In this paper we study analogues of amenability for topological groups in the context of definable structures. We prove fixed point theorems for such groups. More importantly, we propose definitions for definable actions and continuous…

We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…

Given a Hausdorff locally compact \'etale groupoid $\mathcal G$, we describe as a topological space the part of the primitive spectrum of $C^*(\mathcal G)$ obtained by inducing one-dimensional representations of amenable isotropy groups of…

We define the notion of invariant derivation of a C*-algebra under a compact quantum group action and prove that in certain conditions, such derivations are generators of one parameter automorphism groups.

Following Elliott's earlier work, we show that the Elliott invariant of any finite separable simple $C^*$-algebra with finite nuclear dimension can always be described as a scaled simple ordered group pairing together with a countable…

We give a complete characterization of the locally compact groups that are non-elementary Gromov-hyperbolic and amenable. They coincide with the class of mapping tori of discrete or continuous one-parameter groups of compacting…

A C*-algebra is n-homogeneous (where n is finite) if every its nonzero irreducible representation acts on an n-dimensional Hilbert space. An elementary proof of Fell's characterization of n-homogeneous C*-algebras (by means of their…

We consider an action of a countable amenable group on a compact metric space, focusing on the set of generic points with respect to a fixed F{\o}lner sequence. For a given characteristic class, we prove that the set of points that are…

Generalizing Block and Weinberger's characterization of amenability we introduce the notion of uniformly finite homology for a group action on a compact space and use it to give a homological characterization of topological amenability for…

We consider a crossed product of a unital simple separable nuclear stably finite Z-stable C*-algebra A by a strongly outer cocycle action of a discrete countable amenable group \Gamma. Under the assumption that A has finitely many extremal…

We propose to study some properties of the $C^*$-algebra naturally built out of the fundamental action that an automaton group $G$ admits on a regular rooted trees $\tree$.

We develop a semigroup approach to representation theory for pro-Lie groups satisfying suitable amenability conditions. As an application of our approach, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of unitary…

For a locally compact group $G$, let $A(G)$ denote its Fourier algebra, $M_{cb}(A(G))$ the completely bounded multipliers of $A(G)$, and $A_{M_cb}(G)$ the closure of $A(G)$ in $M_{cb}(A(G))$. We show that, if $A_{M_cb}(G)$ is amenable, then…

The goal of this article is to study results and examples concerning finitely presented covers of finitely generated amenable groups. We collect examples of groups $G$ with the following properties: (i) $G$ is finitely generated, (ii) $G$…

The paper considers computable Folner sequences in computably enumerable amenable groups. We extend some basic results of M. Cavaleri on existence of such sequences to the case of groups where finite generation is not assumed. We also…

We study actions of groups by homeomorphisms on $\mathbf{R}$ (or an interval) that are minimal, have solvable germs at $\pm \infty$ and contain a pair of elements of a certain type. We call such actions coherent. We establish that such an…

We give a sufficient condition for a countable group $G$ to possess a probability measure $\mu$ that admits a non-trivial $\mu$-boundary modeled in the space $\mathrm{Sub}_{\mathrm{am}}(G)$ of amenable subgroups of $G$. In particular, for…

By giving an interesting characterisation of amenable multiplicative unitaries in term of one dimensional representations, we show in a simple way that bicrossproducts of amenable locally compact groups is both amenable and coamenable.

A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely, the class of separable simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have…

We continue our study of the concepts of amenability and co-amenability for algebraic quantum groups in the sense of A. Van Daele and our investigation of their relationship with nuclearity and injectivity. One major tool for our analysis…
