We study fixed points of smooth torus actions on closed manifolds using fixed point formulas and equivariant elliptic genera. We also give applications to positively curved Riemannian manifolds with symmetry.

We study certain actions of finitely generated abelian groups on higher dimensional noncommutative tori. Given a dimension $d$ and a finitely generated abelian group $G$, we apply a certain function to detect whether there is a simple…

We undertake a systematic study of irreducible affine isometric actions of locally compact groups on Hilbert spaces. It turns out that, while that are a few parallels of this study to the by now classical theory of irreducible unitary…

We show that a finitely generated group of analytic diffeomorphisms that is expanding and locally discrete in the analytic category is analytically conjugate to a uniform lattice of a finite covering of the group of projective maps of the…

In this article we discuss a possibility to implement a well-known scheme of proof for contraction mapping theorems in a situation, when convergence, families of Cauchy sequences, and contractiveness of mappings are defined axiomatically.…

We consider Abelian-by-cyclic groups for which the cyclic factor acts by hyperbolic automorphisms on the Abelian subgroup. We show that if such a group acts faithfully by $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of the closed interval with no global fixed…

This paper is concerned with the Laitinen Conjecture. The conjecture predicts an answer to the Smith question which reads as follows. Is it true that for a finite group acting smoothly on a sphere with exactly two fixed points, the tangent…

Fuglede's conjecture states that for a subset $\Omega$ of a locally compact abelian group $G$ with positive and finite Haar measure, there exists a subset of the dual group of $G$ which is an orthogonal basis of $L^{2}(\Omega)$ if and only…

Smith theory says that the fixed point of a semi-free action of a group $G$ on a contractible space is ${\bb Z}_p$-acyclic for any prime factor $p$ of $G$. Jones proved the converse of Smith theory for the case $G$ is a cyclic group acting…

In this paper we study analogues of amenability for topological groups in the context of definable structures. We prove fixed point theorems for such groups. More importantly, we propose definitions for definable actions and continuous…

In his study of amenable unitary representations, M. E. B. Bekka asked if there is an analogue for such representations of the remarkable fixed-point property for amenable groups. In this paper, we prove such a fixed-point theorem in the…

In this paper, we classify the fixed point data (weights and signs at the fixed points), of a circle action on a 6-dimensional compact oriented manifold with 4 fixed points. We prove that it agrees with that of a disjoint union of rotations…

In this paper we give an elementary proof of certain finiteness results about affine Kac-Moody groups over a local non-archimedian field K. Our results imply those proven earlier by Braverman-Kazhdan, Braverman-Finkelberg-Kazhdan and…

We establish a fixed-point theorem for the face maps that consist in deleting the $i$th entry of an ordered set. Furthermore, we show that there exists random finite sets of integers that are almost invariant under such deletions.…

We consider linear groups and Lie groups over a non-Archimedean local field $\mathbb F$ for which the power map $x\mapsto x^k$ has a dense image or it is surjective. We prove that the group of $\mathbb F$-points of such algebraic groups is…

Any compact surface supports a continuous action of the orientation preserving affine group of the real line which is fixed point free (Lima and Plante). It is generally admitted that this action can be taken smooth although it is not easy…

Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…

We prove the following generalisation of Schauder's fixed point conjecture: Let $C_1,...,C_n$ be convex subsets of a Hausdorff topological vector space. Suppose that the $C_i$ are closed in $C=C_1\cup...\cup C_n$. If $f:C\to C$ is a…

We organize fundamental properties of quasi-Hamiltonian spaces on which a finite group acts, and we apply them to the theory of moduli spaces of flat connections on an oriented compact surface with boundary.

In this paper, we discuss the existence of fixed points for integral type contractions in uniform spaces endowed with both a graph and an $E$-distance. We also give two sufficient conditions under which the fixed point is unique. Our main…
