Prof. Yohei KOMORI (City University of Osaka): The Banach-Tarski paradox for symmetric spaces

Academic or specialist Colloquium / Congress / Forum

The famous Banach-Tarski paradox states that two bounded subsets of
the Euclidean 3-space
each having nonempty interior are equidecomposable with respect to
Euclidean isometries.
We will consider analogous paradox for symmetric spaces.
Axiom of Choice and Actions of free groups are central to the whole
theory.
