By a commutative action on a smooth quadric $Q_n$ in $P^{n+1}$ we mean an effective action of a commutative connected algebraic group on $Q_n$ with an open orbit. We show that for $n \geq 3$ all commutative actions on $Q_n$ are additive…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and let ${\bf x} :=x_1,\ldots,x_d$ be a regular $R$-sequence contained in the Jacobson radical of $R$. An ideal $I$ of $R$ is said to be a monomial ideal with respect to ${\bf x}$ if it is generated…

It is shown that for any action of a finitely presented group $G$ on an $\R$-tree, there is a decomposition of $G$ as the fundamental group of a graph of groups related to this action. If the action of $G$ on $T$ is non-trivial, i.e. there…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-solvable group, where $p$ is an odd prime. We establish a connection between extendible irreducible characters of subgroups of $G$ that lie under monomial characters of $G$ and nilpotent subgroups of $G$. We also…

Let R be an affine PI-algebra over an algebraically closed field k and let G be an affine algebraic k-group that acts rationally by algebra automorphisms on R. For R prime and G a torus, we show that R has only finitely many G-prime ideals…

A finite number of rational functions are compatible if they satisfy the compatibility conditions of a first-order linear functional system involving differential, shift and q-shift operators. We present a theorem that describes the…

We define the decomposition property for partial actions of discrete groups on $C^*$-algebras. Decomposable partial systems appear naturally in practice, and many commonly occurring partial actions can be decomposed into partial actions…

Consider an exact action of discrete group $G$ on a separable $C^*$-algebra $A$. It is shown that the reduced crossed product $A\rtimes_{\sigma, \lambda} G$ is strongly purely infinite - provided that the action of $G$ on any quotient $A/I$…

In this paper, we study partial actions of groups on $R$-algebras, where $R$ is a commutative ring. We describe the partial actions of groups on the indecomposable algebras with enveloping actions. Then we work on algebras that can be…

Suppose that $\tilde{G}$ is a connected reductive group defined over a field $k$, and $\Gamma$ is a finite group acting via $k$-automorphisms of $\tilde{G}$ satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the connected part of the…

We consider the actions of different groups G on the space M of m x n matrices with entries in the formal power series ring K[[x1,..., xs]], K an arbitrary field. G acts on M by analytic change of coordinates, combined with the…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$, and $Z_G=\mathbb{Z}\langle\zeta_{i,g}\mid g\in G,\ i=1,2,\dots,n\rangle$ be the free generic algebra, with canonical action of $G$ according to $(\zeta_{i,g})^x=\zeta_{i,x^{-1}g}$. It is proved that…

Given a square matrix with elements in the group-ring of a group, one can consider the sequence formed by the trace (in the sense of the group-ring) of its powers. We prove that the corresponding generating series is an algebraic…

For a class of groups $G$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$, including certain Lie groups, Algebraic groups and finite groups, we develop a general method to determine rational and real elements, thereby unifying earlier group-specific results into…

We develop the notion of Rokhlin dimension for partial actions of finite groups, extending the well-established theory for global systems. The partial setting exhibits phenomena that cannot be expected for global actions, usually stemming…

We study the globalization problem for a strong partial action $\alpha$ of a monoid $M$ on a semigroup $X$ via the associated rewriting system $(X_M^+,\to)$. We show that the local confluence of $(X_M^+,\to)$ is sufficient for the…

A transitive smooth action of a connected Lie group G on a manifold M is called almost primitive (resp. primitive) if G doesn't contain any proper subgroup (resp. any proper normal subgroup) whose induced action on M is transitive as well.…

Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…

Consider a locally compact group $G$ and a locally compact space $X$. A local right action of $G$ on $X$ is a continuous map $(x,p)\mapsto x\cdot p$ from an open subset $\Gamma$ of the Cartesian product $X\times G$ to $X$ satisfying certain…

Let $B$ be a fixed rational function of one complex variable of degree at least two. In this paper, we study solutions of the functional equation $A\circ X=X\circ B$ in rational functions $A$ and $X$. Our main result states that, unless $B$…
