Let $X=G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group $G$ by its non-cocompact arithmetic lattice. Let $H$ be a reductive algebraic subgroup of $G$ acting on $X$. We give several equivalent algebraic conditions on $H$ for the existence…
We consider a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $G$, and twist by a more general locally compact Hausdorff abelian group $\Gamma$ rather than the complex unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We investigate the construction of $C^*$-algebras in…
We study the topology of compact manifolds with a Lie group action for which there are only finitely many non-principal orbits, and describe the possible orbit spaces which can occur. If some non-principal orbit is singular, we show that…
For a finitely generated group G and a banach space X let \alpha^*_X(G) (respectively \alpha^#_X(G)) be the supremum over all \alpha\ge 0 such that there exists a Lipschitz mapping (respectively an equivariant mapping) f:G\to X and c>0 such…
For any locally compact group $G$, we show the existence and uniqueness up to quasi-equivalence of a unitary $C_0$-representation $\pi_0$ of $G$ such that all coefficient functions of $C_0$-representations of $G$ are coefficient functions…
We initiate the study of the Stone-\v{C}ech transformation groupoid $\mathcal{G} = \mathcal{S}\ltimes\beta\mathcal{S}$ of an inverse semigroup $\mathcal{S}$. We prove that the properties of being Hausdorff, principal, and effective are all…
We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a trace on the essential $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebra of a (not necessarily Hausdorff) \'etale groupoid $G$ which extends an invariant measure $\mu$ on the unit space of $G$. In particular,…
Let $G$ be a Lie group, $\Gamma\subset G$ a discrete subgroup, $X=G/\Gamma$, and $f$ an affine map from $X$ to itself. We give conditions on a submanifold $Z$ of $X$ guaranteeing that the set of points $x\in X$ with $f$-trajectories…
We show that, given a continuous action $\alpha$ of a locally compact group $G$ on a factor $M$, the relative commutant $M'\cap(M\rtimes_{\alpha} G)$ is contained in $M\rtimes_{\alpha} H$ where $H$ is the subgroup of elements acting without…
In this short note we give an answer to the following question. Let $X$ be a locally compact metric space with group of isometries $G$. Let $\{g_i\}$ be a net in $G$ for which $g_ix$ converges to $y$, for some $x,y\in X$. What can we say…
Generalizing work by Pinzari and Roberts, we characterize actions of a compact quantum group G on C*-algebras in terms of what we call weak unitary tensor functors from Rep G into categories of C*-correspondences. We discuss the relation of…
In this paper we prove that every finite group $G$ can be realized as the group of self-homotopy equivalences of infinitely many elliptic spaces $X$. Moreover, $X$ can be chosen to be the rationalization of an inflexible compact simply…
We consider infinite tensor product actions of $G = \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ on the UHF-algebra $D = \text{End}(V)^{\otimes \infty}$ for a finite-dimensional unitary $G$-representation $V$ and determine the equivariant homotopy type of the…
The notion of qausi-product actions of a compact group on a C$^*$-algebra was introduced by Bratteli et al. in their attempt to seek an equivariant analogue of Glimm's characterization of non-type I C$^*$-algebras. We show that a faithful…
Let $G$ be a locally compact group with cocompact connected component. We prove that the assembly map from the topological $\k$-theory of $G$ to the $\k$-theory of the reduced $C^*$-algebra of $G$ is an isomorphism.
By recent work on some conjectures of Pillay, each definably compact group $G$ in a saturated o-minimal expansion of an ordered field has a normal ``infinitesimal subgroup'' $G^{00}$ such that the quotient $G/G^{00}$, equipped with the…
We associate a rigid C*-tensor category $C$ to a totally disconnected locally compact group $G$ and a compact open subgroup $K < G$. We characterize when $C$ has the Haagerup property or property (T), and when $C$ is weakly amenable. When…
We study Fell bundles on groupoids from the viewpoint of quantale theory. Given any saturated upper semicontinuous Fell bundle $\pi:E\to G$ on an \'etale groupoid $G$ with $G_0$ locally compact Hausdorff, equipped with a suitable completion…
We define the Brauer group $\Br(G)$ of a locally compact groupoid $G$ to be the set of Morita equivalence classes of pairs $(\A,\alpha)$ consisting of an elementary C*-bundle $\A$ over $G^{(0)}$ satisfying Fell's condition and an action…
Let ${\sf G}$ be a locally compact group, $\mathscr C\overset{q}{\to}{\sf G}$ a Fell bundle and $\mathfrak B=L^1({\sf G}\,\vert\,\mathscr C)$ the algebra of integrable cross-sections associated to the bundle. We give conditions that…
