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…
Semiuniform semigroups provide a natural setting for the convolution of generalized finite measures on semigroups. A semiuniform semigroup is said to be ambitable if each uniformly bounded uniformly equicontinuous set of functions on the…
An approach to modelling random sets with locally finite perimeter as random elements in the corresponding subspace of $L^1$ functions is suggested. A Crofton formula for flat sections of the perimeter is shown. Finally, random processes of…
Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…
We survey some results and questions about free actions of infinite groups on products of spheres and euclidean spaces, and give some new co-compact examples.
The original definition of amenability given by von Neumann in the highly non-constructive terms of means was later recast by Day using approximately invariant probability measures. Moreover, as it was conjectured by Furstenberg and proved…
We prove that every countable acylindrically hyperbolic group admits a highly transitive action with finite kernel. This theorem uniformly generalizes many previously known results and allows us to answer a question of Garion and Glassner…
We consider a constructive modification of quantum-mechanical formalism. Replacement of a general unitary group by unitary representations of finite groups makes it possible to reproduce quantum formalism without loss of its empirical…
We study actions of countable discrete groups which are amenable in the sense that there exists a mean on X which is invariant under the action of G. Assuming that G is nonamenable, we obtain structural results for the stabilizer subgroups…
We define formal geometric quantisation for proper Hamiltonian actions by possibly noncompact groups on possibly noncompact, prequantised symplectic manifolds, generalising work of Weitsman and Paradan. We study the functorial properties of…
We study the topological complexities of relative entropy zero extensions acted by countableinfinite amenable groups. Firstly, for a given Folner sequence $\{F_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$, we define respectively the relative entropy dimensions and…
We prove that any countable non-amenable group G admits a free minimal amenable purely infinite action on the non-compact Cantor set. This answers a question of Kellerhals, Monod and R{\o}rdam.
This is a report on our long term project to find an algorithm to decide if a finitely presented group has a non-trivial action on a tree.
It is shown that the restriction of the action of any group with finite orbit on the minimal sets of dendrites is equicontinuous. Consequently, we obtain that the action of any amenable group and Thompson group on dendrite restricted on…
In this paper we collect several examples of convergence of functions of random processes to generalized functionals of those processes. We remark that the limit is always finitely absolutely continuous with respect to Wiener measure. We…
We show that on groups generated by bounded activity automata, every symmetric, finitely supported probability measure has the Liouville property. More generally we show this for every group of automorphisms of bounded type of a rooted…
An erratum has been added to resolve an issue raised by Professor Derek Holt. This appears after the original paper, and also includes two new results. Original abstract: Houghton's groups $H_2, H_3, \ldots$ are certain infinite permutation…
We give a sufficient condition for a symbolic topological dynamical system with action of a countable amenable group to be an extension of the full shift, a problem analogous to those studied by Ashley, Marcus, Johnson and others for…
Sets of desirable gambles constitute a quite general type of uncertainty model with an interesting geometrical interpretation. We give a general discussion of such models and their rationality criteria. We study exchangeability assessments…
We establish a near dichotomy between randomness and structure for the point counts of arbitrary projective cubic threefolds over finite fields. Certain "special" subvarieties, not unlike those in the Manin conjectures, dominate. We also…
