Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a connected open Riemann surface $X$ by holomorphic automorphisms and acting on a Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n$ $(n\ge 3)$ by orthogonal transformations. We identify a necessary and sufficient condition…

Let $G$ be a real linear semisimple algebraic group without compact factors and $\Gamma$ a Zariski dense subgroup of $G$. In this paper, we use a probabilistic counting in order to study the asymptotic properties of $\Gamma$ acting on the…

We introduce a flow that is designed to flow maps $u:\Sigma\to \mathbb{R}^n$ which map the boundary of a general domain surface $\Sigma$ into a given (not necessarily connected) submanifold $N\hookrightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ towards a free…

A measure preserving action of a countably infinite group \Gamma is called totally ergodic if every infinite subgroup of \Gamma acts ergodically. For example, all mixing and mildly mixing actions are totally ergodic. This note shows that if…

In this paper, we show that the action of a characteristically simple, non-extremely amenable (non-strongly amenable, non-amenable) group on its universal minimal (minimal proximal, minimal strongly proximal) flow is effective. We present…

For an abelian group $\Gamma$, a graph $G$ is said to be $\Gamma$-flow-critical if $G$ does not admit a nowhere-zero $\Gamma$-flow, but for each edge $e\in E(G)$, the contraction $G/e$ has a nowhere-zero $\Gamma$-flow. A bound on the…

A Polish group $G$ has the generic point property if any minimal $G$-flow admits a comeager orbit, or equivalently if the universal minimal flow (UMF) does. The class $\mathsf{GPP}$ of such Polish groups is a proper extension of the class…

For a convergence group equipped with an expanding coarse-cocycle, we construct finitely generated free subsemigroups, which we call $\textit{Bishop--Jones}$ $\textit{semigroups}$, of critical exponent arbitrarily close to but strictly less…

The first part of these notes give an introduction to the theory of Polish group actions on compact Hausdorff spaces, leading up to a proof of the Kechris-Pestov-Todorcevic correspondence and discussions of properties of universal minimal…

In this paper we study the dynamics of Bernoulli flows and their subflows over general countable groups from the symbolic and topological perspectives. We study free subflows (subflows in which every point has trivial stabilizer), minimal…

A countable group \Gamma is called shift-minimal if every non-trivial measure preserving action of \Gamma weakly contained in the Bernoulli shift of \Gamma on ([0,1]^\Gamma ,\lambda ^\Gamma) is free. We show that any group \Gamma whose…

Given a free-by-cyclic group $G = F_N \rtimes_\varphi \mathbb{Z}$ determined by any outer automorphism $\varphi \in \mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ which is represented by an expanding irreducible train-track map $f$, we construct a $K(G,1)$ $2$-complex…

Consider a finite connected $2$-complex $X$ endowed with a piecewise Riemannian metric and whose fundamental group is freely indecomposable, of rank at least $3$, and in which every $2$-generated subgroup is free. In this paper we show that…

It is a well-known fact, that the greatest ambit for a topological group $G$ is the Samuel compactification of $G$ with respect to the right uniformity on $G.$ We apply the original destription by Samuel from 1948 to give a simple…

Let X be a symmetric space of noncompact type and \Gamma a lattice in the isometry group of X. We study the distribution of orbits of \Gamma acting on the symmetric space X and its geometric boundary X(\infty). More precisely, for any y in…

When $G$ is a Polish group, metrizability of the universal minimal flow has been shown to be a robust dividing line in the complexity of the topological dynamics of $G$. We introduce a class of groups, the CAP groups, which provides a neat…

Let $G$ be an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group defined over a number field $k$, and let $S$ be a finite set of places of $k$ including all infinite places. Let $X$ be the product over $v\in S$ of the symmetric spaces…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group, $H$ a lcsc totally disconnected group and $\rho : \Gamma \rightarrow H$ a homomorphism with dense image. We develop a general and explicit technique which provides, for every compact open subgroup…

We construct the first example of a Zariski-dense, discrete, non-lattice subgroup $\Gamma_0$ of a higher rank simple Lie group $G$, which is non-tempered in the sense that the quasi-regular representation $L^2(\Gamma_0\backslash G)$ is…

In this paper it is proved that near a compact, invariant, proper subset of a continuous flow on a compact, connected metric space, at least one, out of twenty eight relevant dynamical phenomena, will necessarily occur. This result shows…
