Building on work of Popa, Ioana, and Epstein--T\"{o}rnquist, we show that, for every nonamenable countable discrete group $\Gamma$, the relations of conjugacy, orbit equivalence, and von Neumann equivalence of free ergodic (or weak mixing)…
We initiate the study of a measurable analogue of small topological full groups that we call $\mathrm L^1$ full groups. These groups are endowed with a Polish group topology which admits a natural complete right invariant metric. We mostly…
We study some geometric properties of actions on nonpositively curved spaces related to complete reducibility and semisimplicity, focusing on representations of a finitely generated group in the group G of rational points of a reductive…
We examine the Polish group $H_{+}^{AC}$ of order-preserving self-homeomorphisms $f$ of the interval $\left[ 0,1 \right]$ for which both $f$ and $f^{-1}$ are absolutely continuous; in particular, we establish two results. First, we prove…
For a topological group G we introduce the algebra SUC(G) of strongly uniformly continuous functions. It contains the algebra WAP(G) of weakly almost periodic functions as well as the algebras LE(G) and Asp(G) of locally equicontinuous and…
We study genericity of dynamical properties in the space of homeomorphisms of the Cantor set and in the space of subshifts of a suitably large shift space. These rather different settings are related by a Glasner-King type correspondence:…
We study when a continuous isometric action of a Polish group on a complete metric space is, or can be, transitive. Our main results consist of showing that certain Polish groups, namely $\mathrm{Aut}^*(\mu)$ and $\mathrm{Homeo}^+[0,1]$,…
We introduce the property of having good subgroups for actions of countable discrete groups on compact metrizable spaces, and show that it implies comparison when the acting group is amenable. As a consequence, free actions on…
In this article we will see some properties that guarantee that a product of an ergodic non-singular action and a probability preserving ergodic action is also an ergodic action. We will start by proving 'The multiplier theorem' for locally…
We prove a Hurewicz-type theorem for the dynamic asymptotic dimension originally introduced by Guentner, Willett, and Yu. Calculations of (or simply upper bounds on) this dimension are known to have implications related to cohomology of…
When $G$ is a Polish group, metrizability of the universal minimal flow has been shown to be a robust dividing line in the complexity of the topological dynamics of $G$. We introduce a class of groups, the CAP groups, which provides a neat…
It is known that there is a comeagre set of mutually conjugate measure preserving homeomorphisms of Cantor space equipped with the coinflipping probability measure, i.e., Haar measure. We show that the generic measure preserving…
We consider the isometry group of the infinite dimensional separable hyperbolic space with its Polish topology. This topology is given by the pointwise convergence. For non-locally compact Polish groups, some striking phenomena like…
We construct groups G that are virtually torsion-free and have virtual cohomological dimension strictly less than the minimal dimension for any model for the classifying space for proper actions of G. They are the first examples that have…
We show that the classes of partial isometries in finite-dimensional polyhedral spaces and in finite-dimensional rational polyhedral spaces do not have the weak amalgamation property. This implies that the linear isometry group of the…
The main aim of the paper is to introduce a new class of (semigroup-valued) measures that are ultrahomogeneous on the Boolean algebra of all clopen subsets of the Cantor space and to study their automorphism groups. A characterisation, in…
In this article we consider a restricted orbital counting problem for the action of certain discrete groups on suitable spaces. In particular, we present asymptotics for counting those points in an orbit restricted to a single conjugacy…
We show that the (topological) full group of a minimal pseudogroup over the Cantor set satisfies various rigidity phenomena of topological dynamical and combinatorial nature. Our main result applies to its possible homomorphisms into other…
Any discrete action of a group on a locally compact Hadamard space extends to a topological action on the virtual boundary. Croke and Kleiner introduced a class of so-called admissible actions and associated geometric data which determine…
We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…
