In the present work we define and study the classifying (or "quotient") site $[X/\Sigma]$ for any small site $X$ with (countable) coproducts endowed with an action of a (countable) semigroup $\Sigma$. A simple case (the most relevant to our…

We prove that if a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ is {\it w-rigid}, i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup $H$ with the relative property (T) (e.g. $\Gamma= SL(2,\Bbb Z) \ltimes \Bbb Z^2$, or $\Gamma = H \times H'$ with $H$ an…

We prove that for any element $L$ in the completion of the space of smooth compact exact Lagrangian submanifolds of a cotangent bundle equipped with the spectral distance, the $\gamma$-support of $L$ coincides with the reduced micro-support…

We consider a fixed free and proper action of a locally compact group $G$ on a space $T$, and actions $\alpha:G\to \Aut A$ on $C^*$-algebras for which there is an equivariant embedding of $(C_0(T),\rt)$ in $(M(A),\alpha)$. A recent theorem…

We show that for a parabolic R^d-action on a compact quotient of PSL(2,R)^d, the cohomologies in degrees 1 through d-1 trivialize, and we give the obstructions to solving the degree-d coboundary equation, along with bounds on Sobolev norms…

It is well-known that the study of proper affine isometric actions of countable discrete groups in various spaces plays a crucial role in geometric group theory, operator algebras, and high-dimensional topology. In this article, we shall…

In this thesis we solve the coboundary equation $\delta c=d$ with bounds for cochains with values in a coherent subsheaf of some $\mathcal{O}^p_{\Omega}$, where $\Omega$ is a Stein manifold. In particular the existence of a finite set of…

Given a compact surface $M$, consider the natural right action of the group of diffeomorphisms $\mathcal{D}(M)$ of $M$ on $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}(M,\mathbb{R})$ defined by the rule: $(f,h)\mapsto f\circ h$ for $f\in…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a compact symplectic manifold with a Hamiltonian GKM action of a compact torus. We formulate a positive condition on the space; this condition is satisfied if the underlying symplectic manifold is monotone. The main…

Answering a question by Chatterji--Dru\c{t}u--Haglund, we prove that, for every locally compact group $G$, there exists a critical constant $p_G \in [0,\infty]$ such that $G$ admits a continuous affine isometric action on an $L_p$ space…

We formulate and study the notion of $d$-skeletal diffeology, which generalizes that of wire diffeology, introducing the dual notion of $d$-coskeletal diffeology. We first show that paracompact finite-dimensional $C^\infty$-manifolds $M_d$…

Let $R$ be a regular ring of prime characteristic $p > 0$, and let $\underline{\mathbf{f}}=f_1,\ldots,f_c$ be a permutable regular sequence of codimension $c\geq 1$. We describe a complex of $R\langle F \rangle$-modules, denoted…
