For every Sol manifold $M$, we determine the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-Thurston norm of every element in $H_2(M;\mathbb{Z}_2)$. Each Sol manifold is either a torus bundle over the circle or a torus semi-bundle, thus corresponds to a torus map. We…

In [4] and [5], we generalized the concept of completion of an infinitesimal group action $\zeta : {\mathfrak g} \to \mathfrak X (M)$ to an actual group action on a (non-compact) manifold $M$, originally introduced by R. Palais [9], and…

For a cyclic group $A$ and a connected Lie group $G$ with an $A$-module structure (with the additional conditions that $G$ is compact and the $A$-module structure on $G$ is 1-semisimple if $A\cong\ZZ$), we define the twisted Weyl group…

We consider endomorphism actions of arbitrary discrete semigroups on a connected metrizable topological group G. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for expansiveness of such actions when G is a Lie group or a compact…

Let G be an n-dimensional torus and $\tau$ a Hamiltonian action of G on a compact symplectic manifold, M. If M is pre-quantizable one can associate with $\tau$ a representation of G on a virtual vector space, Q(M), by…

A quasitoric manifold is a smooth 2n-manifold M^{2n} with an action of the compact torus T^n such that the action is locally isomorphic to the standard action of T^n on C^n and the orbit space is diffeomorphic, as manifold with corners, to…

We show that for a Lie group $G=\R^{n}\ltimes_{\phi} \R^{m}$ with a semisimple action $\phi$ which has a cocompact discrete subgroup $\Gamma$, the solvmanifold $G/\Gamma$ admits a canonical invariant formal (i.e. all products of harmonic…

Suppose a finite group $G$ acts on a manifold $M$. By a theorem of Mostow, also Palais, there is a $G$-equivariant embedding of $M$ into the $m$-dimensional Euclidean space $\RR^{m}$ for some $m$. We are interested in some explicit bounds…

Given a simple connected compact Lie group $K$ and a maximal torus $T$ of $K$, the Weyl group $W=N_K(T)/T$ naturally acts on $T$. First, we use the combinatorics of the (extended) affine Weyl group to provide an explicit $W$-equivariant…

For a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ with a compact Lie group $G$ acting by isometries, we show that there are infinitely many $G$-invariant minimal hypersurfaces. Under the assumption that $M$ contains at most a finite number of minimal…

Let G be a group and let M be a CAT(0) proper metric space (e.g. a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature or a locally finite tree). Isometric actions of G on M are (by definition) points in the…

For a semifield extension $T /S$, an action of a finite group $G$ on $T$ is Galois if $(1)$ the $G$-invariant subsemifield of $T$ is $S$ and $(2)$ subgroups of $G$ whose invariant semifields coincide are equal. We show that for a finite…

We show that if a (locally compact) group $G$ acts properly on a locally compact $\sigma$-compact space $X$ then there is a family of $G$-invariant proper continuous finite-valued pseudometrics which induces the topology of $X$. If $X$ is…

We study $3$-folds with an action of a algebraic torus $T$ and finite fixed point set. In particular, assuming the torus action has (exactly) $6$ fixed points we show that aside from Mori fibre spaces, the topology of such spaces is…

We construct an abelian category A(G) of sheaves over a category of closed subgroups of the r-torus G and show it is of finite injective dimension. It can be used as a model for rational $G$-spectra in the sense that there is a homology…

We consider normal affine T-varieties X endowed with an action of finite abelian group G commuting with the action of T. For such varieties we establish the existence of G-equivariant geometrico-combinatorial presentations in the sense of…

In this paper we will investigate torus actions on complete manifolds with calibrations. For Calabi-Yau manifolds M^2n with a Hamiltonian structure-preserving k-torus action we show that any symplectic reduction has a natural holomorphic…

Let $\varphi$ and $\varphi'$ be two homotopic actions of the topological group $G$ on the topological space $X$. To an object $A$ in the $G$-equivariant derived category $D_{\varphi}(X)$ of $X$ relative to the action $\varphi$ we associate…

We classify compact simply-connected 5-dimensional manifolds which admit a metric of nonnegative curvature with a connected non-abelian group acting by isometries. We show that they are diffeomorphic to either S^5, S^3 x S^2, the nontrivial…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…
