Coherent actions by homeomorphisms on the real line or an interval

We study actions of groups by orientation preserving homeomorphisms on R (or an interval) that are minimal, have solvable germs at +/-infinity and contain a pair of elements of a certain dynamical type. We call such actions coherent. We establish that such ...

Group Approximation in Cayley Topology and Coarse Geometry, Part II: Fibred Coarse Embeddings

Masato Mimura

The objective of this series is to study metric geometric properties of disjoint unions of Cayley graphs of amenable groups by group properties of the Cayley accumulation points in the space of marked groups. In this Part II, we prove that a disjoint union ...

The cup product of Brooks quasimorphisms

Nicolas Monod

We prove the vanishing of the cup product of the bounded cohomology classes associated to any two Brooks quasimorphisms on the free group. This is a consequence of the vanishing of the square of a universal class for tree automorphism groups. ...

An indiscrete Bieberbach theorem: from amenable CAT$(0)$ groups to Tits buildings

Nicolas Monod

Non-positively curved spaces admitting a cocompact isometric action of an amenable group are investigated. A classification is established under the assumption that there is no global fixed point at infinity under the full isometry group. The visual bounda ...

AN OBSTRUCTION TO l(p)-DIMENSION

Nicolas Monod, Henrik Densing Petersen

Let G be any group containing an infinite elementary amenable subgroup and let 2 < p < infinity. We construct an exhaustion of l(p) G by closed invariant subspaces which all intersect trivially a fixed non-trivial closed invariant subspace. This is an obst ...

Fixed points and amenability in non-positive curvature

Nicolas Monod

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the torsion-free case. We est ...

Moyennabilité et courbure

Martin Anderegg

As Avez showed (in 1970), the fundamental group of a compact Riemannian manifold of nonpositive sectional curvature has exponential growth if and only if it is not flat. After several generalizations from Gromov, Zimmer, Anderson, Burger and Shroeder, the ...

Iterated monodromy groups of quadratic polynomials, I

We describe the iterated monodromy groups associated with post-critically finite quadratic polynomials, and make explicit their connection to the 'kneading sequence' of the polynomial. ...

Equivariant embeddings of trees into hyperbolic spaces

Nicolas Monod

We study isometric actions of tree automorphism groups on the infinite-dimensional hyperbolic spaces. On the one hand, we exhibit a general one-parameter family of such representations and analyse the corresponding equivariant embeddings of the trees, show ...
