We prove that if $G$ is a finitely generated group and $Z$ is a uniformly recurrent subgroup of $G$ then there exists a minimal system $(X,G)$ with $Z$ as its stability system. This answers a query of Glasner and Weiss \cite{GW} in the case…

We consider a version of the notion of F-inverse semigroup (studied in the algebraic theory of inverse semigroups). We point out that an action of such an inverse semigroup on a locally compact space has associated a natural groupoid…

We study topological groups $G$ for which the universal minimal $G$-system $M(G)$, or the universal irreducible affine $G$-system $IA(G)$ are tame. We call such groups intrinsically tame and convexly intrinsically tame. These notions are…

We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…

Let $M$ be a maximal globally hyperbolic Cauchy compact flat spacetime of dimension 2+1, admitting a Cauchy hypersurface diffeomorphic to a compact hyperbolic manifold. We study the asymptotic behaviour of level sets of quasi-concave time…

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…

Using the analytic assembly map that appears in the Baum-Connes conjecture in noncommutative geometry, we generalise the $\Spin^c$-version of the Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture that `quantisation commutes with reduction' to (discrete series…

Let K be a compact Lie group and G its complexification. For a not necessarily reduced Stein K-space X we show that there is a complex space Z endowed with a holomorphic action of the universal complexification G of K that contains X as an…

An Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is an Engel element precisely when we…

It is solved a problem of construction of separately continuous functions on the product of compacts with a given discontinuity points set. We obtaine the following results. 1. For arbitrary \v{C}ech complete spaces $X$, $Y$ and a separable…

Let $G$ be a multiplicative finite group and $S=a_1\cdot\ldots\cdot a_k$ a sequence over $G$. We call $S$ a product-one sequence if $1=\prod_{i=1}^ka_{\tau(i)}$ holds for some permutation $\tau$ of $\{1,\ldots,k\}$. The small Davenport…

If $K$ is a closed subgroup of a compact group $G$, the probability that randomly chosen pair of elements from $K$ and $G$ commute is denoted by $Pr(K,G)$. Say that a subgroup $K\leq G$ is $\epsilon$-central in $G$ if $Pr(\langle g…

For a real reductive group G, the center $\mathfrak{z}(\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g}))$ of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of G acts on the space of distributions on G. This action proved to be very useful (see…

We study universal properties of locally compact G-spaces for countable infinite groups G. In particular we consider open invariant subsets of the \beta-compactification of G (which is a G-space in a natural way), and their minimal closed…

We continue our study of the outer Pinsker factor for probability measure-preserving actions of sofic groups. Using the notion of doubly quenched convergence developed by Austin, we prove that in many cases the outer Pinsker factor of a…

Furstenberg and Glasner proved that for an arbitrary k in N, any piecewise syndetic set contains k term arithmetic progression and such collection is also piecewise syndetic in Z. They used algebraic structure of beta N. The above result…

The main result of this paper is to show that if $\H$ is a normal subgroup of a Kleinian group $G$ such that $G/\H$ contains a coset which is represented by some loxodromic element, then the Hausdorff dimension of the transient limit set of…

Let $G$ be a totally disconnected, locally compact group and let $H$ be an equicontinuously (for example, compactly) generated group of automorphisms of $G$. We show that every distal action of $H$ on a coset space of $G$ is a SIN action,…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center. Let $\Gamma \subset G$ be a discrete subgroup. We study closed admissible irreducible subrepresentations of the space of distributions $\mathcal S(\Gamma \backslash G)'$…

A subset $S$ of a topological gyrogroup $G$ is said to be a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S$ is discrete, the gyrogroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, and $S\cup \{0\}$ is closed in $G$, where $0$ is the identity element of $G$. In this…
