We prove a von Neumann-type ergodic theorem for averages of unitary operators arising from the Furstenberg–Poisson boundary representation (the quasi-regular representation) of any lattice in a non-compact connected semisimple Lie group with finite center.

There exists the wonderful integral transform on complex semisimple Lie groups, which assigns to a function on the group the set of its integrals over "generalized horospheres" — some specific submanifolds of the Lie group. The local inversion formula for this integral transform, discovered in 50's for [Formula: see text] by Gel'fand and Graev, made it possible to decompose the regular representation on [Formula: see text] into irreducible ones. In case of real semisimple Lie group the situation becomes more complicated, and usually there is no reasonable analogous integral transform at all. Nevertheless, in the present paper we succeed to define the integral transforms on the Lorentz group and some other real semisimple Lie groups, which are in a sense analogous to the integration over "horospheres". We obtain the inversion formulas for these integral transforms.

Recently Houdayer and Isono have proved, among other things, that every biexact group $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ has the property that for any non-singular strongly ergodic essentially free action $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\curvearrowright (X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$ on a standard measure space, the group measure space von Neumann algebra $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\ltimes L^{\infty }(X)$ is full. In this paper, we prove the same property for a wider class of groups, notably including $\text{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})$. We also prove that for any connected simple Lie group $G$ with finite center, any lattice $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\leqslant G$, and any closed non-amenable subgroup $H\leqslant G$, the non-singular action $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\curvearrowright G/H$ is strongly ergodic and the von Neumann factor $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\ltimes L^{\infty }(G/H)$ is full.

Let Γ be a discrete group and 𝒩 a finite factor, and assume that both have Kazhdan's Property (T). For p ∈ [1, +∞), p ≠ 2, let π : Γ →O(Lp(𝒩)) be a homomorphism to the group O(Lp(𝒩)) of linear bijective isometries of the Lp-space of 𝒩. There are two actions πl and πr of a finite index subgroup Γ+ of Γ by automorphisms of 𝒩 associated to π and given by πl(g)x = (π(g) 1)*π(g)(x) and πr(g)x = π(g)(x)(π(g) 1)* for g ∈ Γ+ and x ∈ 𝒩. Assume that πl and πr are ergodic. We prove that π is locally rigid, that is, the orbit of π under O(Lp(𝒩)) is open in Hom (Γ, O(Lp(𝒩))). As a corollary, we obtain that, if moreover Γ is an ICC group, then the embedding g ↦ Ad (λ(g)) is locally rigid in O(Lp(𝒩(Γ))), where 𝒩(Γ) is the von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular representation λ of Γ.

AbstractLet Γ be a rank-one arithmetic subgroup of a semisimple Lie group G. For fixed K-Type, the spectral side of the Selberg trace formula defines a distribution on the space of infinitesimal characters of G, whose discrete part encodes the dimensions of the spaces of square-integrable Γ-automorphic forms. It is shown that this distribution converges to the Plancherel measure of G when Γ shrinks to the trivial group in a certain restricted way. The analogous assertion for cocompact lattices Γ follows from results of DeGeorge-Wallach and Delorme.

AbstractIt is proved in this note, that a strongly continuous semigroup of (sub)positive contractions acting on an Lp-space, for 1 < p < ∞ p ≠ 2, can be dilated by a strongly continuous group of (sub)positive isometries in a manner analogous to the dilation M. A. Akçoglu and L. Sucheston constructed for a discrete semigroup of (sub)positive contractions. From this an improvement of a von Neumann type estimation, due to R. R.Coifman and G.Weiss, on the transfer map belonging to the semigroup is deduced.
