Which results in probabilistic group theory generalize from finite groups to compact Hausdorff groups (and which don't)?
Let $G$ be a finite group. It has been shown that:
If the probability that two randomly selected elements of $G$ generate an abelian group is greater than $5/8$, $G$ is abelian.
If the probability ...

Generating stationary, ergodic random fields on a homogeneous space
Consider a homogeneous space $M$, which for the sake of concreteness, let's take to be $M = \mathbb R^d$. Fix some space $A$, and consider the space of functions $X = C(M,A)$, along with its Borel $\...

Building random homeomorphisms of the torus $\mathbb T^2$
In https://arxiv.org/abs/0912.3423, a family of random homeomorphisms of the circle is constructed. Main Question: Can the construction be generalized to higher space dimensions, e.g. to $\mathbb T^2$?...

A measure on the group of homeomorphisms of $\mathbb T^2$
Let us consider the group of measure-preserving homeomorphisms of $\mathbb T^2$ (with transformations identified if they agree almost
everywhere) called $G[\mathbb T^2, \mathcal L^2]$. We shall ...
