Free actions of free groups on countable structures and property (T)

David M. Evans, Todor Tsankov (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that if G is a non-archimedean, Roelcke precompact Polish group, then G has Kazhdan's property (T). Moreover, if G has a smallest open subgroup of finite index, then G has a finite Kazhdan set. Examples of such G include automorphism groups of countable ω-categorical structures, that is, the closed, oligomorphic permutation groups on a countable set. The proof uses work of the second author on the unitary representations of such groups, together with a separation result for infinite permutation...

Free non-archimedean topological groups

Michael Megrelishvili, Menachem Shlossberg (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We study free topological groups defined over uniform spaces in some subclasses of the class 𝐍𝐀 of non-archimedean groups. Our descriptions of the corresponding topologies show that for metrizable uniformities the corresponding free balanced, free abelian and free Boolean 𝐍𝐀 groups are also metrizable. Graev type ultra-metrics determine the corresponding free topologies. Such results are in a striking contrast with free balanced and free abelian topological groups cases (in standard varieties). Another...

Frequency functions on the Heisenberg group, the uncertainty principle and unique continuation

Nicola Garofalo, Ermanno Lanconelli (1990)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

A recent result of Bahouri shows that continuation from an open set fails in general for solutions of u = V u where V C and = j = 1 N - 1 X j 2 is a (nonelliptic) operator in R N satisfying Hörmander’s condition for hypoellipticity. In this paper we study the model case when is the subelliptic Laplacian on the Heisenberg group and V is a zero order term which is allowed to be unbounded. We provide a sufficient condition, involving a first order differential inequality, for nontrivial solutions of u = V u to have a finite order...

From double Lie groups to quantum groups

Piotr Stachura (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is shown, using geometric methods, that there is a C*-algebraic quantum group related to any double Lie group (also known as a matched pair of Lie groups or a bicrossproduct Lie group). An algebra underlying this quantum group is the algebra of a differential groupoid naturally associated with the double Lie group.

Front d'onde et propagation des singularités pour un vecteur-distribution

Dominique Manchon (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We define the wave front set of a distribution vector of a unitary representation in terms of pseudo-differential-like operators [M2] for any real Lie group G. This refines the notion of wave front set of a representation introduced by R. Howe [Hw]. We give as an application a necessary condition so that a distribution vector remains a distribution vector for the restriction of the representation to a closed subgroup H, and we give a propagation of singularities theorem for distribution vectors.
