We generalize the notion of isoperimetric profiles of finitely generated groups to their actions by measuring the boundary of finite subgraphings of the orbit graphing. We prove that like the classical isoperimetric profiles for groups,…
We give examples of principal algebraic actions of the noncommutative free group $F$ of rank two, as well as other groups, by automorphisms of a connected compact abelian group for which there is an explicit measurable isomorphism to a…
We show that for a finitely generated group of $C^2$ circle diffeomorphisms, the entropy of the action equals the entropy of the restriction of the action to the non-wandering set.
We prove that, if a discrete group $G$ is not inner amenable, then the unit group of the ring of operators affiliated with the group von Neumann algebra of $G$ is non-amenable with respect to the topology generated by its rank metric. This…
The new notion of adjoint algebraic entropy of endomorphisms of Abelian groups is introduced. Various examples and basic properties are provided. It is proved that the adjoint algebraic entropy of an endomorphism equals the algebraic…
Given a separable metrisable space X, and a group G of homeomorphisms of X, we introduce a topological property of the action of G on X which is equivalent to the existence of a G-invariant compatible metric on X. This extends a result of…
In this note we study some properties of topological entropy for non-compact non-metrizable spaces. We prove that if a uniformly continuous self-map $f$ of a uniform space has topological shadowing property then the map $f$ has positive…
A natural topology on the space of left orderings of an arbitrary semi-group is introduced. It is proved that this space is compact and that for free abelian groups it is homeomorphic to the Cantor set. An application of this result is a…
We provide a definition of a $\prec$-asymptotic pair in a topological action of a countable group $G$, where $\prec$ is an order on $G$ of type $\mathbb Z$. We then prove that if $G$ is a countable amenable group and $(X,G)$ is a…
We prove a quantitative version of the classical Tits' alternative for discrete groups acting on packed Gromov-hyperbolic spaces supporting a convex geodesic bicombing. Some geometric consequences, as uniform estimates on systole, diastole,…
We provide a unifying approach which links results on algebraic actions by Lind and Schmidt, Chung and Li, and a topological result by Meyerovitch that relates entropy to the set of asymptotic pairs. In order to do this we introduce a…
We show that any action of a finite group on a finitely presentable group arises as the action of the group of self-homotopy equivalences of a space on its fundamental group. In doing so, we prove that any finite connected (abstract)…
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…
We introduce inner amenability for discrete p.m.p. groupoids and investigate its basic properties, examples, and the connection with central sequences in the full group of the groupoid or central sequences in the von Neumann algebra…
We prove that on a metrizable, compact, zero-dimensional space every free action of an amenable group is measurably isomorphic to a minimal $G$-action with the same, i.e. affinely homeomorphic, simplex of measures.
v2: An additional assumption was added in Theorem 4.8. In order to show that a connected abelian group is admissible on the site of locally compact spaces we must in addition assume that it is locally topologically divisible. This condition…
We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…
We show that amenability of a group acting by homeomorphisms can be deduced from a certain local property of the action and recurrency of the orbital Schreier graphs. This covers amenability of a wide class groups, the amenability of which…
We prove that the amalgamated free product of two free groups of rank two over a common cyclic subgroup, admits an amenable, faithful, transitive action on an infinite countable set. We also show that any finite index subgroup admits such…
Let $G$ be a countable discrete amenable group which acts continuously on a compact metric space $X$ and let $\mu$ be an ergodic $G-$invariant Borel probability measure on $X$. For a fixed tempered F{\o}lner sequence $\{F_n\}$ in $G$ with…
