Let G be a finitely generated group, let $\pi \colon G \to {\rm GL}(E)$ be a uniformly bounded $c_0$-representation on a superreflexive Banach space $E$, and let $b \colon G \to E$ be a $1$-cocycle for $\pi$. Then $b$ has sublinear growth…

We study different notions of asymptotic growth for 1-cocycles of isometric representations on Banach spaces. One can see this as a way of quantifying the absence of fixed point properties on such spaces. Inspired by the work of Lafforgue,…

We show that every hyperbolic group has a proper uniformly Lipschitz affine action on a subspace of an $L^1$ space. We also prove that every acylindrically hyperbolic group has a uniformly Lipschitz affine action on such a space with…

We study growth of 1-cocycles of locally compact groups, with values in unitary representations. Discussing the existence of 1-cocycles with linear growth, we obtain the following alternative for a class of amenable groups G containing…

In this paper we give some results about the approximation of a Lipschitz function on a Banach space by means of $\Delta$-convex functions. In particular, we prove that the density of $\Delta$-convex functions in the set of Lipschitz…

To describe a set of functions, which forms a reflexive subspace B of the classical Banach space L a special function that characterizes their average integral growth is introduced. It is shown that this function essentially depends on the…

We consider L^p-cohomology of reflexive Banach spaces and give a spectral condition implying the vanishing of 1-cohomology with coefficients in uniformly bounded representations on a Hilbert space.

We characterize the asymptotic behaviour of the compression associated to a uniform embedding into some Lp-space for a large class of groups including connected Lie groups with exponential growth and word-hyperbolic finitely generated…

We introduced the concept of strong property $(\mathbb{B})$ with a constant for Banach algebras and, by applying certain analysis on the Fourier algebra of a unit circle, we show that all C$^*$-algebras and group algebras have the strong…

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…

We are concerned about improvements of the modulus of convexity by renormings of a super-reflexive Banach space. Typically optimal results are beyond Pisier's power functions bounds $t^p$, with $p \geq 2$, and they are related to the notion…

We show that every metric space with bounded geometry uniformly embeds into an explicit reflexive Banach space (a direct sum of l^p spaces). In the case of discrete groups we show the analogue of a-T-menability. That is, we construct a…

In this paper we obtain new characterizations of the uniformly convex and smooth Banach spaces. These characterizations are established by using Lp-boundedness properties of Littlewood-Paley functions and area integrals associated with heat…

We construct finitely generated groups with arbitrary prescribed Hilbert space compression \alpha from the interval [0,1]. For a large class of Banach spaces E (including all uniformly convex Banach spaces), the E-compression of these…

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…

We study universal approximation of continuous functionals on compact subsets of products of Hilbert spaces. We prove that any such functional can be uniformly approximated by models that first take finitely many continuous linear…

Given a superreflexive Banach space $X$, and a set $E \subset X$, we characterise the $1$-jets $(f,G)$ on $E$ that admit $C^{1,\omega}$ convex extensions $(F,DF)$ to all of $X$; where $\omega$ is any admissible modulus of continuity…

We study growth rates for strongly continuous semigroups. We prove that a growth rate for the resolvent on imaginary lines implies a corresponding growth rate for the semigroup if either the underlying space is a Hilbert space, or the…

\.{Z}uk proved that if a finitely generated group admits a Cayley graph such that the Laplacian on the links of this Cayley graph has a spectral gap $> \frac{1}{2}$, then the group has property (T), or equivalently, every affine isometric…

It is well known in convex analysis that proximal mappings on Hilbert spaces are $1$-Lipschitz. In the present paper we show that proximal mappings on uniformly convex Banach spaces are uniformly continuous on bounded sets. Moreover, we…
