For a selfadjoint element x in a tracial von Neumann algebra and $\alpha = \delta_0(x)$ we compute bounds for $\mathbb H^{\alpha}(x),$ where $\mathbb H^{\alpha}(x)$ is the free Hausdorff $\alpha$-entropy of $x.$ The bounds are in terms of…

We exhibit infinite, solvable, virtually abelian groups with a fixed number of generators, having arbitrarily large balls consisting of torsion elements. We also provide a sequence of 3-generator non-virtually nilpotent polycyclic groups of…

We prove that Kleinian groups whose limit sets are Cantor sets of Hausdorff dimension $<1$ are free. On the other hand we construct for any $\epsilon>0$ examples of non-free purely hyperbolic Kleinian groups whose limit set is a Cantor set…

Let $G$ be a finite group and construct a graph $\Delta(G)$ by taking $G\setminus\{1\}$ as the vertex set of $\Delta(G)$ and by drawing an edge between two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Let $K(G)$ be the set…

We construct groups G that are virtually torsion-free and have virtual cohomological dimension strictly less than the minimal dimension for any model for the classifying space for proper actions of G. They are the first examples that have…

We show that for almost any vector $v$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, for any $\epsilon>0$ there exists $\delta>0$ such that the dimension of the set of vectors $w$ satisfying $\liminf_{k\to\infty} k^{1/n}<kv-w> \ge \epsilon$ (where $<\cdot>$ denotes…

Let $\Gamma$ be a torsion free discrete group acting cocompactly on a two dimensional euclidean building $\Delta$. The centralizer of an element of $\Gamma$ is either a Bieberbach group or is described by a finite graph of finite cyclic…

We introduce "embedding dimensions" of a family of generators of a finite von Neumann algebra when the von Neumann algebra can be faithfully embedded into the ultrapower of the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor. These embedding dimensions are von…

The neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the few phenomena, belonging to the non-standard physics, which is extensively being sought for in experiments. In the present paper the link between the half-life of the neutrinoless double beta…

We give a partial answer to the question for the precise value of the nuclear dimension of UCT-Kirchberg algebras raised by W. Winter and J. Zacharias. It is shown that every Kirchberg algebra in the UCT-class with torsion free $K_1$-group…

In this note we give an upper bound for the virtually cyclic dimension of any normally poly-free group in terms of its length. In particular, this implies that virtually even Artin groups of FC-type admit a finite dimensional model for the…

We prove that Z-stable, simple, separable, nuclear, non-unital C*-algebras have nuclear dimension at most 1. This completes the equivalence between finite nuclear dimension and Z-stability for simple, separable, nuclear, non-elementary…

The purpose of this note is to introduce a trick which relates the (non)-vanishing of the top-dimensional $\ell^2$-Betti numbers of actions with that of sub-actions. We provide three different types of applications: we prove that the…

Let $D$ be a $p$-divisible group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $n_D$ be the smallest non-negative integer such that $D$ is determined by $D[p^{n_D}]$ within the class of $p$-divisible groups over $k$ of…

Let G be an amenable group and V be a finite dimensional vector space. Gromov pointed out that the von Neumann dimension of linear subspaces of l^2(G;V) (with respect to G) can be obtained by looking at a growth factor for a dynamical…

In this paper we give a closed formula for the graded dimension of the cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebra $R^\Lambda(\beta)$ associated to an {\it arbitrary} symmetrizable Cartan matrix $A=(a_{ij})_{i,j}\in I$, where $\Lambda\in P^+$ and…

Let $\pi$ be a finite dimensional unitary representation of a group $G$ with a generating symmetric $n$-element set $S\subset G$. Fix $\vp>0$. Assume that the spectrum of $|S|^{-1}\sum_{s\in S} \pi(s) \otimes \overline{\pi(s)}$ is included…

We study properties of the realizations of groups as the combinatorial automorphism group of a convex polytope. We show that for any non-abelian group $G$ with a central involution there is a centrally symmetric polytope with $G$ as its…

Let G be a compact connected Lie group with trivial center. Using the action of G on its Lie algebra, we define an operator norm | |_{G} which induces a bi-invariant metric d_G(x,y)=|Ad(yx^{-1})|_{G} on G. We prove the existence of a…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a finite non-abelian group $G$ and $g \in G$. Let $Z(H, G) = \{x \in H : xy = yx, \forall y \in G\}$. We introduce the graph $\Delta_{H, G}^g$ whose vertex set is $G \setminus Z(H, G)$ and two distinct vertices $x$…
