We prove global rigidity results for actions of higher rank lattices on nilmanifolds containing a partially hyperbolic element. We consider actions of higher rank lattices on tori or on $2-$step nilpotent nilmanifolds, such that the actions…
We show that genuinely higher rank expanding actions of abelian semi-groups on compact manifolds are $C^{\infty}$-conjugate to affine actions on infra-nilmanifolds. This is based on the classification of expanding diffeomorphisms up to…
We obtain smooth conjugacy between non-necessarily special Anosov endomorphisms in the conservative case. Among other results, we prove that a strongly special $C^{\infty}-$Anosov endomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^2$ and its linearization are…
We give a topological stability result for the action of the fundamental group of a compact manifold of negative curvature on its boundary at infinity: any nearby action of this group by homeomorphisms of the sphere is semi-conjugate to the…
We study area preserving Anosov maps on the two-dimensional torus within a fixed homotopy class. We show that the set of pressure functions for Anosov diffeomorphisms with respect to the geometric potential is equal to the set of pressure…
We prove that every smooth diffeomorphism group valued cocycle over certain abelian Anosov actions on tori (and more generally on infranilmanifolds), is a smooth coboundary on a finite cover, if the cocycle is center bunched and trivial at…
We consider Abelian-by-cyclic groups for which the cyclic factor acts by hyperbolic automorphisms on the Abelian subgroup. We show that if such a group acts faithfully by $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of the closed interval with no global fixed…
We show that for certain classes of actions of Z^d, d >= 2, by automorphisms of the torus any measurable conjugacy has to be affine, hence measurable conjugacy implies algebraic conjugacy; similarly any measurable factor is algebraic, and…
We prove a generalization of Livsic's Theorem on the vanishing of the cohomology of certain types of dynamical systems. As a consequence, we strengthen a result due to Zimmer concerning algebraic hulls of Anosov actions of semisimple Lie…
The goal of this paper is to study ergodic and rigidity properties of smooth actions of the discrete Heisenberg group $\H$. We establish the decomposition of the tangent space of any $C^\infty$ compact Riemannian manifold $M$ for Lyapunov…
We study regularity of a conjugacy between a hyperbolic or partially hyperbolic toral automorphism $L$ and a $C^\infty$ diffeomorphism $f$ of the torus. For a very weakly irreducible hyperbolic automorphism $L$ we show that any $C^1$…
Let $M$ be a closed oriented $C^\infty$ manifold and $f$ a $C^\infty$ Anosov diffeomorphism on $M$. We show that if $M$ is the two torus $T^2$, then $f$ is conjugate to a hyperbolic automorphism of $T^2$, either by a $C^\infty$…
Let G be a connected semisimple Lie group without compact factors whose real rank is at least 2, and let \Gamma \subset G be an irreducible lattice. We provide a C^\infty classification for volume-preserving Cartan actions of \Gamma and G.…
We prove that an Anosov action of $\mathbb{R}^k$ over a compact manifold $M$ transitive on regular sub-cones satisfies the dichotomy: each stable and unstable leaf is dense or the Anosov action is topologically conjugated to a suspension of…
Let $J$ be a semisimple Lie group with all simple factors of real rank at least two. Let $\Gamma<J$ be a lattice. We prove a very general local rigidity result about actions of $J$ or $\Gamma$. This shows that almost all so-called "standard…
Berend gives necessary and sufficient conditions on a $Z^r$-action $\alpha$ on a torus $T^d$ by toral automorphisms in order for every orbit be either finite or dense. One of these conditions is that on every common eigendirection of the…
An Anosov diffeomorphism is topologically conjugate to an infranilmanifold automorphism if and only if it has polynomial Global Product Structure.
We prove that a generic element of the Anosov-Katok class of the torus, $\overline{\mathcal{O}}^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}^2)$, acts parabolically and non-properly on the fine curve graph $C^{\dagger}(\mathbb{T}^2)$. Additionally, we show that a…
Suppose $X_{1}, X_{2}$ are nilmanifolds and $\rho, \sigma$ are automorphism actions of a discrete group $\Gamma$ on $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$ respectively. We show that if $(X_{1},\rho)$ and $(X_{2}, \sigma)$ satisfy certain additional conditions…
We show that if $A$ is $\mathcal{Z}$, $\mathcal{O}_2$, $\mathcal{O}_{\infty}$, a UHF algebra of infinite type, or the tensor product of a UHF algebra of infinite type and $\mathcal{O}_{\infty}$, then the conjugation action $\mathrm{Aut}(A)…
