Invariant measures on the space of horofunctions of a word hyperbolic group

چکیده

We introduce a natural equivalence relation on the space H0 of horofunctions of a word hyperbolic group that take the value 0 at the identity. We show that there are only finitely many ergodic measures that are invariant under this relation. This can be viewed as a discrete analog of the Bowen-Marcus theorem. Furthermore, if η is such a measure and G acts on a space (X,μ) by p.m.p. transformations then η×μ is virtually ergodic with respect to a natural equivalence relation on H0 ×X. This is comparable to a special case of the Howe-Moore theorem. These results are applied to prove a new ergodic theorem for spherical averages in the case of a word hyperbolic group acting on a finite space.

Flows and joins of metric spaces

We introduce the functor ◦∗ which assigns to every metric space X its symmetric join ◦∗X . As a set, ◦∗X is a union of intervals connecting ordered pairs of points in X . Topologically, ◦∗X is a natural quotient of the usual join of X with itself. We define an Isom(X)–invariant metric d∗ on ◦∗X . Classical concepts known for H and negatively curved manifolds are defined in a precise way for any...

SEMIGROUP ACTIONS , WEAK ALMOST PERIODICITY, AND INVARIANT MEANS

Let S be a topological semigroup acting on a topological space X. We develop the theory of (weakly) almost periodic functions on X, with respect to S, and form the (weakly) almost periodic compactifications of X and S, with respect to each other. We then consider the notion of an action of Son a Banach space, and on its dual, and after defining S-invariant means for such a space, we give a...

An Extension of Poincare Model of Hyperbolic Geometry with Gyrovector Space Approach

‎The aim of this paper is to show the importance of analytic hyperbolic geometry introduced in [9]‎. ‎In [1]‎, ‎Ungar and Chen showed that the algebra of the group $SL(2,mathbb C)$ naturally leads to the notion of gyrogroups ‎and gyrovector spaces for dealing with the Lorentz group and its ‎underlying hyperbolic geometry‎. ‎They defined the Chen addition and then Chen model of hyperbolic geomet...

Shift Invariant Spaces and Shift Preserving Operators on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

We investigate shift invariant subspaces of $L^2(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact abelian group. We show that every shift invariant space can be decomposed as an orthogonal sum of spaces each of which is generated by a single function whose shifts form a Parseval frame. For a second countable locally compact abelian group $G$ we prove a useful Hilbert space isomorphism, introduce range funct...
