We prove that the invariably generating graph of a finite group can have an arbitrarily large number of connected components with at least two vertices.

Let G be a finitely generated infinite pro-p group acting on a pro-p tree such that the restriction of the action to some open subgroup is free. Then we prove that G splits as a pro-p amalgamated product or as a pro-p HNN-extension over an…

By combining R{\o}rdam's construction and the author's previous construction, we provide the first examples of amenable actions of non-amenable groups on simple separable nuclear C*-algebras that are neither stably finite nor purely…

We prove that if a subgroup $H$ of the automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(\Sigma^{\mathbb{Z}})$ of a non-trivial full shift acts on points of finite support with a free orbit, then for every finitely-generated abelian group $A$, the abstract…

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.…

In this article we construct asynchronous and sometimes synchronous automatic structures for amalgamated products and HNN extensions of groups that are strongly asynchronously (or synchronously) coset automatic with respect to the…

We show that the independence number of a countably infinite HH-homogeneous graph that does not contain the Rado graph as a spanning subgraph is finite and present a classification of MB-homogeneous graphs up to bimorphism-equivalence as a…

This article studies a structural aspect of measure-preserving actions of products of countable discrete groups, involving a so-called 'synergodic decomposition' in terms of the ergodic components of the actions of the two factor groups. We…

This paper deals with graph automaton groups associated with trees and some generalizations. We start by showing some algebraic properties of tree automaton groups. Then we characterize the associated semigroup, proving that it is…

We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…

We prove sharp limit theorems on random walks on graphs with values in finite groups. We then apply these results (together with some elementary algebraic geometry, number theory, and representation theory) to finite quotients of lattices…

We study the automorphism groups attached to a free algebra with multiple, possibly infinitely many, composition laws. As an application, we prove that the automorphism group of finitely generated vertex algebras over noetherian rings are…

For every prime $p$ it is shown that a wide class of HNN extensions of free abelian groups admit faithful representation by finite $p$-automata.

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a connected symplectic manifold on which a connected Lie group $G$ acts properly and in a Hamiltonian fashion with moment map $\mu:M \lra \mf g^*$. Our purpose is investigate multiplicity-free actions, giving criteria to…

We show that amenability of a group acting by homeomorphisms can be deduced from a certain local property of the action and recurrency of the orbital Schreier graphs. This covers amenability of a wide class groups, the amenability of which…

We study equicontinuous actions of semisimple groups and some generalizations. We prove that any such action is universally closed, and in particular proper. We derive various applications, both old and new, including closedness of…

We show that given a finitely generated LERF group $G$ with positive rank gradient, and finitely generated subgroups $A,B \leq G$ of infinite index, one can find a finite index subgroup $B_0$ of $B$ such that $[G : \langle A \cup B_0…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We construct a non-abelian extension $\Gamma$ of $S^1$ by $Z/p \times Z/p$, and prove that any finite subgroup of $\Gamma$ acts freely and smoothly on $S^{2p-1} \times S^{2p-1}$. In particular, for each odd prime…

We study the actions of a Lie group $G$ by birationally extendible automorphisms on a domain $D\subset C^n$. For a large class of such domains defined by polynomial inequalities, all automorphisms are of this type. In the cases 1) $G$ has…

A near permutation of a set is a bijection between two cofinite subsets, modulo coincidence on smaller cofinite subsets. Near permutations of a set form its near symmetric group. In this monograph, we define near actions as homomorphisms…
