摘要:
In this talk, I will demonstrate topological freeness of the actions on the visual boundary of a proper CAT(0) space and on the Roller boundary of a proper CAT(0) cube complex by a group with a rank-one element. Then I will show their applications to C*-algebras such as C*-simplicity of groups and regularity properties, such as pure infiniteness, of crossed product C*-algebras. This is based on a joint work with Daxun Wang and Wenyuan Yang.
