For a closed cocompact subgroup $\Gamma$ of a locally compact group $G$, given a compact abelian subgroup $K$ of $G$ and a homomorphism $\rho:\hat{K}\to G$ satisfying certain conditions, Landstad and Raeburn constructed equivariant…

We obtain a characterisation of confined subgroups of Thompson's group $F$. As a result, we deduce that orbital graph of a point under action of $F$ has uniformly subexponential growth if and only if this point is fixed by the commutator…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group acting isometrically on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with nonempty fixed point set $M^G$. We say that $M$ is fixed-point homogeneous if $G$ acts transitively on a normal sphere to some component of $M^G$.…

We construct by geometric methods a noncommutative model E of the algebra of regular functions on the universal (2-fold) cover M of certain nilpotent coadjoint orbits O for a complex simple Lie algebra g. Here O is the dense orbit in the…

On a real ($\mathbb F=\mathbb R$) or complex ($\mathbb F=\mathbb C$) analytic connected 2-manifold $M$ with empty boundary consider two vector fields $X,Y$. We say that $Y$ {\it tracks} $X$ if $[Y,X]=fX$ for some continuous function…

We study the topological dynamics of the action of the diagonal subgroup on quotients Gamma\PSL(2,R)*PSL(2,R), where Gamma is an irreducible lattice. Closed orbits are described and a set of points of dense orbit is explicitly given. Such…

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g\geq 1$, furnished with an area form $\omega$. We show that there exists an open and dense set ${\mathcal O_r}$ of the space of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of class $C^r$, $1\leq r\leq\infty$, endowed…

We prove that if $G\subset\text{Diff}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ is an Abelian subgroup generated by a family of commuting diffeomorphisms of the plane, all of which are $C^{1}$-close to the identity in the strong $C^{1}$-topology, and if there…

Given a lattice \Gamma in a locally compact group G and a closed subgroup H of G, one has a natural action of \Gamma on the homogeneous space V=H\G. For an increasing family of finite subsets {\Gamma_T: T>0}, a dense orbit v\Gamma, v\in V,…

Let $G$ be a complex simply-connected semisimple Lie group and let $\frak{g}= Lie G$. Let $\frak{g} = \frak{n}_- +\frak{h} + \frak{n}$ be a triangular decomposition of $\frak{g}$. One readily has that $Cent\,U({\frak n})$ is isomorphic to…

We introduce the concept of F-decomposable systems, well-ordered inverse systems of Hausdorff compacta with fully closed bonding mappings. A continuous mapping between Hausdorff compacta is called fully closed if the intersection of the…

Let G be a finitely generated group having the property that any action of any finite-index subgroup of G by homeomorphisms of the circle must have a finite orbit. (By a theorem of E.Ghys, lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank at least…

The density property for a Stein manifold X implies that the group of holomorphic diffeomorphisms of X is infinite-dimensional and, in a certain well-defined sense, as large as possible. We prove that if G is a complex semisimple Lie group…

We show that if $X$ is a complete metric space with uniform relative normal structure and $G$ is a subgroup of the isometry group of $X$ with bounded orbits, then there is a point in $X$ fixed by every isometry in $G$. As a corollary, we…

We investigate the question of whether or not the orbit of a point in A/Q, under the natural action of a subset S of Q, is dense in A/Q. We prove that if the set S is a multiplicative semigroup which contains at least two multiplicatively…

Let $X$ be a locally symmetric space $\Gamma\backslash G/K$ where $G$ is a connected non-compact semisimple real Lie group with trivial centre, $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of $G$, and $\Gamma\subset G$ is a torsion-free irreducible…

We construct a consistent example of a topological space $Y=X \cup \{\infty\}$ such that: 1) $Y$ is regular. 2) Every $G_\delta$ subset of $Y$ is open. 3) The point $\infty$ is not isolated, but it is not in the closure of any discrete…

Let G be a complex reductive Lie group acting on a compact K\"ahler manifold X and assume that the action of a maximal compact subgroup K of G is Hamiltonian. For each extreme point of the convex hull of the momentum map image, there is an…

We consider the subgroup of points of finite orbit through the action of an endomorphism of a virtually free group, with particular emphasis on the subgroup of eventually fixed points, EvFix($\varphi$): points whose orbit contains a fixed…

Let $G$ be a unipotent group and $\mathcal F=\{F_t:t\in (0,\infty)\}$ a family of subsets of $G$, with $\mathcal F$ definable in an o-minimal expansion of the real field. Given a lattice $\Gamma\subseteq G$, we study the possible Hausdorff…
