For a group acting on a hyperbolic space, we set up an algorithm in the group algebra showing that ideals generated by few elements are free, where few is a function of the minimal displacement of the action, and derive algebraic,…

We prove the index theorem for elliptic operators acting on sections of bundles where fiber is equal to a projective module over a C*-algebra, in the situation of action of a compact Lie group on this algebra as well as on the total space…

Some well-known and less well-known or new notions related to group actions are surveyed. Some of these notions are used to generalize affine spaces. Actions are seen as functions with values in transformation monoids

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…

Motivated by generalizing Szemer\'edi's theorem, we the elements in a discrete quantum group fixing a sequence of finite subsets and prove that the set of these elements is a quantum subgroup. Using this we obtain a version of mean ergodic…

We extend the classicial notion of an outer action $\alpha$ of a group $G$ on a unital ring $A$ to the case when $\alpha$ is a partial action on ideals, all of which have local units. We show that if $\alpha$ is an outer partial action of…

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…

We study actions of linear algebraic groups on central simple algebras using algebro-geometric techniques. Suppose an algebraic group G acts on a central simple algebra A of degree n. We are interested in questions of the following type:…

This paper is concerned with the study of the fractional finite sums theory. We present the classes of functions for which it is possible to characterize the constant related to the derivative of fractional sums (denominated by essence of a…

This is an expository article on properties of actions on Lie groups by subgroups of their automorphism groups. After recalling various results on the structure of the automorphism groups, we discuss actions with dense orbits, invariant and…

In this paper, we study partial actions of groups on $R$-algebras, where $R$ is a commutative ring. We describe the partial actions of groups on the indecomposable algebras with enveloping actions. Then we work on algebras that can be…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $R=(M_{ij})_{1\leq i,j\leq n}$ be a generalized matrix ring. For each $1\leq i,j\leq n$, let $I_i$ be an ideal of the ring $R_i:=M_{ii}$ and denote $I_{ij}=I_iM_{ij}+M_{ij}I_j$. We give sufficient…

A classical problem, raised by Fuchs in 1960, asks to classify the abelian groups which are groups of units of some rings. In this paper, we consider the case of finitely generated abelian groups, solving Fuchs' problem for such group with…

We study actions of connected algebraic groups on normal algebraic varieties, and show how to reduce them to actions of affine subgroups.

Using Goursat's lemma for groups, a simple representation and the invariant factor decompositions of the subgroups of the group Z_m x Z_n are deduced, where m and n are arbitrary positive integers. As consequences, explicit formulas for the…

We prove a duality theorem for quantum groupoid (weak Hopf algebra) actions that extends the well-known result for usual Hopf algebras.

We construct families of finitely presented groups exhibiting new divergence behavior; we obtain divergence functions of the form $r^\alpha$ for a dense set of exponents $\alpha \in [2,\infty)$ and $r^n\log(r)$ for integers $n \geq 2$. The…

We construct a group acting on a binary rooted tree; this discrete group mimics the monodromy action of iterates of $f(z)=z^2-1$ on associated coverings of the Riemann sphere. We then derive some algebraic properties of the group, and…

Using a variant of Schreier's Theorem, and the theory of Green's relations, we show how to reduce the computation of an arbitrary subsemigroup of a finite regular semigroup to that of certain associated subgroups. Examples of semigroups to…
