Let Phi : M --> g^* be a proper moment map associated to an action of a compact connected Lie group, G, on a connected symplectic manifold, (M,\omega). A collective function is a pullback via \Phi of a smooth function on g^*. In this paper…

We consider group actions of topological groups on C*-algebras of the types which occur in many physics models. These are singular actions in the sense that they need not be strongly continuous, or the group need not be locally compact. We…

We provide a systematic and in-depth study of compact group actions with the Rokhlin property. It is show that the Rokhlin property is generic in some cases of interest; the case of totally disconnected groups being the most satisfactory…

Let $G$ be a totally disconnected, locally compact (t.d.l.c.) group. The scale $s_G(g)$ of $g \in G$ in the sense of Willis is given by the minimum value of the index $|gUg^{-1}:U \cap gUg^{-1}|$ as $U$ ranges over the compact open…

Let $G$ be the group of orientation-preserving isometries of a rank-one symmetric space $X$ of non-compact type. We study local rigidity of certain actions of a solvable subgroup $\Gamma \subset G$ on the boundary of $X$, which is…

Let a countable amenable group $G$ act on a \zd\ compact metric space $X$. For two clopen subsets $\mathsf A$ and $\mathsf B$ of $X$ we say that $\mathsf A$ is \emph{subequivalent} to $\mathsf B$ (we write $\mathsf A\preccurlyeq \mathsf…

Consider a smooth, locally free, codimension-one action of a higher-rank, simple, split Lie group $G$ on a closed manifold $M$. Let $P$ be a minimal parabolic subgroup of $G$. If the action admits a $P$-invariant probability measure that is…

In this paper we restrict ourselves to the particular case where the pseudogroup is $\Gamma \ltimes G$ given by the action of a dense subgroup $\Gamma$ of a Lie group $G$ acting on $G$ by left translations. For a Riemannian foliation $F$ on…

Let $G_{\P}$ be a compact simple Poisson-Lie group equipped with a Poisson structure $\P$ and $(M, \o)$ be a symplectic manifold. Assume that $M$ carries a Poisson action of $G_{\P}$ and there is an equivariant moment map in the sense of Lu…

We extend a theorem by Kleiner, stating that on a group with polynomial growth, the space of harmonic functions of polynomial of at most $k$ is finite dimensional, to the settings of locally compact groups equipped with measures with…

We prove various results that, given a sufficiently rich subgroup $G$ of the group of homeomorphisms on the real line, describe the structure of the other possible actions of $G$ on the line, and address under which conditions such actions…

Given a locally compact Polish space X, a necessary and sufficient condition for a group G of homeomorphisms of X to be the full isometry group of (X,d) for some proper metric d on X is given. It is shown that every locally compact Polish…

Let A be a dense Frechet *-subalgebra of a C*-algebra B. (We do not require Frechet algebras to be m-convex.) Let G be a Lie group, not necessarily con- nected, which acts on both $A$ and B by *-automorphisms, and let \s be a sub-…

An isometric compact group action $G \times (M,g) \rightarrow (M,g)$ is called polar if there exists a closed embedded submanifold $\Sigma \subseteq M$ which meets all orbits orthogonally. Let $\Pi$ be the associated generalized Weyl group.…

This article studies connections between group actions and their corresponding vector spaces. Given an action of a group $G$ on a nonempty set $X$, we examine the space $L(X)$ of scalar-valued functions on $X$ and its fixed subspace: $$…
