For a continuous $\mathbb{N}^d$ or $\mathbb{Z}^d$ action on a compact space, we introduce the notion of Bohr chaoticity, which is an invariant of topological conjugacy and which is proved stronger than having positive entropy. We prove that…

We prove that for a weakly mixing algebraic action $\sigma: G\curvearrowright(X,\nu)$, the $n$-cohomology group $H^n(G\curvearrowright X; \mathbb{T})$, after quotienting out the natural subgroup $H^n(G,\mathbb{T})$, contains…

Let $A$ be a $k$-algebra where $k$ is an algebraically closed field and $G$ be a finite abelian group for which the characteristic of $k$ does not divide $|G|$. If $G$ acts on $A$ by $k$-algebra automorphisms then the action induces a…

We construct an example announced in the title. It answers in a strong way a well-known open problem in topological dynamics. In fact our construction is an existence theorem. It is based on a Borsuk-Ulam type theorem whose proof heavily…

Consider a countable amenable group acting by homeomorphisms on a compact metrizable space. Chung and Li asked if expansiveness and positive entropy of the action imply existence of an off-diagonal asymptotic pair. For algebraic actions of…

In this article we will see some properties that guarantee that a product of an ergodic non-singular action and a probability preserving ergodic action is also an ergodic action. We will start by proving 'The multiplier theorem' for locally…

We prove a dichotomy between rationality and a natural boundary for the analytic behavior of the Reidemeister zeta function for automorphisms of non-finitely generated torsion abelian groups and for endomorphisms of groups $\mathbb Z_p^d,$…

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…

According to the classical theorem, every irreducible algebraic variety endowed with a nontrivial rational action of a connected linear algebraic group is birationally isomorphic to a product of another algebraic variety and ${\bf P}^s$…

In this article, we prove that any complex smooth rational surface $X$ which has no automorphism of positive entropy has a finite number of real forms (this is especially the case if $X$ cannot be obtained by blowing up $\mathbb…

Let F be a finite subgroup of SL_2 (Z) (necessarily isomorphic to one of Z/2Z, Z/3Z, Z/4Z, or Z/6Z), and let F act on the irrational rotational algebra A_{\theta} via the restriction of the canonical action of SL_2 (Z). Then the crossed…

We provide a tool for studying properly discontinuous actions of non-compact groups on locally compact, connected and paracompact spaces, by embedding such an action in a suitable zero-dimensional compactification of the underlying space…

Consider a smooth action $\mathbf G\times M \rightarrow M$ of a compact connected Lie group $\mathbf G$ on a connected manifold $M$. Assume the existence of a point of $M$ whose isotropy group has a single element (free point). Then we…

We provide new examples of acylindrically hyperbolic groups arising from actions on simplicial trees. In particular, we consider amalgamated products and HNN-extensions, 1-relator groups, automorphism groups of polynomial algebras,…

Let $\mathbb{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $D$ be a division algebra of degree $d$ over its center $Z(D)$. Assume that $\mathbb{k}\subset Z(D)$. We show that a finite group $G$ faithfully grades $D$ if and…
