We prove that the product of any two infinite countable groups has fixed price one. This resolves a longstanding problem posed by Gaboriau. The proof uses the propagation method to construct a Poisson horoball process as a weak limit of a…
Let $G$ be a locally compact, second countable, unimodular group that is nondiscrete and noncompact. We explore the theory of invariant point processes on $G$. We show that every free probability measure preserving (pmp) action of $G$ can…
Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…
We establish general criteria for a countable group $\Gamma$ to have fixed price 1 depending on a choice of left-invariant proper metric on $\Gamma$. We apply this criterion to show that if $\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2$ are two countable groups…
Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, when p is a good prime, we give a new proof of the ``order formula'' of D. Testerman…
Let $G$ be a higher rank semisimple real Lie group or the product of at least two automorphism groups of regular trees. We prove all probability measure preserving actions of lattices in such groups have cost one, answering Gaboriau's fixed…
It is proved that the reduced group C*-algebra C*_{red}(G) has stable rank one (i.e. its group of invertible elements is a dense subset) if G is a discrete group arising as a free product G_1*G_2 where |G_1|>=2 and |G_2|>=3. This follows…
This is the second installment of an exposition of an ACL2 formalization of finite group theory. The first, which was presented at the 2022 ACL2 workshop, covered groups and subgroups, cosets, normal subgroups, and quotient groups,…
We prove that every countably infinite group with Kazhdan's property (T) has cost 1, answering a well-known question of Gaboriau. It remains open if they have fixed price 1.
Motivated from one-dimensional rigidity results of entire solutions to Liouville equation, we consider the semilinear equation \begin{align} \label{liouvilleequationab} \Delta u=G(u) \quad \mbox{in $\mathbb{R}^n$}, \end{align}where $G>0,…
In 2001 Liebeck and Pyber showed that a finite simple group of Lie type is a product of $ 25 $ carefully chosen unipotent Sylow subgroups. Later, in a series of works it was shown that $ 4 $ unipotent Sylow subgroups suffice. We prove that…
In this second part we prove that, if $G$ is one of the groups $\mathrm{PSL}_2(q)$ with $q>5$ and $q\equiv 5\pmod {24}$ or $q\equiv 13 \pmod{24}$, then the fundamental group of every acyclic $2$-dimensional, fixed point free and finite…
In this paper, we examine Lie group actions on moduli spaces (sets themselves built as quotients by group actions) and their fixed points. We show that when the Lie group is compact and connected, we obtain a linear constraint. This…
Kida and Tucker-Drob recently extended the notion of inner amenability from countable groups to discrete p.m.p. groupoids. In this article, we show that inner amenable groupoids have "fixed priced 1" in the sense that every principal…
We provide a new type of proof for known or new Gohberg lemmas for pseudodifferential operators on Abelian locally compact groups $\mathrm{X}$. We use $C^*$-algebraic techniques, which also give spectral results to which the Gohberg lemma…
Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over the algebraic closure of $GF(p)$ ($p$ prime), and let $G(q)$ denote a corresponding finite group of Lie type over $GF(q)$, where $q$ is a power of $p$. Let $X$ be an irreducible subvariety of $G^r$…
Let $\rho\colon G\to \mathrm{GL}_2(K)$ be a continuous representation of a compact group $G$ over a complete discretely valued field $K$, with ring of integers $\mathcal O$ and uniformiser $\pi$. We prove that $\operatorname{tr}\rho$ is…
Let G be a locally compact Hausdorff group in which every element is of finite order, and let P(G) denote the class of all regular probability measures on G. In this note, it is observed that a characterization of algebraically regular…
We prove that if $G$ is a finite simple group of Lie type and $S_1,\dots, S_k$ are subsets of $G$ satisfying $\prod_{i=1}^k|S_i|\geq|G|^c$ for some $c$ depending only on the rank of $G$, then there exist elements $g_1,\dots, g_k$ such that…
We study actions of countable discrete groups which are amenable in the sense that there exists a mean on X which is invariant under the action of G. Assuming that G is nonamenable, we obtain structural results for the stabilizer subgroups…
