We prove weighted $L^p$-Liouville theorems for a class of second order hypoelliptic partial differential operators $\mathcal{L}$ on Lie groups $\mathbb{G}$ whose underlying manifold is $n$-dimensional space. We show that a natural weight is…

Let $B$ be Banach algebra and $M$ be topological space. If there exists homeomorphism \[ f:M\rightarrow N \] of topological space $M$ into convex set $N$ of the space $B^n$, then homeomorphism $f$ is called chart of the set $M$. The set $M$…

Let $M$ and $N$ be two closed $C^{\infty}$ manifolds and let $\text{Diff}_c(M)$ denote the group of $C^{\infty}$ diffeomorphisms isotopic to the identity. We prove that any (discrete) group homomorphism between $\text{Diff}_c(M)$ and…

We give a definition of differentiable cohomology of a Lie group G (possibly infinite-dimensional) with coefficients in any abelian Lie group. This differentiable cohomology maps both to the cohomology of the group made discrete and to Lie…

Using probabilistic methods, we prove new rigidity results for groups and pseudo-groups of diffeomorphisms of one dimensional manifolds with intermediate regularity class ({\em i.e.} between $C^1$ and $C^2$). In particular, we demonstrate…

We consider the Lie group of smooth diffeomorphisms Diff$(M)$ of a simple polytope $M$ in the euclidean space. Simple polytopes are special cases of manifolds with corners. The geometric setting allows to study in particular, the subgroup…

Let $V$ be a real finite dimensional representation of a compact Lie group $G$. It is well-known that the algebra $\mathbb R[V]^G$ of $G$-invariant polynomials on $V$ is finitely generated, say by $\sigma_1,...,\sigma_p$. Schwarz proved…
