A particularly easy, even if for long overlooked way is presented for defining globally arbitrary Lie group actions on smooth functions on Euclidean domains. This way is based on the appropriate use of the usual parametric representation of…
We consider a simple instance of action up to homotopy. More precisely, we consider strict actions of DGLAs in degrees -1 and 0 on degree 1 NQ-manifolds. In a more conventional language this means: strict actions of Lie algebra crossed…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of isometric immersions of a simply connected Riemannian manifold into a two-step nilpotent Lie group. This comprises the case of immersions into $H$-type groups.
A Lie groupoid can be thought of as a generalization of a Lie group in which the multiplication is only defined for certain pairs of elements. From another perspective, Lie groupoids can be regarded as manifolds endowed with a type of…
The problem of reduction of multisymplectic manifolds by the action of Lie groups is stated and discussed, as a previous step to give a fully covariant scheme of reduction for classical field theories with symmetries.
In this article, motivated by the study of symplectic structures on manifolds with boundary and the systematic study of $b$-symplectic manifolds started in [12], we prove a slice theorem for Lie group actions on $b$-symplectic manifolds.
In this paper we introduce the notion of a 2-action of a Lie 2-algebra on an arbitrary manifold M. Furthermore, in [Rog12], given a n-plectic manifold (M, $\omega$), the authors consider a Lie Infinity-algebra L$\infty$ (M, $\omega$), which…
These notes deal with a few aspects of Lie algebras and Lie groups, including some matters related to exponentiation.
This note provides a formula for the character of the Lie algebra of the fundamental group of a surface, viewed as a module over the symplectic group.
Using the notion of existentially closed structures, we obtain embedding theorems for groups and Lie algebras. We also prove the existence of some groups and Lie algebras with prescribed properties.
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for both square integrability and smoothness for densities of a probability measure on a compact connected Lie group.
Here, we classify Lie groups acting isometrically on compact Lorentz manifolds, and in particular we describe the geometric structure of compact homogeneous Lorentz manifolds.
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 construct smooth actions of arbitrary compact Lie groups on complex projective spaces, such that the corresponding transformations arising from the group action do not preserve any symplectic structure on the complex projective space.
The main aim of this paper is to classify the distinct multiplicative Lie algebra structures (up to isomorphism) on a given group. We also see that for a given group $G$, every homomorphism from the non-abelian exterior square $G \wedge G$…
We investigate some infinite dimensional Lie algebras and their associated Poisson structures which arise from a Lie group action on a manifold. If $G$ is a Lie group, $\g$ its Lie algebra and $M$ is a manifold on which $G$ acts, then the…
A multiplicatively closed, horizontal foliation on a Lie groupoid may be viewed as a "pseudoaction" on the base manifold $M$. A pseudoaction generates a pseudogroup of transformations of $M$ in the same way an ordinary Lie group action…
Differential invariants of a (pseudo)group action can vary when restricted to invariant submanifolds (differential equations). The algebra is still governed by the Lie-Tresse theorem, but may change a lot. We describe in details the case of…
We explore to what extent the underlying variety of a connected algebraic group or the underlying manifold of a real Lie group determines its group structure.
Let $G$ be a noncompact real algebraic group and $\G<G$ a lattice. One purpose of this paper is to show that there is an smooth, volume preserving, mixing action of $G$ or $\G$ on a compact manifold which admits a smooth deformation. We…
