If H is a flat group of automorphisms of finite rank n of a totally disconnected, locally compact group G, then each orbit of H in the metric space B(G) of compact, open subgroups of G is quasi-isometric to n-dimensional euclidean space. In…
Suppose that G is a compact Abelian topological group, m is the Haar measure on G and f is a measurable function. Given (n_k), a strictly monotone increasing sequence of integers we consider the nonconventional ergodic/Birkhoff averages…
We study the interaction between the group law on an abelian variety and the additive structure induced on its image under a morphism to projective space. Let $A/F$ be a simple abelian variety, $f:A \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ be a morphism…
We are interested in finding a dense part of the space of $C^1$-diffeomorphisms which decomposes into open subsets corresponding to different dynamical behaviors: we discuss results and questions in this direction. In particular we present…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field ${\bf k}$ of characteristic not equal to 2, let $\B$ be the variety of all Borel subgroups of $G$, and let $K$ be a symmetric subgroup of $G$. Fixing a…
We show that a compact group $G$ has finite conjugacy classes, i.e., is an FC-group if and only if its center $Z(G)$ is open if and only if its commutator subgroup $G'$ is finite. Let $d(G)$ denote the Haar measure of the set of all pairs…
We show that if $X$ is a complete metric space with uniform relative normal structure and $G$ is a subgroup of the isometry group of $X$ with bounded orbits, then there is a point in $X$ fixed by every isometry in $G$. As a corollary, we…
In this paper, we show that the generalized fixed-point algebra of a proper groupoid dynamical system, under certain assumptions, may be fibered over any locally compact Hausdorff space to which a continuous map exists from the unit space…
Let G be a connected real reductive algebraic group, and let K be a maximal compact subgroup of G. We prove that the conjugation orbit space Hom(Z^{2d},K)/K is a strong deformation retract of the space Hom(Z^{2d},G)/G of equivalence classes…
A finite non-abelian group $G$ is called commuting integral if the commuting graph of $G$ is integral. In this paper, we show that a finite group is commuting integral if its central factor is isomorphic to ${\mathbb{Z}}_p \times…
Let $S$ be a closed oriented surface and $G$ a finite group of orientation preserving automorphisms of $S$ whose orbit space has genus at least $2$. There is a natural group homomorphism from the $G$-centralizer in $Diff^+(S)$ to the…
We define a family of diffeomorphism-invariant models of random connections on principal $G$-bundles over the plane, whose curvatures are concentrated on singular points. In a limit when the number of point grows whilst the singular…
It is known that every homeomorphism of the plane has a fixed point in a non-separating, invariant subcontinuum. Easy examples show that a branched covering map of the plane can be periodic point free. In this paper we show that any…
We study closed, connected, spin 4-manifolds up to stabilisation by connected sums with copies of $S^2 \times S^2$. For a fixed fundamental group, there are primary, secondary and tertiary obstructions, which together with the signature…
This paper is a generalization of a previous paper by the author to connected unipotent linear algebraic groups. The notion of an $ \alpha $-pair answers when an open $ G $-stable, affine, sub-variety $ D(H) $ is a trivial bundle over $ G…
In the present paper we prove a duality theory for compact groups in the case when the C*-algebra A, the fixed point algebra of the corresponding Hilbert C*-system (F,G), has a nontrivial center Z and the relative commutant satisfies the…
Let G be a connected real reductive Lie group acting linearly on a finite dimensional vector space V over R. This action admits a Kempf-Ness function and so we have an associated gradient map. If G is Abelian we explicitly compute the image…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, F its algebraically closed extension, and G be the group of k-automorphisms of F endowed with a natural topology. One of the purposes of this paper is to show that any…
The main result of this paper is the following theorem. Let q be a prime, A an elementary abelian group of order q^3. Suppose that A acts as a coprime group of automorphisms on a profinite group G in such a manner that C_G(a)' is periodic…
We prove that a finite coprime linear group G in characteristic p>=(|G|-1)/2 has a regular orbit. This bound on p is best possible. We also give an application to blocks with abelian defect groups.
