A free action of a finite group on an odd-dimensional sphere is said to be almost linear if the action restricted to each cyclic or 2-hyperelementary subgroup is conjugate to a free linear action. We begin this survey paper by reviewing the…

Considering the potential equivariant formality of the left action of a connected Lie group $K$ on the homogeneous space $G/K$, we arrive through a sequence of reductions at the case $G$ is compact and simply-connected and $K$ is a torus.…

A group action is called polar if there exists an immersed submanifold (a section) which intersects all orbits orthogonally. Such group actions have been studied extensively on symmetric spaces. We show how to construct a manifold admitting…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$ and $G$ be an algebraic group acting on $X$ whose action is closed. J. Poineau defined a compactification $X^\urcorner$ of $X(\mathbb{C})$ by using hybrid Berkovich spaces. We will focus on…

In this present paper we study geometry of compact complex manifolds equipped with a \emph{maximal} torus $T=(S^1)^k$ action. We give two equivalent constructions providing examples of such manifolds given a simplicial fan $\Sigma$ and a…

Let $X_0$ denote a compact, simply-connected smooth $4$-manifold with boundary the Poincar\'e homology $3$-sphere $\Sigma(2,3,5)$ and with even negative definite intersection form $Q_{X_0}=E_8$. We show that free $\mathbb{Z}/p$ actions on…

We introduce a topometric version of Lipschitz-free spaces and study its universal property. Another aim of this paper is to investigate actions of topological groups $G$ on Lipschitz-free spaces $\mathcal{F}(M)$, induced by isometric…

It is proved that if S^6 possesses an integrable complex structure, then there exists a 1-dimensional family of pairwise different exotic complex structures on P_3(C). This follows immediately from the main result of the paper: S^6 is not…

We introduce an equivariant Pontrjagin-Thom construction which identifies equivariant cohomotopy classes with certain fixed point bordism classes. This provides a concrete geometric model for equivariant cohomotopy which works for any…

Given an abelian $p$-group $G$ of rank $n$, we construct an action of the torus $\mathbb{T}^n$ on the stable module $\infty$-category of $G$-representations over a field of characteristic $p$. The homotopy fixed points are given by the…

Methods are developed to relate the action of a principal fibration to relative Whitehead products in order to determine the homotopy type of certain spaces. The methods are applied to thoroughly analyze the homotopy type of the based loops…

We explore some of the special features with respect to Bredon cohomology of groups having all its finite subgroups either nilpotent or p-groups or cyclic p-groups. We get some results on dimensions and also a formula for the equivariant…

Let $X$ be a finite CW-complex having mod $p$ cohomology isomorphic to a wedge of three spheres $\mathbb{S}^n\vee \mathbb{S}^m \vee \mathbb{S}^l,~ 1\leq n \leq m \leq l$. The aim of this paper is to determine the fixed point sets of actions…

We construct cup and cap products in intersection (co)homology with field coefficients. The existence of the cap product allows us to give a new proof of Poincare duality in intersection (co)homology which is similar in spirit to the usual…

We prove some de Rham theorems on bounded subanalytic submanifolds of $\R^n$ (not necessarily compact). We show that the $L^1$ cohomology of such a submanifold is isomorphic to its singular homology. In the case where the closure of the…

We construct an explicit de Rham isomorphism relating the cohomology rings of Banagl's de Rham and spatial approach to intersection space cohomology for stratified pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities. Intersection space…

Let $M^{2d}$ be a compact symplectic manifold and $T$ a compact $n$-dimensional torus. A Hamiltonian action, $\tau$, of $T$ on $M$ is a GKM action if, for every $p \in M^T$, the isotropy representation of $T$ on $T_pM$ has pair-wise…

We consider aspects of the geometry and topology of nilpotent orbits in finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebras. In particular, we give the equivariant cohomologies of the regular and minimal nilpotent orbits with respect to the…

Let G be a torus of dimension n > 1 and M a compact Hamiltonian G-manifold with $M^G$ finite. A circle, $S^1$, in G is generic if $M^G = M^{S^1}$. For such a circle the moment map associated with its action on M is a perfect Morse function.…

We study algebraic actions of finite groups of quiver automorphisms on moduli spaces of quiver representations. We decompose the fixed loci using group cohomology and we give a modular interpretation of each component. As an application, we…
