We develop algorithms and computer programs which verify criteria of properness of discrete group actions on semisimple homogeneous spaces. We apply these algorithms to find new examples of non-virtually abelian discontinuous group actions…

Let $M$ be a finite volume analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold that admits an isometric $G$-action with a dense orbit, where $G$ is a connected non-compact simple Lie group. For low-dimensional $M$, i.e. $\dim(M) < 2\dim(G)$, when the…

This is a follow-up to a paper with the same title and by the same authors. In that paper, all groups were assumed to be abelian, and we are now aiming to generalize the results to nonabelian groups. The motivating point is Pedersen's…

We show that ergodic affine abelian discrete actions on the torus, that have a rank-one factor in their linear part, are locally rigid in a KAM sense if and only if the rank one factor is trivial and the action is higher-rank transversally…

We develop the concept of weak tracial Rokhlin property for finite group actions on simple (not necessarily unital) C*-algebras and study its properties systematically. In particular, we show that this property is stable under restriction…

We prove the rigidity of presymplectic actions of a compact semisimple Lie algebra on a presymplectic manifold of constant rank in the local and global case. The proof uses an abstract normal form theorem we had stated in a previous work,…

Group actions on a Smale space and the actions induced on the C*-algebras associated to such a dynamical system are studied. We show that an effective action of a discrete group on a mixing Smale space produces a strongly outer action on…

We introduce a notion of quasilinear parabolic equations over metric measure spaces. Under sharp structural conditions, we prove that local weak solutions are locally bounded and satisfy the parabolic Harnack inequality. Applications…

We give a number of examples of exotic actions of locally compact groups on separable nuclear C*-algebras. In particular, we give examples of the following: (1) Minimal effective actions of ${\mathbb{Z}}$ and $F_n$ on unital nonsimple prime…

If a nontrivial finite group coacts on a graded noetherian down-up algebra $A$ inner faithfully and homogeneously, then the fixed subring is not isomorphic to $A$. Therefore graded noetherian down-up algebras are rigid with respect to…

We show the local rigidity of complex hyperbolic lattices in classical Hermitian semisimple Lie groups, $SU(np,p), Sp(2n+2,\mathbb R), SO^*(2n+2), SO(2n,2)$. This reproves or generalizes some results in \cite{GM, KKP, Klingler-inv,…

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…

In this article we prove global rigidity results for hyperbolic actions of higher-rank lattices. Suppose $\Gamma$ is a lattice in semisimple Lie group, all of whose factors have rank $2$ or higher. Let $\alpha$ be a smooth $\Gamma$-action…

In this note, we study deformations of quaternionic hyperbolic lattices in larger quaternionic hyperbolic spaces and prove local rigidity results. On the other hand, surface groups are shown to be more flexible in quaternionic hyperbolic…

We study the local behavior of the elements of a specific energy class of functions, called the nonlocal parabolic ($p$-homogenous) De Giorgi class. First we carry on an analysis of their local boundedness under optimal tail conditions, and…

We study the regularity of a conjugacy $H$ between a hyperbolic toral automorphism $A$ and its smooth perturbation $f$ We show that if $H$ is weakly differentiable then it is $C^{1+H\"older}$ and, if $A$ is also weakly irreducible, then $H$…

We prove an operator algebraic superrigidity statement for homomorphisms of irreducible lattices, and also their commensurators, in certain higher-rank groups into unitary groups of finite factors. This extends the authors' previous work…

In this paper we prove a perturbative result for a class of $\mathbb Z^2$ actions on Heisenberg nilmanifolds, which have Diophantine properties. Along the way we prove cohomological rigidity and obtain a tame splitting for the cohomology…

We study the local behavior of weak solutions, with possible singularities, of nonlocal nonlinear equations. We first prove that sets of capacity zero are removable for weak solutions under certain integrability conditions. We then…

We prove a graded version of Alev-Polo's rigidity theorem: the homogenization of the universal enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra and the Rees ring of the Weyl algebras $A_n(k)$ cannot be isomorphic to their fixed subring under…
