The classical Gaussian functor associates to every orthogonal representation of a locally compact group $G$ a probability measure preserving action of $G$ called a Gaussian action. In this paper, we generalize this construction by…

We prove that many, but not all injective factors arise as crossed products by nonsingular Bernoulli actions of the group $\mathbb{Z}$. We obtain this result by proving a completely general result on the ergodicity, type and Krieger's…

We propose a comprehensive dynamical model for cooperative motion of self-propelled particles, e.g., flocking, by combining well-known elements such as velocity-alignment interactions, spatial interactions, and angular noise into a unified…

We develop a notion of groups that act acylindrically and non-elementarily on simplicial trees, which we call acylindrically arboreal groups. We then prove a complete classification of when graph products of groups and the fundamental…

We show that there is a sequence of subsets of each discrete Heisenberg group for which the non-singular ergodic theorem holds. The sequence depends only on the group; it works for any of its non-singular actions. To do this we use a metric…

We conjecture that a countable group $G$ admits a nonsingular Bernoulli action of type III$_1$ if and only if the first $L^2$-cohomology of $G$ is nonzero. We prove this conjecture for all groups that admit at least one element of infinite…

We determine the Krieger type of nonsingular Bernoulli actions $G \curvearrowright \prod_{g \in G} (\{0,1\},\mu_g)$. When $G$ is abelian, we do this for arbitrary marginal measures $\mu_g$. We prove in particular that the action is never of…

We give elementary constructions of factors of nonsingular Bernoulli shifts. In particular, we show that all nonsingular Bernoulli shifts on a finite number of symbols which satisfy the Doeblin condition have a factor that is equivalent to…

We give examples of principal algebraic actions of the noncommutative free group $F$ of rank two, as well as other groups, by automorphisms of a connected compact abelian group for which there is an explicit measurable isomorphism to a…

Collective actuation in active solids - the spontaneous coherent excitation of a few vibrational modes - emerges from a feedback between structural deformations and the orientation of active forces. It is an excellent candidate as a basic…

This paper deals with measurable stationary symmetric stable random fields indexed by R^d and their relationship with the ergodic theory of nonsingular R^d-actions. Based on the phenomenal work of Rosinski(2000), we establish extensions of…

Every affine isometric action $\alpha$ of a group $G$ on a real Hilbert space gives rise to a nonsingular action $\hat{\alpha}$ of $G$ on the associated Gaussian probability space. In the recent paper [AIM19], several results on the…

We show that for a given finitely generated group, its Bernoulli shift space can be equivariantly embedded as a subset of a space of pointed trees with Gromov-Hausdorff metric and natural partial action of a free group. Since the latter can…

We prove that every infinite amenable group admits Bernoulli actions of any possible Krieger type, including type $II_\infty$ and type $III_0$. We obtain this result as a consequence of general results on the ergodicity and Krieger type of…

We study the averaged products of characteristic polynomials for the Gaussian and Laguerre $\beta$-ensembles with external source, and prove Pearcey-type phase transitions for particular full rank perturbations of source. The phases are…

We survey known results about phase transitions in various models of statistical physics when the underlying space is a nonamenable graph. Most attention is devoted to transitive graphs and trees.

We investigate Gaussian actions through the study of their crossed-product von Neumann algebra. The motivational result is Chifan and Ioana's ergodic decomposition theorem for Bernoulli actions (Ergodic subequivalence relations induced by a…

This paper proves various results concerning non-ergodic actions of locally compact groups and particularly Borel cocycles defined over such actions. The general philosophy is to reduce the study of the cocycle to the study of its…

In this paper, we prove that Bernoulli percolation on bounded degree graphs with isoperimetric dimension $d>4$ undergoes a non-trivial phase transition (in the sense that $p_c<1$). As a corollary, we obtain that the critical point of…

We investigate the possibility of discrete groups furnishing a kinematic framework for systems whose thermodynamic behaviour may be given by non-additive entropies. Relying on the well-known result of the growth rate of balls of nilpotent…
