The main result of the paper is the complete classification of the compact connected Lie groups acting coisotropically on complex Grassmannians. This is used to determine the polar actions on the same manifolds.

We consider finite groups which admit a faithful, smooth action on an acyclic manifold of dimension three, four or five (e.g. euclidean space). Our first main result states that a finite group acting on an acyclic 3- or 4-manifold is…

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for Cauchy-completeness of Kobayashi hyperbolic domains in complex manifolds. The first result gives a sufficient condition for completeness for relatively compact domains in several large…

A group action is called polar if there exists an immersed submanifold (a section) which intersects all orbits orthogonally. Such group actions have been studied extensively on symmetric spaces. We show how to construct a manifold admitting…

Let G be a simple non-compact linear connected Lie group and H be a closed non-compact semisimple subgroup. We are interested in finding classes of homogeneous spaces G/H admitting proper actions of discrete non virtually abelian subgroups…

We consider a connected symplectic manifold $M$ acted on properly and in a Hamiltonian fashion by a connected Lie group $G$. Inspired to the recent paper \cite{gb2}, see also \cite{ch} and \cite{pacini}, we study Lagrangian orbits of…

A visible action on a complex manifold is a holomorphic action that admits a $J$-transversal totally real submanifold $S$. It is said to be strongly visible if there exists an orbit-preserving anti-holomorphic diffeomorphism $\sigma $ such…

For any right-angled Coxeter group $\Gamma$ on $k$ generators, we construct proper actions of $\Gamma$ on $\mathrm{O}(p,q+1)$ by right and left multiplication, and on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{o}(p,q+1)$ by affine transformations, for some…

Let $G$ be a locally-compact group and $(H,L)$ a pair of closed subgroups of $G$. For the cases where $G$ is a real linear reductive Lie group, T. Kobayashi [Math. Ann. '89, J. Lie Theory '96] established a criterion for properness of the…

Definition of a smooth action of a CQG on a compact, smooth manifold is given and studied. It is shown that a smooth action is always injective. Furthermore A necessary and sufficient condition for a lift of the smooth action as a bimodule…

The equivariant cohomology for actions of compact connected abelian groups and elementary abelian p-groups have been widely studied in the last decades. We study some of these results on actions of finite cyclic groups over a field of…

The action dimension of a discrete group $G$ is the minimum dimension of contractible manifold that admits a proper $G$-action. We compute the action dimension of the direct limit of a simple complex of groups for several classes of…

Consider a smooth action $\mathbf G\times M \rightarrow M$ of a compact connected Lie group $\mathbf G$ on a connected manifold $M$. Assume the existence of a point of $M$ whose isotropy group has a single element (free point). Then we…

We study several properties of expansive group actions on metric spaces and obtain relation between expansivity for subgroup and group actions. Through counter examples necessity of hypothesis are justified. We also study expansivity of…

In the present paper we introduce the notion of complex asystatic Hamiltonian action on a K\"ahler manifold. In the algebraic setting we prove that if a complex linear group $G$ acts complex asystatically on a K\"ahler manifold then the…

Given a compact, connected Lie group $K$, we use principal $K$-bundles to construct manifolds with prescribed finite-dimensional algebraic models. Conversely, let $M$ be a compact, connected, smooth manifold which supports an almost free…

The classification of finite group-actions on closed surfaces of small genus is well-known. In the present paper we are interested in the question of which of these group-actions are bounding (extend to a compact 3-manifold with the surface…

We classify smooth locally free actions of the real affine group on closed orientable three-dimensional manifolds up to smooth conjugacy. As a corollary, there exists a non-homogeneous action when the manifold is the unit tangent bundle of…

Bowditch characterized relative hyperbolicity in terms of group actions on fine hyperbolic graphs with finitely many edge orbits and finite edge stabilizers. In this paper, we define generalized fine actions on hyperbolic graphs, in which…
