We investigate the second principal term in the expansion of metrics $c(n)t^{(n+2)/2}g_t$ induced by heat kernel embedding into $L^2$ on a compact $RCD(K, N)$ space. We prove that the divergence free property of this term in the weak,…

We define the isoperimetric constant for any locally finite metric space and we study the property of having isoperimetric constant equal to zero. This property, called Small Neighborhood property, clearly extends amenability to any locally…

We undertake a comprehensive study of measure equivalence between general locally compact, second countable groups, providing operator algebraic and ergodic theoretic reformulations, and complete the classification of amenable groups within…

In this paper, we mainly discuss some generalized metric properties and the character of the free paratopological groups, and extend several results valid for free topological groups to free paratopological groups.

We show that for every integer $d$, there is a constant $N(d)$ such that if $K$ is any field and $F$ is a finite subset of $GL_d(K)$, which generates a non amenable subgroup, then $F^{N(d)}$ contains two elements, which freely generate a…

This article explores the interplay between the finite quotients of finitely generated residually finite groups and the concept of amenability. We construct a finitely generated, residually finite, amenable group $A$ and an uncountable…

We approach the study of sub-von Neumann algebras of the group von Neumann algebra $L\Gamma$ for countable groups $\Gamma$ from a dynamical perspective. It is shown that $L(\Gamma)$ admits a maximal invariant amenable subalgebra. The notion…

This paper gives a free entropy theoretic perspective on amenable absorption results for free products of tracial von Neumann algebras. In particular, we give the first free entropy proof of Popa's famous result that the generator MASA in a…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional simply connected manifold of pinched sectional curvature $-a^2 \leq K \leq -1$. There exist a positive constant $C(n,a)$ such that for any finitely generated discrete group $\Gamma$ acting on $X$, then either…

We consider the logic space of countable (enumerated) groups and show that closed subspaces corresponding to some standard classes of groups have (do not have) generic groups. We also discuss the cases of semigroups and associative rings.

For a countable abelian group $G$ we investigate generic properties of the space of all invariant metrics on $G$. We prove that for every such an unbounded group $G$, i.e. group which has elements of arbitrarily high order, there is a dense…

Given a locally finite graph $\Gamma$, an amenable subgroup $G$ of graph automorphisms acting freely and almost transitively on its vertices, and a $G$-invariant activity function $\lambda$, consider the free energy $f_G(\Gamma,\lambda)$ of…

Following the general principles of noncommutative geometry, it is possible to define a metric on the space of pure states of the noncommutative algebra generated by the coordinates. This metric generalizes the usual Riemannian one. We…

I. M. Chiswell has asked whether every group that admits a free isometric action (without inversions) on a $\Lambda$-tree is orderable. We give an example of a multiple HNN extension $\Gamma$ which acts freely on a $\mathbb{Z}^2$-tree but…

We construct examples of weighted algebras $L_p^w(G)$ with $1<p\le 2$ on uncountable free groups. For $p>2$ no weighted algebras exist on these groups. From the other side, we prove that an amenable group on which exist weighted algebras…

We prove that, if a discrete group $G$ is not inner amenable, then the unit group of the ring of operators affiliated with the group von Neumann algebra of $G$ is non-amenable with respect to the topology generated by its rank metric. This…

We investigate the notions of amenability and its related homological notions for a class of $I\times I$-upper triangular matrix algebra, say $UP(I,A)$, where $A$ is a Banach algebra equipped with a non-zero character. We show that…

In this paper we prove that the automorphism groups of certain countable generic structures are not amenable. For doing that, we first prove the existence of particular matrices that do not satisfy the convex Ramsey condition. For a pair of…

For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…

Richard Thompson's group F is the group of piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the unit interval with a finite number of break points, all at dyadic rational numbers (their denominators are powers of 2) and with slopes which are powers of 2.…
