Let S be a subsemigroup of an abelian torsion-free group G. If S is a positive cone of G, then all C*-algebras generated by faithful isometrical non-unitary representations of S are canonically isomorphic. Proved by Murphy, this statement…

If $G$ is a group acting geometrically on a CAT(0) cube complex $X$ and if $g \in G$ is an infinite-order element, we show that exactly one of the following situations occurs: (i) $g$ defines a rank-one isometry of $X$; (ii) the stable…

Lineability is a property enjoyed by some subsets within a vector space X. A subset A of X is called lineable whenever A contains, except for zero, an infinite dimensional vector subspace. If, additionally, X is endowed with richer…

We introduce the notion of uniform exactness, or uniform amenability at infinity, for discrete groups and prove it for a wide class of groups containing free groups and their limit groups. This shows a novel strong convergence phenomenon…

An explicitly covariant formalism for dealing with Bargmann-Wigner fields is developed. An invariance of the Barmann-Wigner norm can be proved in a unified way for both massive and massless fields. It is shown that there exists some freedom…

We prove that if a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ is {\it w-rigid}, i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup $H$ with the relative property (T) (e.g. $\Gamma= SL(2,\Bbb Z) \ltimes \Bbb Z^2$, or $\Gamma = H \times H'$ with $H$ an…

The Dold$-$Thom theorem states that for a sufficiently nice topological space, M, there is an isomorphism between the homotopy groups of the infinite symmetric product of M and the homology groups of M itself. The crux of most known proofs…

We introduce a method to study C*-algebras possessing an action of the circle group, from the point of view of its internal structure and its K-theory. Under relatively mild conditions our structure Theorem shows that any C*-algebra, where…

The equivariant coarse Novikov conjecture provides an algorithm for determining nonvanishing of equivariant higher index of elliptic differential operators on noncompact manifolds. In this article, we prove the equivariant coarse Novikov…

In "A new proof of the completeness of the Lukasiewicz axioms"} (Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 88) C.C. Chang proved that any totally ordered $MV$-algebra $A$ was isomorphic to the segment $A \cong \Gamma(A^*, u)$ of a…

The solubility graph $\Gamma_S(G)$ associated with a finite group $G$ is a simple graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$, and there is an edge between two distinct vertices if and only if they generate a soluble subgroup. In this…

Let $G$ be a right-angled Artin group with $|\mathrm{Out}(G)|<+\infty$. We prove that if a countable group $H$ with bounded torsion is measure equivalent to $G$, with an $L^1$-integrable measure equivalence cocycle towards $G$, then $H$ is…

Let $M$ be a maximal subgroup of a finite group $G$ and $K/L$ be a chief factor such that $L\leq M$ while $K\nsubseteq M$. We call the group $M\cap K/L$ a $c$\ns section of $M$. And we define $Sec(M)$ to be the abstract group that is…

We introduce a notion of c-group, which is a group up to congruence relation and consider the corresponding category. Extensions, actions and crossed modules (c-crossed modules) are defined in this category and the semi-direct product is…

Inspired by Kerr's work on topological dynamics, we define tracial $\mathcal{Z}$-stability for sub-$C^*$-algebras. We prove that for a countable discrete amenable group $G$ acting freely and minimally on a compact metrizable space $X$,…

Given a $\Gamma$-semigroup $S$, we construct a semigroup $\Sigma$ in such a way that one sided ideals and quasi-ideals of $S$ can be regarded as one sided ideals and quasi-ideals respectively of $\Sigma$. This correspondence and other…

We derive the Pimsner-Voiculescu sequence calculating the K-theory of a $C^{*}$- algebra with $\mathbb{Z}$-action using constructions with equivariant coarse K-homology theory. We then investigate to which extend this idea extends to more…

Let $V$ be a connected $3$-dimensional handlebody of finite genus at least $3$. We prove that the handlebody group $\mathrm{Mod}(V)$ is superrigid for measure equivalence, i.e. every countable group which is measure equivalent to…

Gallagher's ergodic theorem is a result in metric number theory. It states that the approximation of real numbers by rational numbers obeys a striking 'all or nothing' behaviour. We discuss a formalisation of this result in the Lean theorem…

We prove several results of the following type: given finite dimensional normed space V possessing certain geometric property there exists another space X having the same property and such that (1) log (dim X) = O(log (dim V)) and (2) every…
