A theorem of Glasner from 1979 shows that if $Y \subset \mathbb{T} = \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ is infinite then for each $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an integer $n$ such that $nY$ is $\epsilon$-dense. This has been extended in various works by…

Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be two $n$-dimensional smooth manifolds with boundary. Suppose we glue $M_1$ and $M_2$ along some boundary components (which are, therefore, diffeomorphic). Call the result $N.$ If we have a group $G$ acting continuously…

Every simply connected and connected solvable Lie group $G$ admits a simply transitive action on a nilpotent Lie group $H$ via affine transformations. Although the existence is guaranteed, not much is known about which Lie groups $G$ can…

We study compact connected pseudo-Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ on which the conformal group $\operatorname{Conf}(M,g)$ acts essentially and transitively. We prove, in particular, that if the non-compact semi-simple part of…

Differential invariants of a (pseudo)group action can vary when restricted to invariant submanifolds (differential equations). The algebra is still governed by the Lie-Tresse theorem, but may change a lot. We describe in details the case of…

We show that every irreducible, simply connected curve on a toric affine surface X over the field of complex numbers is an orbit closure of a multiplicative group action on X. It follows that up to the action of the automorphism group…

We define an infinite graded graph of ordered pairs and a~canonical action of the group $\mathbb{Z}$ (the adic action) and of the infinite sum of groups of order two~$\mathcal{D}=\sum_1^{\infty} \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ on the path space of…

We study equicontinuous actions of semisimple groups and some generalizations. We prove that any such action is universally closed, and in particular proper. We derive various applications, both old and new, including closedness of…

Every lattice H in a connected semi-simple Lie group G acts properly discontinuously by isometries on the contractible manifold G/K (K a maximal compact subgroup of G). We prove that if H acts on a contractible manifold W and if either 1)…

On a smooth closed oriented $4$-manifold $M$ with a smooth action by a compact Lie group $G$, we define a $G$-monopole class as an element of $H^2(M;\Bbb Z)$ which is the first Chern class of a $G$-equivariant Spin$^c$ structure which has a…

We define a model category structure on a slice category of simplicial spaces, called the "Segal group action" structure whose fibrant-cofibrant objects may be viewed as representing spaces $X$ with a coherent action of a given Segal group…

This survey gives an overview of three central algebraic themes related to the study of splines: duality, group actions, and homology. Splines are piecewise polynomial functions of a prescribed order of smoothness on some subdivided domain…

Let $A$ be a Lebesgue measure space. We interpret measures on $A\times A\times R_+$ as 'maps' from $A$ to $A$, which spread $A$ along itself; their Radon-Nikodym derivatives also are spread. We discuss basic properties of the semigroup of…

We generalise Atiyah and Hirzebruch's vanishing theorem for actions by compact groups on compact Spin-manifolds to possibly noncompact groups acting properly and cocompactly on possibly noncompact Spin-manifolds. As corollaries, we obtain…

Using the theory of group action, we first introduce the concept of the automorphism group of an exponential family or a graphical model, thus formalizing the general notion of symmetry of a probabilistic model. This automorphism group…

This paper constructs derived autoequivalences associated to an algebraic flopping contraction \(X\to X_{\con}, \) where \(X\) is quasi-projective with only mild singularities. These functors are constructed naturally using bimodule cones,…

In this paper, we discuss certain types of conformal/anticonformal actions of the generalized quasi-dihedral group $G_{n}$ of order $8n$, for $n\geq 2$, on closed Riemann surfaces, pseudo-real Riemann surfaces and compact Klein surfaces,…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\mathbb{Z}_p=\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$. We study finite groups with abelian derived subgroup and exponent $p$ in terms of group extension data and their matrix presentations. We show a one-to-one correspondence…

We study deformations of orbit closures for the action of a connected semisimple group $G$ on its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, especially when $G$ is the special linear group. The tools we use are on the one hand the invariant Hilbert scheme…

In this paper, we characterize the dynamic of every abelian subgroups $\mathcal{G}$ of GL($n$, $\mathbb{K}$), $\mathbb{K} = \mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. We show that there exists a $\mathcal{G}$-invariant, dense open set $U$ in…
