To a large class of graphs of groups we associate a C*-algebra universal for generators and relations. We show that this C*-algebra is stably isomorphic to the crossed product induced from the action of the fundamental group of the graph of…
A (non-commutative) Ulam quasimorphism is a map $q$ from a group $\Gamma$ to a topological group $G$ such that $q(xy)q(y)^{-1}q(x)^{-1}$ belongs to a fixed compact subset of $G$. Generalizing the construction of Barge and Ghys, we build a…
In the article a technique of the usage of $f$-continuous functions (on mappings) and their families is developed. A proof of the Urysohn's Lemma for mappings is presented and a variant of the Brouwer-Tietze-Urysohn Extension Theorem for…
In this paper, we discuss characterizations of common fixed points of commutative semigroups of nonexpansive mappings. We next prove convergence theorems to a common fixed point. We finally discuss nonexpansive retractions onto the set of…
The semidirect product of a finitely generated group dual with the symmetric group can be described through so-called group-theoretical categories of partitions (covers only a special case; due to Raum--Weber, 2015) and skew categories of…
For a self mapping $f:\mathbb{D}\to \mathbb{D}$ of the unit disk in $\mathbb{C}$ which has finite distortion, we give a separation condition on the components of the set where the distortion is large - say greater than a given constant -…
In this paper, the first of a series of two, we continue the study of higher index theory for expanders. We prove that if a sequence of graphs is an expander and the girth of the graphs tends to infinity, then the coarse Baum-Connes…
It is shown that any finitely generated non-elementary Fuchsian group has among its homomorphic images all but finitely many of the alternating groups. This settles in the affirmative a conjecture of Graham Higman.
Tukia and Vaisala showed that every quasi-conformal map of $\R^n$ extends to a quasi-conformal self-map of $\R^{n+1}$. The restriction of the extended map to the upper half-space $\R^n \times \R^+$ is, in fact, bi-Lipschitz with respect to…
We investigate the relationship between one of the classical notions of boundaries for infinite graphs, \emph{graph ends}, and self-adjoint extensions of the minimal Kirchhoff Laplacian on a metric graph. We introduce the notion of…
We show that contracting self-similar groups satisfy the Farrell-Jones conjectures as soon as their universal contracting cover is non-positively curved. This applies in particular to bounded self-similar groups. We define, along the way, a…
Given a Hermitian vector bundle over an infinite weighted graph, we define the Laplacian associated to a unitary connection on this bundle and study the essential self-adjointness of a perturbation of this Laplacian by an operator-valued…
A boundary behavior of ring mappings on Riemannian manifolds, which are generalization of quasiconformal mappings by Gehring, is investigated. In terms of prime ends, there are obtained theorems about continuous extension to a boundary of…
We obtain some general restrictions on the continuous endomorphisms of a profinite group G under the assumption that G has only finitely many open subgroups of each index (an assumption which automatically holds, for instance, if G is…
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…
In this article, we study acylindrical graphs of groups, local quasiconvexity, and Cannon-Thurston maps in the setting of totally disconnected locally compact (TDLC) hyperbolic groups, extending several fundamental notions and results from…
We extend applications of Furstenberg boundary theory to the study of $C^*$-algebras associated to minimal actions $\Gamma\!\curvearrowright\! X$ of discrete groups $\Gamma$ on locally compact spaces $X$. We introduce boundary maps on…
Benjamini and Schramm introduced the notion of distributional limit of a sequence of graphs with uniformly bounded valence and studied such limits in the case that the involved graphs are planar. We investigate distributional limits of…
We show that random Cayley graphs of finite simple (or semisimple) groups of Lie type of fixed rank are expanders. The proofs are based on the Bourgain-Gamburd method and on the main result of our companion paper, establishing strongly…
We extend the theory of regularity structures [Hai14] to allow processes belonging to locally $m$-convex topological algebras. This extension includes processes in the locally $C^{*}$-algebras of [CHP25] used to localise singular stochastic…
