An algebraic notion of representational consistency is defined. A theorem relating it to free actions is proved. A metrizability problem of the quotient (a shape space) is discussed. This leads to a new algebraic variety with a…

We prove a structure result on proper extensions of two-sided restriction semigroups in terms of partial actions, generalizing respective results for monoids and for inverse semigroups and upgrading the latter. We introduce and study…

Let G be a finite group acting linearly on the polynomial ring with invariant ring R. If the action is small, then a classical result of Auslander gives in dimension two a correspondence between linear representations of G and maximal…

With this paper we present an extension of our recent ISSAC paper about computations of Groebner(-Shirshov) bases over free associative algebras Z<X>. We present all the needed proofs in details, add a part on the direct treatment of the…

Zimmer's superrigidity theorems on higher rank Lie groups and their lattices launched a program of study aiming to classify actions of semisimple Lie groups and their lattices, known as the {\it Zimmer program}. When the group is too large…

A set of functions is defined which is indexed by a positive integer $n$ and partitions of integers. The case $n=1$ reproduces the standard Schur polynomials. These functions are seen to arise naturally as a determinant of an action on the…

In this paper we survey recent developments in the theory of groups acting on $\Lambda$-trees. We are trying to unify all significant methods and techniques, both classical and recently developed, in an attempt to present various faces of…

We establish analogues in the context of group actions or group representations of some classical problems and results in additive combinatorics of groups. We also study the notion of left invariant submodular function defined on power sets…

We introduce a natural pseudometric on the space of actions of d-generated groups. In this pseudometric, the zero classes correspond to the weak equivalence classes defined by Kechris, and the metric identification is compact. We achieve…

We study congruences on the partial automorphism monoid of a finite rank free group action. We give a decomposition of a congruence on this monoid into a Rees congruence, a congruence on a Brandt semigroup and an idempotent separating…

Let G be any of the complex classical groups GL(n), SO(2n+1), Sp(2n), O(2n), let g denote the Lie algebra of G, and let Z(g) denote the subalgebra of G-invariants in the universal enveloping algebra U(g). We derive a Taylor-type expansion…

We define a generalization $\mathfrak{G}$ of the Grassmann algebra $G$ which is well-behaved over arbitrary commutative rings $C$, even when $2$ is not invertible. In particular, this enables us to define a notion of superalgebras that does…

We give a survey of recent classification results for crossed product von Neumann algebras arising from measure preserving group actions on probability spaces. This includes II_1 factors with uncountable fundamental groups and the…

We prove that Connes' Embedding Conjecture holds for the von Neumann algebras of sofic groups, that is sofic groups are hyperlinear. Hence we provide some new examples of hyperlinearity. We also show that the Determinant Conjecture holds…

In this paper, we initiate the study of higher rank Baumslag-Solitar semigroups and their related C*-algebras. We focus on two extreme, but interesting, classes - one is related to products of odometers and the other is related to…

The action of the Bernstein operators on Schur functions was given in terms of codes in [CG] and extended to the analog in Schur Q-functions in [HJS]. We define a new combinatorial model of extended codes and show that both of these results…

We provide a Lie algebra expansion procedure to construct three-dimensional higher-order Schr\"odinger algebras which relies on a particular subalgebra of the four-dimensional relativistic conformal algebra. In particular, we reproduce the…

Some well-known and less well-known or new notions related to group actions are surveyed. Some of these notions are used to generalize affine spaces. Actions are seen as functions with values in transformation monoids

First, we prove a theorem on dynamics of actions of monoids by endomorphisms of semigroups. Second, we introduce algebraic structures suitable for formalizing infinitary Ramsey statements and prove a theorem that such statements are implied…

We revisit Margulis-Zimmer Super-Rigidity and provide some generalizations. In particular we obtain super-rigidity results for lattices in higher-rank groups or product of groups, targeting at algebraic groups over arbitrary fields with…
