We give a new formulation of some of our recent results on the following problem: if all uniformly bounded representations on a discrete group $G$ are similar to unitary ones, is the group amenable? In \S 5, we give a new proof of…

We provide polynomial lower bounds for residual finiteness of residually finite, finitely generated solvable groups that admit infinite order elements in the Fitting subgroup of strict distortion at least exponential. For this class of…

We prove that if $A$ is a non-separable abelian tracial von Neuman algebra then its free powers $A^{*n}, 2\leq n \leq \infty$, are mutually non-isomorphic and with trivial fundamental group, $\mathcal F(A^{*n})=1$, whenever $2\leq…

The question of when the derived category of a ring satisfies Brown--Adams representability is revisited via studying the transfer of pure homological dimension along definable functors: it is shown that, for any ring, the pure global…

We show that every normal amenable subgroup of the automorphism group of the full shift is contained in its center. This follows from the analysis of this group's Furstenberg topological boundary, through the construction of a minimal and…

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the property of order separability for HNN extensions and free products with commutative subgroups. Particularly it was proven that HNN extension of a free group with maximal connected cyclic…

In this note we give a new proof of the fact that an elementary subgroup (in the sense of first-order theory) of a non abelian free group $\mathbb{F}$ must be a free factor. The proof is based on definability of orbits of elements of under…

In this paper we analyze the structure of some sets of non-commutative moments of elements in a finite von Neumann algebra M. If the fundamental group of M is R_+\{0}, then the moment sets are convex, and if M is isomorphic to M tensor M,…

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.…

It is proved that any countable topological group in which the filter of neighborhoods of the identity element is not rapid contains a discrete set with precisely one nonisolated point. This gives a negative answer to Protasov's question on…

In 1985 S.~Saeki and K.~Stromberg published the following question: {\it Does every infinite compact group have a subgroup which is not Haar measurable?} An affirmative answer is given for all compact groups with the exception of some…

We give a complete answer to the questions of factoriality, type classification and fullness for arbitrary free product von Neumann algebras.

Using techniques at the intersection of deformation/rigidity theory, geometric group theory, and the theory of $C^*$-algebras, we construct a continuum of nonamenable groups $G$ that can be completely reconstructed from their reduced…

We study analogues of the radial subalgebras in free group factors (called the algebras of class functions) in the setting of compact quantum groups. For the free orthogonal quantum groups we show that they are not MASAs, as soon as we are…

In this paper we want to apply the notion of product between ultrafilters to answer several questions which arise around the Connes' embedding problem. For instance, we will give a simplification and generalization of a theorem by…

Measure Equivalence (ME) is the measure theoretic counterpart of quasi-isometry. This field grew considerably during the last years, developing tools to distinguish between different ME classes of countable groups. On the other hand,…

Let G be the free product of groups A and B with commuting subgroups H \leqslant A and K \leqslant B, and let C be the class of all finite groups or the class of all finite p-groups. We derive the description of all C-separable cyclic…

We prove a noncommutative Bader-Shalom factor theorem for lattices with dense projections in product groups. As an application of this result and our previous works, we obtain a noncommutative Margulis factor theorem for all irreducible…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated skew field over a ground field $k$, and let $G$ be a finite group of $k$-linear automorphisms of $M$. This paper investigates finite generation of the skew subfield $M^G$ of $G$-invariants in $M$, and…

We survey solvability of equations in wreath products of groups, and prove that the quadratic diophantine problem is solvable in wreath products of Abelian groups. We consider the related question of determining commutator width, and prove…
