We consider the problem of constructing semisimple subalgebras of real (semi-) simple Lie algebras. We develop computational methods that help to deal with this problem. Our methods boil down to solving a set of polynomial equations. In…

This work was inspired by two natural questions. The first question is when Lie(G')=Lie(G)', where G is a connected algebraic supergroup defined over a field of characteristic zero. The second question is whether the unipotent radical of…

For a semisimple Lie group $G$, we study Discrete Series representations with admissible branching to a symmetric subgroup $H$. This is done using a canonical associated symmetric subgroup $H_0$, forming a pseudo-dual pair with $H$, and a…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $\neq 2$. Let $G$ be an algebraic group defined over $F$. An element $t\in G(F)$ is called {\bf real} if there exists $s\in G(F)$ such that $sts^{-1}=t^{-1}$. A semisimple element $t$ in $GL_n(F),…

In this paper we give the classification of standard compact Clifford-Klein forms corresponding to triples (g,h,l) such that g = h+l and g is a sum of two absolutely simple ideals. The classification is done using Onishchik's results…

Let $\g$ be a locally reductive complex Lie algebra which admits a faithful countable-dimensional finitary representation $V$. Such a Lie algebra is a split extension of an abelian Lie algebra by a direct sum of copies of $\sl_\infty$,…

We present two novel proofs of the known classification of connected affine algebraic supergroups $G$ such that $\operatorname{Rep}G$ is semisimple. The proofs are geometrically motivated, although both rely on an algebraic lemma that…
