An additive action on an algebraic variety is an effective action of the vector group with an open orbit. We describe projective surfaces with du Val singularities that admit an additive action with a finite number of orbits. In particular,…
We characterize rational actions of the additive group on algebraic varieties defined over a field of characteristic zero in terms of a suitable integrability property of their associated velocity vector fields. This extends the classical…
When $A = \mathbb{k}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ and $G$ is a small subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{k})$, Auslander's Theorem says that the skew group algebra $A \# G$ is isomorphic to $\operatorname{End}_{A^G}(A)$ as graded algebras. We…
We study the action of the multiplicative group generated by two prime numbers in $\mathbf{Z}/Q\mathbf{Z}$. More specifically, we study returns to the set $([-Q^\varepsilon,Q^\varepsilon]\cap \mathbf{Z})/Q\mathbf{Z}$. This is intimately…
We study mixing properties of commutative groups of automorphisms acting on compact nilmanifolds. Assuming that every nontrivial element acts ergodically, we prove that such actions are mixing of all orders. We further show exponential…
We examine crossed product C*-algebras associated with non-minimal free actions of countably infinite discrete abelian groups on the circle, extending the work of Putnam, Schmidt, and Skau. We obtain a large class of unital separable…
We consider large finite group-actions on surfaces and discuss and compare various notions for such actions: Hurwitz actions and Hurwitz groups; maximal reducible and completely reducible actions; bounding and geometrically bounding…
In this short note we study the entropy for algebraic actions of certain amenable groups. The possible values for this entropy are studied. Various fundamental results about certain classes of amenable groups are reproved using elementary…
Given a group G, we construct, in a canonical way, an inverse semigroup S(G) associated to G. The actions of S(G) are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the partial actions of G, both in the case of actions on a set, and that of…
Quasi-free actions of finite groups on Cuntz algebras $\mathcal O_n$ for $n\geq 2$ are classified up to conjugacy by data in the representation ring. Partial results are obtained for quasi-free actions by compact groups.
By an additive action on an algebraic variety $X$ we mean a regular effective action $\mathbb{G}_a^n\times X\to X$ with an open orbit of the commutative unipotent group $\mathbb{G}_a^n$. In this paper, we give a classification of additive…
We construct an action of the positive Witt algebra on the categorified quantum group associated to a simply-laced Lie algebra. In the type A case, we show that this action induces an action of the positive Witt algebra on…
In this article, we give a general construction of spectral triples from certain Lie group actions on unital C*-algebras. If the group G is compact and the action is ergodic, we actually obtain a real and finitely summable spectral triple…
We establish, for the character table of the symmetric group, the positivity of the row sums indexed by irreducible characters, when restricted to various subsets of the conjugacy classes. A notable example is that of partitions with all…
We study the actions of a Lie group $G$ by birationally extendible automorphisms on a domain $D\subset C^n$. For a large class of such domains defined by polynomial inequalities, all automorphisms are of this type. In the cases 1) $G$ has…
To any action of a compact quantum group on a von Neumann algebra which is a direct sum of factors we associate an equivalence relation corresponding to the partition of a space into orbits of the action. We show that in case all factors…
By combining R{\o}rdam's construction and the author's previous construction, we provide the first examples of amenable actions of non-amenable groups on simple separable nuclear C*-algebras that are neither stably finite nor purely…
In this paper the metric on the set of mixing actions of a countable infinite group is introduced so that the corresponding space is complete and separable. Keywords and phrases. Monotilable group, measure preserving transformations, mixing…
Given an action of a compact quantum group on a unital C*-algebra, one can amplify the action with an adjoint representation of the quantum group on a finite dimensional matrix algebra, and consider the resulting inclusion of fixed point…
Two actions of the Hecke algebra of type A on the corresponding polynomial ring are studied. Both are deformations of the natural action of the symmetric group on polynomials, and keep symmetric functions invariant. We give an explicit…
