We give a unified approach to analysing, for each positive integer $s$, a class of finite connected graphs that contains all the distance transitive graphs as well as the locally $s$-arc transitive graphs of diameter at least $s$. A graph…

We prove that commutator subgroups of topological full groups arising from minimal subshifts have exponential growth. We also prove that the measurable full group associated to the countable, measure-preserving, ergodic and hyperfinite…

Recall that an effective circle action is semifree if the stabilizer subgroup of each point is connected. We show that if $(M, \om)$ is a coadjoint orbit of a compact Lie group $G$ then every element of $\pi_1(G)$ may be represented by a…

We study profinite actions of residually finite groups in terms of weak containment. We show that two strongly ergodic profinite actions of a group are weakly equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. This allows us to construct…

We prove that, if $\Gamma$ is a finite connected cubic vertex-transitive graph, then either there exists a semiregular automorphism of $\Gamma$ of order at least $6$, or the number of vertices of $\Gamma$ is bounded above by an absolute…

The aim of this note is twofold. Firstly, we explain in detail Remark 4.1 in \cite{doan-a} by showing that the action of the automorphism group of the second Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_2$ on itself extends to its formal semi-universal…

We generalize the notion of isoperimetric profiles of finitely generated groups to their actions by measuring the boundary of finite subgraphings of the orbit graphing. We prove that like the classical isoperimetric profiles for groups,…

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…

In this article we show that the semigroup operation of a strictly linearly ordered semigroup on a real interval is automatically continuous if each element of the semigroup admits a square root. Hence, by a result of Acz\'el, such a…

In the present paper we study the thermodynamical properties of finitely generated continuous subgroup actions. We address a notion of topological entropy and pressure functions that does not depend on the growth rate of the semigroup and…

This paper studies separating invariants of finite groups acting on affine varieties through automorphisms. Several results, proved by Serre, Dufresne, Kac-Watanabe and Gordeev, and Jeffries and Dufresne exist that relate properties of the…

Given a surface of higher genus, we will look at the Weil-Petersson completion of the Teichmuller space of the surface, and will study the isometric action of the mapping class group on it. The main observation is that the geometric…

For two countably infinite fields whose multiplicative groups are isomorphic, we examine invariant couplings between the actions that these groups induce on the additive Pontryagin duals of the fields. We show that the actions are disjoint…

It is shown that a flat subgroup, $H$, of the totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ decomposes into a finite number of subsemigroups on which the scale function is multiplicative. The image, $P$, of a multiplicative semigroup in…

We discuss how the global geometry and topology of manifolds depend on different group actions of their fundamental groups, and in particular, how properties of a non-trivial compact 4-dimensional cobordism $M$ whose interior has a complete…

We investigate the group structure of center-preserving automorphisms of the finite Heisenberg group over $\mathbb Z_N$ with $U(1)$ extension, which arises in finite-dimensional quantum mechanics on a discrete phase space. Constructing an…

We introduce a new class of semigroups arising from a restricted class of asynchronous automata. We call these semigroups "expanding automaton semigroups." We show that the class of synchronous automaton semigroups is strictly contained in…

We improve on earlier results on the closure under free products of the class of automaton semigroups. We consider partial automata and show that the free product of two self-similar semigroups (or automaton semigroups) is self-similar (an…

We prove that the semigroup operation of a topological semigroup $S$ extends to a continuous semigroup operation on its the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta S$ provided $S$ is a pseudocompact openly factorizable space, which means…

Denote by PSelf(X) (resp., Self(X)) the partial (resp., full) transformation monoid over a set X, and by Sub(V) (resp., End(V)) the collection of all subspaces (resp., endomorphisms) of a vector space V. We prove various results that imply…
