Building upon work of Y. Shalom we give a homological-algebra flavored definition of an induction map in group homology associated to a topological coupling. As an application we obtain estimates of the (co)homological dimension of groups G…
We compute the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariants $\Sigma^1$ for the generalized solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $\Gamma_n$ and their finite index subgroups. Using $\Sigma^1$, we show that certain finite index subgroups of $\Gamma_n$ cannot…
For a $*$-automorphism group $G$ on a $C^*$- or von Neumann algebra, we study the $G$-quasi invariant states and their properties. The $G$-quasi invariance or $G$-strongly quasi invariance are weaker than the $G$-invariance and have wide…
In this article we describe relations of the topology of closed 1-forms to the group theoretic invariants of Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz. Starting with a survey, we extend these Sigma invariants to finite CW- complexes and show that many…
The Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants $\Sigma^q(X,\mathbb{Z})\subset H^1(X,\mathbb{R})$ of a connected, finite-type CW-complex $X$ are the vanishing loci for Novikov-Sikorav homology in degrees up to $q$, while the characteristic…
We develop the theory of quasi--invariant (resp. strongly quasi--invariant) states under the action of a group $G$ of normal $*$--automorphisms of a $*$--algebra (or von Neumann alegbra) $\mathcal{A}$. We prove that these states are…
We prove that the isomorphism problem is decidable for generalized Baumslag-Solitar (GBS) groups with one quasi-conjugacy class and full support gaps. In order to do so we introduce a family of invariants that fully characterize the…
We show how to construct, starting from a quasi-Hopf algebra, or quasi-quantum group, invariants of knots and links. In some cases, these invariants give rise to invariants of the three-manifolds obtained by surgery along these links. This…
This is the first in a series of papers, where we introduce and study topological spaces that realize the algebras of quasi-invariants of finite reflection groups. Our result can be viewed as a generalization of a well-known theorem of A.…
In this work we introduce the notion of almost-symmetry for generalized numerical semigroups. In addition to the main properties occurring in this new class, we present several characterizations for its elements. In particular we show that…
We introduce quasi-invariant polynomials for an arbitrary finite complex reflection group W. Unlike in the Coxeter case, the space Q_k of quasi-invariants of a given multiplicity is not, in general, an algebra but a module over the…
We prove several results concerning quasi-bialgebra morphisms $\mathcal{D}^\omega(G)\to\mathcal{D}^\eta(H)$ of twisted group doubles. We take a particular focus on the isomorphisms which are simultaneously isomorphisms…
We introduce quasi-BPS categories for twisted Higgs bundles, which are building blocks of the derived category of coherent sheaves on the moduli stack of semistable twisted Higgs bundles over a smooth projective curve. Under some condition…
Word metrics on finitely generated groups have canonical quasi-isometry classes, making quasi-isometry invariants genuine group invariants. Rosendal generalized this phenomenon to topological groups through CB-generation, but in the general…
Let $V$ and $W$ be finite dimensional real vector spaces and let $G\subset\GL(V)$ and $H\subset\GL(W)$ be finite subgroups. Assume for simplicity that the actions contain no reflections. Let $Y$ and $Z$ denote the real algebraic varieties…
We develop new invariants similar to the Bieri-Strebel-Neumann-Renz invariants but in the category of Bredon modules (with respect to the class of the finite subgroups of G). We prove that for virtually soluble groups of type FP_{\infty}…
Let $X$ be a smooth complex quasi-projective variety and $\Gamma=\pi_1(X)$. Let $\chi \colon \Gamma \to \mathbb{R}$ be an additive character. We prove that the ray $[\chi]$ does not belong to the BNS set $\Sigma(\Gamma)$ if and only if it…
The purpose of this paper is to give a general survey of Hom-bialgebras, which are bialgebra-type structures where the identities are twisted by a morphism, and to extend the concept of quasi-bialgebra to Hom-setting. We provide some key…
In this paper, we give two elementary constructions of homogeneous quasi-morphisms defined on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of certain closed connected symplectic manifolds (or on its universal cover). The first quasi-morphism,…
We prove that homological filling functions over a ring $R$ equipped with the discrete norm are quasi-isometry invariants for all groups of type $\mathrm{FP}_n$. This confirms a conjecture of Bader-Kropholler-Vankov in the case of discrete…
