The subject of this thesis lies in the intersection of differential geometry and functional analysis, a domain usually called global analysis. A central object in this work is the group Ds(M) of all orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of a compact manif ...

Let A be a C*-algebra, and let X be a Banach A-bimodule. Johnson [B. E. Johnson, 'Local derivations on C*-algebras are derivations', Trans. Amer Math. Soc. 353 (2000), 313-325] showed that local derivations from A into X are derivations. We extend this con ...
A. Baker has constructed certain sequences of cohomology theories which interpolate between the Johnson-Wilson and the Morava K-theories. We realize the representing sequences of spectra as sequences of MU-algebras. Starting with the fact that the spectra ...
We establish the vanishing for non-trivial unitary representations of the bounded cohomology of SLd up to degree d-1. It holds more generally for uniformly bounded representations on superreflexive spaces. The same results are obtained for lattices. We als ...
A selection of aspects of the theory of bounded cohomology is presented. The emphasis is on questions motivating the use of that theory as well as on some concrete issues sugested by its study. Specific topics include rigidity, bounds on characteristic cla ...
We establish new results and introduce new methods in the theory of measurable orbit equivalence. Our rigidity statements hold for a wide (uncountable) class of negatively curved groups. Amongst our applications are (a) measurable Mostow-type rigidity theo ...
This paper describes a two-sweep control design method to stabilize the acrobot, an input-affine under-actuated system, at the upper equilibrium point. In the forward sweep, the system is successively reduced, one dimension at a time, until a two-dimensiona ...

We introduce new techniques to extend superrigidity theory beyond the scope of Lie or algebraic groups. We construct a cohomological invariant which accounts for, and generalizes, all known superrigidity results for actions on negatively curved spaces. Tog ...

We prove that for all local fields SLn is stable over n in terms of continuous bounded cohomology. We complement this by various computations in low degree, showing notably the vanishing of the third bounded cohomology of SLn(R) for all n. We link the corr ...

A note presenting a selection of results that are elaborated upon in Cocycle superrigidity and bounded cohomology for negatively curved spaces and Orbit equivalence rigidity and bounded cohomology. Proofs are given for illustrative "toy-cases". ...
