We study the spaces of twisted conformal blocks attached to a $\Gamma$-curve $\Sigma$ with marked $\Gamma$-orbits and an action of $\Gamma$ on a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, where $\Gamma$ is a finite group. We prove that if $\Gamma$…

Let $H^n$ be the hyperbolic n-space with $n\geq 2$. Suppose that $\Gamma<Isom H^n$ is a discrete, torsion free subgroup and $a$ is a point in the domain of discontinuity $\Omega(\Gamma)$. Let $p$ be the projection map from $H^n$ to the…

We study through the lens of Anosov representations the dynamical properties of reducible suspensions of linear representations of non-elementary hyperbolic groups, which are linear representations preserving and acting weakly unipotently…

For each group $G$ having an infinite normal subgroup with the relative property (T) (for instance $G = H \times K$ where $H$ is infinite with property (T) and $K$ is arbitrary), and any countable abelian group $\Lambda$ we construct free…

Let $X$ be the $2$-sphere $\mathbb S^2$ or the real projective plane $\mathbb {RP}^2$. We show that if $\Gamma$ is a finitely generated group acting minimally and distally on $X$, then $\Gamma$ contains a nonabelian free subgroup.

We define a new family of discrete representations of relatively hyperbolic groups which unifies many existing definitions and examples of geometrically finite behavior in higher rank. The definition includes the relative Anosov…

For a semisimple real Lie group $G$ with an irreducible representation $\rho$ on a finite-dimensional real vector space $V$, we give a sufficient criterion on $\rho$ for existence of a group of affine transformations of $V$ whose linear…

The classical Gaussian functor associates to every orthogonal representation of a locally compact group $G$ a probability measure preserving action of $G$ called a Gaussian action. In this paper, we generalize this construction by…

Whenever a finitely generated group $G$ acts properly discontinuously by isometries on a metric space $X$, there is an induced uniform embedding (a Lipschitz and uniformly proper map) $\rho: G \rightarrow X$ given by mapping $G$ to an…

In this paper we identify different classes of free group extension using core graphs. We show that every free group extension $H\leq K\leq F$ has a base $B$ such that the associated pointed graph morphism…

Let $\mathcal G$ denote the space of finitely generated marked groups. We give equivalent characterizations of closed subspaces $\mathcal S\subseteq \mathcal G$ satisfying the following zero-one law: for any sentence $\sigma$ in the…

The Abels-Margulis-Soifer lemma states that if a semigroup $\Gamma$ acts strongly irreducibly by linear transformations on a finite-dimensional real vector space, then any element of $\Gamma$ can be multiplied by an element of some fixed…

We study the projective linear group PGL_2(A), associated with an arbitrary algebra A, and its subgroups from the point of view of their action on the space of involutions in A. This action formally resembles Moebius transformations known…

Let $p:\Sigma'\to\Sigma$ be a finite Galois cover, possibly branched, with Galois group $G$. We are interested in the structure of the cohomology of $\Sigma'$ as a module over $G$. We treat the cases of branched and unbranched covers…

We introduce the notion of an EZ-structure on a group. Delta-hyperbolic groups and CAT(0)-groups have EZ-structures. We show torsion-free groups having an EZ-structure automatically have an action by homeomorphisms on a closed…

We prove the transitivity of real Anosov diffeomorphisms, which are Anosov diffeomorphisms where stable and unstable spaces decompose into a continuous sum of invariant one-dimensional sub-spaces with uniform contraction/expansion over the…

Given a countable group $G$ splitting as a free product $G=G_1\ast\dots\ast G_k\ast F_N$, we establish classification results for subgroups of the group $Out(G,\mathcal{F})$ of all outer automorphisms of $G$ that preserve the conjugacy…

Let $G$ be a simply connected, connected completely solvable Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{p}+\mathfrak{m}.$ Next, let $\pi$ be an infinite-dimensional unitary irreducible representation of $G$ obtained by inducing a…

We introduce computable actions of computable groups and prove the following versions of effective Birkhoff's ergodic theorem. Let $\Gamma$ be a computable amenable group, then there always exists a canonically computable tempered two-sided…

We begin the investigation of Gamma-limit groups, where Gamma is a torsion-free group which is hyperbolic relative to a collection of free abelian subgroups. Using the results of Drutu and Sapir, we adapt the results from math.GR/0404440 to…
