Diophantine properties of nilpotent Lie groups

A finitely generated subgroup F of a real Lie group G is said to be Diophantine if there is beta > 0 such that non-trivial elements in the word ball B-Gamma(n) centered at 1 is an element of F never approach the identity of G closer than broken vertical ba ...

Distinguished unipotent elements and multiplicity-free subgroups of simple algebraic groups

Donna Testerman, Martin W. Liebeck

For G a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, we determine the irreducible representations ρ:G→I(V), where I(V) denotes one of the classical groups SL(V), Sp(V), SO(V), such that ρ sends some distinguished unipotent ...

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 ...

L-2-Betti numbers and Plancherel measure

Henrik Densing Petersen, Alain Valette

We compute L-2-Betti numbers of postliminal, locally compact, unimodular groups in terms of ordinary dimensions of reduced cohomology with coefficients in irreducible unitary representations and the Plancherel measure. This allows us to compute the L-2-Bet ...

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 ...

Normal generation of locally compact groups

Nicolas Monod, Amichai Netanel Eisenmann

It is a well-known open problem since the 1970s whether a finitely generated perfect group can be normally generated by a single element or not. We prove that the topological version of this problem has an affirmative answer as long as we exclude infinite ...

Non-Supramenable Groups Acting On Locally Compact Spaces

Nicolas Monod, Julian Kellerhals

Supramenability of groups is characterised in terms of invariant measures on locally compact spaces. This opens the door to constructing interesting crossed product C*-algebras for non-supramenable groups. In particular, stable Kirchberg algebras in the UC ...

Cantor systems, piecewise translations and simple amenable groups

Nicolas Monod

We provide the first examples of finitely generated simple groups that are amenable (and infinite). This follows from a general existence result on invariant states for piecewise-translations of the integers. The states are obtained by constructing a suita ...

Dirac Optimal Reduction

Tudor Ratiu, Madeleine Jotz

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the (Poisson) Optimal Reduction Theorem in Ortega and Ratiu [Momentum Maps and Hamiltonian Reduction. Progress in Mathematics 222. Boston, MA: Birkhauser. xxxiv, 497pp., 2004] to general proper Lie group actions o ...

L-2-Betti numbers of locally compact groups

Henrik Densing Petersen

The present paper is a summary and overview of results obtained in the author's thesis, "L-2-Betti Numbers of Locally Compact Groups", wherein the definition of L-2-Betti numbers for countable groups is extended to locally compact unimodular groups. In man ...
