We prove the following to results: (1) A subgroup G of the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold M acts properly on M if and only if G is closed in the isometry group of M. (2) The orbits of an isometric action are closed if and only if…

We consider an $\alpha$-relaxed projection $P_A^\alpha:H\to H$ given by $P_A^\alpha(x)=\alpha P_A(x)+(1-\alpha)x$ where $\alpha\in[0,1]$ and $P_A$ is the projection onto a non-empty, convex and closed subset $A$ of the real Hilbert space…

We prove a generalization of a theorem of Borel-Harish-Chandra on closed orbits of linear actions of reductive groups. Consider a real reductive algebraic group $G$ acting linearly and rationally on a real vector space $V$. $G$ can be…

Let $D$ be a bounded strongly convex domain with smooth boundary in $\mathbb C^N$. Let $(\phi_t)$ be a continuous semigroup of holomorphic self-maps of $D$. We prove that if $p\in \partial D$ is an isolated boundary regular fixed point for…

We will prove the following theorems. The first theorem posits the existence of a fixed point for the actions of nilpotent Lie groups on nonpositively curved compact manifolds. The second theorem states that actions of solvable Lie groups…

We prove a myriad of results related to the stabilizer in an algebraic group $G$ of a generic vector in a representation $V$ of $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Our results are on the level of group schemes, which carries more…

The aim of this paper is to generalize some fixed point theorems in the class of convex contraction of order $m$ on a complete suprametric space. Then, we will prove that the class of convex contraction of order m is strong enough to…

In this paper we survey some recent results on actions of finite groups on topological manifolds. Given an action of a finite group $G$ on a manifold $X$, these results provide information on the restriction of the action to a subgroup of…

We consider a finite, connected and simple graph $\Gamma$ that admits a vertex-transitive group of automorphisms $G$. Under the assumption that, for all $x \in V(\Gamma)$, the local action $G_x^{\Gamma(x)}$ is the action of…

We investigate global continuation of periodic orbits of a differential equation depending on a parameter, assuming that a closed 1-form satisfying certain properties exists. We begin by extending the global continuation theory of…

If a finite group acts topologically, faithfully and orientation preservingly on R^3, then it is isomorphic to a subgroup of SO(3).

We introduce and study the notion of continuous orbit equivalence of actions of countable discrete groups on Cartan pairs in (twisted) groupoid context. We characterize orbit equivalence of actions in terms of the corresponding…

We prove the existence of common fixed points for commuting homeomorphisms of the plane R^2 or the sphere S^2, which preserve a probability measure. For example: some commuting C^1-diffeomorphisms of S^2, which are sufficiently close to the…

In this paper we study the orbit closure problem for a reductive group $G\subseteq GL(X)$ acting on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over $\C$. We assume that the center of $GL(X)$ lies within $G$ and acts on $V$ through a fixed…

We study the Oort groups for a prime p, i.e. finite groups G such that every G-Galois branched cover of smooth curves over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p lifts to a G-cover of curves in characteristic 0. We prove that all…

In this paper we treat faithful actions of simple algebraic groups on irreducible modules and on the associated Grassmannian varieties. By explicit calculation, we show that in each case, with essentially one exception (only in…

We prove that finitely generated amenable groups acting on CAT(0) spaces satisfy the following alternative: either every action on a geodesically complete CAT(0) space with bounded geometry (or finite dimension) has a global fixed point, or…

We extend to binary relational systems the notion of compact and normal structure, introduced by J.P.Penot for metric spaces, and we prove that for the involutive and reflexive ones, every commuting family of relational homomorphisms has a…

Let X be a connected topological space admitting a universal cover. Let a be a degree one cohomology class on X. We define and study a two-cocycle on a group acting on X by homeomorphisms preserving the class a. We use this cocycle to…
