We construct all possible Hamiltonian torus actions for which all the non-empty reduced spaces are two dimensional (and not single points) and the manifold is connected and compact, or, more generally, the moment map is proper as a map to a…

A Cantor action is a minimal equicontinuous action of a countably generated group G on a Cantor space X. Such actions are also called generalized odometers in the literature. In this work, we introduce two new conjugacy invariants for…

We introduce the concept of Rokhlin dimension for actions of residually compact groups on C*-algebras, which extends and unifies previous notions for actions of compact groups, residually finite groups and the reals. We then demonstrate…

We show that the (topological) full group of a minimal pseudogroup over the Cantor set satisfies various rigidity phenomena of topological dynamical and combinatorial nature. Our main result applies to its possible homomorphisms into other…

A real toric space is a topological space which admits a well-behaved $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-action. Real moment-angle complexes and real toric varieties are typical examples of real toric spaces. A real toric space is determined by a pair of a…

Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold, equipped with a Hamiltonian action of a torus $T$. We give an explicit formula for the rational cohomology ring of the symplectic quotient $M//T$ in terms of the cohomology ring of $M$ and fixed point data.…

In 1994, J.Cobb constructed a tame Cantor set in $\mathbb R^3$ each of whose projections into $2$-planes is one-dimensional. We show that an Antoine's necklace can serve as an example of a Cantor set all of whose projections are…

In this article we consider a generalization of manifolds and orbifolds which we call quasifolds; quasifolds of dimension k are locally isomorphic to the quotient of R^k by the action of a discrete group - tipically they are not Hausdorff…

A nilpotent Cantor action is a minimal equicontinuous action $\Phi \colon \Gamma \times \frak{X} \to \frak{X}$ on a Cantor set $\frak{X}$, where $\Gamma$ contains a finitely-generated nilpotent subgroup $\Gamma_0 \subset \Gamma$ of finite…

The rational cohomology of a coadjoint orbit ${\cal O}$ is expressed as tensor product of the cohomology of other coadjoint orbits ${\cal O}_k$, with $ \hbox{dim} {\cal O}_k< \hbox{dim} {\cal O}$.

It is shown that the Cuntz semigroup of a space with dimension at most two, and with second cohomology of its compact subsets equal to zero, is isomorphic to the ordered semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions on the space with values…

We construct models for the classifying spaces of coabelian subgroups of right-angled Coxeter groups as homotopy orbit spaces of real moment-angle complexes, generalizing well-known models for the classifying space of a right-angled Coxeter…

Classical and quantum Hamiltonian reductions of free geodesic systems of complete Riemannian manifolds are investigated. The reduced systems are described under the assumption that the underlying compact symmetry group acts in a polar…

We prove that on a metrizable, compact, zero-dimensional space every free action of an amenable group is measurably isomorphic to a minimal $G$-action with the same, i.e. affinely homeomorphic, simplex of measures.

Some aspects of phase transitions can be more conveniently studied in the orbit space of the action of the symmetry group. After a brief review of the fundamental ideas of this approach, I shall concentrate on the mathematical aspect and…

We prove that if the dimension of the first cohomology group of a $RCD^*(0,N)$ space is $N$, then the space is a flat torus. This generalizes a classical result due to Bochner to the non-smooth setting and also provides a first example…

In this paper we determine the rational homotopy type of the classifying space of a generic Kac-Moody group by computing its rational cohomology ring. As an application we determine the rational homology Hopf algebra of the generic…

The author proposes a method for investigating actions of finite groups on aspherical spaces. Complete homotopy classification of free actions of finite groups on aspherical spaces is obtained. Also there are some results about non-free…

We prove that a compact quantum group with faithful Haar state which has a faithful action on a compact space must be a Kac algebra, with bounded antipode and the square of the antipode being identity. The main tool in proving this is the…

We consider effective actions of a compact torus $T^{n-1}$ on an even-dimensional smooth manifold $M^{2n}$ with isolated fixed points. We prove that under certain conditions on weights of tangent representations, the orbit space is a…
