We consider endomorphism actions of arbitrary discrete semigroups on a connected metrizable topological group G. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for expansiveness of such actions when G is a Lie group or a compact…

We develop a method to bound the dynamic asymptotic dimension of isometric group actions $\Gamma\curvearrowright X$ in terms of the asymptotic dimension of a space of graphs similar to a box space of $\Gamma$ (which also determines…

The standard actions of finite groups on spheres S^d are linear actions, i.e. by finite subgroups of the orthogonal group O(d+1). We prove that, in each dimension d>5, there is a finite group G which admits a faithful, topological action on…

We investigate the dynamical property of the naive mean dimension for continuous actions of any countable group on compact metrizable spaces. It is shown that naive mean dimension serves as an upper bound of sofic mean dimension for actions…

We prove that if $G = G_1\times\dots\times G_n$ acts essentially, properly and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cube complex X, then the cube complex splits as a product. We use this theorem to give various examples of groups for which the minimal…

We consider finite groups which admit a faithful, smooth action on an acyclic manifold of dimension three, four or five (e.g. euclidean space). Our first main result states that a finite group acting on an acyclic 3- or 4-manifold is…

Let $G$ be a primitive permutation group acting on a finite set $X$. The orbital diameter $\mathrm{diam}(X,G)$ is defined to be the supremum of the diameters of the (connected) orbital graphs of $G$ after disregarding the directions of all…

We introduce dynamic asymptotic dimension, a notion of dimension for actions of discrete groups on locally compact spaces, and more generally for locally compact \'etale groupoids. We study our notion for minimal actions of the integer…

In this work the equivariant signature of a manifold with proper action of a discrete group is defined as an invariant of equivariant bordisms. It is shown that the computation of this signature can be reduced to its computation on fixed…

The distinguishing number $D(G,X)$ of an action of a group $G$ on a set $X$ is the least size of a partition of $X$ such that no element of $G$ acting nontrivially on $X$ preserves this partition. In this paper we describe the…

THEOREM. For every prime $p$ and each $n=2, 3, ... \infty$, there is an action of $G=\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}(Z/ pZ)$ on a two-dimensional compact metric space $X$ with $n$-dimensional orbit space. This theorem was proved in [DW: A.N.…
