We study under which condition an amalgamated free product or an HNN-extension over a finite subgroup admits an amenable, transitive and faithful action on an infinite countable set. We show that such an action exists if the initial groups…

We consider endomorphism actions of arbitrary discrete semigroups on a connected metrizable topological group G. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for expansiveness of such actions when G is a Lie group or a compact…

Let $R$ be a commutative $k-$algebra over a field $k$. Assume $R$ is a noetherian, infinite, integral domain. The group of $k-$automorphisms of $R$,i.e.$Aut_k(R)$ acts in a natural way on $(R-k)$.In the first part of this article, we study…

We prove that every action of a finite group all of whose Sylow subgroups are cyclic on the K-theory of a Kirchberg algebra can be lifted to an action on the Kirchberg algebra. The proof uses a construction of Kirchberg algebras…

We prove that if a group $G$ admits a virtually special action on a CAT(0) cube complex, then any product of convex-cocompact subgroups of $G$ is separable. Previously, this was only known for products of three subgroups, or in the case…

We build quasi--isometry invariants of relatively hyperbolic groups which detect the hyperbolic parts of the group; these are variations of the stable dimension constructions previously introduced by the authors. We prove that, given any…

For a positive integer $k$, a group $G$ is said to be totally $k$-closed if for each set $\Omega$ upon which $G$ acts faithfully, $G$ is the largest subgroup of $\mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ that leaves invariant each of the $G$-orbits in the…

Let X be a rational nonsingular compact connected real algebraic surface. Denote by Aut(X) the group of real algebraic automorphisms of X. We show that the group Aut(X) acts n-transitively on X, for all natural integers n. As an application…

A group action on the input ring or category induces an action on the algebraic $K$-theory spectrum. However, a shortcoming of this naive approach to equivariant algebraic $K$-theory is, for example, that the map of spectra with $G$-action…

For a hyperbolic toral automorphism, we construct a profinite completion of an isomorphic copy of the homoclinic group of its right action using isomorphic copies of the periodic data of its left action. The resulting profinite group has a…

Let $1\to (K,K_1)\to (G,N_G(K_1))\to(Q,Q_1)\to 1$ be a short exact sequence of pairs of finitely generated groups with $K$ strongly hyperbolic relative to proper subgroup $K_1$. Assuming that for all $g\in G$ there exists $k\in K$ such that…

We call a graph $k$-geodetic, for some $k\geq 1$, if it is connected and between any two vertices there are at most $k$ geodesics. It is shown that any hyperbolic group with a $k$-geodetic Cayley graph is virtually-free. Furthermore, in…

For finitely generated groups $G$ and $H$ equipped with word metrics, a translation-like action of $H$ on $G$ is a free action where each element of $H$ moves elements of $G$ a bounded distance. Translation-like actions provide a geometric…

It is known that there are precisely three transitive permutation groups of degree $6$ that admit an invariant partition with three parts of size $2$ such that the kernel of the action on the parts has order $4$; these groups are called…

Some groups of real analytic diffeomorphism act n-transitively for each finite n.

Two subgroups H and K are 4-permutable in G if <H,K> = HKHK, and H is strong 4-quasinormal in G if H is 4-permutable with every subgroups K of G. A finite group G is called Sq4T-group if strong 4-quasinormality is transitive relation among…

Every simply connected and connected solvable Lie group $G$ admits a simply transitive action on a nilpotent Lie group $H$ via affine transformations. Although the existence is guaranteed, not much is known about which Lie groups $G$ can…

Free groups are known to be homogeneous, meaning that finite tuples of elements which satisfy the same first-order properties are in the same orbit under the action of the automorphism group. We show that virtually free groups have a…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of $S_n$, the symmetric group of degree $n$. For any field $k$, $G$ acts naturally on the rational function field $k(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n)$ via $k$-automorphisms defined by $\sigma\cdot x_i=x_{\sigma(i)}$ for any…

Let $G$ be a finite group acting on $k(x_1,...,x_n)$, the rational function field of $n$ variables over a field $k$. The action is called a purely monomial action if $\sigma...x_j=\prod_{1\le i\le n} x_i^{a_{ij}}$ for all $\sigma \in G$,…
