We consider actions of locally compact groups $G$ on certain CAT(0) spaces $X$ by isometries. The CAT(0) spaces we consider have finite dimension at large scale. In case $B$ is a $G$-boundary, that is a measurable $G$-space with amenability…

Distributive subsets of the group of all invertible continuous binary operations on a topological space are considered, and it is proved that the subgroups generated by them are also distributive. A criterion for the distributivity of a…

We consider the problems of measurable isomorphisms and joinings, measurable centralizers and quotients for certain classes of ergodic group actions on infinite measure spaces. Our main focus is on systems of algebraic origin: actions of…

We introduce and study various notions of amenability continuous (Borel) partial actions of locally compact (Borel) groups $G$ on topological (standard Borel) spaces. We also study amenability of partial representations of a locally compact…

For actions with a dense orbit of a connected noncompact simple Lie group $G$, we obtain some global rigidity results when the actions preserve certain geometric structures. In particular, we prove that for a $G$-action to be equivalent to…

We look at group actions on metric spaces, particularly at group actions on geodesic hyperbolic spaces. We classify the types of automorphisms on these spaces and prove several results about the density of the hyperbolic limit set of the…

We prove that, if $G$ is a second-countable topological group with a compatible right-invariant metric $d$ and $(\mu_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a sequence of compactly supported Borel probability measures on $G$ converging to invariance…

Let $Q$ be a closed manifold admitting a locally-free action of a compact Lie group $G$. In this paper we study the properties of geodesic flows on $Q$ given by Riemannian metrics which are invariant by such an action. In particular, we…

Let $G$ be a countable group and $X$ be a totally regular curve. Suppose that $\phi:G\rightarrow {\rm Homeo}(X)$ is a minimal action. Then we show an alternative: either the action is topologically conjugate to isometries on the circle…

We provide a sufficient condition for a topological partial action of a Hausdorff group on a metric space is continuous, provide that it is separately continuous.

For topologically mixing locally conformal semigroup actions generated by a finite collection of $C^{1+\alpha}$ conformal local diffeomorphisms, we provide a countable Markov partition satisfying the finite images and the finite cycle…

The group of continuous binary operations on a topological space is studied; its relationship with the group of homeomorphisms is established. The category of binary $G$-spaces and bi-equivariant maps is constructed, which is a natural…

Given a semigroup of local homeomorphisms on a compact space X we consider the corresponding semigroup of *-endomorphisms on C(X) and discuss the possibility of extending it to an interaction group, a concept recently introduced by the…

In this paper, we construct the leash-metric that transforms the set of (partially) mixing actions of a Hausdorff locally compact group with a countable neighborhood base into a complete separable metric space.

In this paper, we extend the notion of temporo-spatial differentiation problems to the setting of actions of more general topological groups. The problem can be expressed as follows: Given an action $T$ of an amenable discrete group $G$ on…

Let $G$ be a totally disconnected, locally compact (t.d.l.c.) group. The scale $s_G(g)$ of $g \in G$ in the sense of Willis is given by the minimum value of the index $|gUg^{-1}:U \cap gUg^{-1}|$ as $U$ ranges over the compact open…

This work deals with the structure of the isometry group of pseudo-Riemannian 2-step nilmanifolds. We study the action by isometries of several groups and we construct examples showing substantial differences with the Riemannain situation;…

In this paper we introduce and study so-called $k^*$-metrizable spaces forming a new class of generalized metric spaces, and display various applications of such spaces in topological algebra, functional analysis, and measure theory. By…

It is shown that a locally compact second countable group $G$ has the Haagerup property if and only if there exists a sharply weak mixing 0-type measure preserving free $G$-action $T=(T_g)_{g\in G}$ on an infinite $\sigma$-finite standard…

Let S be a compact orientable surface with genus g and n boundary components d_1,...,d_n. Let b = (b_1, ..., b_n) where b_n lies in [-2,2]. Then the mapping class group of S acts on the relative SU(2)-character variety X comprising…
