Using the canonical JSJ splitting, we describe the outer automorphism group $\Out(G)$ of a one-ended word hyperbolic group $G$. In particular, we discuss to what extent $\Out(G)$ is virtually a direct product of mapping class groups and a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense Anosov subgroup of a connected semisimple real algebraic group $G$. For a maximal horospherical subgroup $N$ of $G$, we show that the space of all non-trivial $NM$-invariant ergodic and $A$-quasi-invariant…

Let M denote either Euclidean or hyperbolic n-space, and let G be a discrete group of isometries of M, with the property that G respects and acts tile-transitively on a convex-polyhedral tesselation of M. Given an arbitrary base point p in…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real algebraic group and $\Gamma$ a Zariski dense Anosov subgroup of $G$ with respect to a minimal parabolic subgroup $P$. Let $N$ be the maximal horospherical subgroup of $G$ given by the unipotent radical…

For actions with a dense orbit of a connected noncompact simple Lie group $G$, we obtain some global rigidity results when the actions preserve certain geometric structures. In particular, we prove that for a $G$-action to be equivalent to…

We investigate the action of the automorphism group of an acylindrically hyperbolic group G on its space of homogeneous quasimorphisms, and identify its kernel with the subgroup of "strongly commensurating" automorphisms. We deduce that if…

Using tools from the theory of optimal transport, we establish several results concerning isometric actions of amenable topological groups with potentially unbounded orbits. Specifically, suppose $d$ is a compatible left-invariant metric on…

We establish that particular quotients of the non-commutative Hardy algebras carry ergodic actions of convergent discrete subgroups of the group $\operatorname*{SU}(n,1)$ of automorphisms of the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}% ^{n}$. To do so, we…

We prove that for any countable acylidrically hyperbolic group $G$, there exists a generating set $S$ of $G$ such that the corresponding Cayley graph $\Gamma(G,S)$ is hyperbolic, $|\partial\Gamma(G,X)|>2$, the natural action of $G$ on…

Given a complete Gromov hyperbolic space $X$ that is roughly starlike from a point $\omega$ in its Gromov boundary $\partial_{G}X$, we use a Busemann function based at $\omega$ to construct an incomplete unbounded uniform metric space…

If $X$ is a geodesic metric space and $x_{1},x_{2},x_{3} \in X$, a geodesic triangle $T=\{x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}\}$ is the union of the three geodesics $[x_{1}x_{2}]$, $[x_{2}x_{3}]$ and $[x_{3}x_{1}]$ in $X$. The space $X$ is…

Consider an ergodic non-singular action $\Gamma \cc B$ of a countable group on a probability space. The type of this action codes the asymptotic range of the Radon-Nikodym derivative, also called the {\em ratio set}. If $\Gamma \cc X$ is a…

We establish central limit theorems for an action of a group G on a hyperbolic space X with respect to the counting measure on a Cayley graph of G. Our techniques allow us to remove the usual assumptions of properness and smoothness of the…

The goal of this article is two-fold: in a first part, we prove Azuma-Hoeffding type concentration inequalities around the drift for the displacement of non-elementary random walks on hyperbolic spaces. For a proper hyperbolic space $M$, we…

We prove a new weak mean ergodic theorem (Theorem A) for 1-cocycles associated to weakly mixing representations of amenable groups. Let $G$ be a finitely generated, discrete, amenable group $G$ which admits a controlled Folner sequence. We…

We prove mean and pointwise ergodic theorems for general families of averages on a semisimple algebraic (or S-algebraic) group G, together with an explicit rate of convergence when the action has a spectral gap. Given any lattice in G, we…

This paper is devoted to a systematic study of the geometry of nondegenerate $\bbR^n$-actions on $n$-manifolds. The motivations for this study come from both dynamics, where these actions form a special class of integrable dynamical systems…

For finitely supported random walks on finitely generated groups $G$ we prove that the identity map on $G$ extends to a continuous equivariant surjection from the Martin boundary to the Floyd boundary, with preimages of conical points being…

The purpose of this paper is to study the action of the mapping class group on the moduli space of representations of the fundamental group of a non-orientable surface into SU(2). The action is shown to be ergodic with respect to a natural…
