Answering a question by Chatterji--Dru\c{t}u--Haglund, we prove that, for every locally compact group $G$, there exists a critical constant $p_G \in [0,\infty]$ such that $G$ admits a continuous affine isometric action on an $L_p$ space…

The relationship between local Weyl scaling invariant models and local dilatation invariant actions is critically scrutinized. While actions invariant under local Weyl scalings can be constructed in a straightforward manner, actions…

We exhibit invariants of smooth projective algebraic varieties with integer values, whose nonvanishing modulo p prevents the existence of an action without fixed points of certain finite p-groups. The case of base fields of characteristic p…

We describe a systematic way of the generalization, to models with non-linear duality, of the space-time covariant and duality-invariant formulation of duality-symmetric theories in which the covariance of the action is ensured by the…

Consider the action of $GL(n,\mathbb{Q_p})$ on the $p$-adic unit sphere $\mathcal{S}_n$ arising from the linear action on $\mathbb{Q}_p^n\setminus\{0\}$. We show that for the action of a semigroup $\mathfrak{S}$ of $GL(n,\mathbb{Q}_p)$ on…

We apply Lescop's construction of $\mathbb{Z}$-equivariant perturbative invariant of knots and 3-manifolds to the explicit equivariant propagator of "AL-paths" given in arXiv:1403.8030. We obtain an invariant $\hat{Z}_n$ of certain…

We compute the one-loop effective action and the conformal anomaly associated with the product $\bigotimes_p{\cal L}_p$ of the Laplace type operators ${\cal L}_p, p=1,2$, acting in irreducible rank 1 symmetric spaces of non-compact type.…

We present a simple derivation of the supersymmetric one-loop effective action of SU(2) Matrix theory by expressing it in a compact exponential form whose invariance under supersymmetry transformations is obvious. This result clarifies the…

We argue that conformal invariance is a common thread linking several scalar effective field theories that appear in the double copy and scattering equations. For a derivatively coupled scalar with a quartic ${\cal O}(p^4)$ vertex,…

Conformal invariant new forms of $p$-brane and D$p$-brane actions are proposed. The field content of these actions are: an induced metric, gauge fields, an auxiliary metric and an auxiliary scalar field that implements the Weyl invariance.…

We consider the equivalence problem for symplectic and conformal symplectic group actions on submanifolds and functions of symplectic and contact linear spaces. This is solved by computing differential invariants via the Lie-Tresse theorem.

We study smooth locally free actions of ${\mathbb R}^n$ on manifolds $M$ of dimension $n+1$. We are interested in compact orbits and in compact actions: actions with all orbits compact. Given a compact orbit in a neighborhood of compact…

We consider the orthogonalisation of the signature of a stochastic process as the analogue of orthogonal polynomials on path-space. Under an infinite radius of convergence assumption, we prove density of linear functions on the signature in…

We prove that the Serre spectral sequence of the fibration $\overline{\mathcal M}_{0, 1+p} \to E\mathbb Z/p \times_{\mathbb Z/p} \overline{\mathcal M}_{0, 1+p} \to B \mathbb Z/p$ collapses at the $E_2$ page. We use this to prove that: for…

We compute the effect of concordance surgery, a generalization of knot surgery defined using a self-concordance of a knot, on the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o 4-manifold invariant. The formula involves the graded Lefschetz number of the concordance…

We examine which of the compact connected Lie groups that act transitively on spheres of different dimensions leave the unique spin structure of the sphere invariant. We study the notion of invariance of a spin structure and prove this…

This paper introduces a quaternionic analogue of toric geometry by developing the theory of local $Q^n := Sp(1)^n$-actions on 4n-dimensional manifolds, modeled on the regular representation. We identify obstructions that measure the failure…

The conventional model of the gauge vector field is invariant under the local conformal symmetry only in the four-dimensional space ($4d$). Conformal generalization to an arbitrary dimension $d$ is impossible even for the free theory,…

A result by Ornstein and Weiss states that a free and measure-preserving action of an amenable group on a probability space yields a decomposition of the space in disjoint images, up to a small error, analogous to the one given by the…

All possible action functionals on the space of surfaces in ${\bf R}^4$ that depend only on first and second derivatives of the functions, entering the equation of the surface, and satisfy the condition of invariance with respect to rigid…
