The main result of the paper is the complete classification of the compact connected Lie groups acting coisotropically on complex Grassmannians. This is used to determine the polar actions on the same manifolds.

We prove that any Lie subgroup $G$ (with finitely many connected components) of an infinite-dimensional topological group $\mathcal G$ which is an amalgamated product of two closed subgroups, can be conjugated to one factor. We apply this…

We give a lower bound to the dimension of a contractible manifold on which a given group can act properly discontinuously. In particular, we show that the $n$-fold product of nonabelian free groups cannot act properly discontinuously on…

In this paper we try to generalize the Haefliger theorem on completly solvable Lie foliations. We prove that: every completely solvable Lie foliation on a compact manifold is the inverse image of a homogenus foliation. Every manifold in…

We provide an equivariant description/classification of all complete (compact or not) non-negatively curved manifolds M together with a co-compact action by a reflection group W, and moreover, classify such W. In particular, we show that…

We prove that the mapping class group of a closed surface acts ergodically on connected components of the representation variety corresponding to a connected compact Lie group.

We study the question of whether or not contractive representations of logmodular algebras are completely contractive. We prove that a 2-contractive representation of a logmodular algebra extends to a positive map on the enveloping…

Suppose that $X=G/K$ is the quotient of a locally compact group by a closed subgroup. If $X$ is locally contractible and connected, we prove that $X$ is a manifold. If the $G$-action is faithful, then $G$ is a Lie group.

Let $X$ be a compact smooth manifold, possibly with boundary. Denote by $X_1,\dots,X_r$ the connected components of $X$. Assume that the integral cohomology of $X$ is torsion free and supported in even degrees. We prove that there exists a…

We consider complex manifolds that admit actions by holomorphic transformations of classical simple real Lie groups and classify all such manifolds in a natural situation. Under our assumptions, which require the group at hand to be…

We give an independent, and perhaps somewhat simplified, description of the product in negative Tate-cohomology (the generalised version for compact Lie-groups). We describe, but do not compute, the corresponding action of the…

Definition of a smooth action of a CQG on a compact, smooth manifold is given and studied. It is shown that a smooth action is always injective. Furthermore A necessary and sufficient condition for a lift of the smooth action as a bimodule…

We prove that every slim double Lie groupoid with proper core action is completely determined by a factorization of a certain canonically defined "diagonal" Lie groupoid.

The Lie group of symmetry of the one-dimensional differential equation of electron magnetohydrodynamics with effect of electron inertia and finite conducting is found. It's indicated that this group is group of shift of independent…

We give an affirmative answer to the question whether there exist Lie algebras for suitable closed subgroups of the unitary group $U(\mathcal{H})$ in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with $U(\mathcal{H})$ equipped with the strong operator…

We investigate which complex tori admits complex Lie subgroups whose closure is not complex.

By considering suitable Poisson groupoids, we develop an approach to obtain Lie group structures on (subgroups of) the Poisson diffeomorphism groups of various classes of Poisson manifolds. As applications, we show that the Poisson…

We prove that Ad-semisimple conjugacy classes in a connected Lie group $G$ are closed embedded submanifolds of $G$. We also prove that if $\alpha:H\to G$ is a homomorphism of connected Lie groups such that the kernel of $\alpha$ is discrete…

We prove that any real-analytic, volume-preserving action of a lattice $\Gamma$ in a simple Lie group with $\Qrank(\Gamma)\geq 7$ on a closed 4-manifold of nonzero Euler characteristic factors through a finite group action.

We consider continuous extensions of minimal rotations on a locally connected compact group X by arbitrary locally compact Lie groups and prove regularity (i.e. the existence of orbit closures which project onto the whole basis X) in…
