Definition of free group action on a scheme
This may be an elementary question, but I didn't know what it means for a group action on a scheme to be free from the textbooks I read. I guess that at least for schemes locally of finite ...

How much a general a theory of matrices equivalence under group actions we have?
Let $F$ be a field and let $M_{m,n}\,(F)$ be the $F$-linear space of $m \times n$ matrices over $F$. Let $G$ be a group acting on $M_{m,n}\,(F)$.
My question is: Do we have some theory about the ...

Liouville-Arnold and fibration relative to a convex polytope
Liouville-Arnold's theorem indicates that given a Hamiltonian torus action on a manifold and a set of $n$ functions $F$ from the manifold to $\mathbb{R}^n$ defining an integrable system, the pre image ...

What is the quotient of the unit sphere by the bilateral shift on infinite-dimensional separable real Hilbert space?
Let H denote the real Hilbert space 𝓁2(ℤ) with its usual inner product.
If {en | n ∈ ℤ} denotes its standard orthonormal basis, define the unitary mapping W : H → H via W(en) = en+1, extended ...

Why $d\mu (q)\delta (k,q)$ is $G$-invariant?
Let $G$ be a Lie group acting transitively on a smooth manifold $M$ endowed with a quasi-invariant measure $\mu$ (then there exists Radon-Nikodym derivative $\rho_f$ for every $f\in G$). For $k\in M$,...

Equivariant disk theorem in dimension 2
All groups I'll consider are finite.
An important part of equivariant differential topology in dimension 3 is the equivariant disk theorem, which says that for a $G$-action on a compact $3$-manifold ...

Hopf algebras actions
Can you write down a general type of Hopf algebra action? How do you justify the name "action", when it is already used for group actions?
There must be a common core, if the same term is ...

What is a cogroup and what are coactions?
What is a cogroup and what are coactions?
A very nice way to think about a group action on an object $X$ is as a group homomorphism from $G$ to $\operatorname{Aut}(X)$. Is there something similar for ...

Orbits/affine spaces in GAP
Another GAP-related question.
I need to compute the orbits of a lot (probably, hundreds of thousands) groups acting on $\mathbb{F}_2$-vectors spaces of dimension 23 or 22. The groups range from (...

Expressing the union of principal orbits as a disjoint union of global slices for proper group actions
Setup:
I was reading about slices and principal orbit theorems (Theorem 3.4.6) from these notes.
Let the Lie group $G$ act on a complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ isometrically on $M$, i.e. $\phi^{*}...

Extend a circle action on $3$-manifolds
Let $M$ be an oriented closed $3$-manifold equipped with an effective smooth circle action.
Can we have a classification of all such $M$ such that there exists a $4$-manifold $N$ with $\partial N=M$, ...

Topology of an orbit space constructed from a Fréchet space under the "local" action of some "smooth" group
Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected compact subgroup of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(\mathbb{R}^3)$. For example, we may take $G$ to be $\operatorname{SO}(3)$.
Next, let $\mathcal{S}(\...
