It is known that there are 34 classes of six-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups, many of which admit left-invariant symplectic and complex structures. Among them there are three classes of groups on which there are no left-invariant…
We show that a complex structure on a nilpotent almost abelian real Lie algebra is unique if it exists. As a consequence, we get full control over the cohomology and deformations of almost abelian complex nilmanifolds.
In this paper we briefly survey the classical problem of understanding which Lie algebras admit a complex structure, put in the broader perspective of almost complex structures with special properties. We focus on the different behavior of…
We give an explicit construction of Lie algebras of type $E_7$ out of a Lie algebra of type $D_6$ with some restrictions. Up to odd degree extensions, every Lie algebra of type $E_7$ arises this way. For Lie algebras that admit a…
We study ideals of Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on finite-dimensional Lie algebras. We present the first example of a three-step nilpotent Lie algebra which does not admit a Novikov structure. On the other hand we show that any…
In this article studies questions about the existence of left-invariant K\"{a}hler and semi-para-K\"{a}hler structures on six-dimensional unsolvable Lie groups whose Lie algebras are semidirect products. According to the classification…
We investigate the local geometry of a pair of independent contact structures on 3-manifolds under maps that independently preserve each contact structure. We discover that such maps are homotheties on the contact 1-forms and we discover…
We classify the 6-dimensional Lie algebras of the form $g\times g$ that admit integrable complex structure. We also endow a Lie algebra of the kind $o(n)\oplus o(n)$ with such a complex structure. The motivation comes from geometric…
We present a list of all isomorphism classes of nonsolvable Lie algebras of dimension less than 7 over a finite field.
The invariants of all complex solvable rigid Lie algebras up to dimension eight are computed. Moreover we show, for rank one solvable algebras, some criteria to deduce to non-existence of non-trivial invariants or the existence of…
We discuss the known evidence for the conjecture that the Dolbeault cohomology of nilmanifolds with left-invariant complex structure can be computed as Lie-algebra cohomology and also mention some applications.
Codimension 2 contact submanifolds are the natural generalization of transverse knots to contact manifolds of arbitrary dimension. In this paper, we construct new invariants of codimension 2 contact submanifolds. Our main invariant can be…
We prove that any real Lie group of dimension \leq 5 admits a left invariant flat projective structure. We also prove that a real Lie group L of dimension \leq 5 admits a left invariant flat affine structure if and only if the Lie algebra…
In this paper we study contact structure on 2-step nilpotent, Heisenberg type Lie groups. We decompose this Lie groups to center and orthogonal complement, then investigate properties of both orthogonal Lie subgroups. Finally, we provide a…
We discuss the construction of Sp(2)Sp(1)-structures whose fundamental form is closed. In particular, we find 10 new examples of 8-dimensional nilmanifolds that admit an invariant closed 4-form with stabiliser Sp(2)Sp(1). Our constructions…
In this paper, we systematically investigate the nilpotentizer and nilpotent graph for a Lie superalgebra over the field of characteristic not equal to 2. First, we establish some fundamental properties of the nilpotentizer. Next, we show…
We study a type of left-invariant structure on Lie groups, or equivalently on Lie algebras. We introduce obstructions to the existence of a hypo structure, namely the 5-dimensional geometry of hypersurfaces in manifolds with holonomy SU(3).…
A study is made of left-invariant $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures with an exact 3-form on a Lie group $G$ whose Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ admits a codimension-one nilpotent ideal $\mathfrak{h}$. It is shown that such a Lie group $G$ cannot admit…
We study Lie algebras of generators of infinitesimal symmetries of almost-cosymplectic-contact structures of odd dimensional manifolds. The almost-cosymplectic-contact structure admits on the sheaf of pairs of 1-forms and functions the…
We prove that for any $n\geq 4$ there are infinitely many real homotopy types of $2n$-dimensional nilmanifolds admitting generalized complex structures of every type $k$, for $0 \leq k \leq n$. This is in deep contrast to the…
