In this paper we answer a question of Kaimanovich by characterizing (jointly) bi-harmonic functions on countable, discrete groups with respect to a symmetric, generating measure. We also study the peripheral Poisson boundary of $L(\G)$ with…

The horofunction boundary is a means of compactifying metric spaces that was introduced by Gromov in the 1970s. We describe explicitly the horofunction boundary of the Hilbert geometry, and sketch how it may be used to study the isometry…

In the setting of the Euclidean space equipped with an arbitrary Radon measure, we prove the equivalence between several notions of function of bounded variation present in the literature. We also study the relation between various…

We investigate analogues of some of the classical results in homogeneous dynamics in non-linear setting. Let $G$ be a closed subgroup of the group of automorphisms of a biregular tree and $\Gamma<G$ a discrete subgroup. For a large class of…

We briefly explain some simple arguments based on pseudo Hermiticity, supersymmetry and PT-symmetry which explain the reality of the spectrum of some non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Subsequently we employ PT-symmetry as a guiding principle to…

For geometrically finite group actions on hyperbolic metric spaces and under certain assumptions on the growth of parabolic subgroups, we prove a global shadow lemma for Patterson-Sullivan measures, as well as a Dirichlet-type theorem and a…

We study the global topology of the horofunction compactification of smooth manifolds with a Finsler distance. The main goal is to show, for certain classes of these spaces, that the horofunction compactification is naturally homeomorphic…

Let $M$ be compact negatively curved manifold, $\Gamma =\pi_1(M)$ and $\tilde{M}$ be its universal cover. Denote by $B =\partial \tilde{M}$ the geodesic boundary of $\tilde{M}$ and by $\nu$ the Patterson-Sullivan measure on $X$. In this…

We develop a new metric and inverse-limit framework for Deaconu-Renault systems arising from local homeomorphisms between open subsets of locally compact zero-dimensional spaces. Our starting point is the Paterson-type compactification of…

We give a new and self-contained proof of a generic version of the (former) Helgason conjecture. It says that for generic spectral parameters the Poisson transform is a topological isomorphism, with the inverse given by a boundary value…

We prove vector-valued boundedness of (suitable) Calderon-Zygmund operators and of the (truncated) Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on a connected locally doubling metric measure space.

The equivariant Gromov--Hausdorff convergence of metric spaces is studied. Where all isometry groups under consideration are compact Lie, it is shown that an upper bound on the dimension of the group guarantees that the convergence is by…

A horoboundary is one of the attempts to compactify metric spaces, and is constructed using continuous functions on metric spaces. It is a concept that includes global information of metric spaces, and its correspondence with an ideal…

Thurston proposed, in part of an unfinished manuscript, to study surface group actions on $S^1$ by using an $S^1$-connection on the suspension bundle obtained from a harmonic measure. Following the approach and previous work of the authors,…

Inspired by the notion of action convergence in graph limit theory, we introduce a measure-theoretic representation of matrices, and we use it to define a new notion of pseudo-metric on the space of matrices. Moreover, we show that such…

Suppose that T_t is a symmetric diffusion semigroup on L^2(X) and consider its tensor product extension to the Bochner space L^p(X,B), where B belongs to a certain broad class of UMD spaces. We prove a vector-valued version of the…

Consider a BV function on a Riemannian manifold. What is its differential? And what about the Hessian of a convex function? These questions have clear answers in terms of (co)vector/matrix valued measures if the manifold is the Euclidean…

We generalize parts of a special non-Euclidean calculus of pseudodifferential operators, which was invented by S. Zelditch for hyperbolic surfaces, to symmetric spaces $X=G/K$ of the noncompact type and their compact quotients…

We introduce a prime end-type theory on complete Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds using horosphere sequences. This allows to introduce a new notion of boundary-new even in the unit disc in the complex space-the horosphere boundary, and a…

In this paper, we consider the flag manifold of $p$ orthogonal subspaces of equal dimension which carries an action of the cyclic group of order $p$. We provide a complete calculation of the associated Fadell-Husseini index. This may be…
