Let M be a topological manifold modelled on topological vector spaces, which is the union of an ascending sequence of such manifolds M_n. We formulate a mild condition ensuring that the k-th homotopy group of M is the direct limit of the…

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 show how to control the error term in Mertens' formula and related theorems in the context of additive arithmetical semigroups and carry over an old related result of Meissel.

Lie's third theorem does not hold for Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids. In this article, we show that Lie's third theorem is valid within a specific class of diffeological groupoids that we call `singular Lie groupoids.' To achieve this, we…

A Riemannian manifold is called \emph{weakly Einstein} if the tensor $R_{iabc}R_{j}^{~~abc}$ is a scalar multiple of the metric tensor $g_{ij}$. We consider weakly Einstein Lie groups with a left-invariant metric which are weakly Einstein.…

There is a well understood way of generating random coverings of a fixed manifold by sampling homomorphisms from the fundamental group of this manifold into the symmetric group. We prove a central limit theorem for the number of connected…

We characterise higher order Riesz transforms on the Heisenberg group and also show that they satisfy dimension-free bounds under some assumptions on the multipliers. Using transfer- ence theorems, we deduce boundedness theorems for Riesz…

We construct uncountably categorical 3-nilpotent groups of exponent p > 3. They are not one-based and do not allow the interpretation of an infinite field. Therefore they are counterexamples to Zilbers Conjecture. First 2-nilpotent new…

In this article we study the homology of nilpotent groups. In particular a certain vanishing result for the homology and cohomology of nilpotent groups is proved.

We construct examples of two-step and three-step nilpotent Lie groups whose automorphism groups are `small' in the sense of either not having a dense orbit for the action on the Lie group, or being nilpotent (the latter being stronger).…

We discuss some norm estimations for integrated representations. We use the covariant transform to extend Howe's method from the Heisenberg group to general nilpotent Lie groups.

As a step toward proving an index theorem for hypoelliptic operators Heisenberg manifolds, including those on CR and contact manifolds, we construct an analogue for Heisenberg manifolds of Connes' tangent groupoid of a manifold $M$. As it…

We study bounds on nilpotence in H*(BG), the mod p cohomology of the classifying space of a compact Lie group G. Part of this is a report of our previous work on this problem, updated to reflect the consequences of Peter Symonds recent…

We investigate locally compact topological groups for which a generalized analogue of Heisenberg uncertainty inequality hold. In particular, it is shown that this inequality holds for $\mathbb{R}^n \times K$ (where $K$ is a separable…

We study group-graded Lie algebras L with finite support X. We show that L is nilpotent of |X|-bounded class if X is arithmetically-free. Conversely: we show that Y supports the grading of a non-nilpotent Lie algebra if Y is not…

We answer in the affirmative two conjectures made by Klein and Williams. First, in a range of dimensions, the equivariant Reidemeister trace defines a complete obstruction to removing $n$-periodic points from a self-map $f$. Second, this…

We prove a duality theorem for quantum groupoid (weak Hopf algebra) actions that extends the well-known result for usual Hopf algebras.

We prove a strong rigidity property of the Heisenberg groups, that is, they can be distinguished from any other 1-connected Lie groups via their unitary dual spaces, in particular via the Morita equivalence class of their group…

We investigate asymptotic behaviour of averaging operators for actions of simple rank-one Lie groups. It was previously known that these averaging operators converge almost everywhere, and we establish a more precise asymptotic formula that…

We develop the theory of lattice point counting on connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie groups of step-two, endowed with the parabolic type dilation and a family of homogeneous norms $ \mathcal{N}_{\alpha,M}(x,…
