We give an explicit description of internal actions in the semi-abelian categories of pro-groups and non-unital pro-rings in terms of actions of group objects and ring objects in $\mathrm{Pro}(\mathbf{Set})$, as well as in some related…

A countable group $G$ has the strong topological Rokhlin property (STRP) if it admits a continuous action on the Cantor space with a comeager conjugacy class. We show that having the STRP is a symbolic dynamical property. We prove that a…

We present an axiomatic approach to combination theorems for various homological properties of groups and, more generally, of chain complexes. Examples of such properties include algebraic finiteness properties, $\ell^2$-invisibility,…

We explain, following Gromov, how to produce uniform isometric actions of groups starting from isometric actions without fixed point, using common ultralimits techniques. This gives in particular a simple proof of a result by Shalom:…

We define proper, free and commuting partial actions on upper semicontinuous bundles of $C^*-$algebras. With such, we construct the $C^*-$algebra induced by a partial action and a partial actions on that algebra. Using those action we give…

We introduce the notion of self-similar actions of grouopids on other groupoids and Fell bundles. This leads to a new imprimitivity theorem arising from such dynamics, generalizing many earlier imprimitivity theorems involving group and…

We investigate groups whose Cayley graphs have poor\-ly connected subgraphs. We prove that a finitely generated group has bounded separation in the sense of Benjamini--Schramm--Tim\'ar if and only if it is virtually free. We then prove a…

Let $\Lambda_0$ be an ordered abelian group. We show how an $\mathrm{ATF}(\mathbb{Z}\times\Lambda_0)$ group -- that is, a group admitting a free affine action without inversions on a $\mathbb{Z}\times\Lambda_0$-tree -- admits a natural…

We study shadowing property for a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$. It is proved that if $f$ is dynamically coherent then any pseudotrajectory can be shadowed by a pseudotrajectory with "jumps" along the central foliation. The proof…

We consider the class of finitely generated groups which have a normal form computable in logspace. We prove that the class of such groups is closed under finite extensions, finite index subgroups, direct products, wreath products, and also…

We survey some results concerning finite group actions on products of spheres.

Two groups have a common model geometry if they act properly and cocompactly by isometries on the same proper geodesic metric space. The Milnor-Schwarz lemma implies that groups with a common model geometry are quasi-isometric; however, the…

Semigroup actions and their invertible extensions are discussed. First, we develop a theory of natural extensions for continuous actions of countable, embeddable semigroups. Second, we demonstrate that not every surjective such action of a…

We characterise acylindrical hyperbolicity of a group in terms of properties of an action of the group on a set (without any extra structure). In particular, this applies to the action of the group on itself by left multiplication, as well…

We show that any subgroup of a (virtually) nilpotent-by-polycyclic group satisfies the bounded packing property of Hruska-Wise. In particular, the same is true about metabelian groups and linear solvable groups. However, we find an example…

In this paper, $\varphi:G\times X\to X$ is a continuous action of finitely generated group $G$ on compact metric space $(X, d)$ without isolated point. We introduce the notion of persistent shadowing property for $\varphi:G\times X\to X$…

Zimmer's superrigidity theorems on higher rank Lie groups and their lattices launched a program of study aiming to classify actions of semisimple Lie groups and their lattices, known as the {\it Zimmer program}. When the group is too large…

We argue that finite-region observables in quantum gravity are best approached in terms of boundary data on null hypersurfaces. This has far-reaching effects on the basic notions of classical and quantum mechanics, such as Hamiltonians and…

We introduce the notion of hyperfiniteness for permutation actions of countable groups on countable sets and give a geometric and analytic characterization, similar to the known characterizations for amenable actions. We also answer a…

We establish a surprising correspondence between groups definable in o-minimal structures and linear algebraic groups, in the nilpotent case. It turns out that in the o-minimal context, like for finite groups, nilpotency is equivalent to…
