The semigroup of the homotopy classes of the self-homotopy maps of a finite complex which induce the trivial homomorphism on homotopy groups is nilpotent. We determine the nilpotency of these semigroups of compact Lie groups and finite Hopf…

We characterize group compactifications of discrete groups for which there exists an equivariant retraction onto the boundary. In particular, we prove an equivariant analogue of Brouwer's No-Retraction theorem for large classes of group…

The aim of this paper is to give a proof of the restriction theorems for principal bundles with a reductive algebraic group as structure group in arbitrary characteristic. Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over any field $k=\bar{k}$,…

We proved a new Siegel-Weil formula for orthogonal and symplectic groups, which will be used later to prove a generalization of Siegel-Weil formula for loop groups.

We prove a variant of the well-known Reidemeister-Schreier theorem for finitely $L$-presented groups. More precisely, we prove that each finite index subgroup of a finitely $L$-presented group is itself finitely $L$-presented. Our proof is…

In this paper, we will prove some sufficient conditions for the solvability of groups.

Using a characterization of parabolics in reductive Lie groups due to Furstenberg, elementary properties of buildings, and some algebraic topology, we give a new proof of Tits' classification of 2-transitive Lie groups.

We show that the existence of a left-invariant pluriclosed Hermitian metric on a unimodular Lie group with a left-invariant abelian complex structure forces the group to be $2$-step nilpotent. Moreover, we prove that the pluriclosed flow…

We provide an elementary proof of the support of the law of a hypoelliptic Brownian motion on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. We consider a control norm associated to left-invariant vector fields on $\mathbb{H}$, and describe the support…

This note records some dilation theorems about contraction semigroups on a Hilbert space - all of which fall into the categories "known" or "probably known" - that I proved while working on my PhD in mathematics (under the supervision of…

In a previous article, we introduced notions of finiteness obstruction, Euler characteristic, and L^2-Euler characteristic for wide classes of categories. In this sequel, we prove the compatibility of those notions with homotopy colimits of…

We establish a surprising correspondence between groups definable in o-minimal structures and linear algebraic groups, in the nilpotent case. It turns out that in the o-minimal context, like for finite groups, nilpotency is equivalent to…

This article contains a Wiener Lemma for the convolution algebra $\ell^1(\mathbb H,\mathbb C)$ and group $C^\ast$-algebra $C^\ast(\mathbb H)$ of the discrete Heisenberg group $\mathbb H$. At first, a short review of Wiener's Lemma in its…

Let $L$ be the sublaplacian and $T$ the partial Laplacian with respect to central variables on H-type groups. We investigate a class of invariant differential operators by the joint functional calculus of $L$ and $T$. We establish…

The paper studies weak Paley-Wiener properties for group extensions by use of Mackey's theory. The main theorem establishes sufficient conditions on the dual action to ensure that the group has the weak Paley-Wiener property. The theorem…

In the present context, we investigate to obtain some more results about $2$-nilpotent multiplier $\mathcal{M}^{(2)}(L)$ of a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra $L$. For instance, we characterize the structure of…

For certain nilpotent real Lie groups constructed as semidirect products, algebras of invariant differential operators on some coadjoint orbits are used in the study of boundedness properties of the Weyl-Pedersen calculus of their…

Let G be an algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic such that its neutral connected component is a unipotent group. We consider a certain class of closed idempotents in the braided monoidal category…

We present a short elementary proof of the Gearhart-Pr\"uss theorem for bounded $C_0$-semigroups on Hilbert spaces.

We prove that bi-invariant word metrics are bounded on certain Chevalley groups. As an application we provide restrictions on Hamiltonian actions of such groups.
