We give a characterization of those Alexandrov spaces admitting a cohomogeneity one action of a compact connected Lie group $G$ for which the action is Cohen--Macaulay. This generalizes a similar result for manifolds to the singular setting…

A quantum deformation of the conformal algebra of the Minkowskian spacetime in $(3+1)$ dimensions is identified with a deformation of the $(4+1)$-dimensional AdS algebra. Both Minkowskian and AdS first-order non-commutative spaces are…

We study new examples of translating solitons of the mean curvature flow, especially in Minkowski space. We consider for this purpose manifolds admitting submersions and cohomegeneity one actions by isometries on suitable open subsets. This…

We present a simple approach to questions of topological orbit equivalence for actions of countable groups on topological and smooth manifolds. For example, for any action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a topological manifold where the…

A frame-like action for arbitrary mixed-symmetry bosonic massless fields in Minkowski space is constructed. The action is given in a simple form and consists of two terms for a field of any spin. The fields and gauge parameters are certain…

These are the notes for a series of lectures at the Institute of Geometry and Topology of the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in July 13-15, 2022. We assume basic knowledge of isometric actions on Riemannian manifolds, including the…

Given an action of a Lie group on a smooth manifold, we discuss the induced action on the Hochschild cohomology of smooth functions, and notions of invariance on this space. Depending on whether one considers invariance of cochains or…

Covariant differential calculi and exterior algebras on quantum homogeneous spaces endowed with the action of inhomogeneous quantum groups are classified. In the case of quantum Minkowski spaces they have the same dimensions as in the…

We construct a series of homogeneous spaces G/H of reductive type which admit proper actions of discrete subgroups of G isomorphic to cocompact lattices of O(n,1) (n=2,3,4) but do not admit proper actions of non-compact semisimple subgroups…

We study three different topologies on the moduli space $\mathscr{H}^{\rm loc}_m$ of equivariant isometry classes of $m$-dimensional locally homogeneous Riemannian spaces. As an application, we provide the first examples of locally…

The complete classification of classical $r$-matrices generating quantum deformations of the (3+1)-dimensional (A)dS and Poincar\'e groups such that their Lorentz sector is a quantum subgroup is presented. It is found that there exists…

Let the compact torus $T^{n-1}$ act on a smooth compact manifold $X^{2n}$ effectively with nonempty finite set of fixed points. We pose the question: what can be said about the orbit space $X^{2n}/T^{n-1}$ if the action is cohomologically…

We investigate orthogonal representations of compact Lie groups from the point of view of their quotient spaces, considered as metric spaces. We study metric spaces which are simultaneously quotients of different representations and…

We present two examples of actions of non-regular locally compact quantum groups on their homogeneous spaces. The homogeneous spaces are defined in a way specific to these examples, but the definitions we use have the advantage of being…

In this paper we investigate the action of Polish groups (not necessary abelian) on an uncountable Polish spaces. We consider two main situations. First, when the orbits given by group action are small and the second when the family of…

We consider compact manifolds $M$ with a cohomogeneity one action of a compact Lie group $G$ such that the orbit space $M/G$ is a closed interval. For $T$ a maximal torus of $G$, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on the group…
