We consider several weaker versions of the notion of conjugacy and orbit equivalence of measure preserving actions of countable groups on probability spaces, involving equivalence of the ultrapower actions and asymptotic intertwining…

We define the orbit morphism of partial dynamical systems and prove that an orbit morphism being an isomorphism in the category of partial dynamical systems and orbit morphisms is equivalent to the existence of a continuous orbit…

In this paper, we study almost finiteness and almost finiteness in measure of non-free actions. Let $\alpha:G\curvearrowright X$ be a minimal action of a locally finite-by-virtually $\mathbb{Z}$ group $G$ on the Cantor set $X$. We prove…

We build on work of Elek and Zucker and develop a topological analogue of the theory of weak containment. We show that definitions in terms of local patterns, containment in ultra(co)products, and continuous model theory are all equivalent,…

We introduce the property of having good subgroups for actions of countable discrete groups on compact metrizable spaces, and show that it implies comparison when the acting group is amenable. As a consequence, free actions on…

Let $X$ be a locally compact zero-dimensional space, let $S$ be an equicontinuous set of homeomorphisms such that $1 \in S = S^{-1}$, and suppose that $\overline{Gx}$ is compact for each $x \in X$, where $G = \langle S \rangle$. We show in…

We establish orbit equivalence rigidity for any ergodic, essentially free and measure-preserving action on a standard Borel space with a finite positive measure of the mapping class group for a compact orientable surface with higher…

We prove that a crossed product algebra arising from a minimal dynamical system on the product of the Cantor set and the circle has real rank zero if and only if that system is rigid. In the case that cocycles take values in the rotation…

A Cantor minimal system is of finite topological rank if it has a Bratteli-Vershik representation whose number of vertices per level is uniformly bounded. We prove that if the topological rank of a minimal dynamical system on a Cantor set…

We prove that every orbit of the adjoint representation of any connected reductive algebraic group $G$ is a rational algebraic variety. For complex simply connected semisimple $G$, this implies rationality of affine Hamiltonian…

For any $2\leq n\leq \infty$, we construct a concrete 1-parameter family of non-orbit equivalent actions of the free group $\Bbb F_n$. These actions arise as diagonal products between a generalized Bernoulli action and the action $\Bbb…

Let $A$ be a unital simple C*-algebra with tracial rank zero and $X$ be a compact metric space. Suppose that $h_1, h_2: C(X)\to A$ are two unital monomorphisms. We show that $h_1$ and $h_2$ are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only…

Consider a countable group Gamma acting ergodically by measure preserving transformations on a probability space (X,mu), and let R_Gamma be the corresponding orbit equivalence relation on X. The following rigidity phenomenon is shown: there…

This is a survey of the recent development of the study of topological full groups of etale groupoids on the Cantor set. Etale groupoids arise from dynamical systems, e.g. actions of countable discrete groups, equivalence relations. Minimal…

We give a general method that may be effectively applied to the question of whether two components of a function space have the same homotopy type. We describe certain group-like actions on function spaces. Our basic results assert that if…

We study the space of continuous $Z^d$-actions on the Cantor set, particularly questions on the existence and nature of actions whose isomorphism class is dense (Rohlin's property). Kechris and Rosendal showed that for $d=1$ there is an…

We prove that two reflection factorizations of a parabolic quasi-Coxeter element in a finite Coxeter group belong to the same Hurwitz orbit if and only if they generate the same subgroup and have the same multiset of conjugacy classes. As a…

The complement of a Cantor set in the complex plane is itself regarded as a Riemann surface of infinite type. The problem is the quasiconformal equivalence of such Riemann surfaces. Particularly, we are interested in Riemann surfaces given…

We establish a novel connection between the minimal nilpotent orbit $\mathbb{O}_n$ in $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ and the minimal nilpotent orbit closure $\overline{\mathbf{O}}_n$ in $\mathfrak{so}_{2n+2}$, which differs from the shared-orbit…

The spatial Kepler problem with a perturbation satisfying the rotational symmetry w.r.t. the $z$-axis and the reflection symmetry w.r.t. the $(x, y)$-plane, can be reduced to an Hamiltonian system with 2 degrees of freedom after fixing the…
