We initiate a systematic investigation of group actions on compact medain algebras via the corresponding dynamics on their spaces of measures. We show that a probability measure which is invariant under a natural push forward operation must…
We introduce and study the notions of boundary actions and of the Furstenberg boundary of a discrete quantum group. As for classical groups, properties of boundary actions turn out to encode significant properties of the operator algebras…
In this paper we study random walks on a finitely generated group $G$ which has a free action on a $\mathbb{Z}^n$-tree. We show that if $G$ is non-abelian and acts minimally, freely and without inversions on a locally finite…
We develop a relative boundary theory for actions of discrete groups on compact spaces and use it to derive rigidity results for reduced crossed products. For a discrete group $\Gamma$ acting on a compact space $X$ and a subgroup $H$, we…
Poisson boundary is a measurable $\Gamma$-space canonically associated with a group $\Gamma$ and a probability measure $\mu$ on it. The collection of all measurable $\Gamma$-equivariant quotients, known as $\mu$-boundaries, of the Poisson…
We show under weak hypotheses that $\partial X$, the Roller boundary of a finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex $X$ is the Furstenberg-Poisson boundary of a sufficiently nice random walk on an acting group $\Gamma$. In particular, we show…
We compute the K-theory of a collection of C*-algebras, which we refer to as boundary C*-algebras, arising as the crossed product C*-algebras of lattice actions on the maximal Furstenberg boundaries of symmetric spaces of noncompact type.…
We define the Furstenberg boundary of a locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid, generalising the Furstenberg boundary for discrete groups, by providing a construction of a groupoid-equivariant injective envelope. Using this injective…
We extend applications of Furstenberg boundary theory to the study of $C^*$-algebras associated to minimal actions $\Gamma\!\curvearrowright\! X$ of discrete groups $\Gamma$ on locally compact spaces $X$. We introduce boundary maps on…
In this paper we introduce for a group $G$ the notion of ultralimit of measure class preserving actions of it, and show that its Furstenberg-Poisson boundaries can be obtained as an ultralimit of actions on itself, when equipped with…
Furstenberg has associated to every topological group $G$ a universal boundary $\partial(G)$. If we consider in addition a subgroup $H<G$, the relative notion of $(G,H)$-boundaries admits again a maximal object $\partial(G,H)$. In the case…
For a discrete group G, we consider the minimal C*-subalgebra of $\ell^\infty(G)$ that arises as the image of a unital positive G-equivariant projection. This algebra always exists and is unique up to isomorphism. It is trivial if and only…
We describe the envelope C*-algebra associated to a partial action of a countable discrete group on a locally compact space as a groupoid C*-algebra (more precisely as a C*-algebra from an equivalence relation) and we use our approach to…
We introduce and study a generalization of the notion of the Furstenberg boundary of a discrete group $\Gamma$ to the setting of a general unitary representation $\pi: \Gamma \to B(\mathcal H_\pi)$. This space, which we call the…
Let $\Gamma$ be a non-elementary hyperbolic group and $\mu$ be a probability on $\Gamma$. We study the $\mu$-proximal, stationary actions, also known as boundary actions, of $\Gamma$. In particular, we are interested in the spectrum of…
For a countable discrete group {\Gamma} and a minimal {\Gamma}-space X, we study the notion of ({\Gamma}, X)-boundary, which is a natural generalization of the notion of topological {\Gamma}-boundary in the sense of Furstenberg. We give…
Let G be a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center and without compact factors, P a minimal parabolic subgroup of G, and \Gamma a lattice in G. We prove that every \Gamma-orbits in the Furstenberg boundary G/P is equidistributed…
We consider spatial discretizations by the finite section method of the restricted group algebra of a finitely generated discrete group, which is represented as a concrete operator algebra via its left-regular representation. Special…
To every $C^*$ correspondence over a $C^*$-algebra one can associate a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra generalizing crossed product constructions, graph $C^*$-algebras, and a host of other classes of operator algebras. Cuntz-Pimsner algebras come…
We survey some of the progress made recently in the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their measure preserving actions on probability spaces. We emphasize results which provide classes of…
