We determine all finite maximal elementary abelian group actions on compact oriented surfaces of genus $\sigma\geq 2$ which are unique up to topological equivalence. For certain special classes of such actions, we determine group extensions…
In this paper we prove a general convergence theorem for almost-additive set functions on unimodular, amenable groups. These mappings take their values in some Banach space. By extending the theory of epsilon-quasi tiling techniques, we set…
We study definably amenable groups in NIP theories, and answer a question of Newelski (and also of Chernikov-Simon), by giving an example in the o-minimal context where weak generic types do not coincide with almost periodic types,…
This paper is devoted to the study of universality for a particular continuous action naturally attached to certain pairs of closed subgroups of $S_{\infty}$. It shows that three new concepts, respectively called relative extreme…
When $G$ is a Polish group, metrizability of the universal minimal flow has been shown to be a robust dividing line in the complexity of the topological dynamics of $G$. We introduce a class of groups, the CAP groups, which provides a neat…
We introduce and investigate different definitions of effective amenability, in terms of computability of F{\o}lner sets, Reiter functions, and F{\o}lner functions. As a consequence, we prove that recursively presented amenable groups have…
We prove that if there are $\mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters then, for every infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^\omega=\kappa$, there exists a group topology on the free Abelian group of cardinality $\kappa$…
The paper deals with the solution of Shevrin ans Sapir problem. Infinite finitely presented nilsemigroup is constructed. The construction is based on aperiodic tilings, Goodman-Strauss type theorems on uniformly elliptic space. Space is…
We introduce the notion of uniform exactness, or uniform amenability at infinity, for discrete groups and prove it for a wide class of groups containing free groups and their limit groups. This shows a novel strong convergence phenomenon…
The dynamics of an inviscid and incompressible fluid flow on a Riemannian manifold is governed by the Euler equations. Recently, Tao launched a programme to address the global existence problem for the Euler and Navier Stokes equations…
We introduce the notion of a contractible subshift. This is a strengthening of the notion of strong irreducibility, where we require that the gluings are given by a block map. We show that a subshift is a retract of a full shift if and only…
We introduce a fairly general concept of functional equation for $k$-tuples of functions $f_1,\dots,f_k\colon X \to Y$ between arbitrary sets. The homomorphy equations for mappings between groups and other algebraic systems, as well as…
We give a short geometric proof of a result of Soardi & Woess and Salvatori that a quasitransitive graph is amenable if and only if its automorphism group is amenable and unimodular. We also strengthen one direction of that result by…
The classification of (proper) compactifications of topological groups with respect to the possibility of extensions of algebraic operations is presented. Ellis' method of construction compactifications of topological groups allows one to…
This paper provides a fixed point theorem and iterative construction of a common fixed point for a general class of nonlinear mappings in the setup of uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces. We translate a multi-step iteration, essentially due…
Carrier graphs of groups representing subgroups of a given relatively hyperbolic groups are introduced and a combination theorem for relatively quasi-convex subgroups is proven. Subsequently a theory of folds for such carrier graphs is…
Different notions of amenability on hypergroups and their relations are studied. Developing Leptin's theorem for discrete hypergroups, we characterize the existence of a bounded approximate identity for hypergroup Fourier algebras. We study…
For $G$ a closed subgroup of $S_{\infty}$, we provide an explicit characterization of the greatest $G$-ambit. Using this, we provide a precise characterization of when $G$ has metrizable universal minimal flow. In particular, each such…
Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the…
We consider interpretable topological spaces and topological groups in a $p$-adically closed field $K$. We identify a special class of "admissible topologies" with topological tameness properties like generic continuity, similar to the…
