Let $\Sigma_d$ denote the symmetric group of degree $d$ and let $K$ be a field of positive characteristic $p$. For $p>2$ we give an explicit description of the first cohomology group $H^1(\Sigma_d,{\rm{Sp}}(\lambda))$, of the Specht module…
We show that all groups of a distinguished class of \guillemotleft large\guillemotright\ topological groups, that of Roelcke precompact Polish groups, have Kazhdan's Property (T). This answers a question of Tsankov and generalizes previous…
We extend the Becker--Kechris topological realization and change-of-topology theorems for Polish group actions in several directions. For Polish group actions, we prove a single result that implies the original Becker--Kechris theorems, as…
We observe that a Polish group $G$ is amenable if and only if every continuous action of $G$ on the Hilbert cube admits an invariant probability measure. This generalizes a result of Bogatyi and Fedorchuk. We also show that actions on the…
We study topological realizations of countable Borel equivalence relations, including realizations by continuous actions of countable groups, with additional desirable properties. Some examples include minimal realizations on any perfect…
We show that the topological rank of an orbit full group generated by an ergodic, probability measure-preserving free action of a non-discrete unimodular locally compact Polish group is two. For this, we use the existence of a cross section…
For any abelian Polish sigma-compact group H there exist a sigma-ideal Z over N and a Borel Z-approximate homomorphism f : H --> H^N which is not Z-approximable by a continuous true homomorphism g : H --> H^N.
We want to give a construction as simple as possible of a Borel subset of a product of two Polish spaces. This introduces the notion of potential Wadge class. Among other things, we study the non-potentially closed sets, by proving…
In this paper, we determine the descriptive complexity of subsets of the Polish space of marked groups defined by various group theoretic properties. In particular, using Grigorchuk groups, we establish that the sets of solvable groups,…
Let $G$ be a closed permutation group on a countably infinite set $\Omega$, which acts transitively but not highly transitively. If $G$ is oligomorphic, has no algebraicity and weakly eliminates imaginaries, we prove that any probability…
Let G be a connected reductive complex algebraic group and B a Borel subgroup of G. We consider a subgroup H of B acting with finitely many orbits on the flag variety G/B, and we classify the H-orbits in G/B in terms of suitable…
A series of recent papers by Bergfalk, Lupini and Panagiotopoulus developed the foundations of a field known as `definable algebraic topology,' in which classical cohomological invariants are enriched by viewing them as groups with a Polish…
The aim of this paper is to establish a Ratner-type equidistribution theorem for orbits on homogeneous spaces associated with 2-nilpotent locally compact Polish groups under the action of a countable discrete abelian group. We apply this…
Let $C,A$ be countable abelian groups. In this paper we determine the complexity of classifying extensions $C$ by $A$, in the cases when $C$ is torsion-free and $A$ is a $p$-group, a torsion group with bounded primary components, or a free…
We establish a characterization of extreme amenability of any Polish group in Fra\"iss\'e-theoretic terms in the setting of continuous logic, mirroring a theorem due to Kechris, Pestov and Todorcevic for closed subgroups of the permutation…
Let $X$ be an inner product space, let $G$ be a group of orthogonal transformations of $X$, and let $R$ be a bounded $G$-stable subset of $X$. We define very weak and very strong regularity for such pairs $(R,G)$ (in the sense of…
For an increasing sequence $(T_n)$ of one-parameter semigroups of sub Markovian kernel operators over a Polish space, we study the limit semigroup and prove sufficient conditions for it to be strongly Feller. In particular, we show that the…
Let (G, X) be a second-countable transformation group with G acting freely on X. It is shown that measure-theoretic accumulation of the action and topological strength of convergence in the orbit space X/G provide equivalent ways of…
Several recent articles in operator algebras make a nontrivial use of the theory of measurable fields of von Neumann algebras $(M_x)_{x \in X}$ and related structures. This includes the associated field $(\text{Aut}\ M_x)_{x \in X}$ of…
In this paper we investigate local to global phenomena for a new family of complexity functions of infinite words indexed by $k \in \Ni \cup \{+\infty\}$ where $\Ni$ denotes the set of positive integers. Two finite words $u$ and $v$ in…
