A finite spin system invariant under a symmetry group G is a very illustrative example of the finite group action on a set of mappings f:X->Y. In the case of spin systems X is a set of spin carriers and Y contains 2s+1 z-components -s<=m<=s…
The group of isometries W of a regular rooted tree, and many of its subgroups with branching structure, have groups of automorphisms induced by conjugation in W. This fact has stimulated the computation of the group of automorphisms of such…
We prove cyclic sieving phenomena satisfied by corner-rooted plane trees (alias ordered trees). The sets of rooted plane trees that we consider are: (1) all trees with $n$ nodes; (2) all trees with $n$ nodes and $k$ leaves; (3) all trees…
A caterpillar tree is a connected, acyclic, graph in which all vertices are either a member of a central path, or joined to that central path by a single edge. In other words, caterpillar trees are the class of trees which become path…
We construct a tree-based dependence structure for the representation of binomial, Poisson and Gaussian random vectors having a given covariance matrix, using sums of independent random variables. This construction allows us to characterize…
We introduce a new group action on set systems, constructed as a semidirect product of a permutation group and a group generated by twist and loop complementation operations on a single element. This action extends the ribbon group…
The tree complex is a simplicial complex defined in recent work of Belk, Lanier, Margalit, and Winarski with natural applications to mapping class groups and complex dynamics. In this article, we connect this setting with the study of…
If $G$ is a group acting on a tree $X$, and ${\mathcal S}$ is a $G$-equivariant sheaf of vector spaces on $X$, then its compactly-supported cohomology is a representation of $G$. Under a finiteness hypothesis, we prove that if $H_c^0(X,…
Topologically constrained genome-like polymers often double-fold into tree-like configurations, which can be modelled on the level of folded (ring) polymers or on the level of the underlying random trees. For both descriptions, we have…
Orbit harmonics is a tool in combinatorial representation theory which promotes the (ungraded) action of a linear group $G$ on a finite set $X$ to a graded action of $G$ on a polynomial ring quotient by viewing $X$ as a $G$-stable point…
We give a functorial definition of $G$-gerbes over a simplicial complex when the local symmetry group $G$ is non-Abelian. These combinatorial gerbes are naturally endowed with a connective structure and a curving. This allows us to define a…
We study group actions on multitrees, which are directed graphs in which there is at most one directed path between any two vertices. In our main result we describe a six-term exact sequence in $K$-theory for the reduced crossed product…
We study the Fibered Isomorphism conjecture of Farrell and Jones for groups acting on trees. We show that under certain conditions the conjecture is true for groups acting on trees when the stabilizers satisfy the conjecture. These…
Let $G$ be a complex semisimple algebraic group and $X$ be a complex symmetric homogeneous $G$-variety. Assume that both $G$, $X$ as well as the $G$-action on $X$ are defined over real numbers. Then $G(\mathbb{R})$ acts on $X(\mathbb{R})$…
We consider actions of completely metrisable groups on simplicial trees in the context of the Bass--Serre theory. Our main result characterises continuity of the amplitude function corresponding to a given action. Under fairly mild…
Certain families of combinatorial objects admit recursive descriptions in terms of generating trees: each node of the tree corresponds to an object, and the branch leading to the node encodes the choices made in the construction of the…
This article explores the novel notion of gyrogroup actions, which is a natural generalization of the usual notion of group actions. As a first step toward the study of gyrogroup actions from the algebraic viewpoint, we prove three…
In this thesis we give a construction of cyclic cocycles on convolution algebras twisted by gerbes over discrete translation groupoids. In his seminal book, Connes constructs a map from the equivariant cohomology of a manifold carrying the…
By a well known theorem of K.S. Brown an action of a discrete group on a simply-connected complex allows to construct a presentation of this group modulo the stabilizers of vertices. The main goal of the present paper is to provide a new…
Given an action by a finitely generated group G on a locally finite tree T, we view points of the visual boundary \partialT as directions in T and use {\rho} to lift this sense of direction to G. For each point E \in \partialT, this allows…
