The Hardy space on the unit ball in C^n provides examples of a quasi-free, finite rank Hilbert module which contains a pure submodule isometrically isomorphic to the module itself. For n=1 the submodule has finite codimension. In this note…

A group G has homological dimension less or equal to 1 if it is locally free. We prove the converse provided that G satisfies the Atiyah Conjecture about L^2-Betti numbers. We also show that a finitely generated elementary amenable group G…

We determine the length of composition series of projective modules of G-transitive algebras with an Auslander-Reiten component of Euclidean tree class. Furthermore we show that modules with certain length of composition series are…

In recent papers and books, a global quantization has been developed for unimodular groups of type I. It involves operator-valued symbols defined on the product between the group $\mathsf{G}$ and its unitary dual $\widehat{\mathsf{G}}$,…

A theorem of L\"utkebohmert states that a rigid group homomorphism from the formal multiplicative group to a smooth commutative rigid group $G$, with relatively compact image, can be extended to a homomorphism from the rigid multiplicative…

We address the problem to characterise closed type I subgroups of the automorphism group of a tree. Even in the well-studied case of Burger-Mozes' universal groups, non-type I criteria were unknown. We prove that a huge class of groups…

Let $Q$ be a Dynkin quiver and $\Pi$ the corresponding set of positive roots. For the preprojective algebra $\Lambda$ associated to $Q$ we produce a rigid $\Lambda$-module $I_Q$ with $r=|\Pi|$ pairwise non-isomorphic indecomposable direct…

The purpose of this paper is to propose a version of the notion of convenient Lie groupoid as a generalization of this concept in finite dimension. The authors point out which obstructions appear in the infinite dimensional context and how…

In this paper, we give an alternative approach to the theory of locally compact quantum groups, as developed by Kustermans and Vaes. We develop the theory completely within the von Neumann algebra framework. At various points, we also do…

We classify closed abelian subgroups of the automorphism group of any compact classical simple Lie algebra whose centralizer has the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup, and describe Weyl groups of maximal abelian subgroups.

We study properties of the Weyl pseudometric associated with an action of a countable amenable group on a compact metric space. We prove that the topological entropy and the number of minimal subsets of the closure of an orbit are both…

We study the geometry of nonrelatively hyperbolic groups. Generalizing a result of Schwartz, any quasi-isometric image of a non-relatively hyperbolic space in a relatively hyperbolic space is contained in a bounded neighborhood of a single…

We describe the components of the moduli space of conjugacy classes of commuting pairs and triples of elements in a compact Lie group. This description is in terms of the extended Dynkin diagram of the simply connected cover, together with…

The authors proved that a Weyl module for a simple algebraic group is irreducible over every field if and only if the module is isomorphic to the adjoint representation for $E_{8}$ or its highest weight is minuscule. In this paper, we prove…

A general notion of a quasi-finite algebra is introduced as an algebra graded by the set of all integers equipped with topologies on the homogeneous subspaces satisfying certain properties. An analogue of the regular bimodule is introduced…

Let Wh^w(G) be the K_1-group of square matrices over the integral group ring ZG which are not necessarily invertible but induce weak isomorphisms after passing to Hilbert space completions. Let D(G) be the division closure of ZG in the…

It is known that no length or time measurements are possible in sub-Planckian regions of spacetime. The Volovich hypothesis postulates that the micro-geometry of spacetime may therefore be assumed to be non-archimedean. In this letter, the…

The Haagerup approximation property (HAP) is defined for finite von Neumann algebras in such a way that the group von Neumann algebra of a discrete group has the HAP if and only if the group itself has the Haagerup property. The HAP has…

The space of polynomials in two real variables with values in a 2-dimensional irreducible module of a dihedral group is studied as a standard module for Dunkl operators. The one-parameter case is considered (omitting the two-parameter case…

We find all irreducible hypergeometric sheaves whose geometric monodromy group is finite, almost quasisimple and has the projective special linear group $PSL_n(q)$ with $n\geq 3$ as a composition factor. We use the classification of…
