We use $\mathrm{C}^{\ast}$-algebra ultrapowers to give a new construction of the Stone-Cech compactification of a separable, locally compact space. We use this construction to give a new proof of the fact that groups that act isometrically,…
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 show that topological amenability of an action of a countable discrete group on a compact space is equivalent to the existence of an invariant mean for the action. We prove also that this is equivalent to vanishing of bounded cohomology…
In the paper the \v{C}ech border homology and cohomology groups of closed pairs of normal spaces are constructed and investigated. These groups give intrinsic characterizations of \v{C}ech homology and cohomology groups based on finite open…
Given a discrete group $G$, we identify the Stone-$\check C$ech compactification $\beta G$ with the set of all ultrafilters on $G$ and put $G^\ast =\beta G\setminus G$. The action $G$ on $G$ by the conjugations $(g,x)\mapsto g^{-1}xg$…
We investigate some properties of the clopen type semigroup of an action of a countable group on a compact, $0$-dimensional, Hausdorff space X. We discuss some characterizations of dynamical comparison (most of which were already known in…
We prove that the action of the automorphism group of a building on its boundary is topologically amenable. The notion of boundary we use was defined in a previous paper \cite{CL}. It follows from this result that such groups have property…
We introduce and study various notions of amenability continuous (Borel) partial actions of locally compact (Borel) groups $G$ on topological (standard Borel) spaces. We also study amenability of partial representations of a locally compact…
Group actions on a Smale space and the actions induced on the C*-algebras associated to such a dynamical system are studied. We show that an effective action of a discrete group on a mixing Smale space produces a strongly outer action on…
It is proved that a discrete group G is exact if and only if its left translation action on the Stone-Cech compactification is amenable. Combining this with an unpublished result of Gromov, we have the existence of non exact discrete…
By analogy with the construction of the Furstenberg boundary, the Stone-{\v C}ech boundary of $\SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ is a fibered space over products of projective matrices. The proximal behaviour on this space is exploited to show that the…
Amenable actions of locally compact groups on von Neumann algebras are investigated by exploiting the natural module structure of the crossed product over the Fourier algebra of the acting group. The resulting characterisation of…
We prove a number of results linking properties of actions by compact groups (both quantum and classical) on Banach spaces, such as uniform continuity, spectrum finiteness and extensibility of the actions across several constructions.…
It is shown that the action of ${\rm SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})$ on the Stone-\u{C}ech boundary of ${\rm SL}(3,\mathbb{Z}) / {\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}) $ is amenable. This confirms a prediction by Bekka and Kalantar.
In this work we introduce and study a new notion of amenability for actions of locally compact groups on $C^*$-algebras. Our definition extends the definition of amenability for actions of discrete groups due to Claire…
We associate a boundary $\mathcal B_{\pi,u}$ to each covariant representation $(\pi,u,H)$ of $C^*$-dynamical system $(G,A,\alpha)$ and study the action of $G$ on $\mathcal B_{\pi,u}$ and its amenability properties. We relate rigidity…
Actions of finite groups on stable curves are studied. They appear naturally at the boundary of a moduli space of smooth curves with group actions. Those actions which can equivariantly smoothed are characterised. A description of…
We introduce and study certain topological spaces associated with connected rooted graphs. These spaces reflect combinatorial and order theoretic properties of the underlying graph and relate in the case of hyperbolic graphs to Gromov's…
For a topological group $G$, amenability can be characterized by the amenability of the convolution Banach algebra $L^1(G)$. Here a Banach algebra $A$ is called amenable if every bounded derivation from $A$ into any dual--type…
We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…
