Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice of a semisimple Lie group $L$. Suppose that one parameter Ad-diagonalizable subgroup $\{g_t\}$ of $L$ acts ergodically on $L/\Gamma$ with respect to the probability Haar measure $\mu$. For certain proper subgroup…

Let $G$ be a connected and simply connected semisimple algebraic group over $\Bbb Q$ and let $\Gamma\subset G(\Bbb Q)$ be an arithmetic subgroup. Let $K_\infty\subset G(\Bbb R)$ be a maximal compact subgroup and let $d$ be the dimension of…

For any countable group $\Gamma$ satisfying the ``weak Rohlin property'', and for any dynamical property, the set of $\Gamma$-actions with that property is either residual or meager. The class of groups with the weak Rohlin property…

Let Gamma be a finitely generated, amenable group. Using an idea of E Ghys, we prove that if Gamma has a nontrivial, orientation-preserving action on the real line, then Gamma has an infinite, cyclic quotient. (The converse is obvious.)…

Consider the action of $SL(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ on $\mathbb{S}^n$ arising as the quotient of the linear action on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus\{0\}$. We show that for a semigroup $\mathfrak{S}$ of $SL(n+1,\mathbb{R})$, the following are…

We consider models of gradient type, which are the densities of a collection of real-valued random variables $\phi :=\{\phi_x: x \in \Lambda\}$ given by $Z^{-1}\exp({-\sum\nolimits_{j \sim k}V(\phi_j-\phi_k)})$. We focus our study on the…

Let G be a finite group acting orthogonally on a pair (S^d,\Gamma) where \Gamma is a finite, connected graph of genus g>1 embedded in the sphere S^d. The 3-dimensional case d=3 has recently been considered in a paper by C. Wang, S. Wang, Y.…

Let $\Gamma$ denote the Hamming graph $H(D,r)$ with $r \geq 3$. Consider the distance matrices $\{A_i\}_{i=0}^{D}$ of $\Gamma$. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$, and consider the dual distance matrices $\{A_i^{*}\}_{i=0}^{D}$ of $\Gamma$ with…

The main goal of this note is to suggest an algebraic approach to the quasi-isometric classification of partially commutative groups (alias right-angled Artin groups). More precisely, we conjecture that if the partially commutative groups…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group equipped with a symmetric and nondegenerate probability measure $\mu$ with finite second moment, and $Y$ a CAT(0) space which is either proper or of finite telescopic dimension. We show that if an…

Let $X$ be a Hadamard manifold, and $\Gamma$ a non-elementary discrete group of isometries of $X$ which contains a rank one isometry. We relate the ergodic theory of the geodesic flow of the quotient orbifold $M=X/\Gamma$ to the behavior of…

We introduce the notion of a graded group action on a graded algebra or, which is the same, a group action by graded pseudoautomorphisms. An algebra with such an action is a natural generalization of an algebra with a super- or a…

Let $G$ be a Lie group, $\Gamma\subset G$ a discrete subgroup, $X=G/\Gamma$, and $f$ an affine map from $X$ to itself. We give conditions on a submanifold $Z$ of $X$ guaranteeing that the set of points $x\in X$ with $f$-trajectories…

Consider a countable group Gamma acting ergodically by measure preserving transformations on a probability space (X,mu), and let R_Gamma be the corresponding orbit equivalence relation on X. The following rigidity phenomenon is shown: there…

Let $(X,G)$ be a minimal equicontinuous dynamical system, where $X$ is a compact metric space and $G$ some topological group acting on $X$. Under very mild assumptions, we show that the class of regular almost automorphic extensions of…

We prove the uniqueness of the group measure space Cartan subalgebra in crossed products A \rtimes \Gamma covering certain cases where \Gamma is an amalgamated free product over a non-amenable subgroup. In combination with Kida's work we…

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 $\Gamma_1,\dots,\Gamma_n$ be hyperbolic, property (T) groups, for some $n\ge 1$. We prove that if a product $\Gamma_1\times\dots\times\Gamma_n \curvearrowright X_1\times\dots\times X_n$ of measure preserving actions is stably orbit…

We present examples of geometrically finite manifolds with pinched negative curvature, whose geodesic flow has infinite non-ergodic Bowen-Margulis measure and whose Poincar\'e series converges at the critical exponent $\delta_\Gamma$. We…

A theorem of Tits - Vinberg allows to build an action of a Coxeter group $\Gamma$ on a properly convex open set $\Omega$ of the real projective space, thanks to the data $P$ of a polytope and reflection across its facets. We give sufficient…
