We classify all simply connected Riemannian manifolds whose isotropy groups act with cohomogeneity less than or equal to two.

Some classical polar spaces admit polar spaces of the same rank as embedded polar spaces (often arisen as the intersection of the polar space with a non-tangent hyperplane). In this article we look at sets of generators that behave…

This paper discusses topological and locally linear actions of finite groups on $S^4$. Local linearity of the orientation preserving actions on $S^4$ forces the group to be a subgroup of $SO(5)$. On the other hand, orientation reversing…

These lecture notes, prepared for the summer school "Topological quantum groups", Bedlewo 2015, deal with aspects of the theory of actions of compact quantum groups on C*-algebras ('locally compact quantum spaces'). After going over the…

In the present paper we introduce the notion of complex asystatic Hamiltonian action on a K\"ahler manifold. In the algebraic setting we prove that if a complex linear group $G$ acts complex asystatically on a K\"ahler manifold then the…

The article presents a bundle framework for nonlinear observer design on a manifold with a Lie group action. The group action on the manifold decomposes the manifold to a quotient structure and an orbit space, and the problem of observer…

We prove a structure result on proper extensions of two-sided restriction semigroups in terms of partial actions, generalizing respective results for monoids and for inverse semigroups and upgrading the latter. We introduce and study…

We show that integration over a $G$-manifold $M$ can be reduced to integration over a minimal section $\Sigma$ with respect to an induced weighted measure and integration over a homogeneous space $G/N$. We relate our formula to integration…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of maximal actions of compact tori on smooth manifolds and study compact connected complex manifolds equipped with maximal actions of compact tori. We give a complete classification of such manifolds,…

In biological systems, active agents such as actomyosin and cells move and interact on curved surfaces, exhibiting diverse phenomena. These observations have motivated studies of how curvature shapes their collective behavior. Here, using a…

Let $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ be the mapping class group of the closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$. In this article, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions under which two torsion elements in $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ will have…

We give a sufficient condition for isometric actions to have the congruency of orbits, that is, all orbits are isometrically congruent to each other. As applications, we give simple and unified proofs for some known congruence results, and…

Polar weighted homogeneous polynomials are the class of special polynomials of real variables $x_i,y_i, i=1,..., n$ with $z_i=x_i+\sqrt{-1} y_i$, which enjoys a "polar action". In many aspects, their behavior looks like that of complex…

We prove a general result about the decomposition on ergodic components of group actions on boundaries of spherically homogeneous rooted trees. Namely, we identify the space of ergodic components with the boundary of the orbit tree…

By decomposing the regular representation of a particular (Heisenberg-like) Lie supergroup into irreducible subspaces, we show that not all of them can be obtained by applying geometric quantization to coadjoint orbits with an even…

We consider a purely algebraic result. Then given a circle or cyclic group of prime order action on a manifold, we will use it to estimate the lower bound of the number of fixed points. We also give an obstruction to the existence of…

Given a two-dimensional conformal field theory with a global symmetry, we propose a method to implement an orbifold construction by taking orbits of the modular group. For the case of cyclic symmetries we find that this approach always…

In this paper, we investigate free actions of some compact groups on cohomology real and complex Milnor manifolds. More precisely, we compute the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the orbit space of an arbitrary free $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and…

We study the interplay between Steinberg algebras and partial skew rings: For a partial action of a group in a Hausdorff, locally compact, totally disconnected topological space, we realize the associated partial skew group ring as a…

Free actions of finite groups on spheres give rise to topological spherical space forms. The existence and classification problems for space forms have a long history in the geometry and topology of manifolds. In this article, we present a…
