We consider the behaviour of holomorphic functions on a bounded open subset of the plane, satisfying a Lipschitz condition with exponent $\alpha$, with $0<\alpha<1$, in the vicinity of an exceptional boundary point where all such functions…
Consider the boundary case in a one-dimensional super-critical branching random walk. It is known that upon the survival of the system, the minimal position after $n$ steps behaves in probability like ${3\over 2} \log n$ when $n\to \infty$.…
We say that a group $G$ of local (maybe formal) biholomorphisms satisfies the uniform intersection property if the intersection multiplicity $(\phi (V), W)$ takes only finitely many values as a function of $G$ for any choice of analytic…
Let $X$ be a Borel metric measure space such that each closed ball is of positive and finite measure. In this paper, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for averaging operators on a Banach function space $E(X)$ on $X$ to be…
We show that a free action $G \curvearrowright X$ is almost finite if its restriction to some infinite normal subgroup of $G$ is almost finite. Consider the class of groups which contains all infinite groups of locally subexponential growth…
We extend some properties of random walks on hyperbolic groups to random walks on convergence groups. In particular we prove that if a convergence group $G$ acts on a compact metrizable space $M$ with the convergence property then we can…
For any countable group with infinite conjugacy classes we construct a family of forests on the group. For each of them there is a random walk on the group with the property that its sample paths almost surely converge to the geometric…
We present a comprehensive theory of boundedness properties for Polish groups developed with a main focus on Roelcke precompactness (precompactness of the lower uniformity) and Property (OB) (boundedness of all isometric actions on…
We prove several cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions of higher-rank cocompact lattices on low dimensional manifolds. For example, if $\Gamma$ is a cocompact lattice in $\mathrm{Sl}(n, \mathbb R)$, $M$ is a compact manifold, and…
We determine the asymptotic behavior of the Green function for zero-drift random walks confined to multidimensional convex cones. As a consequence, we prove that there is a unique positive discrete harmonic function for these processes (up…
In this paper we study the Martin boundary at infinity for a large class of purely discontinuous Feller processes on metric measure spaces. We show that if $\infty$ is accessible from an open set $D$, then there is only one Martin boundary…
We introduce a new invariant of Borel reducibility, namely the notion of thickness; this associates to every sentence $\Phi$ of $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1 \omega}$ and to every cardinal $\lambda$, the thickness $\tau(\Phi, \lambda)$ of $\Phi$…
In this paper, we consider minimal group actions of countable groups on compact Hausdorff spaces by homeomorphisms. We show that the existence of a point with finite stabilizer imposes strong restrictions on the dynamics: the residual set…
We prove that every topological action of a countable group on a metrizable space can be realized as a bi-Lipschitz action with respect to some compatible metric. This extends a result due to U. Hamenst\"{a}dt regarding finitely generated…
Countably infinite groups (with a fixed underlying set) constitute a Polish space $G$ with a suitable metric, hence the Baire category theorem holds in $G$. We study isomorphism invariant subsets of $G$, which we call group properties. We…
A compact polyhedron $X$ is said to have the Bounded Index Property for Homotopy Equivalence (BIPHE) if there is a finite bound $\mathcal{B}$ such that for any homotopy equivalence $f:X\rightarrow X$ and any fixed point class $\mathbf{F}$…
We establish a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem in the Bures-Wasserstein space of covariance operators -- or equivalently centred Gaussian measures -- over a general separable Hilbert space. Specifically, we show that…
Let $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X,\mu)$ be a measure preserving action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a standard probability space $(X,\mu)$. We prove that if the action $\Gamma\curvearrowright X$ is not profinite and satisfies a certain…
For any standard Borel space $B$, let $\mathcal{P}(B)$ denote the space of Borel probability measures on $B$. In relation to a difficult problem of Aldous in exchangeability theory, and in connection with arithmetic combinatorics, Austin…
We study periodic points and finitely supported invariant measures for continuous semigroup actions. Introducing suitable notions of periodicity in both topological and measure-theoretical contexts, we analyze the space of invariant Borel…
