On derivations and crossed homomorphisms

Viktor Losert (2010)

Banach Center Publications

We discuss some results about derivations and crossed homomorphisms arising in the context of locally compact groups and their group algebras, in particular, L¹(G), the von Neumann algebra VN(G) and actions of G on related algebras. We answer a question of Dales, Ghahramani, Grønbæk, showing that L¹(G) is always permanently weakly amenable. Then we show that for some classes of groups (e.g. IN-groups) the homology of L¹(G) with coefficients in VN(G) is trivial. But this is no longer true, in general,...

On extendability of invariant distributions

Bogdan Ziemian (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

In this paper sufficient conditions are given in order that every distribution invariant under a Lie group extend from the set of orbits of maximal dimension to the whole of the space. It is shown that these conditions are satisfied for the n-point action of the pure Lorentz group and for a standard action of the Lorentz group of arbitrary signature.

On the algebraic structure of the unitary group.

Éric Ricard, Christian Rosendal (2007)

Collectanea Mathematica

We consider the unitary group U of complex, separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space as a discrete group. It is proved that, whenever U acts by isometries on a metric space, every orbit is bounded. Equivalently, U is not the union of a countable chain of proper subgroups, and whenever E ⊆ U generates U, it does so by words of a fixed finite length.

On the rigidity of webs

Michel Belliart (2007)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Plane d -webs have been studied a lot since their appearance at the turn of the 20th century. A rather recent and striking result for them is the theorem of Dufour, stating that the measurable conjugacies between 3-webs have to be analytic. Here, we show that even the set-theoretic conjugacies between two d -webs, d 3 are analytic unless both webs are analytically parallelizable. Between two set-theoretically conjugate parallelizable d -webs, however, there always exists a nonmeasurable conjugacy; still,...
