Suppose G is an almost simple group containing a subgroup isomorphic to the three-dimensional integer Heisenberg group. For example any finite index subgroup of SL(3,Z) is such a group. The main result of this paper is that every action of…

This article takes the inspiration from two milestones in the study of non minimal actions of groups on the circle: Duminy's theorem about the number of ends of semi-exceptional leaves and Ghys' freeness result in analytic regularity. Our…

For manifolds equipped with group actions, we have the following natural question: To what extent does the equivariant cohomology determine the equivariant diffeotype? We resolve this question for Hamiltonian circle actions on compact,…

Local and category-theoretical entropies associated with an endomorphism of finite length (i.e., with zero-dimensional closed fiber) of a commutative Noetherian local ring are compared. Local entropy is shown to be less than or equal to…

We extend specification and periodic specification to finitely generated group actions on uniform spaces using a concept of specification point. We prove that certain group actions having two distinct specification points have positive…

A probability measure preserving action of a discrete amenable group $G$ is said to be dominant if it is isomorphic to a generic extension of itself. Recently, it was shown that for $G = \mathbb{Z}$, an action is dominant if and only if it…

We prove that if a finite group $G$ has a representation with fixity $f$, then it acts freely and homologically trivially on a finite CW-complex homotopy equivalent to a product of $f+1$ spheres. This shows, in particular, that every finite…

This article discusses a method to compute the induced action on the fundamental group of a real rational surface and provides the induced actions for basic quadratic real automorphisms. Using an invariant set in the fundamental group, we…

The scaling entropy of a p.m.p. action is a slow-entropy type invariant that characterizes the intermediate growth of entropy in a dynamical system. An amenable group $G$ has a scaling entropy growth gap if the scaling entropy of any its…

We study a notion of entropy for probability measure preserving actions of finitely generated free groups, called f-invariant entropy, introduced by Lewis Bowen. In the degenerate case, the f-invariant entropy is negative infinity. In this…

We show that for a $\mathbb{Z}^{l}$-action (or $(\N\cup\{0\})^l$-action) on a non-empty compact metrizable space $\Omega$, the existence of a affine space dense in the set of continuous functions on $\Omega$ constituted by elements…

On an open, connected symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms forms an infinite-dimensional Fr\'echet Lie group with Lie algebra $C^{\infty}_c(M)$ and adjoint action given by pullbacks. We prove that this…

Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is an invariant of measure-preserving actions of the group of integers that is central to classification theory. There are two recently developed invariants, sofic entropy and Rokhlin entropy, that generalize…

We look at group actions on metric spaces, particularly at group actions on geodesic hyperbolic spaces. We classify the types of automorphisms on these spaces and prove several results about the density of the hyperbolic limit set of the…

We study the entropy of the set traced by an $n$-step random walk on $\Z^d$. We show that for $d \geq 3$, the entropy is of order $n$. For $d = 2$, the entropy is of order $n/\log^2 n$. These values are essentially governed by the size of…

Given an area-preserving diffeomorphism of the closed unit disk which is a rotation near the boundary, one can naturally define an "action" function on the disk which agrees with the rotation number on the boundary. The Calabi invariant of…
