We investigate continuous transitive actions of semitopological groups on spaces, as well as separately continuous transitive actions of topological groups.

Given a partial action of a topological group $G$ on a space $X$, we determine properties $\mathcal P$ which can be extended from $X$ to its globalization. We treat the cases when $\mathcal P$ is any of the following: Hausdorff, regular,…

Some boundedness properties of function spaces (considered as topological groups) are studied.

Physical properties of matter are tightly related with the kind of symmetry of the medium. Group theory is a systematic tool, though not always easy to handle, to exploit symmetry properties, for instance to find the eigenvectors and…

In this paper we survey some recent results on actions of finite groups on topological manifolds. Given an action of a finite group $G$ on a manifold $X$, these results provide information on the restriction of the action to a subgroup of…

We study the variety of actions of a fixed (Chevalley) group on arbitrary geodesic, Gromov hyperbolic spaces. In high rank we obtain a complete classification. In rank one, we obtain some partial results and give a conjectural picture.

In this article, we generalise Haglund and Wise's theory of special cube complexes to groups acting on quasi-median graphs. More precisely, we define special actions on quasi-median graphs, and we show that a group which acts specially on a…

The title refers to the area of research which studies infinite groups using measure-theoretic tools, and studies the restrictions that group structure imposes on ergodic theory of their actions. The paper is a survey of recent developments…

We prove that a group acting geometrically on a thick affine building has property (T). A more general criterion for property (T) is given for groups acting on partite complexes.

In this paper we study group actions on hyperbolic $\Lambda$-metric spaces, where $\Lambda$ is an ordered abelian group. $\Lambda$-metric spaces were first introduced by Morgan and Shalen in their study of hyperbolic structures and then…

Using an algebraic point of view we present an introduction to the groupoid theory, that is, we give fundamental properties of groupoids as, uniqueness of inverses and properties of the identities, and study subgroupoids, wide subgroupoids…

This article is a survey article on geometric group theory from the point of view of a non-expert who likes geometric group theory and uses it in his own research. The sections are: classical examples, basics about quasiisometry,properties…

We establish a connection between two well-studied spaces of countable groups: the space of group operations and the space of marked groups. This connection shows that the two spaces are equivalent in terms of generic properties in the…

We construct p.m.p. group actions that are not local-global limits of sequences of finite graphs. Moreover, they do not weakly contain any sequence of finite labeled graphs. Our methods are based on the study of almost automorphisms of…

We first investigate the geometry of orbits of the isotropy action on a semi-simple pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space by investigating the complexified action. Next we investigate the geometry of the orbits of Hermann type actions on the…

Quasi-median graphs have been introduced by Mulder in 1980 as a generalisation of median graphs, known in geometric group theory to naturally coincide with the class of CAT(0) cube complexes. In his PhD thesis, the author showed that…

We use the combinatorial harmonic map theory to study the isometric actions of discrete groups on Hadamard spaces. Given a finitely generated group acting by automorphisms, properly discontinuously and cofinitely on a simplicial complex and…

It is shown that a locally compact second countable group $G$ has the Haagerup property if and only if there exists a sharply weak mixing 0-type measure preserving free $G$-action $T=(T_g)_{g\in G}$ on an infinite $\sigma$-finite standard…

In recent years, the ergodic theory of group actions on homogeneous spaces has played a significant role in the metric theory of Diophantine approximation. We survey some recent developments with special emphasis on Diophantine properties…

We study groups acting by length-preserving transformations on spaces equipped with asymmetric, partially-defined distance functions. We introduce a natural notion of quasi-isometry for such spaces and exhibit an extension of the…
