Quasi-free actions of finite groups on Cuntz algebras $\mathcal O_n$ for $n\geq 2$ are classified up to conjugacy by data in the representation ring. Partial results are obtained for quasi-free actions by compact groups.

We classify compact homogeneous geometries of irreducible spherical type and rank at least 2 which admit a transitive action of a compact connected group, up to equivariant 2-coverings. We apply our classification to polar actions on…

We obtain explicit formulas for the rational homotopy groups of generalised symmetric spaces, i.e., the homogeneous spaces for which the isotropy subgroup appears as the fixed point group of some finite order automorphism of the group. In…

We prove that, for p an odd prime, every finite p-group of rank 3 acts freely on a finite complex X homotopy equivalent to a product of three spheres.

In this partly expository monograph we develop a general framework for producing uncountable families of exotic actions of certain classically studied groups acting on the circle. We show that if $L$ is a nontrivial limit group then the…

Computations based on explicit 4-periodic resolutions are given for the cohomology of the finite groups G known to act freely on S^3, as well as the cohomology rings of the associated 3-manifolds (spherical space forms) M = S^3/G. Chain…

We study finite group actions on smooth manifolds of the form $M\#\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is an exotic $n$-sphere and $M$ is a closed aspherical space form. We give a classification result for free actions of finite groups on $M\#\Sigma$…

We consider endomorphism actions of arbitrary discrete semigroups on a connected metrizable topological group G. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for expansiveness of such actions when G is a Lie group or a compact…

For group actions on hyperbolic CAT(0) square complexes, we show that the acylindricity of the action is equivalent to a weaker form of acylindricity phrased purely in terms of stabilisers of points, which has the advantage of being much…

In this paper, we show that if a group acts isometrically on a good hyperbolic space of finite volume entropy through a non-elementary action, then it admits an affine action on some $L^p$ -space with an unbounded orbit for sufficiently…

We introduce the definition of totally nonfree actions of groups; such actions are naturally related to the theory of characters of groups and their factor-representations of type II. This short note is a brief exposition of a part of a…

In this paper we determine all finite groups G that can act on some compact Riemann surface M with the property that if H is any non-trivial subgroup of G, then the orbit surface M/H is the Riemann sphere. The idea is to look at the induced…

In this note we derive an upper bound on the number of 2-spheres in the fixed point set of a smooth and homologically trivial cyclic group action of prime order on a simply-connected 4-manifold. This improves the a priori bound which is…

The group theoretical quantization scheme is reconsidered by means of elementary systems. Already the quantization of a particle on a circle shows that the standard procedure has to be supplemented by an additional condition on the…

Let k be a local field and G the set of k-points of a connected semisimple algebraic k-group of rank one. We describe all torsion-free discrete subgroups of G\times G acting properly discontinuously on G by left and right multiplication. To…

The shadowable points of dynamical systems has been well-studied by Morales \cite{MR3535492}. This paper aims to generalize the main results obtained by Morales to free semigroup actions. To this end, we introduce the notion of shadowable…

In this paper, we propose a weak version of quotient for the algebraic action of a group on a variety, which we shall call a pseudo-quotient. They arise when we focus on the purely topological properties of good GIT quotients regardless of…

We prove that a random group has fixed points when it isometrically acts on a CAT(0) cube complex. We do not assume that the action is simplicial.

A scale-multiplicative semigroup in a totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ is one for which the restriction of the scale function on $G$ is multiplicative. The maximal scale-multiplicative semigroups in groups acting…

In this paper, we give a weak classification of locally linear pseudofree actions of the cyclic group of order 3 on a $K3$ surface, and prove the existence of such an action which can not be realized as a smooth action on the standard…
