Replacing configurations of points by configurations of tubular neighbourhoods (or discs) in a manifold, we are able to define a natural scanning map that is equivariant under the action of the diffeomorphism group of the manifold. We also…

We investigate unitarisability of groups by looking at actions on the cone of positive invertible operators of a Hilbert space. This way, we give a geometric prove to a result by Gilles Pisier on the existence of some universal constants…

We continue our study of the mapping ideal of operator $p$-compact maps, previously introduced by the authors. Our approach embraces a more geometric perspective, delving into the interplay between operator $p$-compact mappings and matrix…

We develop a semigroup approach to representation theory for pro-Lie groups satisfying suitable amenability conditions. As an application of our approach, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of unitary…

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…

We introduce computable projection operators onto piecewise polynomial spaces, defined via sampling and discrete least-squares polynomial approximations. The resulting mappings exhibit (almost) optimal approximation properties in $L^2$ and…

The classification of separable operator spaces and systems is commonly believed to be intractable. We analyze this belief from the point of view of Borel complexity theory. On one hand we confirm that the classification problems for…

In this paper we study analogues of amenability for topological groups in the context of definable structures. We prove fixed point theorems for such groups. More importantly, we propose definitions for definable actions and continuous…

We determine when a quasi-isometry between discrete spaces is at bounded distance from a bilipschitz map. From this we prove a geometric version of the Von Neumann conjecture on amenability. We also get some examples in geometric groups…

Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…

Convex sets of completely positive maps and positive semidefinite kernels are considered in the most general context of modules over $C^*$-algebras and a complete charaterization of their extreme points is obtained. As a byproduct, we…

We give a characterization of the compact operators on a model space in terms of asymptotic Toeplitz operators.

We use the theory of abstract Wiener spaces to construct a probabilistic model for Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on a complete Hermitian complex manifold endowed with a positive line bundle. We associate to a function with compact support…

We present a new approach to the amenability of groupoids (both in the measure theoretical and the topological setups) based on using Markov operators. We introduce the notion of an invariant Markov operator on a groupoid and show that the…

The study of open quantum systems relies on the notion of unital completely positive semigroups on $C^*$-algebras representing physical systems. The natural generalisation would be to consider the unital completely positive semigroups on…

We study computable topological spaces and semicomputable and computable sets in these spaces. In particular, we investigate conditions under which semicomputable sets are computable. We prove that a semicomputable compact manifold $M$ is…

A map between operator spaces is called completely coarse if the sequence of its amplifications is equi-coarse. We prove that all completely coarse maps must be $\mathbb R$-linear. On the opposite direction of this result, we introduce a…

We study expansive dynamical systems from the viewpoint of general topology. We introduce the notions of orbit and refinement expansivity on topological spaces extending expansivity in the compact metric setting. Examples are given on…

In this paper we prove a general convergence theorem for almost-additive set functions on unimodular, amenable groups. These mappings take their values in some Banach space. By extending the theory of epsilon-quasi tiling techniques, we set…
