We construct an example of a finitely-generated amenable group that does not admit any coarse 1-Lipschitz embedding with positive compression exponent into L_p for any 1 \leq p < \infty, answering positively a question of Arzhantseva, Guba…

We study the topological complexities of relative entropy zero extensions acted by countableinfinite amenable groups. Firstly, for a given Folner sequence $\{F_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$, we define respectively the relative entropy dimensions and…

For \Gamma a countable amenable group consider those actions of \Gamma as measure-preserving transformations of a standard probability space, written as {T_\gamma}_{\gamma \in \Gamma} acting on (X,{\cal F}, \mu). We say…

We prove that, in a finitely generated residually finite group of subexponential growth, the proportion of commuting pairs is positive if and only if the group is virtually abelian. In particular, this covers the case where the group has…

We construct finitely generated simple algebras with prescribed growth types, which can be arbitrarily taken from a large variety of (super-polynomial) growth types. This (partially) answers a question raised by the author in a recent…

We prove that any finitely generated subgroup of the plane Cremona group consisting only of algebraic elements is of bounded degree. This follows from a more general result on `decent' actions on infinite direct sums. We apply our results…

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 show that any connected algebraic group $G$ over a field admits a nilpotent normal subgroup $Z_\infty(G)$ such that the quotient $G/Z_\infty(G)$ has trivial center. We construct $Z_\infty(G)$ as the final term of the transfinitely…

Let G be an infinite discrete countable amenable group acting continuously on a Lebesgue space X. In this article, using partition and factor-space, the conditional entropy of the action G is defined. We introduction some properties of…

We introduce two notions of algebraic entropy for actions of cancellative right amenable semigroups $S$ on discrete abelian groups $A$ by endomorphisms; these extend the classical algebraic entropy for endomorphisms of abelian groups,…

We prove that every finitely generated soluble group which is not virtually abelian has a subgroup of one of a small number of types.

Let $G$ be a finitely generated amenable group. We study the space of shifts on $G$ over a given finite alphabet $A$. We show that the zero entropy shifts are generic in this space, and that more generally the shifts of entropy $c$ are…

We demonstrate the existence of a family of finitely generated subgroups of Richard Thompson's group $F$ which is strictly well-ordered by the embeddability relation in type $\epsilon_0 +1$. All except the maximum element of this family…

We prove a formula for the sofic entropy of expansive principal algebraic actions of residually finite groups, extending recent work of Deninger and Schmidt.

We announce the folowing result: Any finitely generated non virtually solvable linear group over a field of characteristic zero has uniform exponential growth.

Finding the number of maximal subgroups of infinite index of a finitely generated group is a natural problem that has been solved for several classes of `geometric' groups (linear groups, hyperbolic groups, mapping class groups, etc). Here…

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…

For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…

This paper continues math.GR/0608302's study of amenability of affine algebras (based on the notion of almost-invariant finite-dimensional subspace), and applies it to graded algebras associated with finitely generated groups. Due to a…

This paper studies the locally uniform exponential growth and product set growth for a finitely generated group $G$ acting properly on a finite product of hyperbolic spaces. Under the assumption of coarsely dense orbits or shadowing…
