The discrete cocompact subgroups of the five-dimensional connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie groups are determined up to isomorphism. Moreover, we prove if $G=N\times A$ is a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie group with an…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and $k[[z]]$ the ring of formal power series over $k$. We provide several characterizations of right amenable finitely generated subsemigroups of $z^2k[[z]]$ with the…

A subspace Y of a separable metrizable space X is separable, but without X metrizable this is not true even If Y is a closed linear subspace of a topological vector space X. K.H. Hofmann and S.A. Morris introduced the class of pro-Lie…

We first give simplified and corrected accounts of some results in \cite{PiRCP} on compactifications of pseudofinite groups. For instance, we use a classical theorem of Turing \cite{Turing} to give a simplified proof that any definable…

We determine the structure of solvable Lie groups endowed with invariant stretched non-positive Weyl connections and find classes of solvable Lie groups admitting and not admitting such connections. In dimension 4 we fully classify solvable…

In this (partly expository) paper we show, using ideas from the theory of total positivity, how a number of properties of a semisimple group over the complex numbers can be presented purely in terms of the Weyl group. We also describe some…

We introduce the weak Haagerup property for locally compact groups and prove several hereditary results for the class of groups with this approximation property. The class contains a priori all weakly amenable groups and groups with the…

We survey different tools to classify representations of compact Lie groups according to their cohomogeneity and apply these methods to the case of irreducible representations of cohomogeneity 6, 7 and 8.

For a locally compact Abelian group $G$ and a continuous weight function $\omega$ on $G$ we show that the Beurling algebra $L^1(G, \omega)$ is weakly amenable if and only if there is no nontrivial continuous group homomorphism $\phi$: $G\to…

We let the central Fourier algebra, ZA(G), be the subalgebra of functions u in the Fourier algebra A(G) of a compact group, for which u(xyx^{-1})=u(y) for all x,y in G. We show that this algebra admits bounded point derivations whenever G…

In this short note we introduce a notion called "quantum injectivity" of locally compact quantum groups, and prove that it is equivalent to amenability of the dual. Particularly, this provides a new characterization of amenability of…

We describe certain sufficient conditions for an infinitely divisible probability measure on a class of connected Lie groups to be embeddable in a continuous one-parameter convolution semigroup of probability measures. (Theorem 1.3). This…

A subalgebra B of a Lie algebra L is called a weak c-ideal of L if there is a subideal C of L such that L = B+C and B\cap C \subseteq B_L where B_L is the largest ideal of L contained in B. This is analogous to the concept of weakly c-…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of a discrete (countable) group $\Gamma$. We introduce a notion of relative inner amenability of $G$ in $\Gamma$, we prove some equivalent conditions and provide examples as well as counter-examples. We also discuss…

Methods of Lie group analysis of differential equations are extended to weak solutions of (linear and nonlinear) PDEs, where the term ``weak solution'' comprises the following settings: (a) Distributional solutions. (b) Solutions in…

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…

We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also…

In this paper, we introduce the weakly nilpotent hypergroups with giving some new properties, and then establish several structural characterizations of these hypergroups. Some results obtained in this paper answer the two questions raised…

We give the first examples of (non-amenable group) amenable actions on stably finite simple C*-algebras. More precisely, we give such actions for any countable group in an explicit way. The main ingredients of our construction are the full…

We give a homological characterisation of relatively prosolvable projective groups.
