We determine the equivariant real structures on nilpotent orbits and the normalizations of their closures for the adjoint action of a complex semisimple algebraic group on its Lie algebra.

We present a rigorous framework for determining equilibrium configurations of uniformly rotating self-gravitating fluid bodies. This work addresses the longstanding challenge of modeling rotational deformation in celestial objects such as…

The problem in question is whether the quotient space of a compact linear group is a topological manifold and whether it is a homological manifold. In the paper, the case of an infinite group with commutative connected component is…

We study the question of whether the topological quotient of a real linear representation of a simple three-dimensional compact Lie group is a manifold. We obtain an upper bound for the dimension of a representation whose quotient is a…

If G is a (connected) complex Lie Group and Z is a generalized flag manifold for G, the the open orbits D of a (connected) real form G_0 of G form an interesting class of complex homogeneous spaces, which play an important role in the…

An isometric action of a Lie group on a Riemannian manifold is of cohomogeneity one if the corresponding orbit space is one-dimensional. In this article we develop a conceptual approach to the classification of cohomogeneity one actions on…

Consider a smooth manifold and an action on it of a compact connected Lie group with a bi-invariant metric. Then, any orbit is an embedded submanifold that is isometric to a normal homogeneous space for the group. In this paper, we…

In this work we show that there is a Riemannian groupoid whose orbits are the closures of the leaves of a regular Riemannian foliation on a compact manifold. This groupoid is equivalent (in a generalized sense of Haefliger) with a…

Given a Hamiltonian action of a proper symplectic groupoid (for instance, a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group), we show that the transverse momentum map admits a natural constant rank stratification. To this end, we construct a…

We partially describe equivariant Dirac and generalized complex structures on a homogeneous space $G/K$ by giving equivalent data involving only the Lie algebra. We consider real semisimple adjoint orbits in any semisimple Lie algebra over…

The purpose of this paper is to apply deformation quantization to the study of the coadjoint orbit method in the case of real reductive groups. We first prove some general results on the existence of equivariant deformation quantization of…

The smooth action of a compact Lie group on a compact manifold can be resolved to an iterated space, as made explicit by Pierre Albin and the second author. On the resolution the lifted action has fixed isotropy type, in an iterated sense,…

We present two versions of the Egorov theorem for orbifolds. The first one is a straightforward extension of the classical theorem for smooth manifolds. The second one considers an orbifold as a singular manifold, the orbit space of a Lie…

We provide a general theoretical framework allowing us to extend the classical Lie theory for partial differential equations to the case of equations of fractional order. We propose a general prolongation formula for the study of Lie…

We study deformations of Lie groupoids by means of the cohomology which controls them. This cohomology turns out to provide an intrinsic model for the cohomology of a Lie groupoid with values in its adjoint representation. We prove several…

We revisit the linearization theorems for proper Lie groupoids around general orbits (statements and proofs). In the the fixed point case (known as Zung's theorem) we give a shorter and more geometric proof, based on a Moser deformation…

Mishchenko-Oliveira proved the piecewise smooth cohomology and Lie algebroid cohomology of a Lie algebroid on a combinatorial compact manifold are isomorphic. In this paper, we describe an application of that result locally trivial Lie…

In the standard orbit model on shape analysis, a group of diffeomorphism on the ambient space equipped with a right invariant sub-riemannian metric acts on a space of shapes and induces a sub-riemannian structure on various spaces. An…

We consider the class of profinite diffeological spaces, that is, diffeological spaces which diffeologies are deduced by pull-back of diffeologies on finite-dimensional manifolds through a system of projection mappings. This class includes…
