By previous work of Giordano and the author, ergodic actions of $\Z$ (and other discrete groups) are completely classified measure-theoretically by their dimension space, a construction analogous to the dimension group used in C*-algebras…
We consider a strictly developable simple complex of finite groups $G(\mathcal Q)$. We show that Bestvina's construction for Coxeter groups applies in this more general setting to produce a complex that is equivariantly homotopy equivalent…
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…
We establish finite nuclear dimension for crossed product C*-algebras arising from various classes of possibly non-free topological actions, including arbitrary actions of finitely generated virtually nilpotent groups on finite dimensional…
Given a simple Lie group G of rank 1, we consider compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M,g) of signature (p,q) on which G can act conformally. Precisely, we determine the smallest possible value for the index min(p,q) of the metric. When…
We compute the nuclear dimension of separable, simple, unital, nuclear, Z-stable C*-algebras. This makes classification accessible from Z-stability and in particular brings large classes of C*-algebras associated to free and minimal actions…
In this paper we consider discrete groups in ${\rm PGL}_d(\mathbb{R})$ acting convex co-compactly on a properly convex domain in real projective space. For such groups, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the group to be…
In this series of two articles, we prove that every action of a finite group $G$ on a finite and contractible $2$-complex has a fixed point. The proof goes by constructing a nontrivial representation of the fundamental group of each of the…
We establish a one-to-one correspondence between rational multiplicative group actions on an algebraic variety $X$ and derivations $\partial\colon K_X\to K_X$ of the field of fractions $K_X$ of $X$ satisfying that there exists a generating…
We classify compact homogeneous geometries of irreducible spherical type and rank at least 2 which admit a transitive action of a compact connected group, up to equivariant 2-coverings. We apply our classification to polar actions on…
For $\Cc$ a $G$-category, we give a condition on a diagram of simplicial sets indexed on $\Cc$ that allows us to define a natural $G$-action on its homotopy colimit, and in some other simplicial sets and categories defined in terms of the…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $\mathbb{G}_a$ be the additive group of $\mathbb{K}$. We say that an irreducible algebraic variety $X$ of dimension $n$ over the field $\mathbb{K}$ admits an…
For the right-angled Artin group action on the extension graph, it is known that the minimal asymptotic translation length is bounded above by 2 provided that the defining graph has diameter at least 3. In this paper, we show that the same…
We consider complex manifolds that admit actions by holomorphic transformations of classical simple real Lie groups and classify all such manifolds in a natural situation. Under our assumptions, which require the group at hand to be…
We identify natural symmetries of each rigid higher braided category. Specifically, we construct a functorial action by the continuous group $\Omega \mathsf{O}(n)$ on each $\mathcal{E}_{n-1}$-monoidal $(g,d)$-category $\mathcal{R}$ in which…
We show that for a locally free action of a simply connected nilpotent Lie group on a compact manifold, if every real valued cocycle is cohomologous to a constant cocycle, then the action is parameter rigid. The converse is true if the…
We survey some results and questions about free actions of infinite groups on products of spheres and euclidean spaces, and give some new co-compact examples.
We bound the nuclear dimension of crossed products associated to some partial actions of finite groups or $\mathbb{Z}$ on finite dimensional locally compact Hausdorff second countable spaces. Our results apply to globalizable partial…
This article gives an up-to-date account of the theory of discrete group actions on non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces. As an introduction of the motifs of this article, we begin by reviewing the current knowledge of possible global forms of…
Let a group $A$ act on the group $G$ coprimely. Suppose that the order of the fixed point subgroup $C_G(A)$ is not divisible by an arbitrary but fixed prime $p$. In the present paper we determine bounds for the $p$-length of the group $G$…
