We discuss equivariance for linear liftings of measurable functions. Existence is established when a transformation group acts amenably, as e.g. the Moebius group of the projective line. Since the general proof is very simple but not…

We study harmonic functions and Poisson boundaries for Borel probability measures on general (i.e., not necessarily locally compact) topological groups, and we prove that a second-countable topological group is amenable if and only if it…

The Mackey-Zimmer theorem classifies ergodic group extensions $X$ of a measure-preserving system $Y$ by a compact group $K$, by showing that such extensions are isomorphic to a group skew-product $X \equiv Y \rtimes_\rho H$ for some closed…

Let $G$ be an amenable discrete countable infinite group, $A$ a finite set, and $(\mu_g)_{g\in G}$ a family of probability measures on $A$ such that $\inf_{g\in G}\min_{a\in A}\mu_g(a)>0$. It is shown (among other results) that if the…

Mixing (of all orders) rank-one actions $T$ of Heisenberg group $H_3(\Bbb R)$ are constructed. The restriction of $T$ to the center of $H_3(\Bbb R)$ is simple and commutes only with $T$. Mixing Poisson and mixing Gaussian actions of…

This paper is devoted to studying the localization of mixing property via Furstenberg families. It is shown that there exists some $\mathscr{F}_{pubd}$-mixing set in every dynamical system with positive entropy, and some…

We prove an extension of the Moore-Schmidt theorem on the triviality of the first cohomology class of cocycles for the action of an arbitrary discrete group on an arbitrary measure space and for cocycles with values in an arbitrary compact…

We establish a non-ergodic version of the Host-Kra-Ziegler structure theorem for measure-preserving $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions. Our argument reduces the non-ergodic case to the ergodic theorem (for $d\ge 2$ due to Candela and Szegedy) via a…

In sustained growth with random dynamics stationary distributions can exist without detailed balance. This suggests thermodynamical behavior in fast growing complex systems. In order to model such phenomena we apply both a discrete and a…

Suppose $\{f_1,...,f_m\}$ is a set of Lipschitz maps of $\mathbb{R}^d$. We form the iterated function system (IFS) by independently choosing the maps so that the map $f_i$ is chosen with probability $p_i$ ($\sum_{i=1}^m p_i=1$). We assume…

We show that the "twisted" planar random walk - which results by summing up stationary increments rotated by multiples of a fixed angle - is recurrent under diverse assumptions on the increment process. For example, if the increment process…

We consider recurrent diffusive random walks on a strip. We present constructive conditions on Green functions of finite sub-domains which imply a Central Limit Theorem with polynomial error bound, a Local Limit Theorem, and mixing of…

We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ with bounded random but not necessarily identically distributed values of the potential. We prove spectral localization (with exponentially decaying eigenfunctions) as…

In this paper we introduce a general notion of weak extension property for embeddings induced by a group actions. As an example, for the group H(M, m) of measure-preserving homeomorphisms of a noncompact manifold M, we deduce weak type…

This paper is the first part of a project devoted to studying the interconnection between controllability properties of a dynamical system and the large-time asymptotics of trajectories for the associated stochastic system. It is proved…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $\mu$ an admissible probability measure on $G$. Let $(B,\nu)$ be the universal topological Poisson $\mu$-boundary of $(G,\mu)$ and $\Pi_s(G)$ the universal minimal strongly proximal $G$-flow. This note…

Namely, we prove that if $G$ is a countable, discrete group and $f\in M_{n}(\Z(G))$ is invertible on $\ell^{2}(G)^{\oplus n},$ but $f$ is not invertible in $M_{n}(\Z(G))$, then the measure-preserving action of $G$ on $X_{f}$ equipped with…

Let $G$ be a countable discrete group that act minimally on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ by homeomorphisms. Our goal is to establish the equivalence between the faithfulness of the action of $G$ on the generalized Furstenberg boundary…

We consider a nonstationary random walk on a compact metrizable abelian group. Under a classical strict aperiodicity assumption we establish a weak-* convergence to the Haar measure, Ergodic Theorem and Large Deviation Type Estimate.

This paper presents a constructive proof of the existence of a regular non-atomic strictly-positive measure on any second-countable non-atomic locally compact Hausdorff space. This construction involves a sequence of finitely-additive set…
