We prove that a locally nilpotent group $G$ of $C^{1}$ diffeomorphisms of a compact surface $S$ of non-vanishing Euler characteristic has a finite orbit ${\mathcal O}$ whose cardinal is bounded by above by a function of the characteristic…
Let G be a compact Lie group and let X be an oriented Witt G-pseudomanifold. Using intersection cohomology it is possible to define Sign(G,X) in R(G), the G-signature of X. Let g be an element in G. Assuming that the inclusion of the fixed…
In this second part we prove that, if $G$ is one of the groups $\mathrm{PSL}_2(q)$ with $q>5$ and $q\equiv 5\pmod {24}$ or $q\equiv 13 \pmod{24}$, then the fundamental group of every acyclic $2$-dimensional, fixed point free and finite…
We generalise the Atiyah-Segal-Singer fixed point theorem to noncompact manifolds. Using $KK$-theory, we extend the equivariant index to the noncompact setting, and obtain a fixed point formula for it. The fixed point formula is the…
Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…
Let $k$ be a finitely generated field, let $X$ be an algebraic variety and $G$ a linear algebraic group, both defined over $k$. Suppose $G$ acts on $X$ and every element of a Zariski-dense semigroup $\Gamma \subset G(k)$ has a rational…
The main result of this paper is that all affine isometric actions of higher rank Steinberg groups over commutative rings on uniformly convex Banach spaces have a fixed point. We consider Steinberg groups over classical root systems and our…
For a finite group $G$ not of prime power order, Oliver (1996) has answered the question which manifolds occur as the fixed point sets of smooth actions of $G$ on disks (resp., Euclidean spaces). We extend Oliver's result to compact (resp.,…
In this paper, we first introduce and study the notion of random Chebyshev centers. Further, based on the recently developed theory of stable sets, we introduce the notion of random complete normal structure so that we can prove the two…
We propose a fixed-point property for group actions on cones in topological vector spaces. In the special case of equicontinuous actions, we prove that this property always holds; this statement extends the classical Ryll-Nardzewski theorem…
We prove a local-to-global result for fixed points of groups acting on affine buildings (possibly non-discrete) of types $\tilde{A}_2$ or $\tilde{C}_2$. In the discrete case, our theorem establishes the corresponding special cases of a…
We introduce the Lax-Kirchhoff moduli space associated with a finite quiver $\Gamma$ and a compact connected Lie group $G$. On each oriented edge we consider the Lax equation $\dot{A}_1 + [A_0, A_1] = 0$ and impose a Kirchhoff-type matching…
We prove that if a geodesically complete $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ space $X$ admits a proper cocompact isometric action of a group, then the Izeki-Nayatani invariant of $X$ is less than $1$. Let $G$ be a finite connected graph, $\mu_1 (G)$ be the…
Given an action of a Compact Quantum Group (CQG) on a finite dimensional Hilbert space, we can construct an action on the associated Cuntz algebra. We study the fixed point algebra of this action, using Kirchberg classification results.…
Given an action by a finite quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ on a von Neumann algebra $M$, we prove that a number of familiar $W^*$ properties are equivalent for $M$ and the fixed-point algebra $M^{\mathbb{G}}$ (i.e. hold or not simultaneously…
We analzye Rieffel's construction of generalized fixed point algebras in the setting of group actions on Hilbert modules. Let G be a locally compact group acting on a C*-algebra B. We construct a Hilbert module F over the reduced crossed…
We generalize the fixed-point property for discrete groups acting on convex cones given by Monod in \cite{monod} to topological groups. At first, we focus on describing this fixed-point property from a functional point of view, and then we…
If $X$ is a smooth manifold and ${\mathcal{G}}$ is a subgroup of $Diff(X)$ we say that $(X,{\mathcal{G}})$ has the almost fixed point property if there exists a number $C$ such that for any finite subgroup $G\leq{\mathcal{G}}$ there is some…
We exhibit invariants of smooth projective algebraic varieties with integer values, whose nonvanishing modulo p prevents the existence of an action without fixed points of certain finite p-groups. The case of base fields of characteristic p…
We consider fully effective orientation-preserving smooth actions of a given finite group G on smooth, closed, oriented 3-manifolds M. We investigate the relations that necessarily hold between the numbers of fixed points of various…
