The purpose of this contribution is to point out connections between recent ideas about gerbes and gerbal actions (as higher categorical extension of representation theory) and old discussion in quantum field theory on commutator anomalies,…
These notes are an introduction to the theory of quantum symmetries of finite and infinite sets, graphs, and locally compact spaces.
We define and study notions of amenability and skew-amenability of continuous actions of topological groups on compact topological spaces. Our main motivation is the question under what conditions amenability of a topological group passes…
In this paper, we construct a semigroup associated to an action of countable discrete group on a compact Hausdorff space, that can be regarded as a higher dimensional generalization of the type semigroup. Using this generalized type…
This paper's major purpose is to continue the work of Zhu and Ma[1]. To begin, the $\mathbf{g}$-almost product property, more general irregular and regular sets, and some new notions of the Banach upper density recurrent points and…
This short survey has been prepared in connection with the workshop on discrete metric spaces and their applications at Princeton, August, 2003, and tries to convey some of the ways that one might look at functions on metric spaces in…
We describe a new construction of a family of measures on a group with the same Poisson boundary. Our approach is based on applying Markov stopping times to an extension of the original random walk.
The homogeneous causal action principle on a compact domain of momentum space is introduced. The connection to causal fermion systems is worked out. Existence and compactness results are reviewed. The Euler-Lagrange equations are derived…
We describe quantizations on monoidal categories of modules over finite groups. They are given by quantizers which are elements of a group algebra. Over the complex numbers we find these explicitly. For modules over S3 and A4 we are given…
Let G be a group and let M be a CAT(0) proper metric space (e.g. a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature or a locally finite tree). Isometric actions of G on M are (by definition) points in the…
We consider the problems of measurable isomorphisms and joinings, measurable centralizers and quotients for certain classes of ergodic group actions on infinite measure spaces. Our main focus is on systems of algebraic origin: actions of…
In this short note we introduce a new metric on certain finite groups. It leads to a class of groups for which the element orders satisfy an interesting inequality. This extends the class CP_2 studied in our previous paper [16].
Mixing for measure-preserving group actions is a fundamental notion in ergodic theory, with different phenomena arising for different acting groups. In 1993, Klaus Schmidt and Tom Ward proved that 2-mixing implies mixing of all orders for…
These notes give an elementary approach to parts of the theory of standard Borel and analytic spaces.
This is an introduction to some recent developments in string theory and M theory. We try to concentrate on the main physical aspects, and often leave more technical details to the original literature.
Based mainly on examples of interest in mechanics, we define the notion of a polite group action. One may view this as not only trying to give a more general notion than properness of a group action, but also to more fully understand the…
Measurements play a crucial role in doing physics: Their results provide the basis on which we adopt or reject physical theories. In this note, we examine the effect of subjecting measurements themselves to our experience. We require that…
The purpose of this book is to lay out certain aspects of descriptive set theory. After initially establishing notation and generalities we proceed to the following topics: partitions, semirings, rings, $\sigma$-rings, $\delta$-rings,…
The group action methods have been playing an important role in recent studies about the configuration problems inside a compact set $E$ in Euclidean spaces with given Hausdorff dimension. In this paper, we further explore the group action…
We give the basic definitions of group actions on (algebraic) stacks, and prove the existence of fixed points and quotients as (algebraic) stacks.
