We show that topological amenability of an action of a countable discrete group on a compact space is equivalent to the existence of an invariant mean for the action. We prove also that this is equivalent to vanishing of bounded cohomology…

For any locally compact group $G$ and any Banach algebra $A$, a characterization of the closed Lie ideals of the generalized group algebra $L^1(G,A)$ is obtained in terms of left and right actions by $G$ and $A$. In addition, when $A$ is…

We survey some of the progress made recently in the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their measure preserving actions on probability spaces. We emphasize results which provide classes of…

A {1}-structure on a Banach manifold M (with model space E) is an E-valued 1-form on M that induces on each tangent space an isomorphism onto E. Given a Banach principal bundle P with connected base space and a {1}-structure on P, we show…

We prove that for a Banach algebra $A$ having a bounded $\mathcal{Z}(A)$-approximate identity and for every $\bf[IN]$ group $G$ with weight $w$ which is either constant on conjugacy classes or $w \geq 1$, $\mathcal{Z}\big(L^1_w(G)…

We investigate growth properties of cocycles with values in uniformly bounded representations on super-reflexive Banach spaces; this includes $L^p$-spaces for $1<p<\infty$ as well as Hilbert spaces. We then study the generalized Hilbert…

We study bounded actions of groups and semigroups $G$ on exact sequences of Banach spaces from the point of view of quasilinear maps, characterize the actions on the twisted sum space by commutator estimates and introduce the associated…

Consider a locally compact group $G=Q\ltimes V$ such that $V$ is abelian and the action of $Q$ on the dual abelian group $\hat V$ has a free orbit of full measure. We show that such a group $G$ can be quantized in three equivalent ways: (1)…

Let $c:\mathcal{G}\to\R$ be a cocycle on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ with Haar system. Under some mild conditions (satisfied by all integer valued cocycles on \'{e}tale groupoids), $c$ gives rise to an unbounded odd…

A Banach algebra $A$ is said to be zero Lie product determined if every continuous bilinear functional $\varphi \colon A\times A\to \mathbb{C}$ with the property that $\varphi(a,b)=0$ whenever $a$ and $b$ commute is of the form…

The smooth action of a compact Lie group on a compact manifold can be resolved to an iterated space, as made explicit by Pierre Albin and the second author. On the resolution the lifted action has fixed isotropy type, in an iterated sense,…

Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group acting on a space $X$, let $\mu$ be a compactly supported measure on $G$, and let $A$ be a strongly irreducible linear cocycle over the action of $G$. We then have a random walk on $X$, and let $T$ be the…

For a locally compact group $G$ and a compact subgroup $H$, we show that the Banach space $M(G/H)$ may be considered as a quotient space of $M(G)$. Also, we define a convolution on $M(G/H)$ which makes it into a Banach algebra. It may be…

For a Banach algebra $A$ with a bounded approximate identity, we investigate the $A$-module homomorphisms of certain introverted subspaces of $A^*$, and show that all $A$-module homomorphisms of $A^*$ are normal if and only if $A$ is an…

A classical theorem of Scheunert on $G$-color Lie algebras, asserts in the case of finitely generated abelian groups, one can twist the algebra structure and the commutation bicharacter on $G$ by a 2-cocycle twist to a super-Lie $G$ graded,…

Given a short exact sequence of locally compact abelian groups $0 \to A \to B \to C \to 0$ and a continuous $C$-valued $1$-cocycle $\phi$ on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\Gamma$ we construct a twist of $\Gamma$ by $A$ that is…

In this paper, two main results concerning uniformly continuous retractions are proved. First, an $\alpha$-H\"older retraction from any separable Banach space onto a compact convex subset whose closed linear span is the whole space is…

Let $M$ be a $G$-manifold and $\om$ a $G$-invariant exact $m$-form on $M$. We indicate when these data allow us to constract a cocycle on a group $G$ with values in the trivial $G$-module $\mathbb R$ and when this cocycle is nontrivial.

Let $(Z,\omega)$ be a connected Kahler manifold with an holomorphic action of the complex reductive Lie group $U^{\mathbb C}$, where $U$ is a compact connected Lie group acting in a hamiltonian fashion. Let $G$ be a closed compatible Lie…

We consider a crossed product of a unital simple separable nuclear stably finite Z-stable C*-algebra A by a strongly outer cocycle action of a discrete countable amenable group \Gamma. Under the assumption that A has finitely many extremal…
