We introduce a new integral invariant for isometric actions of compact Lie groups, the copolarity. Roughly speaking, it measures how far from being polar the action is. We generalize some results about polar actions in this context. In…

Let $G$ be a Lie group acting properly on a smooth manifold $M$. If $M/G$ is connected, then we exhibit some simple and basic constructions for proper actions. In particular, we prove that the reduction principle in compact transformation…

In this monograph we lay the foundation for a theory of coarse groups and coarse actions. Coarse groups are group objects in the category of coarse spaces, and can be thought of as sets with operations that satisfy the group axioms "up to…

We study isometric Lie group actions on the compact exceptional groups E6, E7, E8, F4 and G2 endowed with a biinvariant metric. We classify polar actions on these groups. We determine all isometric actions of cohomogeneity less than three…

We study isometric actions on Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type which are induced by reductive algebraic subgroups of the isometry group. We show that for such an action there exists a corresponding isometric action on a dual…

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.

We study the core of a proper action by a Lie group $G$ on a smooth manifold $M$, extending the construction for $G$ compact by Skjelbred and Straume. Moreover, we show that many properties of a proper $G$-action on $M$ are determined by…

We study isometric actions of finitely presented groups on $\mathbb{R}$-trees. In this paper, we develop a relative version of the Rips machine to study $\textit{pairs}$ of such actions. An important example of a $\textit{pair}$ is a group…

We look at group actions on metric spaces, particularly at group actions on geodesic hyperbolic spaces. We classify the types of automorphisms on these spaces and prove several results about the density of the hyperbolic limit set of the…

We study several properties of expansive group actions on metric spaces and obtain relation between expansivity for subgroup and group actions. Through counter examples necessity of hypothesis are justified. We also study expansivity of…

We contribute to the program of extending computable structure theory to the realm of metric structures by investigating lowness for isometric isomorphism of metric structures. We show that lowness for isomorphism coincides with lowness for…

We discuss algebraic and analytic structure of rational Lax operators. With algebraic reductions of Lax equations we associate a reduction group - a group of twisted automorphisms of the corresponding infinite dimensional Lie algebra. We…

We find an algorithmic procedure that enables to compute and to describe the structure of the isotropy subgroups of the group of complex orthogonal matrices with respect to the action of similarity on complex symmetric matrices. A key step…

We discuss the isomorphism problem for ergodic actions of locally compact groups. In particular we show that the conjugacy relation is not Borel for ergodic measure preserving actions of indicable groups.

We prove a structure result on proper extensions of two-sided restriction semigroups in terms of partial actions, generalizing respective results for monoids and for inverse semigroups and upgrading the latter. We introduce and study…

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…

We study and relate certain actions and extensions involving 2-groups.

Several problems in number theory when reformulated in terms of homogenous dynamics involve study of limiting distributions of translates of algebraically defined measures on orbits of reductive groups. The general non-divergence and…

We survey some results concerning finite group actions on products of spheres.

We prove that an isometric action of a Lie group on a Riemannian manifold admits a resolution preserving the transverse geometry if and only if the action is infinitesimally polar. We provide applications concerning topological simplicity…
