We give a criterion for the rigidity of actions on homogeneous spaces. Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda$ a lattice in $G$, and $\Gamma$ a subgroup of the affine group Aff$(G)$ stabilizing $\Lambda$. Then the action of $\Gamma$ on…

Consider a smooth effective action of a torus $\mathbb{T}^n$ on a connected $C^{\infty}$-manifold $M$ of dimension $m$. Then $n\leq m$. In this work we show that if $n<m$, then there exist a complete vector field $X$ on $M$ such that the…

In this exposition, we propose a notion of rank and rigidity of locally nilpotent derivations of affine fibrations. We show that the concept is analogous to the perception of rank and rigidity of locally nilpotent derivations of polynomial…

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…

This paper is devoted to the study of noncommutative ergodic theorems for connected amenable locally compact groups. For a dynamical system $(\mathcal{M},\tau,G,\sigma)$, where $(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ is a von Neumann algebra with a normal…

In this paper we provide a characterization of smooth algebraic varieties endowed with a faithful algebraic torus action in terms of a combinatorial description given by Altmann and Hausen. Our main result is that such a variety X is smooth…

We present a new argument in the study of positive entropy measures for higher rank diagonalisable actions. The argument relies on a quantitative form of recurrence along unipotent directions (that are not known to preserve the measure).…

In the present work we obtain rigidity results analysing the set of regular points, in the sense of Oseledec's Theorem. It is presented a study on the possibility of an Anosov diffeomorphisms having all Lyapunov exponents defined…

In this article we generalize a theorem by Palais on the rigidity of compact group actions to cotangent lifts. We use this result to prove rigidity for integrable systems on symplectic manifolds including sytems with degenerate…

We introduce the notion of a local torus action modeled on the standard representation (for simplicity, we call it a local torus action). It is a generalization of a locally standard torus action and also an underlying structure of a…

In this paper we study perturbations of constant cocycles for actions of higher rank semi-simple algebraic groups and their lattices. Roughly speaking, for ergodic actions, Zimmer's cocycle superrigidity theorems implies that the perturbed…

Let $\Gamma$ be an amenable countable discrete group. Fix an ergodic free nonsingular action of $\Gamma$ on a nonatomic standard probability space. Let $G$ be a compactly generated locally compact second countable group such that the…

An upper bound is obtained on the rank of a torus which can act smoothly and effectively on a smooth, closed, simply connected, rationally elliptic manifold. In the maximal-rank case, the manifolds admitting such actions are classified up…

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 study the ergodicity of non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems with non-uniform expansion. As an application we get that any uniformly expanding finitely generated semigroup action of $C^{1+\alpha}$ local diffeomorphisms of a compact…

We consider an effective action of a compact (n-1)-torus on a smooth 2n-manifold with isolated fixed points. We prove that under certain conditions the orbit space is a closed topological manifold. In particular, this holds for certain…

Let $X$ be a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial compact K\"ahler klt threefold admitting an action of a free abelian group $G$, which is of positive entropy and of maximal rank. After running the $G$-equivariant log minimal model program, we show that…

Let $X$ be an affine algebraic variety endowed with an action of complexity one of an algebraic torus $\mathbb{T}$. It is well known that homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations on the algebra of regular functions $\mathbb{K}[X]$ can be…

Let $\Gamma$ be a weakly irreducible higher rank lattice. In this paper, we will prove various rigidity results for the $\Gamma$-action following a philosophy of the Zimmer program. We provide new rigidity results including local and global…

An algebraic $\Gamma$-action is an action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a compact abelian group $X$ by continuous automorphisms of $X$. We prove that any expansive algebraic action of a finitely generated nilpotent group $\Gamma$ on a…
