We find bounds on the Hilbert space compression of the limit of a directed metric system of groups. We also give estimates on the Hilbert space compression of group extensions of a group $H$ by a a word-hyperbolic group or a group of…

We show that if $G$ and $H$ are finitely generated groups whose Hilbert compression exponent is positive, then so is the Hilbert compression exponent of the wreath $G \wr H$. We also prove an analogous result for coarse embeddings of wreath…

We construct finitely generated groups with arbitrary prescribed Hilbert space compression \alpha from the interval [0,1]. For a large class of Banach spaces E (including all uniformly convex Banach spaces), the E-compression of these…

Given two finitely generated groups that coarsely embed into a Hilbert space, it is known that their wreath product also embeds coarsely into a Hilbert space. We introduce a wreath product construction for general metric spaces X,Y,Z and…

We prove that the properties of acting metrically properly on some space with walls or some CAT(0) cube complex are closed by taking the wreath product with \Z. We also give a lower bound for the (equivariant) Hilbert space compression of…

Let G be a finitely generated group, equipped with the word metric d associated with some finite set of generators. The Hilbert compression exponent of G is the supremum over all $\alpha\ge 0$ such that there exists a Lipschitz mapping…

Given the Hilbert space compression of two groups, we find bounds on the Hilbert space compression of their free product. We also investigate the Hilbert space compression of an HNN-extension of a group relative to a finite normal subgroup…

We investigate how coarse embeddability of box spaces into Hilbert space behaves under group extensions. In particular, we prove a result which implies that a semidirect product of a finitely generated free group by a finitely generated…

We characterize the asymptotic behaviour of the compression associated to a uniform embedding into some Lp-space for a large class of groups including connected Lie groups with exponential growth and word-hyperbolic finitely generated…

For every metric space $\mathcal X$ in which there exists a sequence of finite groups of bounded-size generating set that does not embed coarsely, and for every unbounded, increasing function $\rho$, we produce a group of subexponential…

It is shown that the volume entropy of a Hilbert geometry associated to an $n$-dimensional convex body of class $C^{1,1}$ equals $n-1$. To achieve this result, a new projective invariant of convex bodies, similar to the centro-affine area,…

We prove that for a metric space $X$ and a finite group $G$ acting on $X$ by isometries, if $X$ coarsely embeds into a Hilbert space, then so does the quotient $X/G$. A crucial step towards our main result is to show that for any integer $k…

Since persistence diagrams do not admit an inner product structure, a map into a Hilbert space is needed in order to use kernel methods. It is natural to ask if such maps necessarily distort the metric on persistence diagrams. We show that…

Symmetries impose structure on the Hilbert space of a quantum mechanical model. The mathematical units of this structure are the irreducible representations of symmetry groups and I consider how they function as conceptual units of…

Symmetries of finite Heisenberg groups represent an important tool for the study of deeper structure of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics. This short contribution presents extension of previous investigations to composite quantum systems…

We show that the type function of a space with finite asymptotic dimension estimates its Hilbert (or any $l^p$) compression. The method allows to obtain the lower bound of the compression of the lamplighter group $Z\wr Z$, which has…

A composite quantum system comprising a finite number k of subsystems which are described with position and momentum variables in Z_{n_{i}}, i=1,...,k, is considered. Its Hilbert space is given by a k-fold tensor product of Hilbert spaces…

Given a finite-dimensional inner product space $V$ and a group $G$ of isometries, we consider the problem of embedding the orbit space $V/G$ into a Hilbert space in a way that preserves the quotient metric as well as possible. This inquiry…

We observe that embeddings into random metrics can be fruitfully used to study the $L_1$-embeddability of lamplighter graphs or groups, and more generally lamplighter metric spaces. Once this connection has been established, several new…

A Hilbert space embedding for probability measures has recently been proposed, with applications including dimensionality reduction, homogeneity testing, and independence testing. This embedding represents any probability measure as a mean…
