We show that the group of germs at infinity of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of R admits no action on the line. This gives an example of a left-orderable group of the same cardinality as Homeo+(R) that does not embed in Homeo+(R).…

We survey the role of right-angled Artin groups in the theory of diffeomorphism groups of low dimensional manifolds. We first describe some of the subgroup structure of right-angled Artin groups. We then discuss the interplay between…

We show that the group of bounded automatic automorphisms of a rooted tree is amenable, which implies amenability of numerous classes of groups generated by finite automata. The proof is based on reducing the problem to showing amenability…

The paper offers a thorough study of multiorders and their applications to measure-preserving actions of countable amenable groups. By a~{\em multiorder} on a~countable group we mean any probability measure $\nu$ on the collection…

When a semigroup has a unary operation, it is possible to define two binary operations, namely, left and right division. In addition it is well known that groups can be defined in terms of those two divisions. The aim of this paper is to…

We show how to use topological ideas, such as compactness, to establish orderability properties of infinite groups. A new application is to provide a left-ordering for the group of PL homeomorphisms of a connected surface with boundary…

Let $T$ be a locally finite tree all of whose vertices have valency at least $6$. We classify, up to isomorphism, the closed subgroups of $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ acting $2$-transitively on the set of ends of $T$ and whose local action at each…

We study the space of left-orderings on groups with finitely many Conradian orderings. We show that, within this class of groups, having an isolated left-ordering is equivalent to having finitely many left-orderings.

We study actions of finitely generated groups on $\bbR$-trees under some stability hypotheses. We prove that either the group splits over some controlled subgroup (fixing an arc in particular), or the action can be obtained by gluing…

In this paper we study the action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on the space of orders on the group. In particular, we are concerned with the invariant probability measures on this space, known as invariant random orders. We show that for…

Differential invariants of a (pseudo)group action can vary when restricted to invariant submanifolds (differential equations). The algebra is still governed by the Lie-Tresse theorem, but may change a lot. We describe in details the case of…

We prove cyclic sieving phenomena satisfied by corner-rooted plane trees (alias ordered trees). The sets of rooted plane trees that we consider are: (1) all trees with $n$ nodes; (2) all trees with $n$ nodes and $k$ leaves; (3) all trees…

We construct approximately inner actions of discrete amenable groups on strongly amenable subfactors of type II_1 with given invariants, and obtain classification results under some conditions. We also study the lifting of the relative \chi…

We give the first examples of (non-amenable group) amenable actions on stably finite simple C*-algebras. More precisely, we give such actions for any countable group in an explicit way. The main ingredients of our construction are the full…

We prove that every ordered partial action of an inverse semigroupoid on a partially ordered set admits a globalization. This result is used to establish a connection between ordered partial actions of groupoids and a multi-object analogue…

If a Lie group acts on a manifold freely and properly, pulling back by the quotient map gives an isomorphism between the differential forms on the quotient manifold and the basic differential forms upstairs. We show that this result remains…

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition to the existence of an ordered globalization of a partial ordered action of an ordered groupoid on a ring and we also present criteria to obtain uniqueness. Furthermore, we apply those results…

We classify $C$-orderable groups admitting only finitely many $C$-orderings. We show that if a $C$-orderable group has infinitely many $C$-orderings, then it actually has uncountably many $C$-orderings, and none of these is isolated in the…

Let $G$ be a countable group with no finitely generated subgroup of exponential growth. We show that every action of $G$ on a countable set preserving a linear (respectively, circular) order can be realised as the restriction of some action…

We consider group orders and right-orders which are discrete, meaning there is a least element which is greater than the identity. We note that free groups cannot be given discrete orders, although they do have right-orders which are…
