Rank one transformations serve as a source of examples in ergodic theory, showing variety of algebraic, asymptotic and spectral properties of dynamical systems. The properties of a rank one transformation are closely related to the weak…

We describe a categorical g action, called a (g,theta) action, which is easier to check in practice. Most categorical g actions can be shown to be of this form. The main result is that a (g,theta) action carries actions of quiver Hecke…

We prove that any ergodic measure-preserving action of an irreducible lattice in a semisimple group, with finite center and each simple factor having rank at least two, either has finite orbits or has finite stabilizers. The same dichotomy…

We classify Radon stationary measures for a random walk on $\mathbb{T}^d \times \mathbb{R}$. This walk is realised by a random action of $SL_{d}(\mathbb{Z})$ on the $\mathbb{T}^d$ component, coupled with a translation on the $\mathbb{R}$…

For n>2, the action of the outer automorphism group of the rank n free group F_n on the SU(2)-character variety Hom(F_n,SU(2))/SU(2)$ is ergodic with respect to the Lebesgue measure class.

We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem and a maximal inequality for actions of amenable groups on noncommutative measure spaces. To do so, we establish a square function estimate quantifying the difference between ergodic averages and some…

Consider a smooth action of $\mathbb R^n$ on a connected manifold $M$, not necessarily compact, of dimension $m$ and rank $k$. Assume that $M$ is not a cylinder. Then there exists an orbit of the action of dimension $<(m+k)/2$. As a…

Let $(Z,\omega)$ be a \Keler manifold and let $U$ be a compact connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{u}$ acting on $Z$ and preserving $\omega$. We assume that the $U$-action extends holomorphically to an action of the complexified…

We consider a nonstationary random walk on a compact metrizable abelian group. Under a classical strict aperiodicity assumption we establish a weak-* convergence to the Haar measure, Ergodic Theorem and Large Deviation Type Estimate.

We establish the representability of the general linear ${\mathbb Z}_2^n$-group and use the restricted functor of points - whose test category is the category of ${\mathbb Z}_2^n$-manifolds over a single topological point - to define its…

We consider compact connected six dimensional symplectic manifolds with Hamiltonian SU(2) or SO(3) actions with cyclic principal stabilizers. We classify such manifolds up to equivariant symplectomorphisms.

We give a complete characterization of Hamiltonian actions of compact Lie groups on exact symplectic manifolds with proper momentum maps. We deduce that every Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group on a contractible symplectic manifold…

Let $\eta$ be an arbitrary countable ordinal. Using results of Bourgain and Gamburd on compact systems with spectral gap we show the existence of an action of the free group on three generators $F_3$ on a compact metric space $X$, admitting…

If $G$ is a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center and $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of G, then the Lie algebra of $G$ admits a Cartan decomposition $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{k}\oplus\mathfrak{p}$. This allows us to define the…

The transitivity degree of a group $G$ is the supremum of all integers $k$ such that $G$ admits a faithful $k$-transitive action. Few obstructions are known to impose an upper bound on the transitivity degree for infinite groups. The…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We introduce symplectic actions of $p$-adic analytic Lie groups on $p$-adic symplectic manifolds. Then we show that any $p$-adic symplectic action $G\times(M,\omega)\to(M,\omega)$ has a momentum map…

Classification results are given for (i) compact quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds with a cohomogeneity-one action of a semi-simple group, (ii) certain complete hyperK\"ahler manifolds with a cohomogeneity-two action of a semi-simple group…

We establish a non-ergodic version of the Host-Kra-Ziegler structure theorem for measure-preserving $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions. Our argument reduces the non-ergodic case to the ergodic theorem (for $d\ge 2$ due to Candela and Szegedy) via a…

We adapt techniques of Hochman to prove a non-singular ergodic theorem for $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions where the sums are over rectangles with side lengths increasing at arbitrary rates, and in particular are not necessarily balls of a norm.…

We consider the orientation-preserving actions of finite groups $G$ on pairs $(S^3, \Gamma)$, where $\Gamma$ is a connected graph of genus $g>1$, embedded in $S^3$. For each $g$ we give the maximum order $m_g$ of such $G$ acting on $(S^3,…
