Let G be a reductive group over C. Assume that the Lie algebra g of G has a given grading (g_j) indexed by a cyclic group Z/m such that g_0 contains a Cartan subalgebra of g. The subgroup G_0 of G corresponding to g_0 acts on the variety of…

Let N be an o-minimal structure. In this paper we develop group extension and group cohomology theory over N and use it to describe the N-definable solvable groups. We prove an o-minimal analogue of the Lie-Kolchin-Mal'cev theorem and we…

In this article, we generalize the theory of discrete Lagrangian mechanics and variational integrators in two principal directions. First, we show that Lagrangian submanifolds of symplectic groupoids give rise to discrete dynamical systems,…

Classical Bianchi-Lie, Backlund and Darboux transformations are considered. Their generalizations for the dynamical systems are discussed. For the transformation being the generalization of the normal shift the special class of dynamical…

We study the action of G = SL(2,R) on its type space S_G(R) where R denotes the field of real numbers. We identify a minimal closed G-flow I, and an idempotent r of I (with the respect to the Ellis semigroup structure * on I). We show that…

This article explores the novel notion of gyrogroup actions, which is a natural generalization of the usual notion of group actions. As a first step toward the study of gyrogroup actions from the algebraic viewpoint, we prove three…

Motivated by the notion of strong computable type for sets in computable analysis, we define the notion of strong computable type for $G$-shifts, where $G$ is a finitely generated group with decidable word problem. A $G$-shift has strong…

In this note, we describe first the structure of minimal non-Iwasawa finite groups. Then we determine the minimal non-Iwasawa finite groups which are modular. Also, we find connections between minimal non-Iwasawa finite groups and the…

We start by reviewing recent probabilistic results on ergodic sums in a large class of (non-uniformly) hyperbolic dynamical systems. Namely, we describe the central limit theorem, the almost-sure convergence to the gaussian and other stable…

We study properties of the Weyl pseudometric associated with an action of a countable amenable group on a compact metric space. We prove that the topological entropy and the number of minimal subsets of the closure of an orbit are both…

The paper gives a quick account of the simplest cases of the Hitchin integrable systems and of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard connection at genus 0, 1 and 2. In particular, we construct the action-angle variables of the genus 2 Hitchin…

Starting form a microscopic system-environment model, we construct a quantum dynamical semigroup for the reduced evolution of the open system. The difference between the true system dynamics and its approximation by the semigroup has the…

We prove that if the universal minimal flow of a Polish group $G$ is metrizable and contains a $G_\delta$ orbit $G \cdot x_0$, then it is isomorphic to the completion of the homogeneous space $G/G_{x_0}$ and show how this result translates…

H. Lin and the author introduced the notion of approximate conjugacy of dynamical systems. In this paper, we will discuss the relationship between approximate conjugacy and full groups of Cantor minimal systems. An analogue of…

We show that every uniformly recurrent subgroup of a locally compact group is the family of stabilizers of a minimal action on a compact space. More generally, every closed invariant subset of the Chabauty space is the family of stabilizers…

We introduce a general method to construct classes of dynamical systems invariant under generalizations of the Carroll and of the Galilei groups. The method consists in starting from a space-time in $D+1$ dimensions and partitioning it in…

We construct examples of minimal and uniquely ergodic systems realizing all possible behaviors in the interplay of measurable and topological nilfactors. To build such examples, we adapt an idea that stems from Furstenberg's construction of…

Let $G$ be a countable residually finite group (for instance $\mathbb{F}_2$) and let $\overleftarrow{G}$ be a totally disconnected metric compactification of $G$ equipped with the action of $G$ by left multiplication. For every $r\geq 1$ we…

Each continuous action of a countably infinite discrete group $\Gamma$ on a compact metrizable space X induces a continuous action of $\Gamma$ on the space M(X) of Borel probability measures on X. We compare the local entropy theory for…

Let $G$ be an additive finite abelian group. A sequence over $G$ is called a minimal zero-sum sequence if the sum of its terms is zero and no proper subsequence has this property. Davenport's constant of $G$ is the maximum of the lengths of…
