For an endomorphism $s:V\rightarrow V$ of a finite dimensional complex vector space and an action of a torus $T$ on the full flag variety $\text{GL}_n({\mathbb C})/B$, we give a description of its fixed point set when $s$ is semisimple or…

If $G$ is a group acting on a tree $X$, and ${\mathcal S}$ is a $G$-equivariant sheaf of vector spaces on $X$, then its compactly-supported cohomology is a representation of $G$. Under a finiteness hypothesis, we prove that if $H_c^0(X,…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. We prove that if $V$ and $W$ are orthogonal $G$-representations such that $V^G=W^G=\{0\}$, then a $G$-equivariant map $S(V) \to S(W)$ exists provided that $\dim V^H \leq \dim W^H$ for any closed subgroup…

We consider a Hamiltonian action of n-dimensional torus, T^n, on a compact symplectic manifold (M,\omega) with d isolated fixed points. For every fixed point p there exists (though not unique) a class a_p in H^*_{T}(M; Q) such that the…

This note constitutes a brief survey of our recent work on the problem of determining, for a given real Lie group~$G$, the set of representations~$V$ in which the longest element~$w_0$ of the restricted Weyl group~$W$ acts nontrivially on…

Suppose that an algebraic torus $G$ acts algebraically on a projective manifold $X$ with generically trivial stabilizers. Then the Zariski closure of the set of pairs $\{(x,y)\in X\times X\mid y=gx \text{for some}g\in G\}$ defines a nonzero…

Let $G$ be a noncompact semisimple algebraic group with trivial center, $S < G$ a maximal split torus, $H < G$ the centralizer of $S$ in $G$ and $\Gamma < G$ an irreducible lattice. Consider the group measure space von Neumann algebra…

In this paper, for any Milnor hypersurface we find the largest dimension of effective algebraic torus actions on it. The proof of the corresponding theorem is based on the computation of the automorphism group for any Milnor hypersurface.…

We consider a fixed free and proper action of a locally compact group $G$ on a space $T$, and actions $\alpha:G\to \Aut A$ on $C^*$-algebras for which there is an equivariant embedding of $(C_0(T),\rt)$ in $(M(A),\alpha)$. A recent theorem…

We show that if G is a discrete group which does not have the Haagerup property but does have an unbounded cocycle into a C_0 representation and if G acts on a finite von Neumann algebra B such that the inclusion B \subset (B \rtimes G) has…

For a cyclic group $A$ and a connected Lie group $G$ with an $A$-module structure (with the additional conditions that $G$ is compact and the $A$-module structure on $G$ is 1-semisimple if $A\cong\ZZ$), we define the twisted Weyl group…

For a flag manifold $M=G/B$ with the canonical torus action, the $T-$equivariant cohomology is generated by equivariant Schubert classes, with one class $\tau_u$ for every element $u$ of the Weyl group $W$. These classes are determined by…

In this paper, we study Hamiltonian R-actions on symplectic orbifolds [M/S], where R and S are tori. We prove an injectivity theorem and generalize Tolman-Weitsman's proof of the GKM theorem in this setting. The main example is the…

Let W be the Weyl group of a crystallographic root system acting on the associated weight lattice by reflections. In the present notes we extend the notion of an exponent of the W-action introduced in [Baek-Neher-Zainoulline,…

Let the groupoid $G$ with unit space $G^0$ act via a representation $\rho$ on a $C^*$-correspondence ${\mathcal H}$ over the $C_0(G^0)$-algebra $A$. By the universal property, $G$ acts on the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra ${\mathcal O}_{\mathcal…

A fundamental result in toric topology identifies the cohomology ring of the moment-angle complex $\mathcal{Z}_K$ associated to a simplicial complex $K$ with the Koszul homology of the Stanley--Reisner ring of $K$. By studying cohomology…

Let $G$ be a profinite group, $X$ a discrete $G$-spectrum with trivial action, and $X^{hG}$ the continuous homotopy fixed points. For any $N \trianglelefteq_o G$ ("$o$" for open), $X = X^N$ is a $G/N$-spectrum with trivial action. We…

Let $G$ be a compact group, let $\mathcal{B}$ be a unital C$^*$-algebra, and let $(\mathcal{A},G,\alpha)$ be a free C$^*$-dynamical system, in the sense of Ellwood, with fixed point algebra $\mathcal{B}$. We prove that…
