. In this article we study convexity properties of distance functions in inﬁnite dimensional Finsler unitary groups, such as the full unitary group, the unitary Schatten perturbations of the identity and unitary groups of ﬁnite von Neumann algebras. The Finsler structures are deﬁned by translation of diﬀerent norms on the tangent space at the identity. We ﬁrst prove a convexity result for the metric derived from the operator norm on the full unitary group. We also prove strong convexity results…

Abstract We present geometric conditions on a metric space (Y,dY) ensuring that, almost surely, any isometric action on Y by Gromov’s expander-based random group has a common fixed point. These

The existence of a map conjugating two Cl-close G-actions has already been proved by Palais [5]. Palais' proof relies essentially on the fact that there exists a representation of G in an orthogonal
