For a commutative quantale $\mathcal{V}$, the category $\mathcal{V}-cat$ can be perceived as a category of generalised metric spaces and non-expanding maps. We show that any type constructor $T$ (formalised as an endofunctor on sets) can be…

A folklore result in category theory is that a (weakly) Cartesian closed category with finite co-products is distributive. Usually, the proof of this small result is carried on using the fact that the exponential functor is right adjoint to…

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…

For a smooth algebraic variety $X$, we study the category of finitely generated modules over the ring of function of $X$ that has a compatible action of the Lie algebra $\mathcal{V}$ of polynomials vector fields on $X$. We show that the…

We provide a motivated introduction to the theory of categorical actions of groups and the local geometric Langlands program. Along the way we emphasize applications, old and new, to the usual representation theory of reductive and affine…

We survey some of the progress made recently in the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their measure preserving actions on probability spaces. We emphasize results which provide classes of…

In this talk, I will survey recent progress made on the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their actions on probability spaces. In particular, I will present the first results which provide classes of…

We consider an action of a countable amenable group on a compact metric space, focusing on the set of generic points with respect to a fixed F{\o}lner sequence. For a given characteristic class, we prove that the set of points that are…

The work is devoted to the extension groups in the category of functors from a small category to an additive category with an Abelian structure in the sense of Heller. It is constructed a spectral sequence which converges to the extension…

We give the basic definitions of group actions on (algebraic) stacks, and prove the existence of fixed points and quotients as (algebraic) stacks.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic two. Let R be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over k. We construct a group stack \hat G over k, the metaplectic extension of the Greenberg realization of Sp_{2n}(R). We also…

Motivated by the study of the interrelation between functorial and algebraic quantum field theory, we point out that on any locally trivial bundle of compact groups, representations up to homotopy are enough to separate points by means of…

Generators and relations are given for the subalgebra of cocommutative elements in the quantized coordinate rings of the classical groups, where the deformation parameter q is transcendental. This is a ring theoretic formulation of the well…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be an algebraic group over a local field $\mathbf k$ of characteristic zero. We show that the locally compact group $\mathbf G(\mathbf k)$ consisting of the $\mathbf k$-rational points of $\mathbf G$ is of type I. Moreover,…

We consider a fixed free and proper action of a locally compact group $G$ on a space $T$, and actions $\alpha:G\to \Aut A$ on $C^*$-algebras for which there is an equivariant embedding of $(C_0(T),\rt)$ in $(M(A),\alpha)$. A recent theorem…

For any commutative ring $R$, we show that the categories of $R$-coalgebras and cocommutative $R$-coalgebras are locally $\aleph_1$-presentable, while the categories of $R$-flat $R$-coalgebras are $\aleph_1$-accessible. Similarly, for any…

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 show that a class of algebras is closed under the taking of homomorphic images and direct products if and only if the class consists of all algebras that satisfy a set of (generally simultaneous) equations. For classes of regular…

We prove the first rigidity and classification theorems for crossed product von Neumann algebras given by actions of non-discrete, locally compact groups. We prove that for arbitrary free probability measure preserving actions of connected…

We continue the analysis of definably compact groups definable in a real closed field $\mathcal{R}$. In [3], we proved that for every definably compact definably connected semialgebraic group $G$ over $\mathcal{R}$ there are a connected…
