We present estimates of number of simplices of given dimension of classical compact Lie groups. As in the previous work \cite{GMP2} the approach is a combination of an estimate of number of vertices with a use of valuation of the covering…

In the present paper we study the rigidity of 2-step Carnot groups, or equivalently, of graded 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras. We prove the alternative that depending on bi-dimensions of the algebra, the Lie algebra structure makes it either…

A new highly symmetrical model of the compact Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}^c_2$ is provided as a twisted ring group for the group $\mathbb{Z}_2^3$ and the ring $\mathbb{R}\oplus\mathbb{R}$. The model is self-contained and can be used without…

We describe a class (called regular) of invariant generalized complex structures on a real semisimple Lie group G. The problem reduces to the description of admissible pairs (\gk, \omega), where \gk is an appropriate regular subalgebra of…

We observe a correspondence between collections of closed subgroups and normal subgroups in totally disconnected locally compact groups. This correspondence is applied to prove structure theorems for two classes of totally disconnected…

Many open conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups can be studied by reducing them to related questions about quasi-simple groups. In such studies, $p$-radical subgroups typically play a critical role. To classify the…

For a compact Lie group G we show that if the representing spectrum for Borel cohomology generates its category of modules if G is connected. For a closed subgroup H of G we consider the map C^*(BG)--->C^*(BH) and establish the sense in…

For an element $g$ in a group $X$, we say that $g$ has 2-part order $2^{a}$ if $2^{a}$ is the largest power of 2 dividing the order of $g$. We prove lower bounds on the proportion of elements in finite classical groups in odd characteristic…

This is a survey of recent results on classification of compact quantum groups of Lie type, by which we mean quantum groups with the same fusion rules and dimensions of representations as for a compact connected Lie group $G$. The…

This paper explores further the connection between Langlands duality and T-duality for compact simple Lie groups, which appeared in work of Daenzer-Van Erp and Bunke-Nikolaus. We show that Langlands duality gives rise to isomorphisms of…

We investigate conformal actions of cocompact lattices in higher-rank simple Lie groups on compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Our main result gives a general bound on the real-rank of the lattice, which was already known for the action of…

A topological group is called a pro-Lie group if it is isomorphic to a closed subgroup of a product of finite-dimensional real Lie groups. This class of groups is closed under the formation of arbitrary products and closed subgroups and…

We generate by computer a basis of invariants for the fundamental representations of the exceptional Lie groups E(6) and E(7), up to degree 18. We discuss the relevance of this calculation for the study of supersymmetric gauge theories, and…

For a finite group $G$, let $\sigma(G)$ be the number of subgroups of $G$ and $\sigma_\iota(G)$ the number of isomorphism types of subgroups of $G$. Let $L=L_r(p^e)$ denote a simple group of Lie type, rank $r$, over a field of order $p^e$…

We study the classifying space of a twisted loop group $L_{\sigma}G$ where $G$ is a compact Lie group and $\sigma$ is an automorphism of $G$ of finite order modulo inner automorphisms. Equivalently, we study the $\sigma$-twisted adjoint…

We prove a 2-categorical analogue of a classical result of Drinfeld: there is a one-to-one correspondence between connected, simply-connected Poisson Lie 2-groups and Lie 2-bialgebras. In fact, we also prove that there is a one-to-one…

This is a short presentation of some classical results on finite dimensional complex Lie algebras (classification of nilpotent Lie algebras, deformations and perturbations, contractions and rigidity). We present some applications to…

About 20 years ago, J-P.~Serre announced a bound on the trace of elements of compact Lie groups under the adjoint representation together with related results, provided indications of his proofs, and invited a better proof. This note…

The Cartan scheme $\cal X$ of a finite group $G$ with a $(B,N)$-pair is defined to be the coherent configuration associated with the action of $G$ on the right cosets of the Cartan subgroup $B\cap N$ by the right multiplications. It is…

In this article we endow the group of bisections of a Lie groupoid with compact base with a natural locally convex Lie group structure. Moreover, we develop thoroughly the connection to the algebra of sections of the associated Lie…
