Let $\Gamma$ be an irreducible lattice of $\Q$-rank $\geq 2$ in a semisimple Lie group of noncompact type. We prove that any action of $\Gamma$ on a $\CAT(0)$ cubical complex has a global fixed point.

We show that for any infinite countable group $G$ and for any free Borel action $G \curvearrowright X$ there exists an equivariant class-bijective Borel map from $X$ to the free part $\mathrm{Free}(2^G)$ of the $2$-shift $G \curvearrowright…

A minimal equicontinuous action by homeomorphisms of a discrete group $\Gamma$ on a Cantor set $X$ is locally quasi-analytic, if each homeomorphism has a unique extension from small open sets to open sets of uniform diameter on $X$. A…

We present a proof for certain cases of the noncommutative Borsuk-Ulam conjectures proposed by Baum, D\k{a}browski, and Hajac. When a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ admits a free action of $\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}$, $k \geq 2$, there is no…

Suppose that $(G,T)$ is a second countable locally compact transformation group given by a homomorphism $\ell:G\to\Homeo(T)$, and that $A$ is a separable continuous-trace \cs-algebra with spectrum $T$. An action $\alpha:G\to\Aut(A)$ is said…

We prove that, for a free action $\alpha \colon G \curvearrowright X$ of a countably infinite discrete amenable group on a compact metric space, the small boundary property is implied by uniform property $\Gamma$ of the Cartan subalgebra…

We prove that if a countable group $\Gamma$ contains infinite commuting subgroups $H, H'\subset \Gamma$ with $H$ non-amenable and $H'$ ``weakly normal'' in $\Gamma$, then any measure preserving $\Gamma$-action on a probability space which…

We show that, whenever Gamma is a countable abelian group and Delta is a finitely-generated subgroup of Gamma, a generic measure-preserving action of Delta on a standard atomless probability space (X,mu) extends to a free measure-preserving…

We show that every probability-measure-preserving action of a countable amenable group G can be tiled, modulo a null set, using finitely many finite subsets of G ("shapes") with prescribed approximate invariance so that the collection of…

The mapping class group $\Gamma$ of the complement of a Cantor set in the plane arises naturally in dynamics. We show that the ray graph, which is the analog of the complex of curves for this surface of infinite type, has infinite diameter…

Let $X$ be a compact metrizable group and $\Gamma$ a countable group acting on $X$ by continuous group automorphisms. We give sufficient conditions under which the dynamical system $(X,\Gamma)$ is surjunctive, i.e., every injective…

We show that any free product of two countable groups, one of them being infinite, admits a faithful and homogeneous action on the Random Graph. We also show that a large class of HNN extensions or free products, amalgamated over a finite…

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…

It is proved in $\mathsf{ZF}$ (without the axiom of choice) that, for all infinite sets $M$, there are no surjections from $\omega\times M$ onto $\mathscr{P}(M)$.

Let $G$ be a compact Hausdorff topological group acting on a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$. Within the $C^{*}$-algebra $C(X)$ of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, there is the Peter-Weyl algebra $\mathcal{P}_G(X)$…

Let $X$ be a set of cardinality $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^\omega=\kappa$. We prove that the linear algebra $\mathbb{R}^X$ (or $\mathbb{C}^X$) contains a free linear algebra with $2^\kappa$ generators. Using this, we prove several…

Let F be a field, G a finite group, and Map(G,F) the Hopf algebra of all set-theoretic maps G->F. If E is a finite field extension of F and G is its Galois group, the extension is Galois if and only if the canonical map resulting from…

In this paper, we study almost finiteness and almost finiteness in measure of non-free actions. Let $\alpha:G\curvearrowright X$ be a minimal action of a locally finite-by-virtually $\mathbb{Z}$ group $G$ on the Cantor set $X$. We prove…

A group $\Gamma$ is said to be finitely non-co-Hopfian, or renormalizable, if there exists a self-embedding $\varphi \colon \Gamma \to \Gamma$ whose image is a proper subgroup of finite index. Such a proper self-embedding is called a…

We show that every isometric action on a Cantor set is conjugate to an inverse limit of actions on finite sets; and that every isometric action by a finitely generated amenable group is residually finite.
