Let $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, and $T_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the set of $n\times n$ lower triangular matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$. We show that $T_n(\mathbb{K})$ has dense subsemigroups that are generated by $n+1$…

Let $S$ be a finitely generated abelian semigroup of invertible linear operators on a finite dimensional real or complex vector space $V$. We show that every coarsely dense orbit of $S$ is actually dense in $V$. More generally, if the orbit…

We prove that, in both real and complex cases, there exists a pair of matrices that generates a dense subsemigroup of the set of $n\times n$ matrices.

Let ${\mathcal F}_I=\{f:I \to I| f(x)= (Ax+B)/(Cx+D); AD-BC \neq 0 \}$, where $I$ is an interval. For $x\in I$, let ${\Omega}_x$ be the orbit of $x$ under the action of the semigroup of functions generated by $f,g \in {\mathcal F}_I$. Our…

We investigate the question of whether or not the orbit of a point in A/Q, under the natural action of a subset S of Q, is dense in A/Q. We prove that if the set S is a multiplicative semigroup which contains at least two multiplicatively…

In this paper, we bring together results about the existence of a somewhere dense (resp. dense) orbit and the minimal number of generators for abelian semigroups of matrices on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We solve the problem of determining the minimal…

In this paper, we give a characterization for any abelian subgroup G of a lie group of diffeomorphisms maps of C^n, having a somewhere dense orbit G(x), x in C^n: G(x) is somewhere dense in C^n if and only if there are f_{1},....,f_{2n+1 in…

Let A be a singular matrix of M_n(K), where K is an arbitrary field. Using canonical forms, we give a new proof that the sub-semigroup of (M_n(K),x) generated by the similarity class of A is the set of matrices of M_n(K) with a rank lesser…

We give a characterization of hypercyclic abelian semigroup G of affine maps on C^n. If G is finitely generated, this characterization is explicit. We prove in particular that no abelian group generated by n affine maps on C^n has a dense…

We classify the pairs $(C,G)$ where $C$ is a seminormal curve over an arbitrary field $k$ and $G$ is a smooth connected algebraic group acting faithfully on $C$ with a dense orbit, and we determine the equivariant Picard group of $C$. We…

In this note, we consider matrices similar to $X$-form matrices, which are the matrices for which only the diagonal and the anti-diagonal elements can be different from zero. First, we give a characterization of these matrices using the…

Let $V$ be a projective variety defined over a number field $K$, let $S$ be a polarized set of endomorphisms of $V$ all defined over $K$, and let $P\in V(K)$. For each prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$, let $m_{\mathfrak{p}}(S,P)$ denote the…

We study the structure of nilpotent subsemigroups in the semigroup $M(n,\mathbb{F})$ of all $n\times n$ matrices over a field, $\mathbb{F}$, with respect to the operation of the usual matrix multiplication. We describe the maximal…

Orbital semilattices are introduced as bounded semilattices that are, in addition, equipped with an outer multiplication (a semigroup action) and diagonals (a concept borrowed from cylindric algebra), where each semilattice element has a…

We give a characterization of hypercyclic using (locally hypercyclic) of semigroup G of affine maps of C^n. We prove the existence of a G-invariant open subset of C^n in which any locally hypercyclic orbit is dense in C^n.

We consider actions of the free semigroup with two generators on the real line, where the generators act as affine maps, one contracting and one expanding, with distinct fixed points. Then every orbit is dense in a half-line, which leads to…

Let $S$ be a semigroup, $\Lambda$ a non-empty set and $P$ a mapping of $\Lambda$ into $S$. The set $S\times \Lambda$ together with the operation $\circ _P$ defined by $(s, \lambda)\circ _P(t, \mu )=(sP(\lambda)t, \mu )$ form a semigroup…

Let V be a finite dimensional vector space over the two element field. We compute orbits for the linear action of groups generated by transvections with respect to a certain class of bilinear forms on V. In particular, we compute orbits…

We give a complete characterization of abelian subgroups of GL(n, R) with a locally dense (resp. dense) orbit in R^n. For finitely generated subgroups, this characterization is explicit and it is used to show that no abelian subgroup of…

Densities of states weighted with the diagonal matrix elements of two operators A and B, i.e., rho^(A,B)(E) = sum_n <n|A|n><n|B|n> delta(E-E_n) cannot, in general, be written as a trace formula, and therefore no simple extension of…
