Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a group $G$. A quasimorphism $f$ on $N$ is $G$-invariant if $f(gxg^{-1}) = f(x)$ for every $g \in G$ and every $x \in N$. The goal in this paper is to establish Bavard's duality theorem of $G$-invariant…

We construct invariant quasimorphisms for groups acting on the circle. Furthermore, we provide a criterion for the non-extendablity of the resulting quasimorphisms and an explicit formula which relates the values of our quasimorphisms to…

Let $G$ be a group and $N$ its normal subgroup. On the mixed commutator subgroup $[G,N]$, the mixed stable commutator length $\mathrm{scl}_{G,N}$ and the restriction of the ordinary stable commutator length $\mathrm{scl}_{G}$ are defined.…

Let $G=A \ast B$ be a free product of freely indecomposable groups. We explicitly construct quasimorphisms on $G$ which are invariant with respect to all automorphisms of $G$. We also prove that the space of such quasimorphisms is…

For a pair $(G,N)$ of a group $G$ and its normal subgroup $N$, we consider the space of quasimorphisms and quasi-cocycles on $N$ non-extendable to $G$. To treat this space, we establish the five-term exact sequence of cohomology relative to…

We provide a general sufficient condition for extendability of quasimorphisms on subgroups. This condition recovers the result of Hull--Osin on quasimorphisms on hyperbolically embedded subgroups, and the proof given in this paper is much…

A nonpolycyclic nilpotent-by-cyclic group Gamma can be expressed as the HNN extension of a finitely-generated nilpotent group N. The first main result is that quasi-isometric nilpotent-by-cyclic groups are HNN extensions of quasi-isometric…

Bavard proved a duality theorem between commutator length and quasimorphisms. Burago, Ivanov and Polterovich introduced the notion of a conjugation-invariant norm which is a generalization of commutator length. Entov and Polterovich proved…

This article provides an expository account of the celebrated duality theorem of Bavard and three its strengthenings. The Bavard duality theorem connects scl (stable commutator length) and quasimorphisms on a group. Calegari extended the…

A (non-commutative) Ulam quasimorphism is a map $q$ from a group $\Gamma$ to a topological group $G$ such that $q(xy)q(y)^{-1}q(x)^{-1}$ belongs to a fixed compact subset of $G$. Generalizing the construction of Barge and Ghys, we build a…

The present paper constructs unbounded quasimorphisms that are invariant under all automorphisms on free products of more than two factors and on graph products of finitely generated abelian groups. This includes many classes of right…

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…

Symmetry invariants of a group specify the classes of quasiparticles, namely the classes of projective irreducible co-representations in systems having that symmetry. More symmetry invariants exist in discrete point groups than the full…

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…

This paper presents a simplification of the main argument in "Effective quasimorphisms on right-angled Artin groups" by Fern\'os, Forester and Tao. Their article introduces a family of quasimorphisms on a certain class of groups (called…

Let $\hat{G}$ be a group and $G$ its normal subgroup. In this paper, we study $\hat{G}$-invariant quasimorphisms on $G$ which appear in symplectic geometry and low dimensional topology. As its application, we prove the non-existence of a…

We develop a new criterion to tell if a group $G$ has the maximal gap of $1/2$ in stable commutator length (scl). For amalgamated free products $G = A \star_C B$ we show that every element $g$ in the commutator subgroup of $G$ which does…

Let H be a complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space. We describe the form of all *-semigroup endomorphisms $\phi$ of B(H) which are uniformly continuous on every commutative C*-subalgebra. In particular, we obtain that if $\phi$ satisfies…

We prove that for any euclidean ring R and n at least 6, Gamma=SL_n(R) has no unbounded quasi-homomorphisms. From Bavard's duality theorem, this means that the stable commutator length vanishes on Gamma. The result is particularly…

For a unital ring $S$, an $S$-linear quasigroup is a unital $S$-module, with automorphisms $\rho$ and $\lambda$ giving a (nonassociative) multiplication $x\cdot y=x^\rho+y^\lambda$. If $S$ is the field of complex numbers, then ordinary…
