We investigate the asymptotic structure of (possibly type III) crossed product von Neumann algebras $M = B \rtimes \Gamma$ arising from arbitrary actions $\Gamma \curvearrowright B$ of bi-exact discrete groups (e.g. free groups) on amenable…

We prove that if $G$ is a countable discrete group with property (T) over an infinite subgroup $H<G$ which contains an infinite Abelian subgroup or is normal, then $G$ has continuum many orbit inequivalent measure preserving a.e. free…

We consider a countable discrete group $G$ acting ergodicaly and a.e. freely, by measure-preserving transformations, on an infinite measure space $(\mathcal X,\nu)$ with $\sigma$-finite measure $\nu$. Let $\Gamma \subseteq G$ be an almost…

We show that every non-amenable free product of groups admits free ergodic probability measure preserving actions which have relative property (T) in the sense of S.-Popa \cite[Def. 4.1]{Pop06}. There are uncountably many such actions up to…

We show that countable non-abelian free groups admit uncountably many mutually singular elementwise conservative non-singular random subgroups, which are supported on infinite subgroups of infinite index and singular with respect to every…

The equivalence (or weak equivalence) classes of orientation-preserving free actions of a finite group G on an orientable 3-dimensional handlebody of genus g can be enumerated in terms of sets of generators of G. They correspond to the…

We prove that non-abelian free groups of finite rank at least 3 or of countable rank are not $\forall$-homogeneous. We answer three open questions from Kharlampovich, Myasnikov, and Sklinos regarding whether free groups, finitely generated…

This paper is motivated by the study of probability measure-preserving (pmp) actions of free groups using continuous model theory. Such an action is treated as a metric structure that consists of the measure algebra of the probability…

We generalize the notion of isoperimetric profiles of finitely generated groups to their actions by measuring the boundary of finite subgraphings of the orbit graphing. We prove that like the classical isoperimetric profiles for groups,…

We give a simple and explicit proof that the free group $\mathbb{F}_2$ admits a measure equivalence embedding into any nonamenable locally compact second countable (lcsc) group $G$. We use this to prove that every nonamenable lcsc group $G$…

We prove pointwise and maximal ergodic theorems for probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) actions of any countable group, provided it admits an essentially free, weakly mixing amenable action of stable type $III_1$. We show that this…

We prove that for every $N\ge 3$, the group $\mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ of outer automorphisms of a free group of rank $N$ is superrigid from the point of view of measure equivalence: any countable group that is measure equivalent to…

Consider two free measure preserving group actions $\Gamma \actson (X, \mu), \Delta \actson (X, \mu)$, and a measure preserving action $\Delta \actson^a (Z, \nu)$ where $(X, \mu), (Z, \nu)$ are standard probability spaces. We show how to…

Ab\'ert-Weiss have shown that the Bernoulli shift s of a countably infinite group \Gamma is weakly contained in any free measure preserving action (mpa) b of \Gamma. We establish a strong version of this result, conjectured by Ioana, by…

A measure preserving action of a countably infinite group \Gamma is called totally ergodic if every infinite subgroup of \Gamma acts ergodically. For example, all mixing and mildly mixing actions are totally ergodic. This note shows that if…

The von Neumann algebra free product of arbitary finite dimensional von Neumann algebras with respect to arbitrary faithful states, at least one of which is not a trace, is found to be a type~III factor possibly direct sum a finite…

We study the basic ergodic properties (ergodicity and conservativity) of the action of an arbitrary subgroup $H$ of a free group $F$ on the boundary $\partial F$ with respect to the uniform measure. Our approach is geometrical and…

Classical ergodic theory for integer-group actions uses entropy as a complete invariant for isomorphism of IID (independent, identically distributed) processes (a.k.a. product measures). This theory holds for amenable groups as well.…

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 extend results of R. Holley beyond the integer lattice to a large class of groups which includes free groups. In particular we show that a shift-invariant measure is Gibbs if and only if it is Glauber-invariant. Moreover, any…
