We introduce and investigate different definitions of effective amenability, in terms of computability of F{\o}lner sets, Reiter functions, and F{\o}lner functions. As a consequence, we prove that recursively presented amenable groups have…

We introduce the notion of tracial amenability for actions of discrete groups on unital, tracial C$^*$-algebras, as a weakening of amenability where all the relevant approximations are done in the uniform trace norm. We characterize tracial…

By classifying $S$-maximal amenable subgroups of algebraic groups over a global field of characteristic zero, we obtain a complete classification of maximal amenable subgroups up to commensurability in the respective arithmetic groups.…

We introduce the notion of groups of polytope class and show that torsion-free amenable groups satisfying the Atiyah Conjecture possess this property. A direct consequence is the homotopy invariance of the $L^2$-torsion polytope among…

In the first part of this paper, we let $G$ be a finitely-generated amenable group such that $G/[G, G]$ is torsion-free. We suppose that $G$ acts by homeomorphisms homotopic to the identity on a manifold $M$, and give conditions on $M$…

In his study of amenable unitary representations, M. E. B. Bekka asked if there is an analogue for such representations of the remarkable fixed-point property for amenable groups. In this paper, we prove such a fixed-point theorem in the…

We show that the Gurarij space $\mathbb{G}$ has extremely amenable automorphism group. This answers a question of Melleray and Tsankov. We also compute the universal minimal flow of the automorphism group of the Poulsen simplex $\mathbb{P}$…

We obtain a complete classification of the continuous unitary representations of oligomorphic permutation groups (those include the infinite permutation group $S_\infty$, the automorphism group of the countable dense linear order, the…

We prove that every linear-activity automaton group is amenable. The proof is based on showing that a sufficiently symmetric random walk on a specially constructed degree 1 automaton group -- the mother group -- has asymptotic entropy 0.…

Let Gamma be a finitely generated, amenable group. Using an idea of E Ghys, we prove that if Gamma has a nontrivial, orientation-preserving action on the real line, then Gamma has an infinite, cyclic quotient. (The converse is obvious.)…

Averaging linear functional on the space continuous functions of the group of diffeomorphisms of interval is found. Amenability of several discrete subgroups of the group of diffeomorphisms $\Diff^3([0,1])$ of interval is prove. In…

We study the automorphism groups of countable homogeneous directed graphs (and some additional homogeneous structures) from the point of view of topological dynamics. We determine precisely which of these automorphism groups are amenable…

We consider a finitely generated group acting minimally on a compact space by homeomorphsims, and assume that the Schreier graph of at least one orbit is quasi-isometric to a line. We show that the topological full group of such an action…

Let $T$ be a locally finite tree all of whose vertices have valency at least $6$. We classify, up to isomorphism, the closed subgroups of $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ acting $2$-transitively on the set of ends of $T$ and whose local action at each…

Recall that a definable group is `definably amenable' if it admits a translation-invariant Keisler measure. We prove a combinatorial characterization of definable amenability for groups definable in NIP theories. More specifically, given a…

We define a strengthening of the Haagerup-Kraus approximation property by means of the subalgebras of Herz-Schur multipliers $M_d(G)$ ($d\geq 2$) introduced by Pisier. We show that unitarisable groups satisfying this property for all $d\geq…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a locally compact $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff ample groupoid on a compact space. In this paper, we further examine the (ubiquitous) fiberwise amenability introduced by the author and Jianchao Wu for $\mathcal{G}$. We…

We prove several theorems relating amenability of groups in various categories (discrete, definable, topological, automorphism group) to model-theoretic invariants (quotients by connected components, Lascar Galois group, G-compactness,…

We introduce an appropriate notion of inner amenability for locally compact quantum groups, study its basic properties, related notions, and examples arising from the bicrossed product construction. We relate these notions to homological…

We study groups which satisfy Gardner's equidecomposition conjecture for uniformly distributed sets. We prove that an amenable group has this property if and only if it does not admit $(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}) *(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$ as…
