We study actions of connected algebraic groups on normal algebraic varieties, and show how to reduce them to actions of affine subgroups.

If $\mathcal C$ is a class of complexes closed under taking full subcomplexes and covers and $\mathcal G$ is the class of groups admitting proper and cocompact actions on one-connected complexes in $\mathcal C$, then $\mathcal G$ is closed…

An equivariant stable birational invariant of an action of a finite group on a smooth projective variety is the first cohomology group of the Picard module. Bogomolov-Prokhorov and Shinder computed this for actions of cyclic groups on…

For an action of the circle group $S^1$ on a compact oriented manifold with isolated fixed points, there is a claim that weights at the fixed points occur in pairs. This phenomenon holds for other types of $S^1$-manifolds, e.g., (almost)…

An almost-direct product of free groups is an iterated semidirect product of finitely generated free groups in which the action of the constituent free groups on the homology of one another is trivial. We determine the structure of the…

We generalise results about isometric group actions on metric spaces and their fundamental regions to the context of merely continuous group actions. In particular, we obtain results that yield the relative compactness of a fundamental…

We construct finite group actions on Lagrangian Floer theory when symplectic manifolds have finite group actions and Lagrangian submanifolds have induced group actions. We first define finite group actions on Novikov-Morse theory. We…

A Coxeter group acts properly and cocompactly by isometries on the Davis complex for the group; we call the quotient of the Davis complex under this action the Davis orbicomplex for the group. We prove the set of finite covers of the Davis…

The positive cohomology groups of a finite group acting on a ring vanish when the ring has a norm-one element. In this note we give explicit homotopies on the level of cochains when the group is cyclic, which allows us to express any…

We show that every irreducible, simply connected curve on a toric affine surface X over the field of complex numbers is an orbit closure of a multiplicative group action on X. It follows that up to the action of the automorphism group…

We define two complexes on which the group Aut$(F_n)$ acts freely. The homotopy groups of these are studied. They map to the K-groups of Z and are themselves a sort of pre-K-theory.

We prove vanishing results for Lie groups and algebraic groups (over any local field) in bounded cohomology. The main result is a vanishing below twice the rank for semi-simple groups. Related rigidity results are established for…

The notions of nonpositive curved spaces and biautomatic groups are generalizations of the geometric properties of hyperbolic spaces and computational properties of their fundamental groups. Given the mutual origins of these conditions, one…

For each finite ordinal n, and each locally-finite group G of cardinality aleph-sub-n, we construct an (n+1)-dimensional, contractible CW-complex on which G acts with finite stabilizers. We use the complex to obtain information about…

We study finite group actions on Leibniz algebras, define equivariant cohomology groups associated to such actions. We show that there exists a cup-product operation on this graded cohomology groups which makes it a graded zinbiel algebra.

Building on the Atiyah--Singer holomorphic Lefschetz fixed-point theorem, we define ramification modules associated to the fixed loci of a finite group acting on a compact complex manifold. This allows us to generalize the Chevalley--Weil…

The problem of equivariant rigidity is the $\Gamma$-homeomorphism classification of $\Gamma$-actions on manifolds with compact quotient and with contractible fixed sets for all finite subgroups of $\Gamma$. In other words, this is the…

We classify the transitive, effective, holomorphic actions of connected complex Lie groups on complex surfaces.

Coxeter groups admit amenable actions on compact spaces. Moreover, they have finite asymptotic dimension.
