On the transportation cost norm on finite metric graphs
Georges Skandalis, Alain Valette
For a finite metric graph , where is endowed with the shortest path metric, we consider the transportation cost problem associated with the distance on . N…

Rieffel projections and 2-by-2 matrices
Olivier Isely, Alain Valette
For a compact space , we view as the crossed product , with acting trivially. This allows us to study Rieffel projections in…

Amenable actions of real and -adic algebraic groups
Alain J. Valette
Let be a locally compact field of characteristic 0. Let be a linear algebraic group defined over , acting algebraically on an algebraic variety . We prove that the ac…

The linear $\SL_2(\Z)$-action on $\T^n$: ergodic and von Neumann algebraic aspects
Paul Jolissaint, Alain Valette
The unique irreducible representation of $\SL_2(\R)$ on induces an action, called the \textit{linear action}, of $\SL_2(\Z)$ on the torus $\T^n$ for every . For …
