In this work it is shown that a necessary condition for the completeness of the geodesics of left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups is also sufficient in the case of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, and not sufficient…

We generalize the classical construction principles of infinite-dimensional real (and complex) Lie groups to the case of Lie groups over non-discrete topological fields. In particular, we discuss linear Lie groups, mapping groups, test…

We consider 5-dimensional Lie groups with left-invariant Riemannian metrics. For such groups we give a partial classification of left-invariant conformal foliations with minimal leaves of codimension 2. These foliations produce local…

We present a new technique for constructing solutions of quasilinear systems of first-order partial differential equations, in particular inhomogeneous ones. A generalization of the Riemann invariants method to the case of inhomogeneous…

We present alternative postulates for Euclidean geometry whose merit is that they lead to a new class of invariants and associated geometries for real finite-dimensional unital associative algebras.

We study $n$-dimensional K\"ahler manifolds whose geodesic flows possess $n$ first integrals in involution that are fibrewise hermitian forms and simultaneously normalizable. Under some mild assumption, one can associate with such a…

We define a formal Riemannian metric on a given conformal class of metrics on a closed Riemann surface. We show interesting formal properties for this metric, in particular the curvature is nonpositive and the Liouville energy is…

Arnold showed that the Euler equations of an ideal fluid describe geodesics in the Lie algebra of incompressible vector fields. We will show that helicity induces a splitting of the Lie algebra into two isotropic subspaces, forming a Manin…

We give the expression of the metric derived from Lie groups. For the metric derived from classical Lie groups such as the unitary group, the orthogonal group and the symplectic group, we conjecture that the metric becomes the Einstein…
