We study profinite actions of residually finite groups in terms of weak containment. We show that two strongly ergodic profinite actions of a group are weakly equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. This allows us to construct…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group acting by probability measure preserving maps on the standard Borel space $(X,\mu)$. We show that if $H\leq\Gamma$ is a subgroup with relative spectral radius greater than the global spectral…

A uniform space $X$ is said to be proximally fine if every proximally continuous map on $X$ into a uniform is uniformly continuous. We supply a proof that every topological group which is functionnaly generated by its precompact subsets is…

We show that any action of a finite group on a finitely presentable group arises as the action of the group of self-homotopy equivalences of a space on its fundamental group. In doing so, we prove that any finite connected (abstract)…

In this paper, we show that the strong embeddability has fibering permanence property and is preserved under the direct limit for the metric space. Moreover, we show the following result: let $G$ is a finitely generated group with a coarse…

We study the topological dynamics of the action of an acylindrically hyperbolic group on the space of its infinite index convex cocompact subgroups by conjugation. We show that, for any suitable probability measure $\mu$, random walks with…

In ergodic theory, given sufficient conditions on the system, every weak mixing $\mathbb{N}$-action is strong mixing along a density one subset of $\mathbb{N}$. We ask if a similar statement holds in topological dynamics with density one…

We show that Thompson's group $F$ has a topological action on a compact metric space that is proximal and has no fixed points.

We study smooth actions by lattices in higher-rank simple Lie groups. Assuming one element of the action acts with positive topological entropy, we prove a number of new rigidity results. For lattices in $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ acting…

Let $R$ be a semilocal principal ideal domain. Two algebraic objects over $R$ in which scalar extension makes sense (e.g. quadratic spaces) are said to be of the same genus if they become isomorphic after extending scalars to all…

We find a condition on the acylindrical action of a finitely presented group on a simplicial tree which guarantees that this action will be dominated by an acylindrical action with finitely generated edge stabilisers, and find the first…

An action of a topological semigroup S on X is compactifiable if this action is a restriction of a jointly continuous action of S on a Hausdorff compact space Y. A topological semigroup S is compactifiable if the left action of S on itself…

We introduce the notion of strong embeddability for a metric space. This property lies between coarse embeddability and property A. A relative version of strong embeddability is developed in terms of a family of set maps on the metric…

A closed subgroup $H$ of a locally compact group $G$ is confined if the closure of the conjugacy class of $H$ in the Chabauty space of $G$ does not contain the trivial subgroup. We establish a dynamical criterion on the action of a totally…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is said to be a {\it weakly Gibson function} if $f(\overline{U})\subseteq \overline{f(U)}$ for any open connected set \mbox{$U\subseteq X$}. We prove that if $X$ is a locally connected…

We prove that every expansive continuous action with the weak specification property of an amenable group $G$ on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ has the Myhill property, i.e., every pre-injective continuous self-mapping of $X$ commuting with…

Let S be a compact orientable surface with genus g and n boundary components d_1,...,d_n. Let b = (b_1, ..., b_n) where b_n lies in [-2,2]. Then the mapping class group of S acts on the relative SU(2)-character variety X comprising…

Let a discrete group $G$ possess two convergence actions by homeomorphisms on compacta $X$ and $Y$. Consider the following question: does there exist a convergence action $G{\curvearrowright}Z$ on a compactum $Z$ and continuous equivariant…

We introduce a wide class of countable groups, called properly proximal, which contains all non-amenable bi-exact groups, all non-elementary convergence groups, and all lattices in non-compact semi-simple Lie groups, but excludes all inner…

A hovel is a generalization of the Bruhat-Tits building that is associated to an almost split Kac-Moody group G over a non-Archimedean local field. In particular, G acts strongly transitively on its corresponding hovel $\Delta$ as well as…
