Continuity of asymptotic entropy on wreath products

This paper establishes the continuity of asymptotic entropy for random walks on wreath products ABA \wr B (where AA is any countable group and BB is a hyper-FC-central group with a cubic-growth subgroup) by proving the continuity of non-return probabilities and demonstrating that weak continuity of harmonic measures implies entropy continuity, thereby extending known results to new classes of groups including linear and CAT(0)\mathrm{CAT}(0) groups.

Locally 0\aleph_0-categorical theories and locally Roelcke precompact groups

This paper extends the correspondence between automorphism groups and 0\aleph_0-categorical structures to the locally Roelcke precompact and locally 0\aleph_0-categorical settings by defining the latter, proving a Ryll-Nardzewski theorem, characterizing the associated groups via isometric actions, and establishing that bi-interpretability of structures is equivalent to the isomorphism of their automorphism groups.

On the Maximal Size of Irredundant Generating Sets in Lie Groups and Algebraic Groups

This paper establishes that sufficiently large topologically generating sets in connected compact, amenable, and reductive algebraic groups are necessarily redundant, providing quantitative bounds linked to finite simple groups of Lie type and demonstrating that these findings partially resolve Gelander's conjectures by showing they follow from the Wiegold conjecture.

Rigidity of the dynamics of Aut(Fn){{\rm Aut}}({\mathsf{F}}_n) on representations into a compact group

This paper establishes that for a compact Lie group GG and sufficiently large rank nn, the dynamics of the automorphism group Aut(Fn){\rm Aut}({\mathsf{F}}_n) acting on the representation space Hom(Fn;G){\mathsf{Hom}}({\mathsf{F}}_n;G) exhibit algebraic rigidity, where orbit closures and invariant probability measures are algebraic in nature, analogous to Ratner's theorems.
