This is a survey on upper and lower bounds for finite group actions on bounded surfaces, 3-dimensional handlebodies and closed handles, handlebodies in arbitrary dimensions and finite graphs (the common feature of these objects is that all…

We prove that for every finitely generated hyperbolic group $G$, the action of $G$ on its Gromov boundary induces a hyperfinite equivalence relation.

We introduce dynamic asymptotic dimension, a notion of dimension for actions of discrete groups on locally compact spaces, and more generally for locally compact \'etale groupoids. We study our notion for minimal actions of the integer…

We prove a topological stability result for the actions of hyperbolic groups on their Bowditch boundaries. More precisely, we show that a sufficiently small perturbation of the standard boundary action, if assumed on each parabolic subgroup…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a connected symplectic manifold on which a connected Lie group $G$ acts properly and in a Hamiltonian fashion with moment map $\mu:M \lra \mf g^*$. Our purpose is investigate multiplicity-free actions, giving criteria to…

We characterize rational actions of the additive group on algebraic varieties defined over a field of characteristic zero in terms of a suitable integrability property of their associated velocity vector fields. This extends the classical…

Let $\Sigma_{g,p}$ be the genus--$g$ oriented surface with $p$ punctures, with either $g>0$ or $p>3$. We show that $MCG(\Sigma_{g,p})/DT$ is acylindrically hyperbolic where $DT$ is the normal subgroup of the mapping class group…

We construct affine uniformly Lipschitz actions on $\ell^1$ and $L^1$ for certain groups with hyperbolic features. For acylindrically hyperbolic groups, our actions have unbounded orbits, while for residually finite hyperbolic groups and…

We show that the (topological) full group of a minimal pseudogroup over the Cantor set satisfies various rigidity phenomena of topological dynamical and combinatorial nature. Our main result applies to its possible homomorphisms into other…

We give a diameter bound for fundamental domains for isometric actions of the fundamental group of a closed hyperbolic surface on a delta-hyperbolic space, where the bound depends on the hyperbolicity constant delta, the genus of the…

We prove that the topological complexity of a finite index subgroup of a hyperbolic group is linear in its index. This follows from a more general result relating the size of the quotient of a free cocompact action of hyperbolic group on a…

We provide an algebraic characterization of transitive, finite-dimensional algebraic Lie pseudogroups (or $\mathcal{D}$-groupoids) that are algebraic integrable, that is, isogenous to the action groupoid of an algebraic group action. Our…

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group whose decomposition into a product of simple components does not contain simple groups of type $A$, and $P\subseteq G$ be a parabolic subgroup. Extending the results of Popov [7], we enumerate all…

We establish sufficient conditions for the C$^*$-simplicity of two classes of groups. The first class is that of groups acting on trees, such as amalgamated free products, HNN-extensions, and their normal subgroups; for example normal…

We prove several topological and dynamical properties of the boundary of a hierarchically hyperbolic group are independent of the specific hierarchically hyperbolic structure. This is accomplished by proving that the boundary is invariant…

We introduce the property of having good subgroups for actions of countable discrete groups on compact metrizable spaces, and show that it implies comparison when the acting group is amenable. As a consequence, free actions on…

We present obstruction results for self-similar groups regarding the generation of free groups. As a main consequence of our main results, we solve an open problem posed by Grigorchuk by showing that in an automaton group where a…

Let $G$ be a 1-connected, almost-simple Lie group over a local field and $\mathcal{S}$ a subsemigroup of $G$ with non-empty interior. The action of the regular hyperbolic elements in the interior of $\mathcal{S}$ on the flag manifold $G/P$…

A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…

In this article we prove that the set of torsion-free groups acting by isometries on a hyperbolic metric space whose entropy is bounded above and with a compact quotient is finite. The number of such groups can be estimated in terms of the…
