Orbit Spaces Arising from Isometric Actions on Hyperbolic Spaces
Let be a differentiable action of a Lie group on a differentiable manifold and consider the orbit space with the quotient topology. Dimension of is called the cohomogeneity of the action of on . If is a differentiable manifold of cohomogeneity one under the action of a compact and connected Lie group, then the orbit space is homeomorphic to one of the spaces , , or . In this paper we suppo...
متن کاملMedian Spaces and Spaces with Measured Walls
We prove the existence of a close connection between spaces with measured walls and median metric spaces. In particular we show that some spaces with measured walls (e.g. real hyperbolic spaces) embed into median metric spaces which are at finite Hausdorff distance from their embedded image. We also relate properties (T) and Haagerup (a-T-menability) to actions on median spaces and on spaces wi...
متن کاملKazhdan and Haagerup Properties from the Median Viewpoint
We prove the existence of a close connection between spaces with measured walls and median metric spaces. We then relate properties (T) and Haagerup (a-T-menability) to actions on median spaces and on spaces with measured walls. This allows us to explore the relationship between the classical properties (T) and Haagerup and their versions using affine isometric actions on L-spaces. It also allo...
متن کاملQuotients by non-reductive algebraic group actions
Geometric invariant theory (GIT) was developed in the 1960s by Mumford in order to construct quotients of reductive group actions on algebraic varieties and hence to construct and study a number of moduli spaces, including, for example, moduli spaces of bundles over a nonsingular projective curve [26, 28]. Moduli spaces often arise naturally as quotients of varieties by algebraic group actions,...
متن کاملGroup Actions on Banach Spaces
We survey the recent developments concerning fixed point properties for group actions on Banach spaces. In the setting of Hilbert spaces such fixed point properties correspond to Kazhdan’s property (T). Here we focus on the general, non-Hilbert case, we discuss the methods, examples and several applications. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20J06, 18H10, 46B99
