We prove that a family of at least two non-trivial, almost-connected locally compact groups cannot have a coproduct in the category of locally compact groups if at least one of the groups is connected; this confirms the intuition that…

We consider twisted conjugacy classes of continuous automorphisms $\varphi$ of a Lie group $G$. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition on $\varphi$ for its Reidemeister number, the number of twisted conjugacy classes, to be infinite…

A p-compact group, as defined by Dwyer and Wilkerson, is a purely homotopically defined p-local analog of a compact Lie group. It has long been the hope, and later the conjecture, that these objects should have a classification similar to…

Let G be a reductive connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let g be its Lie algebra. First we extend a well-known result about the Picard group of a semisimple group to reductive…

Let $G$ be a real reductive Lie group, $L$ a compact subgroup, and $\pi$ an irreducible admissible representation of $G$. In this article we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the finiteness of the multiplicities of $L$-types…

Greenlees has conjectured that the rational stable equivariant homotopy category of a compact Lie group always has an algebraic model. Based on this idea, we show that the category of rational local systems on a connected finite loop space…

Given a discrete quantum group A we construct a certain Hopf *-algebra AP which is a unital *-subalgebra of the multiplier algebra of A. The structure maps for AP are inherited from M(A) and thus the construction yields a compactification…

We obtain a characterization of totally disconnected, locally compact groups $G$ with the following property: given a locally normal subgroup $K$ of $G$, then there is an open subgroup of $K$ that is a direct factor of an open subgroup of…

We study Property (T) for locally compact quantum groups, providing several new characterisations, especially related to operator algebraic ergodic theory. Quantum Property (T) is described in terms of the existence of various Kazhdan type…

For a finite group G of Lie type and a prime p, we compare the automorphism groups of the fusion and linking systems of G at p with the automorphism group of G itself. When p is the defining characteristic of G, they are all isomorphic,…

We study analogues of Cartan decompositions of Lie groups for totally disconnected locally compact groups. It is shown using these decompositions that a large class of totally disconnected locally compact groups acting on trees and…

We completely characterize connected Lie groups all of whose countable subgroups are weakly amenable. We also provide a characterization of connected semisimple Lie groups that are weakly amenable. Finally, we show that a connected Lie…

We prove that a group acting geometrically on a thick affine building has property (T). A more general criterion for property (T) is given for groups acting on partite complexes.

This survey purports to be an elementary introduction to compactly presented groups, which are the analogue of finitely presented groups in the broader realm of locally compact groups. In particular, compact presentation is interpreted as a…

Let $\mathcal M$ be a compact complex supermanifold. We prove that the set $\mathrm{Aut}_{\bar 0}(\mathcal M)$ of automorphisms of $\mathcal M$ can be endowed with the structure of a complex Lie group acting holomorphically on $\mathcal M$,…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group acting on a stable complex manifold $M$ with equivariant vector bundle $E$. Besides, suppose $\phi$ is an equivariant map from $M$ to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We can define some equivalence…

A pro-Lie group is a projective limit of a family of finite-dimensional Lie groups. In this note we show that a pro-Lie group $G$ is a Lie group in the sense that its topology is compatible with a smooth manifold structure for which the…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group, $\mathrm{Sub}(G)$ the (compact, metric) space of all subgroups of $G$ with the Chaubuty topology and $X!$ the (Polish) group of all permutations of a countable set $X$. We show that the following…

We prove that the universal lattices -- the groups $G=\SL_d(R)$ where $R=\Z[x_1,...,x_k]$, have property $\tau$ for $d\geq 3$. This provides the first example of linear groups with $\tau$ which do not come from arithmetic groups. We also…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \ge 0$. A closed subgroup $H$ of $G$ is called $G$-completely reducible ($G$-cr) if whenever $H$ is contained in a parabolic…
