Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1342)

Abstract

Obstructions to groups admitting a free equicontinuous action or distal action are defined and characterized. Some results which relate the order of solvability of a solvable group to the codimension of the flow and the height of a Furstenberg tower for the flow are given.
