We study actions of discrete subgroups $\Gamma$ of semi-simple Lie groups $G$ on associated oriented flag manifolds. These are quotients $G/P$, where the subgroup $P$ lies between a parabolic subgroup and its identity component. For Anosov…

We consider the action of Anosov subgroups of a semi-simple Lie group on the associated flag manifolds. A systematic approach to construct cocompact domains of discontinuity for this action was given by Kapovich, Leeb and Porti in…

This article gives an up-to-date account of the theory of discrete group actions on non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces. As an introduction of the motifs of this article, we begin by reviewing the current knowledge of possible global forms of…

Let $G$ be a noncompact semisimple Lie group, $\Gamma$ be an irreducible cocompact lattice in $G$, and $P<G$ be a minimal parabolic subgroup. We consider the dynamics of $P$ acting on $G/\Gamma$ by left translation. For any infinite subset…

This survey is based on a series of lectures that we gave at MSRI in Spring 2015 and on a series of papers, mostly written jointly with Joan Porti. Our goal here is to: 1. Describe a class of discrete subgroups $\Gamma<G$ of higher rank…

We prove that if $G$ is a noncompact connected real reductive linear Lie group, then any discrete subgroup of $G$ acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on some homogeneous space $G/H$ of $G$ is quasi-isometrically embedded and…

We introduce a sufficient condition for a finitely generated subgroup $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$ to admit finite-sided Dirichlet domains for polyhedral Finsler metrics on the symmetric space $G/K$. The condition always implies…

A flag domain of a real from $G_0$ of a complex semismiple Lie group $G$ is an open $G_0$-orbit $D$ in a (compact) $G$-flag manifold. In the usual way one reduces to the case where $G_0$ is simple. It is known that if $D$ possesses…

We compare various notions of proper discontinuity for group actions. We also discuss fundamental domains and criteria for cocompactness.

Let G be a real reductive Lie group and H a closed reductive subgroup of G. We investigate the deformation of "standard" compact quotients of G/H, i.e., of quotients of G/H by discrete subgroups Gamma of G that are uniform lattices in a…

Given a non-compact semisimple real Lie group $G$ and an Anosov subgroup $\Gamma$, we utilize the correspondence between $\mathbb R$-valued additive characters on Levi subgroups $L$ of $G$ and $\mathbb R$-affine homogeneous line bundles…

Among the remarkable properties shared with convex cocompact representations, Anosov representations admit cocompact domains of discontinuity in flag varieties. For representations produced by embedding Fuchsian representations into higher…

Flag domains are open orbits of real forms $G_\mathbb{R}$ of complex reductive Lie supergroups $G$ in $G$-flag supermanifolds $Z = G/P$. This thesis discusses three topics from the theory of these flag domains: 1. Measurability(i.e.…

We study the topology and geometry of compact complex manifolds associated to Anosov representations of surface groups and other hyperbolic groups in a complex semisimple Lie group $G$. These manifolds are obtained as quotients of the…

In this paper we study domains in flag manifolds which are bounded in an affine chart and whose projective automorphism group acts co-compactly. In contrast to the many examples in real projective space, we will show that no examples exist…

Given a semisimple Lie group $G$ and a self-opposite flag manifold $\mathcal{F}$ of $G$, we establish a necessary condition for an infinite subgroup $H$ of $G$ to preserve a proper domain in $\mathcal{F}$. In the case where $G$ is a…

Given an action of a group G on a topological space X, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a free subgroup F of rank 2 of G acting properly discontinuously on at least one nonempty, open, F-invariant…

We study infinite covolume discrete subgroups of higher rank semisimple Lie groups, motivated by understanding basic properties of Anosov subgroups from various viewpoints (geometric, coarse geometric and dynamical). The class of Anosov…

For a convex cocompact subgroup $G<Mod(S)$, and points $x,y \in Teich(S)$ we obtain asymptotic formulas as $R\to \infty$ of $|B_{R}(x)\cap Gy|$ as well as the number of conjugacy classes of pseudo-Anosov elements in $G$ of dilatation at…

We consider the dynamics of semiflows of patterns on unbounded domains that are equivariant under a noncompact group action. We exploit the unbounded nature of the domain in a setting where there is a strong `global' norm and a weak `local'…
