We establish coupled fixed point theorems for contraction involving rational expressions in partially ordered metric spaces.

For a wide class of domains $G\subset\mathbb C^d$ including balls and polydisks we prove the density of their canonical image in the spectrum of $H^\infty(G)$. This Corona Theorem is proved first in its abstract version for certain uniform…

In this paper, we consider discrete groups in ${\rm PGL}_d(\mathbb{R})$ acting convex co-compactly on a properly convex domain in real projective space. For such groups, we establish an analogue of the well known flat torus theorem for…

We investigate group actions in which certain primitive elements fix a point, while not all group elements possess this property when acting upon some space. Using similar dynamical tools, we introduce the notion of Nielsen girth and prove…

We introduce large scale analogues of topological monotone and light maps, which we call coarsely monotone and coarsely light maps respectively. We show that these two classes of maps constitute a factorization system on the coarse…

Let $S$ be an oriented surface of finite type, $\mathcal{MCG}(S)$ its mapping class group, and $\mathcal{T}(S)$ its Teichm\"uller space with the Teichm\"uller metric. Let $H \leq \mathcal{MCG}(S)$ be a finite subgroup and consider the…

The fixed point set under a natural torus action on projectivized moduli spaces of simple representations of quivers is described. As an application, the Euler characteristic of these moduli is computed.

We prove a criterion for an isometric action of a Lie group on a Riemannian manifold to be polar. From this criterion, it follows that an action with a fixed point is polar if and only if the slice representation at the fixed point is polar…

This article introduces free group representations of planar vortexes in a CW space that are a natural outcome of results for amenable groups and fixed points found by M.M. Day during the 1960s and a fundamental result for fixed points…

We show that the open unit ball of the space of operators from a finite dimensional Hilbert space into a separable Hilbert space (we call it "operator ball") has a restricted form of normal structure if we endow it with a hyperbolic metric…

We give a dynamical characterization of convex cocompact group actions on properly convex domains in projective space in the sense of Danciger-Gueritaud-Kassel: we show that convex cocompactness in $\mathbb{R} \mathrm{P}^d$ is equivalent to…

Let $\mathbf{TB}$ be the category of totally bounded, locally compact metric spaces with the $C_0$ coarse structures. We show that if $X$ and $Y$ are in $\mathbf{TB}$ then $X$ and $Y$ are coarsely equivalent if and only if their Higson…

We consider fully effective orientation-preserving smooth actions of a given finite group G on smooth, closed, oriented 3-manifolds M. We investigate the relations that necessarily hold between the numbers of fixed points of various…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group with property $(T)$ of Kazhdan. We prove that any Riemannian isometric action of $\Gamma$ on a compact manifold $X$ is locally rigid. We also prove a more general foliated version of this result. The…

A branch of generalizations of the Banach Fixed Point Theorem replaces contractivity by a weaker but still effective property. The aim of the present note is to extend the contraction principle in this spirit for such complete semimetric…

In this paper, we prove various results for circle actions on compact unitary manifolds with discrete fixed point sets, generalizing results for almost complex manifolds. For a circle action on a compact unitary manifold with a discrete…

Given a closed, oriented surface, possibly with boundary, and a mapping class, we obtain sharp lower bounds on the number of fixed points of a surface symplectomorphism (i.e. area-preserving map) in the given mapping class, both with and…

We construct the coarse index class with support condition (as an element of coarse $K$-homology) of an equivariant Dirac operator on a complete Riemannian manifold endowed with a proper, isometric action of a group. We further show a…

We organize fundamental properties of quasi-Hamiltonian spaces on which a finite group acts, and we apply them to the theory of moduli spaces of flat connections on an oriented compact surface with boundary.

We construct secondary cup and cap products on coarse (co-)homology theories from given cross and slant products. They are defined for coarse spaces relative to weak generalized controlled deformation retracts. On ordinary coarse…
