In this paper, among other things, we state and prove the mean ergodic theorem for amenable semigroup algebras.

The aim of this paper is to prove ergodic decomposition theorems for probability measures quasi-invariant under Borel actions of inductively compact groups (Theorem 1) as well as for sigma-finite invariant measures (Corollary 1). For…

Under suitable hypotheses we establish a quantitative pointwise ergodic theorem which applies to trimmed Birkhoff sums of weakly integrable functions.

This is an account of one man's view of the current perspective of theory of topological groups. We survey some recent developments which are, from our viewpoint, indicative of the future directions, concentrating on actions of topological…

We give a survey of various recent developments in orbit equivalence and measured group theory. This subject aims at studying infinite countable groups through their measure preserving actions.

We consider the actions of (semi)groups on a locally compact group by automorphisms. We show the equivalence of distality and pointwise distality for the actions of a certain class of groups. We also show that a compactly generated locally…

We show slow convergence of weighted ergodic averages for flows and actions of countable amenable groups.

In this note we show existence of bounded, transitive cocycles over a transitive action of a finitely generated group, and bounded, ergodic cocycles over an ergodic, probability preserving action of $\Bbb Z^d$.

The purpose of this survey is to describe how locally compact groups can be studied as geometric objects. We will emphasize the main ideas and skip or just sketch most proofs, often referring the reader to our much more detailed book…

The main aim of the present set of notes is to give new, short and essentially self-contained proofs of some classical, as well as more recent, results about random walks on groups. For instance, we shall see that the drift characterization…

Some basic notions and results in Topological Dynamics are extended to continuous groupoid actions in topological spaces. We focus mainly on recurrence properties. Besides results that are analogous to the classical case of group actions,…

This paper resolves the question of pointwise convergence for ergodic averages of a single function along the set of polynomial values of primes of the form $x^2 + ny^2$. Following the influential paper of Bourgain…

We prove a weak form of the mean ergodic theorem for actions of amenable locally compact quantum groups in the von Neumann algebra setting.

We study weighted ensemble, an interacting particle method for sampling distributions of Markov chains that has been used in computational chemistry since the 1990s. Many important applications of weighted ensemble require the computation…

This text is the preprint version of the concluding chapter for the book New Directions in Locally Compact Groups published by Cambridge University Press in the series Lecture Notes of the LMS. The recent progress on locally compact groups…

The aim of this article is to prove that the Torelli group action on the G-character varieties is ergodic for G a connected, semi-simple and compact Lie group.

Let $\Gamma$ be a countably infinite group. A common theme in ergodic theory is to start with a probability measure-preserving (p.m.p.) action $\Gamma \curvearrowright (X, \mu)$ and a map $f \in L^1(X, \mu)$, and to compare the global…

We prove a generalization of the orthogonality relations of Duflo and Moore for ergodic, trace-preserving group actions on von Neumann algebras that are integrable in a suitable sense. We also obtain convolution inequalities that generalize…

These notes are a self-contained introduction to the use of dynamical and probabilistic methods in the study of hyperbolic groups. Most of this material is standard; however some of the proofs given are new, and some results are proved in…

We consider groups of piecewise-projective homeomorphisms of the line which are known to be non-amenable using notably the Carriere--Ghys theorem on ergodic equivalence relations. Replacing that theorem by an explicit fixed-point argument,…
