Boundary groupoids were introduced by the second author, which can be used to model many analysis problems on singular spaces. In order to investigate index theory on boundary groupoids, we introduce the notion of {\em a deformation from…
We establish lower estimates for singular value gaps of free products of $1$-divergent semigroups $\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2\subset \mathsf{GL}_d(\mathbb{K})$ which are in ping-pong position. As an application, we prove that if $\Gamma_1$ and…
Given a semigroup of local homeomorphisms on a compact space X we consider the corresponding semigroup of *-endomorphisms on C(X) and discuss the possibility of extending it to an interaction group, a concept recently introduced by the…
The aim of this note is to announce some results about the probabilistic and deterministic asymptotic properties of linear groups. The first one is the analogue, for norms of random matrix products, of the classical theorem of Cramer on…
In the framework of large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM), we develop a multi-scale theory for the diffeomorphism group based on previous works. The purpose of the paper is (1) to develop in details a variational approach…
It is known to experts that certain regular inclusions of von Neumann algebras arise as crossed products with cocycle actions of the canonical quotient groupoids associated with the inclusions. Similarly, `strongly normal' inclusions of…
We describe a bicategory $(\mathcal{R}ed\,\mathcal{O}rb)$ of reduced orbifolds in the framework of classical differential geometry (i.e. without any explicit reference to notions of Lie groupoids or differentiable stacks, but only using…
In this note, we announce the first results on quasi-isometric rigidity of non-nilpotent polycyclic groups. In particular, we prove that any group quasi-isometric to the three dimenionsional solvable Lie group Sol is virtually a lattice in…
Suppose that $\alpha$ is an action of the semigroup $\mathbb{N}^{2}$ on a $C^*$-algebra $A$ by endomorphisms. Let $A\times_{\alpha}^{\textrm{piso}} \mathbb{N}^{2}$ be the associated partial-isometric crossed product. By applying an earlier…
Laca constructed a minimal automorphic dilation for every semigroup dynamical system arising from an action of an Ore semigroup by injective endomorphisms of a unital $C^*$-algebra. Here we show that the semigroup crossed product with its…
We investigate various groupoids associated to an arbitrary inverse semigroup with zero. We show that the groupoid of filters with respect to the natural partial order is isomorphic to the groupoid of germs arising from the standard action…
The unified product was defined in \cite{am3} related to the restricted extending structure problem for Hopf algebras: a Hopf algebra $E$ factorizes through a Hopf subalgebra $A$ and a subcoalgebra $H$ such that $1\in H$ if and only if $E$…
By Bekka's theorem the group C*-algebra of an amenable group $G$ is residually finite dimensional (RFD) if and only if $G$ is maximally almost periodic (MAP). We generalize this result in two directions of dynamical flavour. Firstly, we…
Let P be a left LCM semigroup, and $\alpha$ an action of $P$ by endomorphisms of a $C^{*}$-algebra $A$. We study a semigroup crossed product $C^{*}$-algebra in which the action $\alpha$ is implemented by partial isometries. This crossed…
We introduce polar metrics on a product manifold, which have product and warped product metrics as special cases. We prove a de Rham-type theorem characterizing Riemannian manifolds that can be locally decomposed as a product manifold…
Using the general notions of finitely presentable and finitely generated object introduced by Gabriel and Ulmer in 1971, we prove that, in any (locally small) category, two sequences of finitely presentable objects and morphisms (or two…
We prove that the bicrossed product of two groups is a quotient of the pushout of two semidirect products. A matched pair of groups $(H, G, \alpha, \beta)$ is deformed using a combinatorial datum $(\sigma, v, r)$ consisting of an…
We characterize the groupoids for which an operator is Fredholm if, and only if, its principal symbol and all its boundary restrictions are invertible. A groupoid with this property is called {\em Fredholm}. Using results on the Effros-Hahn…
We introduce the notion of a symplectic hopfoid, which is a "groupoid-like" object in the category of symplectic manifolds where morphisms are given by canonical relations. Such groupoid-like objects arise when applying a version of the…
We call a restriction semigroup almost perfect if it is proper and its least monoid congruence is perfect. We show that any such semigroup is isomorphic to a `$W$-product' $W(T,Y)$, where $T$ is a monoid, $Y$ is a semilattice and there is a…
