Equivariant Euler characteristics and -homology Euler classes for proper cocompact -manifolds.
A lower estimate is proved for the number of critical orbits and critical values of a G-invariant C¹ function , where G is a finite nontrivial group acting freely and orthogonally on . Neither Morse theory nor the minimax method is applied. The proofs are based on a general version of Borsuk’s Antipodal Theorem for equivariant maps of joins of G-sets.
We present the review of noncommutative symmetries applied to Connes' formulation of spectral triples. We introduce the notion of equivariant spectral triples with Hopf algebras as isometries of noncommutative manifolds, relate it to other elements of theory (equivariant K-theory, homology, equivariant differential algebras) and provide several examples of spectral triples with their isometries: isospectral (twisted) deformations (including noncommutative torus) and finite spectral triples.
We study ergodic properties of stochastic geometric wave equations on a particular model with the target being the 2D sphere while considering only solutions which are independent of the space variable. This simplification leads to a degenerate stochastic equation in the tangent bundle of the 2D sphere. Studying this equation, we prove existence and non-uniqueness of invariant probability measures for the original problem and obtain also results on attractivity towards an invariant measure. We also...
