چکیده

We prove that every asymptotic cone of a mapping class group has a bi-Lipschitz equivariant embedding into a product of real trees, with image a median subspace. We deduce several applications of this, one of which is that a group with Kazhdan’s property (T) can only have finitely many pairwise non-conjugate homomorphisms into a mapping class group.

Embedding Median Algebras in Products of Trees

We show that a metric median algebra satisfying certain conditions admits a bilipschitz embedding into a finite product of R-trees. This gives rise to a characterisation of closed connected subalgebras of finite products of complete R-trees up to bilipschitz equivalence. Spaces of this sort arise as asymptotic cones of coarse median spaces. This applies to a large class of finitely generated gr...

Coarse Median Spaces and Groups

We introduce the notion of a coarse median on a metric space. This satisfies the axioms of a median algebra up to bounded distance. The existence of such a median on a geodesic space is quasi-isometry invariant, and so applies to finitely generated groups via their Cayley graphs. We show that asymptotic cones of such spaces are topological median algebras. We define a notion of rank for a coars...

A Certain Class of Character Module Homomorphisms on Normed Algebras

For two normed algebras $A$ and $B$ with the character space   $bigtriangleup(B)neq emptyset$  and a left $B-$module $X,$  a certain class of bounded linear maps from $A$ into $X$ is introduced. We set $CMH_B(A, X)$  as the set of all non-zero $B-$character module homomorphisms from $A$ into $X$. In the case where $bigtriangleup(B)=lbrace varphirbrace$ then $CMH_B(A, X)bigcup lbrace 0rbrace$ is...

Quasi-homomorphisms on Mapping Class Groups

We refine the construction of quasi-homomorphisms on mapping class groups. It is useful to know that there are unbounded quasihomomorphisms which are bounded when restricted to particular subgroups since then one deduces that the mapping class group is not boundedly generated by these subgroups. In this note we enlarge the class of such subgroups. The generalization is motivated by consideratio...

Homomorphisms on Topological Groups from the Perspective of Bourbaki-boundedness

In this note we study some topological properties of bounded sets and Bourbaki-bounded sets. Also we introduce two types of Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms on topological groups  including, n$-$Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms and$hspace{1mm}$ B$-$Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms. We compare them to each other and with the class of continuous homomorphisms. So, two topologies are presented on them a...
