Bredon cohomology is a cohomology theory that applies to topological spaces equipped with the group actions. For any group G, given a real linear representation V , the configuration space of V has a natural diagonal G-action. In the paper…
We classify compact homogeneous geometries of irreducible spherical type and rank at least 2 which admit a transitive action of a compact connected group, up to equivariant 2-coverings. We apply our classification to polar actions on…
Deformation spaces Hom($\pi$,G)/G of representations of the fundamental group $\pi$ of a surface $\Sigma$ in a Lie group $G$ admit natural actions of the mapping class group $Mod_\Sigma$, preserving a Poisson structure. When $G$ is compact,…
We show that contact reductions can be described in terms of symplectic reductions in the traditional Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer as well as the constant rank picture. The point is that we view contact structures as particular (homogeneous)…
We study the action of a real reductive group $G$ on a real submanifold $X$ of a Kahler manifold $Z$. We suppose that the action of a compact connected Lie group $U$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{u}$ extends holomorphically to an action of…
For any finite group $G$, we define the notion of a Bredon homotopy action of $G$, modelled on the diagram of fixed point sets $(X_H)_{H\leq G}$ for a $G$-space $X$, together with a pointed homotopy action of the group $N_{G}H/H$ on…
This is an overview of Erlangen Programme at Large. Study of objects and properties, which are invariant under a group action, is very fruitful far beyond the traditional geometry. In this paper we demonstrate this on the example of the…
We study geometric rigidity of a class of fractals, which is slightly larger than the collection of self-conformal sets. Namely, using a new method, we shall prove that a set of this class is contained in a smooth submanifold or is totally…
Focus of this study is to explore some aspects of mathematical foundations for using complex manifolds as a model for space-time. More specifically, certain equations of motions have been derived as a Projective geodesic on a real manifold…
These are introductory notes on some aspects of concentration of measure in the presence of an acting group and its links to Ramsey theory.
In the framework of shape constrained estimation, we review methods and works done in convex set estimation. These methods mostly build on stochastic and convex geometry, empirical process theory, functional analysis, linear programming,…
A survey of finite group actions on symplectic 4-manifolds is given with a special emphasis on results and questions concerning smooth or symplectic classification of group actions, group actions and exotic smooth structures, and…
The purpose of this note is twofold. First, we survey results on the construction of large class groups of number fields by specialization of finite covers of curves. Then we give examples of applications of these techniques.
We investigate compact Kahler manifolds, which are acted on by a semisimple compact Lie group G of isometries with one hypersurface orbit. In case of ordinary action and projectable complex structure, we set up a one to one correspondence…
This is a survey article devoted to the study of real structures on complex algebraic varieties endowed with a reductive group action.
In this paper we characterize spaces of $L^\infty$-functions on a compact Hausdorff space that are invariant under a transitive and continuous group action. This work generalizes the author's 2021 results concerning the specific case of…
In this paper we extend the research on potential theory and its geometric applications from Euclidean spaces to homogeneous Carnot groups. We introduce a new approach to use the geometric completeness to estimate the Hausdorff dimension of…
Several problems in number theory when reformulated in terms of homogenous dynamics involve study of limiting distributions of translates of algebraically defined measures on orbits of reductive groups. The general non-divergence and…

The action dimension of a group G is the minimal dimension of a contractible manifold that G acts on properly discontinuously. We show that if G acts properly and cocompactly on a thick Euclidean building, then the action dimension is…
