On quasimorphisms and distortion in homeomorphism groups

Michael Brandenbursky, Jarek Kedra, Michal Marcinkowski +1

Let be a smooth compact oriented connected manifold, and the group of homeomorphisms of supported away from which preserve a Borel probab…

Volume and Euler classes in bounded cohomology of transformation groups

Michael Brandenbursky, Michał Marcinkowski

Let be an oriented smooth manifold, and the group of measure preserving homeomorphisms of , where is a finite measure induced by a volume for…

The Schwarz-Milnor lemma for braids and area-preserving diffeomorphisms

Michael Brandenbursky, Michał Marcinkowski, Egor Shelukhin

We prove a number of new results on the large-scale geometry of the -metrics on the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of each orientable surface. Our proofs use in a ke…

Bounded cohomology of transformation groups

Michael Brandenbursky, Michal Marcinkowski

Let be a complete connected Riemannian manifold of finite volume. In this paper we present a new method of constructing classes in bounded cohomology of transformation groups s…

Entropy and quasimorphisms

Michael Brandenbursky, Michał Marcinkowski

Let be a compact oriented surface. We construct homogeneous quasimorphisms on , on and on generalizing the constructions of Gambaudo-G…

Aut-invariant norms and Aut-invariant quasimorphisms on free and surface groups

Michael Brandenbursky, Michał Marcinkowski

Let be the free group on generators and the surface group of genus . We consider two particular generating sets: the set of all primitive elements in and t…

Burghelea conjecture and asymptotic dimension of groups

Alexander Engel, Michal Marcinkowski

We review the Burghelea conjecture, which constitutes a full computation of the periodic cyclic homology of complex group rings, and its relation to the algebraic Baum-Connes conje…

Gromov positive scalar curvature conjecture and rationally inessential macroscopically large manifolds

Michał Marcinkowski

We give the first examples of rationally inessential but macroscopically large manifolds. Our manifolds are counterexamples to the Dranishnikov rationality conjecture. For some of…

Cancelation norm and the geometry of biinvariant word metrics

Michael Brandenbursky, Światosław R. Gal, Jarek Kędra +1

We study biinvariant word metrics on groups. We provide an efficient algorithm for computing the biinvariant word norm on a finitely generated free group and we construct an isomet…
