We classify all locally finite joinings of a horospherical subgroup action on \Gamma \ G when \Gamma is a Zariski dense geometrically finite subgroup of G=PSL_2(R) or PSL_2(C). This generalizes Ratner's 1983 joining theorem for the case…
Let $G$ be a connected simple linear Lie group of rank one, and let $\Gamma <G$ be a discrete Zariski dense subgroup admitting a finite Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure $m^{\operatorname{BMS}}$. We show that the right translation action of…
We investigate analogues of some of the classical results in homogeneous dynamics in non-linear setting. Let $G$ be a closed subgroup of the group of automorphisms of a biregular tree and $\Gamma<G$ a discrete subgroup. For a large class of…
Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real algebraic group and $\Gamma<G$ be its Zariski dense discrete subgroup. We prove that if $\Gamma\backslash G$ admits any finite Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure, then $\Gamma$ is virtually a product of…
Consider homogeneous G/H and G/F, for an S-algebraic group G. A lattice {\Gamma} acts on the left strictly conservatively. The following rigidity results are obtained: morphisms, factors and joinings defined apriori only in the measurable…
Finite rank median spaces are a simultaneous generalisation of finite dimensional ${\rm CAT}(0)$ cube complexes and real trees. If $\Gamma$ is an irreducible lattice in a product of rank one simple Lie groups, we show that every action of…
Let $G$ be the group of orientation-preserving isometries of a rank-one symmetric space $X$ of non-compact type. We study local rigidity of certain actions of a solvable subgroup $\Gamma \subset G$ on the boundary of $X$, which is…
Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a connected simple real algebraic group $G_1$. We discuss a rigidity problem for discrete faithful representations $\rho:\Gamma\to G_2$ and a surprising role played by higher rank…
The problem of equivariant rigidity is the $\Gamma$-homeomorphism classification of $\Gamma$-actions on manifolds with compact quotient and with contractible fixed sets for all finite subgroups of $\Gamma$. In other words, this is the…
The end compactification |\Gamma| of the locally finite graph \Gamma is the union of the graph and its ends, endowed with a suitable topology. We show that \pi_1(|\Gamma|) embeds into a nonstandard free group with hyperfinitely many…
We introduce the space of infinite volume ends of a locally compact second countable (lcsc) space that admits a Radon measure. In certain cases, this coincides with the classical space of ends. Consider a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of a…
A locally compact group $G$ is a cocompact envelope of a group $\Gamma$ if $G$ contains a copy of $\Gamma$ as a discrete and cocompact subgroup. We study the problem that takes two finitely generated groups $\Gamma,\Lambda$ having a common…
Let $G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group by an arithmetic lattice. We show that for reductive subgroups $H$ of $G$ that is large enough, the orbits of $H$ on $G/\Gamma$ intersect nontrivially with a fixed compact set. As a…
Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense Anosov subgroup of a connected semisimple real algebraic group $G$. For a maximal horospherical subgroup $N$ of $G$, we show that the space of all non-trivial $NM$-invariant ergodic and $A$-quasi-invariant…
Let $\Gamma$ be a group and $r_n(\Gamma)$ the number of its $n$-dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function $\calz_\Gamma(s) = \suml^\infty_{n=1} r_n(\Gamma)n^{-s}$. When…
Let $\Gamma \stackrel{i}{\hookrightarrow} L$ be a lattice in the real simple Lie group $L$. If $L$ is of rank at least 2 (respectively locally isomorphic to $Sp(n,1)$) any unbounded morphism $\rho: \Gamma \longrightarrow G$ into a simple…
We consider symmetric random walks on discrete, Zariski-dense subgroups $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$ with Property (T). We prove that if $\Gamma$ has infinite covolume, then the associated hitting measure on the Furstenberg…
In this article, we establish results concerning the cohomology of Zariski dense subgroups of solvable linear algebraic groups. We show that for an irreducible solvable $\mathbb{Q}$-defined linear algebraic group $\mathbf{G}$, there exists…
Let $X$ be a set and let $S$ be an inverse semigroup of partial bijections of $X$. Thus, an element of $S$ is a bijection between two subsets of $X$, and the set $S$ is required to be closed under the operations of taking inverses and…
Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski-dense subgroup of a reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ defined over a field $F$. Given a finite collection of finite subgroups $H_i$ ($i \in I$) of $\mathbf{G}(F)$ avoiding the center, we establish a criterion to ensure…
