A Fixed-Parameter Tractable (\FPT) $\rho$-approximation algorithm for a minimization (resp. maximization) parameterized problem $P$ is an FPT algorithm that, given an instance $(x, k)\in P$ computes a solution of cost at most $k \cdot…

Suppose that f is a Lipschitz function on the real numbers with Lipschitz constant smaller or equal to 1. Let A be a bounded self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space H. Let 1<p<infinity and suppose that x in B(H) is an operator such that…

Suppose that $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is a uniformly rectifiable set of codimension $1$. We show that every harmonic function is $\varepsilon$-approximable in $L^p(\Omega)$ for every $p \in (1,\infty)$, where $\Omega := \mathbb{R}^{n+1}…

New concepts related to approximating a Lipschitz function between Banach spaces by affine functions are introduced. Results which clarify when such approximations are possible are proved and in some cases a complete characterization of the…

Let $T$ be a compact operator on a separable Hilbert space $H$. We show that, for $2\le p<\infty$, $T$ belongs to the Schatten class $S_p$ if and only if $\{\|Tf_n\|\}\in \ell^p$ for \emph{every} frame $\{f_n\}$ in $H$; and for $0<p\le2$,…

Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra. Let us assume that every {\it bounded\/} unital homomorphism $u\colon \ A\to B(H)$ is similar to a {\it contractive\/} one. Let $\text{\rm Sim}(u) = \inf\{\|S\|\, \|S^{-1}\|\}$ where the infimum runs…

The notion of almost centralizer and almost commutator are introduced and basic properties are established. They are used to study $\widetilde{\mathfrak M}\_c$-groups, i. e.groups for which every descending chain of centralizers each having…

Amenability of any of the algebras described in the title is known to force them to be finite-dimensional. The analogous problems for \emph{approximate} amenability have been open for some years now. In this article we give a complete…

Let G be a finitely generated group and (G_i) a descending chain of finite index normal subgroups of G. Given a field K, we consider the sequence b_1(G_i;K)/[G:G_i] of normalized first Betti numbers of G_i with coefficients in K, which we…

We prove various Hardy-type and uncertainty inequalities on a stratified Lie group $G$. In particular, we show that the operators $T_\alpha: f \mapsto |.|^{-\alpha} L^{-\alpha/2} f$, where $|.|$ is a homogeneous norm, $0 < \alpha < Q/p$,…

For an $n\times n$ matrix $A_n$, the $r\to p$ operator norm is defined as $$\|A_n\|_{r\to p}:= \sup_{\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n:\|\mathbf{x} \|_r\leq 1 } \|A_n\mathbf{x} \|_p\quad\text{for}\quad r,p\geq 1.$$ For different choices of $r$ and…

We introduce a generalized inverse Gaussian setting and consider the maximal operator associated with the natural analogue of a nonsymmetric Ornstein--Uhlenbeck semigroup. We prove that it is bounded on $L^{p}$ when $p\in (1,\infty]$ and…

H. J. Schwartz proved in his thesis (1969) that a nonzero bounded operator on Hardy spaces $(H^p, 1\leq p\leq\infty)$ is almost multiplicative if and only if it is a composition operator. But, his proof has a gap. In this article, we show…

This is a survey of our recent results on the amenability problem for Thompson's group $F$. They mostly concern esimating the density of finite subgraphs in Cayley graphs of $F$ for various systems of generators, and also equations in the…

Richard Thompson's group F is the group of piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the unit interval with a finite number of break points, all at dyadic rational numbers (their denominators are powers of 2) and with slopes which are powers of 2.…

In this paper, we establish a comprehensive characterization of the generalized Lipschitz classes through the study of the rate of convergence of a family of semi-discrete sampling operators, of Durrmeyer type, in $L^p$-setting. To achieve…

In this paper, we prove \( L^p \) boundedness results for lacunary elliptic maximal operators on the Heisenberg group. Furthermore, we extend these \( L^p \) estimates from skew-symmetric matrices, which naturally arise in Heisenberg group…

We investigate extensions of S. Solecki's theorem on closing off finite partial isometries of metric spaces \cite{solecki1} and obtain the following exact equivalence: any action of a discrete group $\Gamma$ by isometries of a metric space…

Given a $p$-adic group $G$ equipped with an action of a finite group $\Gamma\subset\mathrm{Aut}_F(\mathbf{G})$, and a reductive fixed-point subgroup $G^\Gamma$, we establish a relationship between constructions of types for these two groups…

We propose a new unifying framework for Thompson-like groups using a well-known device called operads and category theory as language. We discuss examples of operad groups which have appeared in the literature before. As a first…
