Isomorphism invariants for actions of sofic groups
For every countable group G, a family of isomorphism invariants for measurepreserving G-actions on probability spaces is defined. In the special case in which G is a countable sofic group, a special class of these invariants are computed exactly for Bernoulli systems over G. This leads to a complete classification of Bernoulli systems for many countable groups including all finitely generated l...
متن کاملCocompact Proper CAT(0) Spaces
This paper is about geometric and topological properties of a proper CAT(0) spaceX which is cocompact i.e. which has a compact generating domain with respect to the full isometry group. It is shown that geodesic segments in X can “almost” be extended to geodesic rays. A basic ingredient of the proof of this geometric statement is the topological theorem that there is a top dimension d in which ...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Criterion for proper actions on homogeneous spaces of reductive groups
Let M be a manifold, on which a real reductive Lie group G acts transitively. The action of a discrete subgroup Γ on M is not always properly discontinuous. In this paper, we give a criterion for properly discontinuous actions, which generalizes our previous work [6] for an analogous problem in the continuous setting. Furthermore, we introduce the discontinuous dual t(H:G) of a subset H of G , ...
متن کاملClassifying Spaces for Proper Actions of Mapping Class Groups
We describe a construction of cocompact models for the classifying spaces EΓ g,r , where Γ g,r stands for the mapping class group of an oriented surface of genus g with r boundary components and s punctures. Our construction uses a cocompact model for EΓ g,0 as an input, a case which has been dealt with in [3]. We then proceed by induction on r and s.
