In this paper we obtain the Wedderburn-Artin decomposition of a semisimple group algebra associated to a direct product of finite groups. We also provide formulae for the number of all possible group codes, and their dimensions, that can be…
We show Lie algebra versions of some results on homological finiteness properties of subdirect products of groups, including a version of the 1-2-3 Theorem.
We survey recent work on the geometry and dynamics of transverse subgroups of semi-simple Lie groups.
The goal of this paper is to provide a method, based on the theory of extensions of left-symmetric algebras, for classifying left-invariant affine structures on a given solvable Lie group of low dimension. To better illustrate our method,…
We give sufficient conditions for a linear differential equation to have a given semisimple group as its Galois group. For any linear algebraic group G given as a semidirect product of a finite subgroup and a normal subgroup that is a…
We develop a theory of twisted actions of categorical groups using a notion of semidirect product of categories. We work through numerous examples to demonstrate the power of these notions. Turning to representations, which are actions that…
We study the general geometrical structure of the coadjoint orbits of a semidirect product formed by a Lie group and a representation of this group on a vector space. The use of symplectic induction methods gives new insight into the…
We determine the structure of the semisimple group algebra of certain groups over the rationals and over those finite fields where the Wedderburn decompositions have the least number of simple components. We apply our work to obtain similar…
Torsors under affine groups are generalized in the super context by super-torsors under affine super-groups. We investigate those super-torsors by using Hopf-algebra language and techniques. It is explicitly shown, under suitable…
A study is made of real Lie algebras admitting compatible complex and product structures, including numerous 4-dimensional examples. If g is a Lie algebra with such a structure then its complexification has a hypercomplex structure. It is…
Let R be a class of groups closed under taking semidirect products with finite kernel and fully residually R-groups. We prove that R contains all R-by-{finitely generated residually finite} groups. It follows that a semidirect product of a…
We study integrable systems on the semidirect product of a Lie group and its Lie algebra as the representation space of the adjoint action. Regarding the tangent bundle of a Lie group as phase space endowed with this semidirect product Lie…
Let $k$ be a field. We characterize the group schemes $G$ over $k$, not necessarily affine, such that $\mathsf{D}_{\mathrm{qc}}(B_kG)$ is compactly generated. We also describe the algebraic stacks that have finite cohomological dimension in…
The asymptotic study of the conjugacy classes of a random element of the finite affine group leads one to define a probability measure on the set of all partitions of all positive integers. Four different probabilistic understandings of…
Derivations of twisted loop algebras of minimal Q-graded subalgebras of semisimple Lie algebras are investigated, and a decomposition formula of the derivation algebra is obtained. Homogenous almost inner derivations of twisted loop…
It is an old conjecture, that finite $H$-spaces are homotopy equivalent to manifolds. Here we prove that this conjecture is true for loop spaces. Actually, we show that every quasi finite loop space is equivalent to a stably parallelizable…
Smooth manifolds have been always understood intuitively as spaces with an affine geometry on the infinitesimal scale. In Synthetic Differential Geometry this can be made precise by showing that a smooth manifold carries a natural structure…
We show a geometric rigidity of isometric actions of non compact (semisimple) Lie groups on Lorentz manifolds. Namely, we show that the manifold has a warped product structure of a Lorentz manifold with constant curvature by a Riemannian…
The set of formal power series with coefficients in an associative but noncommutative algebra becomes a loop with the substitution product. We initiate the study of this loop by describing certain Lie and Sabinin algebras related to it.…
Automorphisms of finite order and real forms of "smooth" affine Kac-Moody algebras are studied, i.e. of 2-dimensional extensions of the algebra of smooth loops in a simple Lie algebra. It is shown that they can be parametrized by certain…
