Using a recent Furstenberg structure theorem, we obtain Multiple Recurrence Theorems relative to any locally compact second countable Noetherian module $G$ over a syndetic ring $R$, which generalizes Furstenberg's multiple recurrence…
A dynamical version of the Bourgain-Fremlin-Talagrand dichotomy shows that the enveloping semigroup of a dynamical system is either very large and contains a topological copy of the Stone-Cech compactification of the natural numbers, or it…
We prove a number of results having to do with equipping type-I $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras with compact quantum group structures, the two main ones being that such a compact quantum group is necessarily co-amenable, and that if the…
We generalize several results on Toeplitz operators over reflexive, standard weighted Fock spaces $F_t^p$ to the non-reflexive cases $p = 1, \infty$. Among these results are the characterization of compactness and the Fredholm property of…
Combining the theory of extensions of C*-algebras and the Pimsner construction, we show that every countable infinite discrete group admits an ergodic action on arbitrary unital Kirchberg algebra. In the proof, we give a Pimsner…
The C*-algebra generated by the left-regular representation of $\mathbb{N}^n$ twisted by a $2$-cocycle is a Toeplitz extension of an $n$-dimensional noncommutative torus, on which each vector $r \in [0,\infty)^n$ determines a one-parameter…
By juxtaposing ideas from fractal geometry and dynamical systems, Furstenberg proposed a series of conjectures in the late 1960's that explore the relationship between digit expansions with respect to multiplicatively independent bases. In…
We show that some $C^*$--dynamical systems obtained by "quantizing" classical ones on the free Fock space, enjoy very strong ergodic properties. Namely, if the classical dynamical system $(X, T, \m)$ is ergodic but not weakly mixing, then…
We give some natural conditions on actions of discrete countable groups on abelian locally compact groups of Lie type that imply factoriality of the group von Neumann algebras of their semidirect products. This allows us to give a fairly…
We show that if G is a discrete group which does not have the Haagerup property but does have an unbounded cocycle into a C_0 representation and if G acts on a finite von Neumann algebra B such that the inclusion B \subset (B \rtimes G) has…
We demonstrate that And\'ujar Guerrero, Thomas and Walsberg's results on definable compactness in o-minimal structures still hold true in definably complete locally o-minimal structures. As an application, we show that a definably simple…
We develop a dynamical version of some of the theory surrounding the Toms-Winter conjecture for simple separable nuclear C*-algebras and study its connections to the C*-algebra side via the crossed product. We introduce an analogue of…
We study compact group actions with finite Rokhlin dimension, particularly in relation to crossed products. For example, we characterize the duals of such actions, generalizing previous partial results for the Rokhlin property. As an…
We introduce the notion of dynamic asymptotic dimension growth for actions of discrete groups on compact spaces, and more generally for locally compact \'etale groupoids. Using the work of Bartels, L\"uck, and Reich, we bridge asymptotic…
Given a Hopf algebra $A$ graded by a discrete group together with an action of the same group preserving the grading, we define a new Hopf algebra, which we call the graded twisting of $A$. If the action is adjoint, this new Hopf algebra is…
Starting out from results known for the most classical cases of N, Z^d, R^d or for sigma-finite abelian groups, here we define the notion of asymptotic uniform upper density in general locally compact abelian groups. Even if a bit…
Let $G$ be a discrete countable infinite group that does not have Kazhdan's property ~(T) and let $\kappa$ be a generating probability measure on $G$. Then for each $t>0$, there is a type $III_1$ ergodic free nonsingular $G$-action whose…
The notion of compact quantum subgroup is revisited and an alternative definition is given. Induced representations are considered and a Frobenius reciprocity theorem is obtained. A relationship between ergodic actions of compact quantum…
We address the problem to characterise closed type I subgroups of the automorphism group of a tree. Even in the well-studied case of Burger-Mozes' universal groups, non-type I criteria were unknown. We prove that a huge class of groups…
This text is a detailed overview of the theories of W*-algebras and noncommutative integration, up to the Falcone-Takesaki theory of noncommutative Lp spaces over arbitrary W*-algebras, and its extension to noncommutative Orlicz spaces. The…
