In this paper we study transitivity of partially hyperbolic endomorphisms of the two torus whose action in the first homology has two integer eigenvalues of moduli greater than one. We prove that if the Jacobian is everywhere greater than…

We show that if a group G acts isometrically on a locally finite leafless R-tree inducing a two-transitive action on its ends, then this tree is determined by the action of G on the boundary. As a corollary we obtain that locally finite…

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…

We show that if a group $G$ acts geometrically by type-preserving automorphisms on a building, then $G$ satisfies the weak Tits alternative, namely, that $G$ is either virtually abelian or contains a non-abelian free group.

The notion of a semitransitive binary action of a group $G$ on a topological space is introduced. A duality theorem is proved, establishing a bijective correspondence between semitransitive distributive binary $G$-spaces and topological…

In this paper, we define $C^1$-robust transitivity for actions of $\RR^2$ on closed connected orientable manifolds. We prove that if the ambient manifold is three dimensional and the dense orbit of a robustly transitive action is not…

For each finite classical group $G$, we classify the subgroups of $G$ which act transitively on a $G$-invariant set of subspaces of the natural module, where the subspaces are either totally isotropic or nondegenerate. Our proof uses the…

It is well known that if $G$ admits a f.g. subgroup $H$ with a weaklyaperiodic SFT (resp. an undecidable domino problem), then $G$itself has a weakly aperiodic SFT (resp. an undecidable domino problem).We prove that we can replace the…

Let G be a complex reductive Lie group acting on a compact K\"ahler manifold X and assume that the action of a maximal compact subgroup K of G is Hamiltonian. For each extreme point of the convex hull of the momentum map image, there is an…

We define the spherical Hecke algebra H for an almost split Kac-Moody group G over a local non-archimedean field. We use the hovel I associated to this situation, which is the analogue of the Bruhat-Tits building for a reductive group. The…

We consider Anosov actions of a Lie group $G$ of dimension $k$ on a closed manifold of dimension $k+n.$We introduce the notion of Nil-Anosov action of $G$ (which includes the case where $G$ is nilpotent) and establishes the invariance by…

We give an abstract definition of affine hovels which generalizes the definition of affine buildings (eventually non simplicial) given by Jacques Tits and includes the hovels built by Stephane Gaussent and the author for some Kac-Moody…

We prove that the automorphism group of a Cuntz algebra of finite order acts transitively on the set of pure states which are invariant under some gauge actions (which may depend on the states). The question of whether any pure state is…

Let $\Gamma$ be a group of type rotating automorphisms of a building $\cB$ of type $\widetilde A_2$, and suppose that $\Gamma$ acts freely and transitively on the vertex set of $\cB$. The apartments of $\cB$ are tiled by triangles, labelled…

We view a design $\mathcal{D}$ as a set of $k$-subsets of a fixed set $X$ of $v$ points. A $k$-subset of $X$ is at distance $i$ from $\mathcal{D}$ if it intersects some $k$-set in $\mathcal{D}$ in $k-i$ points, and no subset in more than…

The Lodha-Moore group $G$ first arose as a finitely presented counterexample to von Neumann's conjecture. The group $G$ acts on the unit interval via piecewise projective homemorphisms. A result of Lodha shows that $G$ in fact has type…

In this paper, we study a natural class of groups that act as affine transformations of $\mathbb T^N$. We investigate whether these solvable, "abelian-by-cyclic," groups can act smoothly and nonaffinely on $\mathbb T^N$ while remaining…

We prove that the action of the automorphism group of a building on its boundary is topologically amenable. The notion of boundary we use was defined in a previous paper \cite{CL}. It follows from this result that such groups have property…

We study profinite actions of residually finite groups in terms of weak containment. We show that two strongly ergodic profinite actions of a group are weakly equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. This allows us to construct…

The classical Gaussian functor associates to every orthogonal representation of a locally compact group $G$ a probability measure preserving action of $G$ called a Gaussian action. In this paper, we generalize this construction by…
