We prove that groups acting boundedly and order-primitively on linear orders or acting extremly proximality on a Cantor set (the class including various Higman-Thomson groups and Neretin groups of almost automorphisms of regular trees, also…

Let $K$ be a non-archimedean local field with residue field of characteristic $p$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a two-generator subgroup $G$ of ${\rm PSL_2}(K)$ to be discrete, where either $K=\mathbb{Q}_p$ or $G$…

We generalize the notion of isoperimetric profiles of finitely generated groups to their actions by measuring the boundary of finite subgraphings of the orbit graphing. We prove that like the classical isoperimetric profiles for groups,…

We construct p.m.p. group actions that are not local-global limits of sequences of finite graphs. Moreover, they do not weakly contain any sequence of finite labeled graphs. Our methods are based on the study of almost automorphisms of…

The local Markov condition for a DAG to be an independence map of a probability distribution is well known. For DAGs with latent variables, represented as bi-directed edges in the graph, the local Markov property may invoke exponential…

For a connected Lie group $G$, we study the dynamics of actions of automorphisms of $G$ on certain compact invariant subspaces of closed subgroups of $G$ in terms of distality and expansivity. We show that only the finite order…

Let G be a finite graph or an infinite graph on which Z^d acts with finite fundamental domain. If G is finite, let T be a random spanning tree chosen uniformly from all spanning trees of G; if G is infinite, known methods show that this…

The paper is concerned with the space of the marked Schreier graphs of the Grigorchuk group and the action of the group on this space. In particular, we describe an invariant set of the Schreier graphs corresponding to the action on the…

In this paper we study CAT(0) groups and their splittings as graphs of groups. For one-ended CAT(0) groups with isolated flats we prove a theorem characterizing exactly when the visual boundary is locally connected. This characterization…

Symplectic slice theorems elucidate the local structure of symplectic manifolds carrying Hamiltonian actions of compact Lie groups. We generalize these theorems in two natural settings. The first is based on the idea that complex reductive…

In this paper, we study the geometric property (T) for discretized warped cones of an action on a compact Lie group $M$ by its finitely generated subgroup. We show that if a subgroup $G$ is dense in $M$, then the associated discretized…

Topologically and geometrically engaging actions have proved to be useful to obtain rigidity results for semisimple Lie group actions. We show that the action of a simple noncompact Lie group on a compact manifold preserving a unimodular…

The paper investigates two invariants for totally disconnected locally compact groups: the number of ends and the rational discrete cohomological dimension. For such a compactly generated group $G$ it is shown that its number of ends can be…

We investigate invariant random subgroups in groups acting on rooted trees. Let $\mathrm{Alt}_f(T)$ be the group of finitary even automorphisms of the $d$-ary rooted tree $T$. We prove that a nontrivial ergodic IRS of $\mathrm{Alt}_f(T)$…

We study the ramification theory for actions involving group schemes, focusing on the tame ramification. We consider the notion of tame quotient stack introduced in [AOV] and the one of tame action introduced in [CEPT]. We establish a local…

We study cocompact lattices with dense projections in a product $G_1 \times G_2$ of locally compact groups and show, under the assumption that each $G_i$ is a closed subgroup of the automorphism group $Aut(T_i)$ of a regular tree satisfying…

We identify natural conditions for a countable group acting on a countable tree which imply that the orbit equivalence relation of the induced action on the Gromov boundary is Borel hyperfinite. Examples of this condition include…

In this paper we relate the study of actions of discrete groups over connected manifolds to that of their orbit spaces seen as differentiable stacks. We show that the orbit stack of a discrete dynamical system on a simply connected manifold…

Motivated by the problem of finding a "well-foundedness principle" for totally disconnected, locally compact (t.d.l.c.) groups, we introduce a class $\mathscr{E}^{\mathscr{S}}$ of t.d.l.c. groups, containing P. Wesolek's class $\mathscr{E}$…

In 2000, Marc Burger and Shahar Mozes introduced universal groups acting on trees. Such groups provide interesting examples of totally disconnected locally compact groups. Intuitively, these are the largest groups for which all local…
