Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$, and $G$ a subnormal or quasinormal subgroup of $D^*$. We show that if $G$ is locally solvable, then $G$ is contained in $F$.

It is shown that a closed solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is compactly generated. In particular, every discrete solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is finitely generated. Generalizations to locally compact groups are…

We introduce a family of discrete dynamical systems which includes, and generalizes, the mutation dynamics of rank two cluster algebras. These systems exhibit behavior associated with integrability, namely preservation of a symplectic form,…

Motivated by applications to equivariant neural networks and cryo-electron microscopy we consider the problem of recovering the generic orbit in a representation of a finite group from invariants of low degree. The main result proved here…

In the study of discrete dynamical systems, we typically start with a function from a space into itself, and ask questions about the properties of sequences of iterates of the function. In this paper we reverse the direction of this study.…

We discuss properties of orbits of (semi)group actions on locally compact groups G. In particular, we show that if a compactly generated locally compact abelian group acts distally on G then the closure of each of its orbits is a minimal…

A simple discrete planar dynamical model for the ideal (logical) R-S flip-flop circuit is developed with an eye toward mimicking the dynamical behavior observed for actual physical realizations of this circuit. It is shown that the model…

We consider faithful actions of simple algebraic groups on self-dual irreducible modules, and on the associated varieties of totally singular subspaces, under the assumption that the dimension of the group is at least as large as the…

We study the existence of homoclic solutions for reversible Hamiltonian systems taking the family of differential equations u^4+au^2-u+f(u,b)=0 as a model. Here f is an analytic function and a, b real parameters. These equations are…

In this note we study countable subgroups of the full group of a measure preserving equivalence relation. We provide various constraints on the group structure, the nature of the action, and on the measure of fixed point sets, that imply…

We compare the divergence of orbits and the reversibility error for discrete time dynamical systems. These two quantities are used to explore the behavior of the global error induced by round off in the computation of orbits. The similarity…

We study the topology of orbits of dynamical systems defined by finite-dimensional representations of nilpotent Lie groups. Thus, the following dichotomy is established: either the interior of the set of regular points is dense in the…

Our main is to study periodic orbits of linear and invariant flows on a real, connected Lie group. Since each linear flow $\varphi_t$ has a derivation associated $\mathcal{D}$, we show that the existence of periodic orbits of $\varphi_t$ is…

Following the recent advances in the study of groups of circle diffeomorphisms, we describe an efficient way of classifying the topological dynamics of locally discrete, finitely generated, virtually free subgroups of the group…

Based on the well-established theory of discrete conjugate nets in discrete differential geometry, we propose and examine discrete analogues of important objects and notions in the theory of semi-Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type. In…

We present a method of constructing discrete integrable systems with crystallographic reflection group (Weyl) symmetries, thus clarifying the relationship between different discrete integrable systems in terms of their symmetry groups.…

This work is motivated by the problem of finding locally compact group topologies for piecewise full groups (a.k.a.~ topological full groups). We determine that any piecewise full group that is locally compact in the compact-open topology…

We study smooth locally free actions of ${\mathbb R}^n$ on manifolds $M$ of dimension $n+1$. We are interested in compact orbits and in compact actions: actions with all orbits compact. Given a compact orbit in a neighborhood of compact…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite solvable group and $V$ is a finite, faithful and completely reducible $G$-module. Let $N$ be a nilpotent subgroup of $G$, then there exits $v \in V$ such that $|\bC_N(v)| \leq (|N|/p)^{1/p}$, where $p$ is the…

We provide a constructive method designed in order to control the stability of a given periodic orbit of a general completely integrable system. The method consists of a specific type of perturbation, such that the resulting perturbed…
