We conduct a systematic study of traces on locally compact groups, in particular traces on their universal and reduced C*-algebras. We introduce the trace kernel, and examine its relation to the von Neumann kernel and to small-invariant…

The classical theorem of Weitzenboeck states that the algebra of invariants of a single unipotent transformation $g$ in $GL_m(K)$ acting on the polynomial algebra $K[x_1,...,x_m]$ over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 is finitely generated.…

Let A be a locally compact abelian group, and H a locally compact group acting on A. Let G=HA be the semidirect product. We prove that the pair (G,A) has Kazhdan's Property T if and only if the only countably approximable H-invariant mean…

We show that Property $\mathrm{(TTT)}$ is an obstruction to weak amenability with Cowling--Haagerup constant $1$. More precisely, if $G$ is a countable group and $H$ is an infinite subgroup of $G$ such that the pair $(G,H)$ has relative…

We consider a proper parabolic subalgebra p of a simple Lie algebra g and the Inonu-Wigner contraction of p with respect to its decomposition into its standard Levi factor and its nilpotent radical : this is the Lie algebra which is…

In 2022, using methods from ergodic theory, Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson resolved a longstanding conjecture of Erd\H{o}s about sumsets in large subsets of the natural numbers. In this paper, we extend this result to several…

Given a finite simplicial graph ${\cal G}$, the graph group $G{\cal G}$" is the group with generators in one-to-one correspondence with the vertices of ${\cal G}$ and with relations stating two generators commute if their associated…

Let $G$ be a closed permutation group on a countably infinite set $\Omega$, which acts transitively but not highly transitively. If $G$ is oligomorphic, has no algebraicity and weakly eliminates imaginaries, we prove that any probability…

In this paper we give a strict classification of $ \mathbb{G}_{a} $-representations. This is done through the notion of a $ c(t) $-pair. Namely if $ \operatorname{Spec}(A) $ is a $ \mathbb{G}_{a} $-variety with action $ \beta $, then a $…

A Lie group G is called a trace class group if for every irreducible unitary representation R of G and every C-infinity function f with compact support the operator R(f) is of trace class. In this note we prove that the semidirect product…

A probability-measure-preserving transformation has the Weak Pinsker Property (WPP) if for every $\epsilon>0$ it is measurably conjugate to the direct product of a transformation with entropy $<\epsilon$ and a Bernoulli shift. In a recent…

A continuous action of a group G on a compact metric space has sensitive dependence on initial conditions if there is a number e>0 such that for any open set U we can find g in G such that g.U has diameter greater than e. We prove that if a…

In this paper, for a smooth variety equiped with an action of a connected algebraic group (not necessary linear), we introduce the notion of invariant Brauer sub-group and the notion of invariant \'etale Brauer-Manin obstruction. Then we…

We study different pointwise recurrence notions for linear dynamical systems from the Ergodic Theory point of view. We show that from any reiteratively recurrent vector $x_0$, for an adjoint operator $T$ on a separable dual Banach space…

Given a space $X$, a $\sigma$-algebra $\mathfrak{B}$ on $X$ and a measurable map $T:X \to X$, we say that a measure $\mu$ is half-invariant if, for any $B \in \mathfrak{B}$, we have $\mu(T^{-1}(B)\leq \mu (B)$. In this note we present a…

To prove that a measure, linearly representable by means of a finite set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal M$, has the weak-Gibbs property, one check the uniform convergence (on $\mathcal M^\mathbb N$) of the sequence of vectors…

In this paper we use the theory of $\epsilon$-constants associated to tame finite group actions on arithmetic surfaces to define a Brauer group invariant $\mu(\X,G,V)$ associated to certain symplectic motives of weight one. We then discuss…

We compute the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariants $\Sigma^1$ for the generalized solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $\Gamma_n$ and their finite index subgroups. Using $\Sigma^1$, we show that certain finite index subgroups of $\Gamma_n$ cannot…

We consider compact group actions on C*- and W*- algebras. We prove results that relate the duality property of the action (as defined in the Introduction) with other relevant properties of the system such as the relative commutant of the…

For a connected simply connected semisimple algebraic group $G$ we prove existence of invariant tensors in tensor powers of rational $G$-modules and establish relations between existence of such invariant tensors and stability of diagonal…
