We analyze the structure of locally compact groups which can be built up from p-adic Lie groups, for p in a given set of primes. In particular, we calculate the scale function and determine tidy subgroups for such groups, and use them to…
A pointwise-elliptic subset of a topological group is one whose elements all generate relatively-compact subgroups. A connected locally compact group has a dense pointwise-elliptic subgroup if and only if it is an extension by a compact…
We describe a geometric compactification of the moduli stack of left invariant complex structures on a fixed real Lie group or a fixed quotient. The extra points are CR structures transverse to a real foliation.
It is well known that every locally compact abelian group L can be decomposed as L_1 \oplus R^n, where L_1 contains a compact-open subgroup. In this paper, we use this decomposition to study the topological group Aut(L) of automorphisms of…
In this paper we construct compact forms associated with a complex Lie supergroup with Lie superalgebra of classical type.
Article is devoted to the Examples 2 and 3 of the symplectic solvable Lie groups $R$ with some special cohomological properties, which have been constructed by Benson and Gordon. But they are not succeeded in constructing corresponding…
We provide characterizations of Lie groups as compact-like groups in which all closed zero-dimensional metric (compact) subgroups are discrete. The "compact-like" properties we consider include (local) compactness, (local)…
Following work of Rieffel, we define the Cayley compactification of an abelian group with specified generating set. We investigate its structure using methods from discrete geometry and commutative algebra.
The rank rk(G) of a profinite group G is the supremum of d(H), where H ranges over all closed subgroups of G and d(H) denotes the minimal cardinality of a topological generating set for H. A compact topological group G admits the structure…
We classify the locally compact second-countable (l.c.s.c.) groups $A$ that are abelian and topologically characteristically simple. All such groups $A$ occur as the monolith of some soluble l.c.s.c. group $G$ of derived length at most $3$;…
Let F be the function field of a curve over a p-adic field. Let D/F be a central division algebra of prime exponent $\ell$ which is different from p. Assume that F contains a primitive ${\ell}^2$-th root of unity. Then the group…
A locally compact contraction group is a pair (G,f) where G is a locally compact group and f an automorphism of G which is contractive in the sense that the forward orbit under f of each g in G converges to the neutral element e, as n tends…
We introduce the notion of an R-group of which the clas- sical groups R, Z and R_+ are typical examples, and we study flows (X;H), where X is a locally compact space and H is a continuous R- group action on X with the further property that…
These lecture notes explain the construction and basic properties of the wonderful compactification of a complex semisimple group of adjoint type. An appendix discusses the more general case of a semisimple symmetric space.
We develop the basic topological properties of compact polygons, i.e. of compact topological Tits buildings of rank two. It is proved that the Coxeter diagram of such a building is always crystallographic, that is, compact connected n-gons…
Let D be a central simple algebra of prime degree over a field and let E be an SL_1(D)-torsor. We determine the complete motivic decomposition of certain compactifications of E. We also compute the Chow ring of E.
Let p be an arbitrary prime number and k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic l different from p. We construct maximal simple k-types of Levi subgroups M' of SLn(F), when F is a non-archimedean locally compact field of…
We study ergodic invariant random subgroups that give full measure to the subset of compact subgroups. We show that in real Lie groups, compactly generated $p$-adic Lie groups, locally compact hyperbolic groups and infinitely ended groups…
Without assuming the field structure on the additive group of real numbers $\mathbb{R}$ with the usual order $<,$ we explore the fact that every proper subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$ is either closed or dense. This property of subgroups of the…
We study Lie foliations on compact manifolds, in case the Lie group is compact. Our main results improve Tischler classical result on the existence of fibration and, as an application, we study the case the manifold has an amenable…
