In this note, we study the general form of a multiplicative bijection on several families of functions defined on manifolds, both real or complex valued. In the real case, we prove that it is essentially defined by a composition with a…

In this paper we consider a bootstrap class $\mathfrak C$ of countable discrete groups, which is closed under countable unions and extensions by the integers, and we study actions of such groups on C*-algebras. This class includes all…

Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group acting on a space $X$, let $\mu$ be a compactly supported measure on $G$, and let $A$ be a strongly irreducible linear cocycle over the action of $G$. We then have a random walk on $X$, and let $T$ be the…

Anosov diffeomorphisms on closed Riemannian manifolds are a type of dynamical systems exhibiting uniform hyperbolic behavior. Therefore their properties are intensively studied, including which spaces allow such a diffeomorphism. It is…

Path and boundary-path groupoids of finitely aligned higher-rank graphs are often constructed using either filters or graph morphisms. We generalise the graph morphism approach to finitely aligned P-graphs where (Q, P) is a weakly…

We associate with every locally expanding self-covering $f:M\to M$ of a compact path connected metric space a finitely presented group $V_f$. We prove that this group is a complete invariant of the dynamical system: two groups $V_{f_1}$ and…

Let $M$ be a connected 1-manifold, i.e., $M = \R \cong (0, 1), [0, 1), [0, 1]$, or $S^1$, and let $\Homeo_+(M)$ (resp. $\Diff_+^1(M)$) be the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms (resp. $C^1$ diffeomorphisms) of $M$. It is a…

Enhanced gauge symmetry appears in Type II string theory (as well as F- and M-theory) compactified on Calabi--Yau manifolds containing exceptional divisors meeting in Dynkin configurations. It is shown that in many such cases, at enhanced…

According to the classical Plante-Thurston Theorem, all nilpotent groups of $C^2$-diffeomorphisms of the closed interval are Abelian. Using techniques coming from the works of Denjoy and Pixton, Farb and Franks constructed a faithful action…

We introduce two notions of algebraic entropy for actions of cancellative right amenable semigroups $S$ on discrete abelian groups $A$ by endomorphisms; these extend the classical algebraic entropy for endomorphisms of abelian groups,…

Topologically and geometrically engaging actions have proved to be useful to obtain rigidity results for semisimple Lie group actions. We show that the action of a simple noncompact Lie group on a compact manifold preserving a unimodular…

We study the geometry and dynamics of discrete infinite covolume subgroups of higher rank semisimple Lie groups. We introduce and prove the equivalence of several conditions, capturing "rank one behavior'' of discrete subgroups of higher…

This paper gives a construction of braid group actions on the derived category of coherent sheaves on a variety $X$. The motivation for this is Kontsevich's homological mirror conjecture, together with the occurrence of certain braid group…

An important question is to describe topological conjugacy classes of dynamical systems. Here we show that within the space of real analytic one-dimensional maps with critical points of prescribed order, the conjugacy class of a map is a…

In the first part of this paper, we formulate a general setting in which to study the ergodic theory of differentiable $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions preserving a Borel probability measure. This framework includes actions by $C^{1+\text{H\"older}}$…

We define a semidirect product groupoid of a system of partially defined local homeomorphisms $T=(T_{1},..., T_{r})$. We prove that this construction gives rise to amenable groupoids. The associated algebra is a Cuntz-like algebra. We use…

We prove that every expansive continuous action with the weak specification property of an amenable group $G$ on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ has the Myhill property, i.e., every pre-injective continuous self-mapping of $X$ commuting with…

We provide a unifying approach which links results on algebraic actions by Lind and Schmidt, Chung and Li, and a topological result by Meyerovitch that relates entropy to the set of asymptotic pairs. In order to do this we introduce a…

We define the action of a locally compact group $G$ on a topological graph $E$. This action induces a natural action of $G$ on the $C^*$-correspondence ${\mathcal H}(E)$ and on the graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$. If the action is free and…

For a locally compact metrizable group $G$, we consider the action of ${\rm Aut}(G)$ on ${\rm Sub}_G$, the space of all closed subgroups of $G$ endowed with the Chabauty topology. We study the structure of groups $G$ admitting automorphisms…
