We consider the three dimensional Heisenberg nilflows. Under a full measure set Diophantine condition on the generator of the flow we construct Bufetov functionals which are asymptotic to ergodic integrals for sufficiently smooth functions,…

We study actions by lattices in higher-rank (semi)simple Lie groups on compact manifolds. By classifying certain measures invariant under a related higher-rank abelian action (the diagonal action on the suspension space) we deduce a number…

We prove absolute continuity of "high entropy" hyperbolic invariant measures for smooth actions of higher rank abelian groups assuming that there are no proportional Lyapunov exponents. For actions on tori and infranilmanifolds existence of…

We prove quantitative equidistribution results for actions of Abelian subgroups of the $2g+1$ dimensional Heisenberg group acting on compact $2g+1$-dimensional homogeneous nilmanifolds. The results are based on the study of the…

We show that genuinely higher rank expanding actions of abelian semi-groups on compact manifolds are $C^{\infty}$-conjugate to affine actions on infra-nilmanifolds. This is based on the classification of expanding diffeomorphisms up to…

In this work, we address ergodicity of smooth actions of finitely generated semi-groups on an m-dimensional closed manifold M. We provide sufficient conditions for such an action to be ergodic with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Our…

In this paper we prove a perturbative result for a class of $\mathbb Z^2$ actions on Heisenberg nilmanifolds, which have Diophantine properties. Along the way we prove cohomological rigidity and obtain a tame splitting for the cohomology…

We prove global rigidity results for actions of higher rank lattices on nilmanifolds containing a partially hyperbolic element. We consider actions of higher rank lattices on tori or on $2-$step nilpotent nilmanifolds, such that the actions…

We obtain a global rigidity result for abelian partially hyperbolic higher rank actions on certain $2-$step nilmanifolds $X_{\Gamma}$. We show that, under certain natural assumptions, all such actions are $C^{\infty}-$conjugated to an…

We present a new argument in the study of positive entropy measures for higher rank diagonalisable actions. The argument relies on a quantitative form of recurrence along unipotent directions (that are not known to preserve the measure).…

We bound the higher-order Dehn functions and other filling invariants of certain Carnot groups using approximation techniques. These groups include the higher-dimensional Heisenberg groups, jet groups, and central products of two-step…

We prove results toward classifying compact Lorentz manifolds on which Heisenberg groups act isometrically. We give a general construction, leading to a new example, of codimension-one actions--those for which the dimension of the…

In this article we study properly discontinuous actions on Hilbert manifolds giving new examples of complete Hilbert manifolds with nonnegative, respectively nonpositive, sectional curvature with infinite fundamental group. We also get…

For a class of irrational numbers, depending on their Diophantine properties, we construct explicit rank-one transformations that are totally ergodic and not weakly mixing. We classify when the measure is finite or infinite. In the finite…

We consider two numerical entropy--type invariants for actions of $\Zk$, invariant under a choice of generators and well-adapted for smooth actions whose individual elements have positive entropy. We concentrate on the maximal rank case,…

The goal of this paper is to study ergodic and rigidity properties of smooth actions of the discrete Heisenberg group $\H$. We establish the decomposition of the tangent space of any $C^\infty$ compact Riemannian manifold $M$ for Lyapunov…

We show that sufficiently irreducible Anosov actions of higher rank abelian groups on tori and nilmanifolds are smoothly conjugate to affine actions.

We investigate conformal actions of cocompact lattices in higher-rank simple Lie groups on compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Our main result gives a general bound on the real-rank of the lattice, which was already known for the action of…

We show that most homogeneous Anosov actions of higher rank Abelian groups are locally smoothly rigid (up to an automorphism). This result is the main part in the proof of local smooth rigidity for two very different types of algebraic…

We study the properly discontinuous and isometric actions on the unit sphere of infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces and we get some new examples of Hilbert manifold with costant positive sectional curvature. We prove some necessary…
