Given a discrete group $\Gamma$, a finite factor $\mathcal N$ and a real number $p\in [1, +\infty)$ with $p\neq 2,$ we are concerned with the rigidity of actions of $\Gamma$ by linear isometries on the $L_p$-spaces $L_p(\mathcal N)$…

We say that a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ satisfies the invariant von Neumann subalgebras rigidity (ISR) property if every $\Gamma$- invariant von Neumann subalgebra $\mathcal{M}$ in $L(\Gamma)$ is of the form $L(\Lambda)$ for some…

We show that if $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X^\Gamma,\mu^\Gamma)$ is a Bernoulli action of an i.c.c. nonamenable group $\Gamma$ which is weakly amenable with Cowling-Haagerup constant $1$, and $\Lambda\curvearrowright(Y,\nu)$ is a free ergodic…

In this note we consider a $p$-isometrisability property of discrete groups. If $p=2$ this property is equivalent to unitarisability. We prove that any group containing a non-abelian free subgroup is not $p$-isometrisable for any $p\in (1,…

Ab\'ert-Weiss have shown that the Bernoulli shift s of a countably infinite group \Gamma is weakly contained in any free measure preserving action (mpa) b of \Gamma. We establish a strong version of this result, conjectured by Ioana, by…

We consider the following three properties for countable discrete groups $\Gamma$: (1) $\Gamma$ has an infinite subgroup with relative property (T), (2) the group von Neumann algebra $L\Gamma$ has a diffuse von Neumann subalgebra with…

We prove that if a measure distal action $\alpha$ of a countable group $\Gamma$ is weakly contained in a strongly ergodic probability measure preserving action $\beta$ of $\Gamma$, then $\alpha$ is a factor of $\beta$. In particular, this…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group with property $(T)$ of Kazhdan. We prove that any Riemannian isometric action of $\Gamma$ on a compact manifold $X$ is locally rigid. We also prove a more general foliated version of this result. The…

We show that if $G$ is a real semi-simple Lie group, and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$ containing a subgroup $\Sigma$ acting ergodically (in a strong sense) on the Furstenberg boundary of $G$, then $\Gamma$ is not isomorphic to a…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of a discrete (countable) group $\Gamma$. We introduce a notion of relative inner amenability of $G$ in $\Gamma$, we prove some equivalent conditions and provide examples as well as counter-examples. We also discuss…

We show that a discrete group $\Gamma$ which admits a non-elementary isometric action on a Hadamard manifold of bounded negative curvature admits an isometric action on an $L^p$-space $V$ for some $p>1$ with $H^1(\Gamma,V)\not=0$.

Let p be a real number with 1<p and different from 2. We study Property (T_lp) for a second countable locally compact group G. Property (T_lp) is a weak version of Kazhdan's Property (T), defined in terms of the orthogonal representations…

For any countable group $\Gamma$ satisfying the ``weak Rohlin property'', and for any dynamical property, the set of $\Gamma$-actions with that property is either residual or meager. The class of groups with the weak Rohlin property…

In this paper we establish $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d,\gamma_\infty)$-boundedness properties for square functions involving time and spatial derivatives of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups. Here $\gamma_\infty$ denotes the invariant measure. In order…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group. We say that $\Gamma$ has $C^*$-invariant subalgebra rigidity (ISR) property if every $\Gamma$-invariant $C^*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{A}\le C_r^*(\Gamma)$ is of the form $C_r^*(N)$ for some normal…

For every given $p\in [1,+\infty)$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$ with $n\ge 1$, the authors identify the strong $L^p$-closure $L_{\mathbb{Z}}^p(D)$ of the class of vector fields having finitely many integer topological singularities on a domain $D$…

We define and study the notion of property $(\rm T)$ for Banach algebras, generalizing the one from $C^*$-algebras. For a second countable locally compact group $G$ and a given family of Banach spaces $\mathcal E$, we prove that our Banach…
