This survey gives a unified treatment of topics from Abelian and non-Abelian Nielsen Theory integrated with the semiconjugacy theorems of Franks and Handel. The main focus is to develop an analog of the rotation set that is valid when the…
We study actions by lattices in higher-rank (semi)simple Lie groups on compact manifolds. By classifying certain measures invariant under a related higher-rank abelian action (the diagonal action on the suspension space) we deduce a number…
We show that there is a sequence of subsets of each discrete Heisenberg group for which the non-singular ergodic theorem holds. The sequence depends only on the group; it works for any of its non-singular actions. To do this we use a metric…
This paper is a survey of results proved in recent years that pertain to classifying cobounded hyperbolic actions of any group $G$. In other words, we discuss results that allow us to describe the partially ordered set $\mathcal{H}(G)$,…
We prove a theorem describing the limiting fine-scale statistics of orbits of a point in hyperbolic space under the action of a discrete subgroup. Similar results have been proved only in the lattice case, with two recent infinite-volume…
Let G be the Heisenberg group of real lower triangular 3x3 matrices with unit diagonal. A locally free smooth action of G on a manifold M^4 is given by linearly independent vector fields X_1, X_2, X_3 such that X_3 = [X_1,X_2] and [X_1,X_3]…
We study the acylindrical hyperbolicity of groups acting by isometries on CAT(0) cube complexes, and obtain simple criteria formulated in terms of stabilisers for the action. Namely, we show that a group acting essentially and…
In this paper we develop a theory of Patterson--Sullivan measures associated to coarse cocycles of convergence groups. This framework includes Patterson-Sullivan measures associated to the Busemann cocycle on the geodesic boundary of a…
We present a modern proof of some extensions of the celebrated Hirsch-Pugh-Shub theorem on persistence of normally hyperbolic compact laminations. Our extensions consist of allowing the dynamics to be an endomorphism, of considering the…
Motivated by constructing moduli spaces of unstable objects, we use new ideas in non-reductive GIT to construct quotients by parabolic group actions. For moduli problems with semistable moduli spaces constructed by reductive GIT, we…
We construct a smooth nontrivial mixed partially hyperbolic system and explicitly identify its skeleton. This example shares characteristics with the classical examples. Moreover, the support of each physical measure contains three fixed…
The aim of this paper is to generalize and improve two of the main model-theoretic results of "Stable group theory and approximate subgroups" by E. Hrushovski to the context of piecewise hyperdefinable sets. The first one is the existence…
Let $S$ be a rank-one symmetric space of non-compact type and let $X$ be a $\text{CAT}(-1)$ space. A well-known result by Bourdon states that if a topological embedding $\varphi: \partial_\infty S \rightarrow \partial_\infty X$ respects…
We prove several topological and dynamical properties of the boundary of a hierarchically hyperbolic group are independent of the specific hierarchically hyperbolic structure. This is accomplished by proving that the boundary is invariant…
We construct affine uniformly Lipschitz actions on $\ell^1$ and $L^1$ for certain groups with hyperbolic features. For acylindrically hyperbolic groups, our actions have unbounded orbits, while for residually finite hyperbolic groups and…
We give another proof that a reductive algebraic group is geometrically reductive. We show that a quotient of the semi-stable locus (by a linear action of a reductive algebraic group on a projective scheme) exists, and from this Haboush's…
We study the variety of actions of a fixed (Chevalley) group on arbitrary geodesic, Gromov hyperbolic spaces. In high rank we obtain a complete classification. In rank one, we obtain some partial results and give a conjectural picture.
In 1985 D.Sullivan had introduced a dictionary between two domains of complex dynamics: iterations of rational functions on the Riemann sphere and Kleinian groups. The latters are discrete subgroups of the group of conformal automorphisms…
Structural stability of piecewise M\"obius transformations (PMTs) is examined from various perspectives. A result concerning structural stability, restricted to the space of PMTs, is derived using hyperbolic characteristics of the component…
We prove homological stability for both general linear groups of modules over a ring with finite stable rank and unitary groups of quadratic modules over a ring with finite unitary stable rank. In particular, we do not assume the modules…
