In this paper, we present a study on the prolongations of representations of Lie algebras. We show that a tangent bundle of a given Lie algebra attains a Lie algebra structure. Then, we prove that this tangent bundle is algebraically…
The infinitesimal counterpart of a Lie groupoid is its Lie algebroid. As a vector bundle, it is given by the source vertical tangent bundle restricted to the identity bisection. Its sections can be identified with the invariant vector…
We study the skew-symmetric prolongation of a Lie subalgebra $\g \subseteq \mathfrak{so}(n)$, in other words the intersection $\Lambda^3 \cap (\Lambda^1 \otimes \g)$.We compute this space in full generality. Applications include uniqueness…
We study the extension of a Lie algebroid by a representation up to homotopy, including semidirect products of a Lie algebroid with such representations. The extension results in a higher Lie algebroid. We give exact Courant algebroids and…
We study VB-groupoids and VB-algebroids, which are vector bundles in the realm of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids. Through a suitable reformulation of their definitions, we elucidate the Lie theory relating these objects, i.e., their…
We give a new proof of the equivalence between the existence of a complete action of a Lie algebroid on a surjective submersion and its integrability. The main tools in our approach are double Lie groupoids and multiplicative foliations,…
We describe the reduction procedure for a symplectic Lie algebroid by a Lie subalgebroid and a symmetry Lie group. Moreover, given an invariant Hamiltonian function we obtain the corresponding reduced Hamiltonian dynamics. Several examples…
In this note we survey results in recent research papers on the use of Lie groups in the study of partial differential equations. The focus will be on parabolic equations, and we will show how the problems at hand have solutions that seem…
We show that any proper Lie groupoid admits a compatible (real) analytic structure.
Cohen and Taylor introduced Plesken Lie algebras of finite groups and studied their structural properties. As a further step, we will introduce Plesken Lie algebra representations, Plesken Lie algebra modules and discuss the irreducibility…
In this paper we define a new algebraic object: the disguised-groups. We show the main properties of the disguised-groups and, as a consequence, we will see that disguised-groups coincide with regular semigroups. We prove many of the…
The $L_\infty$-algebra is an algebraic structure suitable for describing deformation problems. In this paper we construct one $L_\infty$-algebra, which turns out to be a differential graded Lie algebra, to control the deformations of Lie…
We introduce Lie-Nijenhuis bialgebroids as Lie bialgebroids endowed with an additional derivation-like object. They give a complete infinitesimal description of Poisson-Nijenhuis groupoids, and key examples include Poisson-Nijenhuis…
In this paper we investigate the problem of which Lie algebras appear as the derived algebra of a Lie algebra. We present new results that further develop this study and address two questions raised in a paper concerned with the…
We introduce and study a class of Lie algebroids associated to faithful modules which is motivated by the notion of cotangent Lie algebroids of Poisson manifolds. We also give a classification of transitive Lie algebroids and describe…
We generalise the construction of the Lie algebroid of a Lie groupoid so that it can be carried out in any tangent category. First we reconstruct the bijection between left invariant vector fields and source constant tangent vectors based…
We propose a geometric integrator to numerically approximate the flow of Lie systems. The key is a novel procedure that integrates the Lie system on a Lie group intrinsically associated with a Lie system on a general manifold via a Lie…
We describe arbitrary multiplicative differential forms on Lie groupoids infinitesimally, i.e., in terms of Lie algebroid data. This description is based on the study of linear differential forms on Lie algebroids and encompasses many known…
We present an application of Hodge theory towards the study of irreducible unitary representations of reductive Lie groups. We describe a conjecture about such representations and discuss some progress towards its proof.
The concept of weak Lie motion (weak Lie symmetry) is introduced through ${\cal{L}}_{\xi}{\cal{L}}_{\xi}g_{ab}=0,$ (${\cal{L}}_{\xi}{\cal{L}}_{\xi}f=0$). Applications are given which exhibit a reduction of the usual symmetry, e.g., in the…
