Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field with characteristic zero, and $\mathfrak{g}$ a Lie algebra. Let $Y(\mathfrak{g})$ be the subalgebra of the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak{g})=K[\mathfrak{g}^*]$ made of the polynomials which are…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a Banach algebra for which the group of invertible elements is connected. A subspace $\mathcal L \subseteq \mathcal A$ is a Lie ideal in $\mathcal A$ if, and only if, it is invariant under inner automorphisms. This…

We call an operator algebra A {\em reversible} if A with reversed multiplication is also an abstract operator algebra (in the modern operator space sense). This class of operator algebras is intimately related to the {\em symmetric operator…

Let X be a complex Banach space of dimension at least 2, and let S be a multiplicative semigroup of operators on X such that the rank of AB - BA is at most 1 for all pairs {A,B} in S. We prove that S has a non-trivial invariant subspace…

We study compact complex manifolds $M$ admitting a conformal holomorphic Riemannian structure invariant under the action of a complex semi-simple Lie group $G$. We prove that if the group $G$ acts transitively and essentially, then $M$ is…

In the present note we introduce tame functionals on Banach algebras. A functional $f \in A^*$ on a Banach algebra $A$ is tame if the naturally defined linear operator $A \to A^*, a \mapsto f \cdot a$ factors through Rosenthal Banach spaces…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field ${\bf k}$ of characteristic not equal to 2, let $\B$ be the variety of all Borel subgroups of $G$, and let $K$ be a symmetric subgroup of $G$. Fixing a…

For a manifold M we define a structure on the group action of Diff(M) on the smooth functions on M which reduces to the usual differential geometry upon differentiation at zero along the one-parameter groups of Diff(M). This ``integrated…

We describe the proper closed invariant subspaces of the integration operator when it acts continuously on countable intersections and countable unions of weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disc or the complex…

Functions which are covariant or invariant under the transformations of a compact linear group $G$ acting in a euclidean space $\real^n$, can be profitably studied as functions defined in the orbit space of the group. The orbit space is the…

We define a noncommutative analogue of invariant de Rham cohomology. More precisely, for a triple $(A,\mathcal{H},M)$ consisting of a Hopf algebra $\mathcal{H}$, an $\mathcal{H}$-comodule algebra $A$, an $\mathcal{H}$-module $M$, and a…

We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…

We present a geometric approach to defining an algebra $\hat{\mathcal G}(M)$ (the Colombeau algebra) of generalized functions on a smooth manifold $M$ containing the space ${\mathcal D}'(M)$ of distributions on $M$. Based on differential…

The space of $G$-invariant metrics on a homogeneous space $G/H$ is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of inner products on the tangent space $\fr{m}\cong T_{{\it o}}(G/H)$, which are invariant under the isotropy representation. When…

We review the notion of submanifold algebra, as introduced by T. Masson, and discuss some properties and examples. A submanifold algebra of an associative algebra $A$ is a quotient algebra $B$ such that all derivations of $B$ can be lifted…

We show that finitely subgraded Lie algebras of compact operators have invariant subspaces when conditions of quasinilpotence are imposed on certain components of the subgrading. This allows us to obtain some useful information about the…

This is a survey article of geometric properties of noncommutative symmetric spaces of measurable operators $E(\mathcal{M},\tau)$, where $\mathcal{M}$ is a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful, normal, semifinite trace $\tau$, and…

For a topological group $G$, amenability can be characterized by the amenability of the convolution Banach algebra $L^1(G)$. Here a Banach algebra $A$ is called amenable if every bounded derivation from $A$ into any dual--type…

Let $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X,\mu)$ be a measure preserving action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a standard probability space $(X,\mu)$. We prove that if the action $\Gamma\curvearrowright X$ is not profinite and satisfies a certain…

Given an action of a Lie group on a smooth manifold, we discuss the induced action on the Hochschild cohomology of smooth functions, and notions of invariance on this space. Depending on whether one considers invariance of cochains or…
