A general overview of the phenomenon of automatic continuity of homomorphisms between Polish groups is given. In particular, we study variants and improvements of the closed graph theorem, applying these to the problem of continuity of…
We study skew-amenable topological groups, i.e., those admitting a left-invariant mean on the space of bounded real-valued functions left-uniformly continuous in the sense of Bourbaki. We prove characterizations of skew-amenability for…
We characterize the ``best'' model geometries for the class of virtually free groups, and we show that there is a countable infinity of distinct ``best'' model geometries in an appropriate sense--these are the maximally symmetric trees. The…
We give a new proof of the universal property of $KK^G$-theory with respect to stability, homotopy invariance and split-exactness for $G$ a locally compact group, or a locally compact (not necessarily Hausdorff) groupoid, or a countable…
In this paper we study a natural decomposition of $G$-equivariant $K$-theory of a proper $G$-space, when $G$ is a Lie group with a compact normal subgroup $A$ acting trivially. Our decomposition could be understood as a generalization of…
We show an equivariant Kirchberg-Phillips-type absorption theorem for pointwise outer actions of discrete amenable groups on Kirchberg algebras with respect to natural model actions on the Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_\infty$ and…
We propose a simple abstract version of Calderon--Zygmund theory, which is applicable to spaces with exponential volume growth, and then show that amenable Lie groups can be treated within this framework.
Regular algebraic $K$-theory for groups is a homology theory for discrete groups closely connected (but different from) group homology. It also gives a version of algebraic $K$-theory for rings by the simple functorial mapping assigning to…
We develop a method for proving the Boone--Higman Conjecture for groups acting on locally finite trees. As a consequence, we prove the Boone--Higman Conjecture for all Baumslag--Solitar groups and for all free(finite rank)-by-cyclic groups,…
Generalizing Block and Weinberger's characterization of amenability we introduce the notion of uniformly finite homology for a group action on a compact space and use it to give a homological characterization of topological amenability for…
We survey recent work, published since 2015, on equivariant Oka theory. The main results described in the survey are as follows. Homotopy principles for equivariant isomorphisms of Stein manifolds on which a reductive complex Lie group $G$…
We provide a new characterization of amenability for countable groups, based on frame representations admitting almost invariant vectors. By relaxing the frame inequalities, thereby weakening amenability, we obtain a large class of…
We survey results from amenability theory with an emphasis on applications to harmonic analysis on direct-limit groups.
We introduce a class of spaces, called real cubings, and study the stucture of groups acting nicely on these spaces. Just as cubings are a natural generalisation of simplicial trees, real cubings can be regarded as a natural generalisation…
We note a characterization of the amenability of unitary representations (in the sense of Bekka) via the existence of an orthonormal basis supporting an invariant probability charge. Based on this, we explore several natural notions of…
Local actions (actions of a vertex stabiliser on the neighbours of that vertex) have become an important approach to group actions on trees since J. Tits' introduction in 1970 of the independence property (P) and especially since a 2000…
The K-theoretic Farrell-Jones isomorphism conjecture for a group ring $R[G]$ has been proved for several groups. The toolbox for proving the Farrell-Jones conjecture for a given group depends on some geometric properties of the group as it…
We study a notion of deformation for simplicial trees with group actions (G-trees). Here G is a fixed, arbitrary group. Two G-trees are related by a deformation if there is a finite sequence of collapse and expansion moves joining them. We…
We develop equivariant KK-theory for locally compact groupoid actions by Morita equivalences on real and complex graded C*-algebras. Functoriality with respect to generalised morphisms and Bott periodicity are discussed. We introduce…
Let G be a compact Lie-group, X a compact G-CW-complex. We define equivariant geometric K-homology groups K^G_*(X), using an obvious equivariant version of the (M,E,f)-picture of Baum-Douglas for K-homology. We define explicit natural…
