Group contraction is an algebraic map that relates two classes of Lie groups by a limiting process. We utilize this notion for the compactification of the class of Cartan motion groups. The compactification process is then applied to reduce…
In \cite{Kramer11} Kramer proves for a large class of semisimple Lie groups that they admit just one locally compact $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff topology compatible with the group operations. We present two different methods of generalising…

The variational problem for the functional $F=\frac12\|\phi^*\omega\|_{L^2}^2$ is considered, where $\phi:(M,g)\to (N,\omega)$ maps a Riemannian manifold to a symplectic manifold. This functional arises in theoretical physics as the strong…
Classical mechanical systems are modeled by a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, and their symmetries, encoded in the action of a Lie group $G$ on $M$ by diffeomorphisms that preserves $\omega$. These actions, which are called "symplectic",…
We introduce a novel approach to perform first-order optimization with orthogonal and unitary constraints. This approach is based on a parametrization stemming from Lie group theory through the exponential map. The parametrization…

Parametric high-fidelity simulations are of interest for a wide range of applications. But the restriction of computational resources renders such models to be inapplicable in a real-time context or in multi-query scenarios. Model order…
The symplectic Stiefel manifold, denoted by $\mathrm{Sp}(2p,2n)$, is the set of linear symplectic maps between the standard symplectic spaces $\mathbb{R}^{2p}$ and $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. When $p=n$, it reduces to the well-known set of $2n\times…
Symplectic self-adjointness of Hamiltonian operator matrices is studied, which arises in symplectic elasticity and optimal control. For the cases of diagonal domain and off-diagonal domain, necessary and sufficient conditions are shown. The…
We show how locally smooth actions of compact Lie groups on a manifold $X$ can be used to obtain new upper bounds for the topological complexity $\TC(X)$, in the sense of Farber. We also obtain new bounds for the topological complexity of…
The paper discusses various aspects of time-optimal control of quantum spin systems, modelled as right-invariant systems on a compact Lie group G. The main results are the reduction of such a system to an equivalent system on a homogeneous…
We consider nontrivial critical models in $d=6+\epsilon$ spacetime dimensions with anticommuting scalars transforming under the symplectic group $\text{Sp}(N)$. These models are nonunitary, but the couplings are real and all operator…
Geometric methods have useful application for solving problems in a range of quantum information disciplines, including the synthesis of time-optimal unitaries in quantum control. In particular, the use of Cartan decompositions to solve…

Non-transitive subgroups of the orthogonal group play an important role in the non-Euclidean geometry. If $G$ is a closed subgroup in the orthogonal group such that the orbit of a single Euclidean unit vector does not cover the (Euclidean)…
