Lie groups as permutation groups: Ulam's problem in the nilpotent case
Ulam asked whether every connected Lie group can be represented on a countable structure. This is known in the linear case. We establish it for the first family of non-linear groups, namely in the nilpotent case. Further context is discussed to illustrate ...
WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH2022Hyperbolicity as an obstruction to smoothability for one-dimensional actions
Ghys and Sergiescu proved in the 1980s that Thompson's group T, and hence F, admits actions by C-infinity diffeomorphisms of the circle. They proved that the standard actions of these groups are topologically conjugate to a group of C-infinity diffeomorphi ...
GEOMETRY & TOPOLOGY PUBLICATIONS2019Revisiting the nilpotent polynomial Hales–Jewett theorem
Answering a question posed by Bergelson and Leibman in [6], we establish a nilpotent version of the Polynomial Hales–Jewett Theorem that contains the main theorem in [6] as a special case. Important to the formulation and the proof of our main theorem is t ...
