C*-simplicity and the unique trace property for discrete groups

E Breuillard, M Kalantar, M Kennedy… - … mathématiques de l'IHÉS, 2017 - Springer
A discrete group is said to be C*-simple if its reduced C*-algebra is simple, and is said to
have the unique trace property if its reduced C*-algebra has a unique tracial state. A …

[图书][B] Groups of circle diffeomorphisms

A Navas - 2011 - books.google.com
In recent years scholars from a variety of branches of mathematics have made several
significant developments in the theory of group actions. Groups of Circle Diffeomorphisms …

Metric geometry of locally compact groups

Y Cornulier, P de La Harpe - arXiv preprint arXiv:1403.3796, 2014 - arxiv.org
This book offers to study locally compact groups from the point of view of appropriate metrics
that can be defined on them, in other words to study" Infinite groups as geometric objects" …

Poincaré inequalities, embeddings, and wild groups

A Naor, L Silberman - Compositio Mathematica, 2011 - cambridge.org
We present geometric conditions on a metric space (Y, dY) ensuring that, almost surely, any
isometric action on Y by Gromov's expander-based random group has a common fixed …

Isometry groups of non‐positively curved spaces: discrete subgroups

PE Caprace, N Monod - Journal of Topology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We study lattices in non‐positively curved metric spaces. Borel density is established in that
setting as well as a form of Mostow rigidity. A converse to the flat torus theorem is provided …

A variational principle relating self-affine measures to self-affine sets

ID Morris, C Sert - arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.03437, 2023 - arxiv.org
A breakthrough result of B\'ar\'any, Hochman and Rapaport published in 2019 established
that every self-affine measure on $\mathbb {R}^ 2$ satisfying certain mild non-degeneracy …

Entropy of Bernoulli convolutions and uniform exponential growth for linear groups

E Breuillard, PP Varjú - Journal d'Analyse Mathématique, 2020 - Springer
The exponential growth rate of non-polynomially growing subgroups of GLrf is conjectured
to admit a uniform lower bound. This is known for non-amenable subgroups, while for …

Local spectral gap in simple Lie groups and applications

R Boutonnet, A Ioana, AS Golsefidy - Inventiones mathematicae, 2017 - Springer
We introduce a novel notion of local spectral gap for general, possibly infinite, measure
preserving actions. We establish local spectral gap for the left translation action …

The joint spectrum

E Breuillard, C Sert - Journal of the London Mathematical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
We introduce the notion of joint spectrum of a compact set of matrices S⊂ GL d (C), which is
a multi‐dimensional generalization of the joint spectral radius. We begin with a thorough …
