We prove that a random group in the triangular density model has, for density larger than 1/3, fixed point properties for actions on $L^p$-spaces (affine isometric, and more generally $(2-2\epsilon)^{1/2p}$-uniformly Lipschitz) with $p$…

In this paper, we discuss the existence of fixed points for integral type contractions in uniform spaces endowed with both a graph and an $E$-distance. We also give two sufficient conditions under which the fixed point is unique. Our main…

It is well-known that $\mathrm{SL}_{n}(\mathbf{Q}_{p})$ acts without fixed points on an $(n-1)$-dimensional $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ space (the affine building). We prove that $n-1$ is the smallest dimension of $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ spaces on which…

We introduce a weak asymptotic version of nonlinear contraction, termed \emph{asymptotic pointwise contraction}. For a mapping on a metric space, this notion requires the existence of a sequence of functions that dominate the distances…

Smith theory says that the fixed point of a semi-free action of a group $G$ on a contractible space is ${\bb Z}_p$-acyclic for any prime factor $p$ of $G$. Jones proved the converse of Smith theory for the case $G$ is a cyclic group acting…

It is known that if each point $x$ of a dynamical system is generic for some invariant measure $\mu_x$, then there is a strong connection between certain ergodic and topological properties of that system. In particular, if the acting group…

We prove that if $G$ is a noncompact connected real reductive linear Lie group, then any discrete subgroup of $G$ acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on some homogeneous space $G/H$ of $G$ is quasi-isometrically embedded and…

We propose a definition of what should be meant by a {\it proper} action of a locally compact group on a C*-algebra. We show that when the C*-algebra is commutative this definition exactly captures the usual notion of a proper action on a…

Consider the action of $GL(n,\mathbb{Q_p})$ on the $p$-adic unit sphere $\mathcal{S}_n$ arising from the linear action on $\mathbb{Q}_p^n\setminus\{0\}$. We show that for the action of a semigroup $\mathfrak{S}$ of $GL(n,\mathbb{Q}_p)$ on…

We establish a fixed point property for a certain class of locally compact groups, including almost connected Lie groups and compact groups of finite abelian width, which act by simplicial isometries on finite rank buildings with measurable…

In this article it is proved, that every locally compact second countable group has a left invariant metric d, which generates the topology on G, and which is proper, ie. every closed d-bounded set in G is compact. Moreover, we obtain the…

In this paper we survey some recent results on actions of finite groups on topological manifolds. Given an action of a finite group $G$ on a manifold $X$, these results provide information on the restriction of the action to a subgroup of…

We prove a number of results linking properties of actions by compact groups (both quantum and classical) on Banach spaces, such as uniform continuity, spectrum finiteness and extensibility of the actions across several constructions.…

We prove that a random group has fixed points when it isometrically acts on a CAT(0) cube complex. We do not assume that the action is simplicial.

Let $p$ be a prime, let $KU_p$ be $p$-complete complex $K$-theory, and let $\mathbb{Z}_p^\times$ denote the group of units in the $p$-adic integers. The $p$-adic Adams operations induce an action of the profinite group $\mathbb{Z}_p^\times$…

In this note we study the dynamics of the natural evaluation action of the group of isometries $G$ of a locally compact metric space $(X,d)$ with one end. Using the notion of pseudo-components introduced by S. Gao and A. S. Kechris we show…

We introduce a topometric version of Lipschitz-free spaces and study its universal property. Another aim of this paper is to investigate actions of topological groups $G$ on Lipschitz-free spaces $\mathcal{F}(M)$, induced by isometric…

In a couple of previous papers, we initiated a systematic study of semihypergroups and had a thorough discussion on certain analytic and algebraic aspects associated to this class of objects. In this article, we introduce and examine…

This paper presents new approaches to the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in L^1 spaces. While it is well-known that L^1 fails the fixed point property in general, we provide a complete and self-contained proof that…

Consider a finite l-group acting on the affine space of dimension n over a field k, whose characteristic differs from l. We prove the existence of a fixed point, rational over k, in the following cases: --- The field k is p-special for some…
