We describe the structure of the free actions of the Klein bottle group by orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the plane. This group is generated by two elements $a,b$, where the conjugate of $b$ by $a$ equals the inverse of $b$. The main result is that $a$ must act properly discontinuously, while $b$ cannot act properly discontinuously. As a corollary, we describe some torsion free groups that cannot act freely on the plane. We also find some properties which are reminiscent of Brouwer theory for the infinite cyclic group $Z$, in particular that every free action is virtually wandering.
A Cantor action is a minimal equicontinuous action of a countably generated group G on a Cantor space X. Such actions are also called generalized odometers in the literature. In this work, we introduce two new conjugacy invariants for Cantor actions,
Let $H_3(Bbb R)$ denote the 3-dimensional real Heisenberg group. Given a family of lattices $Gamma_1supsetGamma_2supsetcdots$ in it, let $T$ stand for the associated uniquely ergodic $H_3(Bbb R)$-{it odometer}, i.e. the inverse limit of the $H_3(Bbb
In this paper we study chaotic behavior of actions of a countable discrete group acting on a compact metric space by self-homeomorphisms. For actions of a countable discrete group G, we introduce local weak mixing and Li-Yorke chaos; and prove that
In this work, we investigate the dynamical and geometric properties of weak solenoids, as part of the development of a calculus of group chains associated to Cantor minimal actions. The study of the properties of group chains was initiated in the wor
An textit{algebraic} action of a discrete group $Gamma $ is a homomorphism from $Gamma $ to the group of continuous automorphisms of a compact abelian group $X$. By duality, such an action of $Gamma $ is determined by a module $M=widehat{X}$ over the
