We consider a finitely generated group acting minimally on a compact space by homeomorphsims, and assume that the Schreier graph of at least one orbit is quasi-isometric to a line. We show that the topological full group of such an action…

We establish rigidity for partial transformation groupoids associated with algebraic actions of semigroups: If two such groupoids (satisfying appropriate conditions) are isomorphic, then the globalizations of the initial algebraic actions…

We introduce a new class of locally compact groups, namely the strongly compactly covered groups, which are the Hausdorff topological groups $G$ such that every element of $G$ is contained in a compact open normal subgroup of $G$. For…

Any finite set of linear operators on an algebra $A$ yields an operator algebra $B$ and a module structure on A, whose endomorphism ring is isomorphic to a subring $A^B$ of certain invariant elements of $A$. We show that if $A$ is a…

Let L be a Lie group and Lambda a lattice in L. Suppose G is a non-compact simple Lie group realized as a Lie subgroup of L, and the image of G on L/Lambda is dense. Let c be a diagonalizable element of G not contained in a compact…

We consider actions of real Lie subgroups G of complex reductive Lie groups on Kaehlerian spaces. Our main result is the openness of the set of semistable points with respect to a momentum map and the action of G.

We define the notion of action of an L-infinity algebra $g$ on a graded manifold $M$, and show that such an action corresponds to a homological vector field on $g[1] \times M$ of a specific form. This generalizes the correspondence between…

We extend to the context of algebraic groups a classic result on extensions of abstract groups relating the set of isomorphism classes of extensions of $G$ by $H$ with that of extensions of $G$ by the center $Z$ of $H$. The proof should be…

We give a sufficient condition for a symbolic topological dynamical system with action of a countable amenable group to be an extension of the full shift, a problem analogous to those studied by Ashley, Marcus, Johnson and others for…

A dynamical system is a pair $(X,G)$, where $X$ is a compact metrizable space and $G$ is a countable group acting by homeomorphisms of $X$. An endomorphism of $(X,G)$ is a continuous selfmap of $X$ which commutes with the action of $G$. One…

For a locally compact metrizable group $G$, we study the action of $\rm Aut(G)$ on $\rm Sub_G$, the set of closed subgroups of $G$ endowed with the Chabauty topology. Given an automorphism $T$ of $G$, we relate the distality of the…

We associate a 2-complex to the following data: a presentation of a semigroup $S$ and a transitive action of $S$ on a set $V$ by partial transformations. The automorphism group of the action acts properly discontinuously on this 2-complex.…

We prove an entropy formula for certain expansive actions of a countable discrete residually finite group $\Gamma $ by automorphisms of compact abelian groups in terms of Fuglede-Kadison determinants. This extends an earlier result proved…

A K3 surface $X$ over a $p$-adic field $K$ is said to have good reduction if it admits a proper smooth model over the ring of integers of $K$. Assuming this, we say that a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ is extendable if $X$ admits a…

Given a partial action $\alpha=(A_g,\alpha_g)_{g\in \mathcal{G}}$ of a connected groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ on a ring $A$ and an object $x$ of $\mathcal{G}$, the isotropy group $\mathcal{G}(x)$ acts partially on the ideal $A_x$ of $A$ by the…

Let G be an algebraic group over a complete separable valued field k. We discuss the dynamics of the G-action on spaces of probability measures on algebraic G-varieties. We show that the stabilizers of measures are almost algebraic and the…

We study actions of connected algebraic groups on normal algebraic varieties, and show how to reduce them to actions of affine subgroups.

In this note we study countable subgroups of the full group of a measure preserving equivalence relation. We provide various constraints on the group structure, the nature of the action, and on the measure of fixed point sets, that imply…

In these lectures we consider how algebraic properties of discrete subgroups of Lie groups restrict the possible actions of those groups on surfaces. The results show a strong parallel between the possible actions of such a group on the…

In this article, we define amorphic complexity for actions of locally compact $\sigma$-compact amenable groups on compact metric spaces. Amorphic complexity, originally introduced for $\mathbb Z$-actions, is a topological invariant which…
