Given a group G, we construct, in a canonical way, an inverse semigroup S(G) associated to G. The actions of S(G) are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the partial actions of G, both in the case of actions on a set, and that of…

Many geometric learning problems require invariants on heterogeneous product spaces, i.e., products of distinct spaces carrying different group actions, where standard techniques do not directly apply. We show that, when a group $G$ acts…

In this paper, we consider the inverse Galois problem with described inertia behavior. For a finite group $G$, one of its subgroups $I$ and a prime integer $p$, we ask whether or not $G$ and $I$ can be realized as the Galois group and the…

Given a bounded valence, bushy tree T, we prove that any cobounded quasi-action of a group G on T is quasiconjugate to an action of G on another bounded valence, bushy tree T'. This theorem has many applications: quasi-isometric rigidity…

Let $(G,*)$ and $(G',\cdot)$ be groupoids. A bijection $f: G \rightarrow G'$ is called a half-isomorphism if $f(x*y)\in\{f(x)\cdot f(y),f(y)\cdot f(x)\}$, for any $ x, y \in G$. A half-isomorphism of a groupoid onto itself is a…

Given a partial action of a discrete group $G$ on a Hausdorff, locally compact, totally disconnected topological space $X$, we consider the correponding partial action of $G$ on the algebra $L_c(X)$ consisting of all locally constant,…

We prove the following to results: (1) A subgroup G of the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold M acts properly on M if and only if G is closed in the isometry group of M. (2) The orbits of an isometric action are closed if and only if…

Let $(A,G,\alpha)$ be a partial dynamical system and let $A\rtimes_{\alpha,r} G$ denote the associated reduced partial crossed product. In this article, we introduce the Haagerup property for partial actions of discrete groups on…

Given a finite alphabet $\Lambda$, and a not necessarily finite type subshift $X\subseteq \Lambda^\infty$, we introduce a partial action of the free group $F(\Lambda)$ on a certain compactification $\Omega_X$ of $X$, which we call the…

By an additive action on an algebraic variety $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$, we mean an action of the group $\mathbb{G}_a^n = \mathbb{C}^n $ on $X$ with an open orbit. We study limit points of one-dimensional subgroups of $\mathbb{G}_a^n$ for…

We present an action principle formulation for the study of motion of an extended body in General Relativity in the limit of weak gravitational field. This gives the classical equations of motion for multipole moments of arbitrary order…

This article explores the novel notion of gyrogroup actions, which is a natural generalization of the usual notion of group actions. As a first step toward the study of gyrogroup actions from the algebraic viewpoint, we prove three…

Let R be an affine PI-algebra over an algebraically closed field k and let G be an affine algebraic k-group that acts rationally by algebra automorphisms on R. For R prime and G a torus, we show that R has only finitely many G-prime ideals…

For actions with a dense orbit of a connected noncompact simple Lie group $G$, we obtain some global rigidity results when the actions preserve certain geometric structures. In particular, we prove that for a $G$-action to be equivalent to…

The motivation for this paper is to extend the known model theoretic treatment of differential Galois theory to the case of linear difference equations (where the derivative is replaced by an automorphism.) The model theoretic difficulties…

We study actions of finitely generated groups on $\bbR$-trees under some stability hypotheses. We prove that either the group splits over some controlled subgroup (fixing an arc in particular), or the action can be obtained by gluing…

We discuss properties of orbits of (semi)group actions on locally compact groups G. In particular, we show that if a compactly generated locally compact abelian group acts distally on G then the closure of each of its orbits is a minimal…

Let $\Gamma$ be a sub-semigroup of $G=GL(d,\mathbb R),$ $d>1.$ We assume that the action of $\Gamma$ on $\R^d$ is strongly irreducible and that $\Gamma$ contains a proximal and expanding element. We describe contraction properties of the…

The gauge dependence problem of the effective action for general gauge theories in the framework of a modified functional renormalization group approach proposed recently is studied. It is shown that the effective action remains…

This unpublished note contains some materials taken from my old study note on groupoids and small categories. It contains a proof for the fact that any groupoid is a group bundle over an equivalence relation. Moreover, the action of a…
