In this paper we complete in several aspects the picture of locally compact quantum groups. First of all we give a definition of a locally compact quantum group in the von Neumann algebraic setting and show how to deduce from it a…

A locally compact group $G$ is said to have shifted convolution property (abbr. as SCP) if for every regular Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $G$, either $\sup_{x\in G} \mu ^n (Cx) \ra 0$ for all compact subsets $C$ of $G$, or there exist…

We introduce a notion of I-factorial quantum torsor, which consists of an integrable ergodic action of a locally compact quantum group on a type I-factor such that also the crossed product is a type I-factor. We show that any such…

We study universal properties of locally compact G-spaces for countable infinite groups G. In particular we consider open invariant subsets of the \beta-compactification of G (which is a G-space in a natural way), and their minimal closed…

We prove that for any free ergodic probability measure preserving action \F_n \actson (X,\mu) of a free group on n generators \F_n, 2 \leq n \leq \infty, the associated group measure space II_1 factor $L^\infty(X) \rtimes \F_n$ has…

We consider cross-product II$_1$ factors $M = N\rtimes_{\sigma} G$, with $G$ discrete ICC groups that contain infinite normal subgroups with the relative property (T) and $\sigma: G \to {\text{\rm Aut}}N$ trace preserving actions of $G$ on…

In this article, we generalize to the case of measured quantum groupoids on a finite basis some important results concerning actions of locally compact quantum groups on C*-algebras [S. Baaj, G. Skandalis and S. Vaes, 2003]. Let $\cal G$ be…

We study II_1 factors M and N associated with good generalized Bernoulli actions of groups having an infinite almost normal subgroup with the relative property (T). We prove the following rigidity result: every finite index M-N-bimodule (in…

If a compact quantum group acts faithfully and smoothly (in the sense of Goswami 2009) on a smooth, compact, oriented, connected Riemannian manifold such that the action induces a natural bimodule morphism on the module of sections of the…

We prove the first rigidity and classification theorems for crossed product von Neumann algebras given by actions of non-discrete, locally compact groups. We prove that for arbitrary free probability measure preserving actions of connected…

In this paper, first we obtain an explicit formula for an outer commutator multiplier of nilpotent products of cyclic groups with respect to the variety $[\mathfrak{N}_{c_1},\mathfrak{N}_{c_2}]$, $\mathfrak{N}_{c}M(\mathbb{Z}\st{n}*…

We consider the class of countable groups possessing an action on a finite product of hyperbolic graphs where every infinite order element acts loxodromically. When the graphs are locally finite, we obtain strong structure theorems for the…

By an additive action on a hypersurface H in the projective space P^{n+1} we mean an effective action of a commutative unipotent group on P^{n+1} which leaves H invariant and acts on H with an open orbit. Brendan Hassett and Yuri Tschinkel…

Given an action of a group $G$ by automorphisms on an infinite relational structure $\mathcal{M}$, we say that the action is structurally sharply $k$-transitive if, for any two $k$-tuples $\bar{a}, \bar{b} \in M^k$ of distinct elements such…

We show that a regular locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ is discrete if and only if $L^\infty(\mathbb{G})$ contains non-zero compact operators on $L^2(\mathbb{G})$. As a corollary we classify all discrete quantum groups among…

Given a group acting cellularly and cocompactly on a simply-connected 2-complex, we provide a criterion establishing that all finitely generated subgroups have quasiconvex orbits. This work generalizes the "perimeter method". As an…

A generalization of the Auslander conjecture is proved in the case when the Levi factor of the Zariski closure of the acting group is a product of simple real algebraic groups of rank \leq 1. Also, the Auslander conjecture is proved for…

A hyperfinite $II_1$ subfactor may be obtained from a symmetric commuting square via iteration of the basic construction. For certain commuting squares constructed from Hadamard matrices, we describe this subfactor as a group-type inclusion…

It is well-known that no non-Kac compact quantum group can faithfully act on $C(X)$ for a classical, compact Hausdorff space $X$. However, in this article we show that this is no longer true if we go to non-compact spaces and non-compact…

An action of a group $G$ is highly transitive if $G$ acts transitively on $k$-tuples of distinct points for all $k \geq 1$. Many examples of groups with a rich geometric or dynamical action admit highly transitive actions. We prove that if…
