The Reeb graph $\mathcal{R}(f) $ is one of the fundamental invariants of a smooth function $f\colon M\to \mathbb{R} $ with isolated critical points. It is defined as the quotient space $M/_{\!\sim}$ of the closed manifold $M$ by a relation…

Let $Y$ be a complex algebraic variety, $G \curvearrowright Y$ an action of an algebraic group on $Y$, $U \subseteq Y({\mathbb C})$ a complex submanifold, $\Gamma < G({\mathbb C})$ a discrete, Zariski dense subgroup of $G({\mathbb C})$…

In this paper we generalize some results of Richard Palais to the case of Lie supergroups and Lie superalgebras. More precisely, let $G$ be a Lie supergroup, $\mathfrak g$ its Lie superalgebra and let $\rho$ be an infinitesimal action (a…

Let G = SL(n,R) (or, more generally, let G be a connected, noncompact, simple Lie group). For any compact Lie group K, it is easy to find a compact manifold M, such that there is a volume-preserving, connection-preserving, ergodic action of…

We formulate path integrals on any Riemannian manifold which admits the action of a compact Lie group by isometric transformations. We consider a path integral on a Riemannian manifold M on which a Lie group G acts isometrically. Then we…

We presented a systematic treatment of a Hilbert criterion for stability theory for an action of a real reductive group $G$ on a real submanifold $X$ of a K\"ahler manifold $Z$. More precisely, we suppose the action of a compact connected…

Given a connected semisimple Lie group $G$ and an arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$, it is well-known that each irreducible representation $\pi$ of $G$ occurs in the discrete spectrum $L^2_{\text{disc}}(\Gamma\backslash G)$ of…

Given a group action, known by its infinitesimal generators, we exhibit a complete set of syzygies on a generating set of differential invariants. For that we elaborate on the reinterpretation of Cartan's moving frame by Fels and Olver…

We study actions by lattices in higher-rank (semi)simple Lie groups on compact manifolds. By classifying certain measures invariant under a related higher-rank abelian action (the diagonal action on the suspension space) we deduce a number…

In this paper we develop an abstract setup for hamiltonian group actions as follows: Starting with a continuous 2-cochain $\omega$ on a Lie algebra $h$ with values in an $h$-module $V$, we associate subalgebras $sp(h,\omega) \supeq…

For a Hamiltonian, proper and free action of a Lie group $G$ on a Dirac manifold $(M,L)$, with a regular moment map $\mu:M\to \mathfrak{g}^*$, the manifolds $M/G$, $\mu^{-1}(0)$ and $\mu^{-1}(0)/G$ all have natural induced Dirac structures.…

Given a finitely generated group $G$, the possible actions of $G$ on the real line (without global fixed points), considered up to semi-conjugacy, can be encoded by the space of orbits of a flow on a compact space $(Y, \Phi)$ naturally…

Let G be the Heisenberg group of real lower triangular 3x3 matrices with unit diagonal. A locally free smooth action of G on a manifold M^4 is given by linearly independent vector fields X_1, X_2, X_3 such that X_3 = [X_1,X_2] and [X_1,X_3]…

We address the problem of computing the fundamental group of a symplectic $S^1$-manifold for non-Hamiltonian actions on compact manifolds, and for Hamiltonian actions on non-compact manifolds with a proper moment map. We generalize known…

We consider a free smooth action $\Phi \colon G \times M \to M$ of a connected compact Lie group $G$ on a manifold $M$. We examine the Cartan filtration of the complex of differential forms of $M$. The associated spectral sequence…

Let Phi : M --> g^* be a proper moment map associated to an action of a compact connected Lie group, G, on a connected symplectic manifold, (M,\omega). A collective function is a pullback via \Phi of a smooth function on g^*. In this paper…

We consider a family of Riemannian manifolds M such that for each unit speed geodesic gamma of M there exists a distinguished bijective correspondence L between infinitesimal translations along gamma and infinitesimal rotations around it.…

In this article, we provide an exposition about symplectic toric manifolds, which are symplectic manifolds $(M^{2n}, \omega)$ equipped with an effective Hamiltonian $\mathbb{T}^n\cong (S^1)^n$-action. We summarize the construction of $M$ as…

The assumption in the main result of [Peter W. Michor: Basic Differential Forms for Actions of Lie Groups, Proc. AMS 124, 5 (1996) 1633-1642] is removed. Thus: A section of a Riemannian $G$-manifold $M$ is a closed submanifold $\Si$ which…
