Let $M$ be compact negatively curved manifold, $\Gamma =\pi_1(M)$ and $\tilde{M}$ be its universal cover. Denote by $B =\partial \tilde{M}$ the geodesic boundary of $\tilde{M}$ and by $\nu$ the Patterson-Sullivan measure on $X$. In this…

A Markov operator $P$ on a probability space $(S,\Sigma,\mu)$, with $\mu$ invariant, is called {\it hyperbounded} if for some $1 \le p<q \le \infty$ it maps (continuously) $L^p$ into $L^q$. We deduce from a recent result of Gl\"uck that a…

We define the Furstenberg boundary of a locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid, generalising the Furstenberg boundary for discrete groups, by providing a construction of a groupoid-equivariant injective envelope. Using this injective…

In this paper, we study how the cohomology of nilpotent groups is affected by Lipschitz maps. We show that, given a smooth Lipschitz map $f$ between two simply-connected nilpotent Lie groups $G$ and $H$, there is a map $\psi$ that induces…

Let $A$ be a Lebesgue measure space. We interpret measures on $A\times A\times R_+$ as 'maps' from $A$ to $A$, which spread $A$ along itself; their Radon-Nikodym derivatives also are spread. We discuss basic properties of the semigroup of…

We describe the kernel of the canonical map from the Floyd boundary of a relatively hyperbolic group to its Bowditch boundary. Using our methods we then prove that a finitely generated group $H$ admitting a quasi-isometric map $\phi$ into a…

We generalize the notion of an approximate indicator for a closed subgroup $H$ of a locally compact group $G$ introduced by Aristov, Runde, and Spronk and extend their characterization of the existence of such nets in terms of the…

We investigate the tracial and ideal structures of $C^*$-algebras of quasi-regular representations of stabilizers of boundary actions. Our main tool is the notion of boundary maps, namely $\Gamma$-equivariant unital completely positive maps…

In this paper, we investigate an equivariant homeomorphism of the boundaries $\partial X$ and $\partial Y$ of two proper CAT(0) spaces $X$ and $Y$ on which a CAT(0) group $G$ acts geometrically. We provide a sufficient condition and an…

We study the dual relationship between quantum group convolution maps $L^1(\mathbb{G})\rightarrow L^{\infty}(\mathbb{G})$ and completely bounded multipliers of $\widehat{\mathbb{G}}$. For a large class of locally compact quantum groups…

An extension of the Lorentz group that includes generators $\Gamma^\mu$ carrying a space-time index has been previously demonstrated to \emph{explicitly} construct the Minkowski metric \emph{within} the internal group space as a consequence…

Let $\text{G}(n)$ be equal either to $\text{PO}(n,1),\text{PU}(n,1)$ or $\text{PSp}(n,1)$ and let $\Gamma \leq \text{G}(n)$ be a uniform lattice. Denote by $\mathbb{H}^n_K$ the hyperbolic space associated to $\text{G}(n)$, where $K$ is a…

A general form for the boundary coupling of a Lie algebroid Poisson sigma model is proposed. The approach involves using the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism in the AKSZ geometrical version, to write a BRST-invariant coupling for a…

We prove the existence of Cannon-Thurston maps for Kleinian groups corresponding to pared manifolds whose boundary is incompressible away from cusps. We also describe the structure of these maps in terms of ending laminations.

We study Koopman and quasi-regular representations corresponding to the action of arbitrary weakly branch group G on the boundary of a rooted tree T. One of the main results is that in the case of a quasi-invariant Bernoulli measure on the…

Mimicking the von Neumann version of Kustermans and Vaes' locally compact quantum groups, Franck Lesieur had introduced a notion of measured quantum groupoid, in the setting of von Neumann algebras. In this article, we suppose that the…

For a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact group of the form $H \times G$, with $H$ compact, we define an $H \times G$-equivariant index of $H$-transversally elliptic operators, which takes values in $KK_*(C^*H, C^*G)$. This…

For a proper, geodesic, Gromov hyperbolic metric space X, a discrete subgroup of isometries \Gamma whose limit set is uniformly perfect, and a disjoint collection of horoballs {H_j}, we show that the set of limit points badly approximable…

The Fourier-Stieltjes and Fourier algebras B(G), A(G) for a general locally compact group G, first studied by P. Eymard, have played an important role in harmonic analysis and in the study of operator algebras generated by G. Recently,…

Let (S(t)) be a one-parameter family S = (S(t)) of positive integral operators on a locally compact space L. For a possibly non-uniform partition of [0,1] define a measure on the path space C([0,1],L) by using a) S(dt) for the transition…
