This article is a partial answer to the question of which groups can be represented as isometry groups of formal languages for generalized Levenshtein distances. Namely, it is proved that for any language the modulus of the difference…

We present a novel Type II variational principle on the cotangent bundle of a Lie group which enforces Type II boundary conditions, i.e., fixed initial position and final momentum. In general, such Type II variational principles are only…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group and $\text{Sub}_G$ be the space of closed subgroups of $G$ equipped with the Chabauty topology. In this article, we investigate the existence of invariant random subgroups of $G$ supported on various orbits…

We study three natural bi-invariant partial orders on a certain covering group of the automorphism group of a bounded symmetric domain of tube type; these orderings are defined using the geometry of the Shilov boundary, Lie semigroup theory…

A definition of invariance in Lie's sense for a boundary value problem (BVP) with the basic evolution differential equations is proposed. A problem of group classification at a wide class of BVPs parameterized by arbitrary elements is…

Given a partial action of a topological group $G$ on a space $X$, we determine properties $\mathcal P$ which can be extended from $X$ to its globalization. We treat the cases when $\mathcal P$ is any of the following: Hausdorff, regular,…

In this paper, we study discrete spectrum of invariant measures for countable discrete amenable group actions. We show that an invariant measure has discrete spectrum if and only if it has bounded measure complexity. We also prove that,…

We formulate and prove relative versions of several classical decompositions known in the theory of Chevalley groups over commutative rings. As an application we obtain upper estimates for the width of principal congruence subgroups in…

We bound the value of the Casson invariant of any integral homology 3-sphere $M$ by a constant times the distance-squared to the identity, measured in any word metric on the Torelli group $\T$, of the element of $\T$ associated to any…

We give a short proof of Chevalley's theorem that every algebraic group is an extension of an Abelian variety by a linear algebraic group. Along the way we treat Bertini's irreducibility theorem.

We pose some open problems related to boundedness of real-valued functions on balleans and coarse spaces. Also we prove that the Bergman property of groups is a coarse invariant. A special attention is payed to balleans on groups.

We describe the full group of isometries of absolutely simple, compact, connected real Lie groups, of SO(4) and of U(n), endowed with suitable bi-invariant Riemannian metrics.

We prove that the restriction of a probability measure invariant under a nonhyperbolic, ergodic and totally irreducible automorphism of a compact connected abelian group to the leaves of the central foliation is severely restricted. We also…
