We present a new approach to the proof of ergodic theorems for actions of free groups based on geometric covering and asymptotic invariance arguments. Our approach can be viewed as a direct generalization of the classical geometric covering…

We give a shorter proof of a theorem of G. Elek stating that two hyperfinite measure-preserving actions of a countable group on standard probability spaces are approximately conjugate if and only if they have the same invariant random…

We study equivalence relations $\mathcal R(\Gamma\curvearrowright G)$ that arise from left translation actions of countable groups on their profinite completions. Under the assumption that the action $\Gamma\curvearrowright G$ is free and…

It is shown that the restriction of the action of any group with finite orbit on the minimal sets of dendrites is equicontinuous. Consequently, we obtain that the action of any amenable group and Thompson group on dendrite restricted on…

We give a sufficient condition for a countable group $G$ to possess a probability measure $\mu$ that admits a non-trivial $\mu$-boundary modeled in the space $\mathrm{Sub}_{\mathrm{am}}(G)$ of amenable subgroups of $G$. In particular, for…

We prove that for any free ergodic probability measure preserving action \F_n \actson (X,\mu) of a free group on n generators \F_n, 2 \leq n \leq \infty, the associated group measure space II_1 factor $L^\infty(X) \rtimes \F_n$ has…

In this article we study the structure of $\Gamma$-invariant spaces of $L^2(\bf R)$. Here $\bf R$ is a second countable LCA group. The invariance is with respect to the action of $\Gamma$, a non commutative group in the form of a semidirect…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We construct a non-abelian extension $\Gamma$ of $S^1$ by $Z/p \times Z/p$, and prove that any finite subgroup of $\Gamma$ acts freely and smoothly on $S^{2p-1} \times S^{2p-1}$. In particular, for each odd prime…

In \cite{BAMU}, an ergodic theorem \`a la Birkhoff-von Neumann for the action of the fundamental group of a compact negatively curved manifold on the boundary of its universal cover is proved. A quick corollary is the irreducibility of the…

A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…

We show that for any free probability measure-preserving action of $\mathbb{C}^{d}$ on a standard probability space, there exists a Borel entire function $F$ such that the factor map $x \mapsto F_{x}$, where $F_{x}(z) = F(z \cdot x)$, is…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and $X$ be a minimal compact $\Gamma$-space. We assume that the $\Gamma$-action is micro-supported, i.e. for every non-empty open subset $U \subseteq X$, there is an element of $\Gamma$ acting…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group acting on a geodesic hyperbolic metric space $X$ and $\mu$ a probability measure on $\Gamma$ which generates a non elementary semi-group. Under the necessary assumption that $\mu$ has a finite exponential…

We investigate compact quantum group actions on unital $C^*$-algebras by analyzing invariant subsets and invariant states. In particular, we come up with the concept of compact quantum group orbits and use it to show that countable compact…

Kac's lemma determines the expected return time to a set of positive measure under iterations of an ergodic probability preserving transformations. We introduce the notion of an \emph{allocation} for a probability preserving action of a…

Let $G$ be a group acting properly by isometries and with a strongly contracting element on a geodesic metric space. Let $N$ be an infinite normal subgroup of $G$, and let $\delta_N$ and $\delta_G$ be the growth rates of $N$ and $G$ with…

Let (G, X) be a transformation group where the group $G$ does not necessarily act freely on the space X. We investigate the extent to which the action of G may fail to be proper. Stability subgroups are used to define new notions of…

We prove that any II$_1$ factor $L^{\infty}(X)\rtimes\Gamma$ arising from a compact, free, ergodic, probability measure preserving action of a countable group $\Gamma$ with positive first $\ell^2$-Betti number, has a unique group measure…

Let G=SL(n,R) with n>5. We construct examples of lattices Gamma of G, subgroup A of the diagonal group and points x in G/Gamma such that the closure of the orbit Ax is not homogeneous but does not factors through the action of a…

We consider a smooth compact manifold with boundary, $M$, embedded in a smooth manifold of the same dimension on which an amenable group $\Gamma$ acts by isometries. We do not assume $M$ to be invariant under $\Gamma$. This results in a…
