In this paper we consider a class of connected closed $G$-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each $M$ of which is totally non-homologous to zero in $M_G$ (or $G$-equivariantly formal), where $G={\Bbb Z}_2$. With the help of…

We study mean equicontinuous actions of locally compact $\sigma$-compact amenable groups on compact metric spaces. In this setting, we establish the equivalence of mean equicontinuity and topo-isomorphy to the maximal equicontinuous factor…

Let $X$ be a proper CAT($0$) space and $G$ a cocompact group of isometries of $X$ without fixed point at infinity. We prove that if $\partial X$ contains an invariant subset of circumradius $\pi/2$, then $X$ contains a quasi-dense, closed…

For Einstein manifolds with negative scalar curvature admitting an isometric action of a Lie group G with compact, smooth orbit space, we show the following rigidity result: The nilradical N of G acts polarly, and the N-orbits can be…

We introduce and study the notion of continuous orbit equivalence of actions of countable discrete groups on Cartan pairs in (twisted) groupoid context. We characterize orbit equivalence of actions in terms of the corresponding…

We consider fully effective orientation-preserving smooth actions of a given finite group G on smooth, closed, oriented 3-manifolds M. We investigate the relations that necessarily hold between the numbers of fixed points of various…

Let $X = G/\Gamma$ be a quotient of a real Lie group by a non-uniform lattice. Consider a one-parameter subgroup $F$ of $G$ that is $\operatorname{Ad}$-diagonalizable over $\mathbb{C}$ and whose action on $(X,m_X)$ is mixing. In this…

We establish some interactions between uniformly recurrent subgroups (URSs) of a group $G$ and cosets topologies $\tau_\mathcal{N}$ on $G$ associated to a family $\mathcal{N}$ of normal subgroups of $G$. We show that when $\mathcal{N}$…

We show that a homeomorphism of a semi-locally connected compact metric space is equicontinuous if and only if the distance between the iterates of a given point and a given subcontinuum (not containing that point) is bounded away from…

This paper proves that the two homotopy theories for orbispaces given by Gepner and Henriques and by Schwede, respectively, agree by providing a zig-zag of Dwyer-Kan equivalences between the respective topologically enriched index…

For a connected Lie group $G$ and an automorphism $T$ of $G$, we consider the action of $T$ on Sub$_G$, the compact space of closed subgroups of $G$ endowed with the Chabauty topology. We study the action of $T$ on Sub$^p_G$, the closure in…

We provide a systematic and in-depth study of compact group actions with the Rokhlin property. It is show that the Rokhlin property is generic in some cases of interest; the case of totally disconnected groups being the most satisfactory…

We prove that locally countably-compact Hausdorff topological groups $\mathbb{G}$ act continuously on their iterated joins $E_n\mathbb{G}:=\mathbb{G}^{*(n+1)}$ (the total spaces of the Milnor-model $n$-universal $\mathbb{G}$-bundles) as…

Equivariant indices have previously been defined in cases where either the group or the orbit space in question is compact. In this paper, we develop an equivariant index without assuming the group or the orbit space to be compact. This…

For a continuous action $G\curvearrowright X$ of a countable group on a compact metrizable space we show that the following are equivalent: (i) the action $G\curvearrowright X$ has the small boundary property and no finite orbits, (ii) for…

Let the compact torus $T^{n-1}$ act on a smooth compact manifold $X^{2n}$ effectively with nonempty finite set of fixed points. We pose the question: what can be said about the orbit space $X^{2n}/T^{n-1}$ if the action is cohomologically…

Recall that an effective circle action is semifree if the stabilizer subgroup of each point is connected. We show that if $(M, \om)$ is a coadjoint orbit of a compact Lie group $G$ then every element of $\pi_1(G)$ may be represented by a…

We introduce notions of continuous orbit equivalence and strong (respective, weak) continuous orbit equivalence for automorphism systems of \'{e}tale equivalence relations, and characterize them in terms of the semi-direct product…

In this article we study Whitney (B) regular stratified spaces with the action of a compact Lie group $G$ which preserves the strata. We prove an equivariant submersion theorem and use it to show that such a $G$-stratified space carries a…

Let $M$ be a finite volume analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold that admits an isometric $G$-action with a dense orbit, where $G$ is a connected non-compact simple Lie group. For low-dimensional $M$, i.e. $\dim(M) < 2\dim(G)$, when the…
