We study invariant random subgroups (IRSs) of semidirect products $G=A\rtimes \unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$. In particular, we characterize all IRSs of parabolic subgroups of $\text{SL}_{d}(\mathbb{R})$, and show that all ergodic IRSs of $\mathbb{R}^{d}\rtimes \text{SL}_{d}(\mathbb{R})$ are either of the form $\mathbb{R}^{d}\rtimes K$ for some IRS of $\text{SL}_{d}(\mathbb{R})$, or are induced from IRSs of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}\rtimes \text{SL}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC})$, where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}<\mathbb{R}^{d}$ is a lattice.

AbstractWe construct a few supercharacter theories for finite semidirect products where the normal subgroup is of algebra group type. In the case of algebra groups, these supercharacter theories coincide with those of P. Diaconis and I. M. Isaacs. For the parabolic subgroups of \mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{F}_{q}), the supercharacters and superclasses are classified.

Abstract We prove that all invariant random subgroups of the lamplighter group L are co-sofic. It follows that L is permutation stable, providing an example of an infinitely presented such group. Our proof applies more generally to all permutational wreath products of finitely generated abelian groups. We rely on the pointwise ergodic theorem for amenable groups.

AbstractLet S and T be locally compact topological semigroups and a semidirect product. Conditions are determined under which topological left amenability of S and T implies that of , and conversely. The results are used to show that for a large class of semigroups which are neither compact nor groups, various notions of topological left amenability coincide.

AbstractLet G be one of the ind-groups GL(∞), O(∞), Sp(∞), and let P1, ..., Pℓ be an arbitrary set of ℓ splitting parabolic subgroups of G. We determine all such sets with the property that G acts with finitely many orbits on the ind-variety X1 × × Xℓ where Xi = G/Pi. In the case of a finite-dimensional classical linear algebraic group G, the analogous problem has been solved in a sequence of papers of Littelmann, Magyar–Weyman–Zelevinsky and Matsuki. An essential difference from the finite-dimensional case is that already for ℓ = 2, the condition that G acts on X1 × X2 with finitely many orbits is a rather restrictive condition on the pair P1, P2. We describe this condition explicitly. Using the description we tackle the most interesting case where ℓ = 3, and present the answer in the form of a table. For ℓ ≥ 4 there always are infinitely many G-orbits on X1 × × Xℓ.
