This paper gives an algebraic characterization of expansive actions of countable abelian groups on compact abelian groups. This naturally extends the classification of expansive algebraic $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions given by Schmidt using…
We study expressive power of continuous logic in classes of metric groups defined by properties of their actions. For example we consider properties non-OB, non-FH and non-FR. The paper substantially extends Section 2 of the paper A.Ivanov,…
A general framework for investigating topological actions of $Z^d$ on compact metric spaces was proposed by Boyle and Lind in terms of expansive behavior along lower-dimensional subspaces of $R^d$. Here we completely describe this expansive…
Problems of dense and closed extension of actions of compact transformation groups are solved. The method developed in the paper is applied to problems of extension of equivariant maps and of construction of equivariant compactifications.
The title refers to the area of research which studies infinite groups using measure-theoretic tools, and studies the restrictions that group structure imposes on ergodic theory of their actions. The paper is a survey of recent developments…
Given a separable metrisable space X, and a group G of homeomorphisms of X, we introduce a topological property of the action of G on X which is equivalent to the existence of a G-invariant compatible metric on X. This extends a result of…
We define and study notions of amenability and skew-amenability of continuous actions of topological groups on compact topological spaces. Our main motivation is the question under what conditions amenability of a topological group passes…
We study when the mapping class group of an infinite-type surface $S$ admits an action with unbounded orbits on a connected graph whose vertices are simple closed curves on $S$. We introduce a topological invariant for infinite-type…
We discuss various aspects of isometric group actions on proper metric spaces. As one application, we show that a proper and Weyl transitive action on a euclidean building is strongly transitive on the maximal atlas (the complete apartment…
Actions of a locally compact group G on a measure space X give rise to unitary representations of G on Hilbert spaces. We review results on the rigidity of these actions from the spectral point of view, that is, results about the existence…
In this paper, we study partial actions of groups on $R$-algebras, where $R$ is a commutative ring. We describe the partial actions of groups on the indecomposable algebras with enveloping actions. Then we work on algebras that can be…
: Algebraic properties of orbifold models on arbitrary Riemann surfaces are investigated. The action of mapping class group transformations and of standard geometric operations is given explicitly. An infinite dimensional extension of the…
This paper studies properties of entropy functions that are induced by groups and subgroups. We showed that many information theoretic properties of those group induced entropy functions also have corresponding group theoretic…
We consider semigroups of Ruelle-expanding maps, parameterized by random walks on the free semigroup, with the aim of examining their complexity and exploring the relation between intrinsic properties of the semigroup action and the…
We investigate the geometry of median metric spaces. The group-theoretic applications are towards Kazhdan's property (T) and Haagerup's property.
In this paper we survey some recent results on actions of finite groups on topological manifolds. Given an action of a finite group $G$ on a manifold $X$, these results provide information on the restriction of the action to a subgroup of…
We use tools from combinatorial group theory in order to study actions of three types on groups acting on a curve, namely the automorphism group of a compact Riemann surface, the mapping class group acting on a surface (which now is allowed…
Extensive amenability is a property of group actions which has recently been used as a tool to prove amenability of groups. We study this property and prove that it is preserved under a very general construction of semidirect products. As…
We study the topological dynamics of the action of an acylindrically hyperbolic group on the space of its infinite index convex cocompact subgroups by conjugation. We show that, for any suitable probability measure $\mu$, random walks with…
We construct affine uniformly Lipschitz actions on $\ell^1$ and $L^1$ for certain groups with hyperbolic features. For acylindrically hyperbolic groups, our actions have unbounded orbits, while for residually finite hyperbolic groups and…
