We study the automorphisms group action on a bounded domain in $\CC^n$ having a boundary point that is exponentially flat. Such a domain typically has a compact automorphism group. Our results enable us to generate many new examples.
We show that every isometric action on a Cantor set is conjugate to an inverse limit of actions on finite sets; and that every isometric action by a finitely generated amenable group is residually finite.
Systems of deterministic finite automata communicating by sending their states upon request are investigated, when the amount of communication is restricted. The computational power and decidability properties are studied for the case of…
We study automaton groups without singular points, that is, points in the boundary for which the map that associates to each point its stabilizer, is not continuous. This is motivated by the problem of finding examples of infinite…
This survey is intended to be a fast (and reasonably updated) reference for the theory of Stallings automata and its applications to the study of subgroups of the free group, with the main accent on algorithmic aspects. Consequently,…
The author proposes a method for investigating actions of finite groups on aspherical spaces. Complete homotopy classification of free actions of finite groups on aspherical spaces is obtained. Also there are some results about non-free…
We study sources of isomorphisms of additive cellular automata on finite groups (called index-group). It is shown that many isomorphisms (called regular) of automata are reducible to the isomorphisms of underlying algebraic structures (such…
We consider Turing machines as actions over configurations in $\Sigma^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$ which only change them locally around a marked position that can move and carry a particular state. In this setting we study the monoid of Turing machines…
In this paper we survey some surprising connections between group theory, the theory of automata and formal languages, the theory of ends, infinite games of perfect information, and monadic second-order logic.
We generalize the notion of isoperimetric profiles of finitely generated groups to their actions by measuring the boundary of finite subgraphings of the orbit graphing. We prove that like the classical isoperimetric profiles for groups,…
We prove that endowing a real-time probabilistic or quantum computer with the ability of postselection increases its computational power. For this purpose, we provide a new model of finite automata with postselection, and compare it with…
This work introduces a new kind of affine semigroups called $P$-semigroups. Within the framework of $\mathcal C$-semigroups, we define a finite-state automaton associated to them. Moreover, this automaton determines whether a $\mathcal…
We give a topological framework for the study of Sela's limit groups: limit groups are limits of free groups in a compact space of marked groups. Many results get a natural interpretation in this setting. The class of limit groups is known…
For bounded pseudoconvex domains with finite type we give a precise description of the automorphism group: if an orbit of the automorphism group accumulates on at least two different points of the boundary, then the automorphism group has…
We develop a theory of vector spaces spanned by orbit-finite sets. Using this theory, we give a decision procedure for equivalence of weighted register automata, which are the common generalization of weighted automata and register automata…
We provide a precise coupling of the finite circular beta ensembles and their limit process via their operator representations. We prove explicit bounds on the distance of the operators and the corresponding point processes. We also prove…
A variant of self-similar approximation theory is suggested, permitting an easy and accurate summation of divergent series consisting of only a few terms. The method is based on a power-law algebraic transformation, whose powers play the…
We study languages over infinite alphabets equipped with some structure that can be tested by recognizing automata. We develop a framework for studying such alphabets and the ensuing automata theory, where the key role is played by an…
This survey paper discusses behaviour of higher-order correlations for one-parameter dynamical systems and more generally for dynamical systems arising from group actions. In particular, we present a self-contained proof of quantitative…
Currently there is great interest in computational models consisting of underlying regular computational environments, and built on them distributed computational structures. Examples of such models are cellular automata, spatial…
