We show that a negative Einstein manifold admitting a proper isometric action of a connected unimodular Lie group with compact, possibly singular, orbit space splits isometrically as a product of a symmetric space and a compact negative…

Let G be a group and let M be a CAT(0) proper metric space (e.g. a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature or a locally finite tree). Isometric actions of G on M are (by definition) points in the…

Many index theorems (both classical and in noncommutative geometry) can be interpreted in terms of a Lie groupoid acting properly on a manifold and leaving an elliptic family of pseudodifferential operators invariant. Alain Connes in his…

We consider a connected symplectic manifold $M$ acted on properly and in a Hamiltonian fashion by a connected Lie group $G$. Inspired to the recent paper \cite{gb2}, see also \cite{ch} and \cite{pacini}, we study Lagrangian orbits of…

Let G be a Lie groupoid over M such that the target-source map from G to M x M is proper. We show that, if O is an orbit of finite type (i.e. which admits a proper function with finitely many critical points), then the restriction G|U of G…

We characterize the universal covering of connected analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which admit a non-trivial and isometric action of the simple Lie group $SL(3,\mathbb{R})$ with a dense orbit preserving a finite volume. If such…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group acting effectively by isometries on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with nonempty fixed point set $Fix(M,G)$. We say that the action is \emph{fixed point homogeneous} if $G$ acts transitively on a normal…

Let $G\curvearrowright M$ be an isometric action of a Lie Group on a complete orientable Riemannian manifold. We disintegrate absolutely continuous measures with respect to the volume measure of $M$ along the principal orbits of…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group acting on a stable complex manifold $M$ with equivariant vector bundle $E$. Besides, suppose $\phi$ is an equivariant map from $M$ to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We can define some equivalence…

We study isometric Lie group actions on symmetric spaces admitting a section, i.e. a submanifold which meets all orbits orthogonally at every intersection point. We classify such actions on the compact symmetric spaces with simple isometry…

In the first part of this paper, we let $G$ be a finitely-generated amenable group such that $G/[G, G]$ is torsion-free. We suppose that $G$ acts by homeomorphisms homotopic to the identity on a manifold $M$, and give conditions on $M$…

We prove several versions of "quantization commutes with reduction" for circle actions on manifolds that are not symplectic. Instead, these manifolds possess a weaker structure, such as a spin^c structure. Our theorems work whenever the…

The main result of the paper is the complete classification of the compact connected Lie groups acting coisotropically on complex Grassmannians. This is used to determine the polar actions on the same manifolds.

Let $\text{Ham(M)}$ be the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of a quantizable, compact, symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. We prove the existence of an action integral around loops in $\text{Ham(M)}$, and determine the value of this…

After recalling basic definitions and constructions for a finite group $G$ action on a $k$-linear category we give a concise proof of the following theorem of Elagin: if $\mathcal{C} = \langle \mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B} \rangle$ is a…

We study reduction of generalized complex structures. More precisely, we investigate the following question. Let $J$ be a generalized complex structure on a manifold $M$, which admits an action of a Lie group $G$ preserving $J$. Assume that…

We study isometric actions of compact Lie groups on complete orientable positively curved $n$-manifolds whose orbit spaces have non-empty boundary in the sense of Alexandrov geometry. In particular, we classify quotients of the unit sphere…

Consider a proper, isometric action by a unimodular locally compact group $G$ on a Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary, such that $M/G$ is compact. For an equivariant, elliptic operator $D$ on $M$, and an element $g \in G$, we define a…

We prove that the action of a reductive complex Lie group on a K\"ahler manifold can be linearized in the neighbourhood of a fixed point, provided that the restriction of the action to some compact real form of the group is Hamiltonian with…
