Let L be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>3. We prove in this paper that if all tori of maximal dimansion in the semisimple p-envelope of L are standard, the L is up to…
We study some applications of solvable Lie algebras in type IIA, type IIB and M theories. RR and NS generators find a natural geometric interpretation in this framework. Special emphasis is given to the counting of the abelian nilpotent…
The classification of the holonomy algebras of Lorentzian manifolds can be reduced to the classification of irreducible subalgebras $\mathfrak{h}\subset\mathfrak{so}(n)$ that are spanned by the images of linear maps from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to…
We study homogeneous metric spaces, by which we mean connected, locally compact metric spaces whose isometry group acts transitively. After a review of some classical results, we use the Gleason-Iwasawa-Montgomery-Yamabe-Zippin structure…
We prove that the isometric embedding of any metric of differentiability class C1 in E3 exists. We use simplified notation for the given metric, namely geodesic parameters, and level parameters for the embedded surface in E3. Central to our…
We describe the differential graded Lie algebras governing Poisson deformations of a holomorphic Poisson manifold and coisotropic embedded deformations of a coisotropic holomorphic submanifold. In both cases, under some mild additional…
In this paper, we consider local holomorphic mappings f: M\to M' between real algebraic CR generic manifolds (or more generally, real algebraic sets with singularities) in the complex euclidean spaces of different dimensions and we search…
Let i be a homomorphism of the multiplicative group into a connected reductive algebraic group over C. Let G^i be the centralizer of the image i. Let LG be the Lie algebra of G and let L_nG (n integer) be the summands in the direct sum…
Pseudo $H$-type Lie algebras are a special class of 2-step nilpotent metric Lie algebras, intimately related to Clifford algebras $\Cl_{r,s}$. In this work we propose the classification method for integral orthonormal structures of pseudo…
It is known that a connected and simply-connected Lie group admits only one left-invariant Riemannian metric up to scaling and isometry if and only if it is isomorphic to the Euclidean space, the Lie group of the real hyperbolic space, or…
In this paper I consider locally finite Lie algebras of characteristic zero satisfying the condition that for every finite number of elements $x_{1}, x_{2},..., x_{k}$ of such an algebra $L$ there is finite-dimensional subalgebra $A$ which…
We study Walker manifolds, that is, pseudo-Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ admitting a null parallel distribution $\D$ of rank $r\leq\frac{n}{2}$. We show that $\D$ always integrates to a $G$-Lie foliation $\F_\D$, where $G$ is the simply…
We study the structure of a metric $n$-Lie algebra $\mathcal {G}$ over the complex field $\mathbb C$. Let $\mathcal {G}= \mathcal S\oplus {\mathcal R}$ be the Levi decomposition, where $\mathcal R$ is the radical of $\mathcal {G}$ and…
Inspired by the role geometric structures play in our understanding of surfaces and three-manifolds, and Berger's observation that a surface of constant sectional curvature is determined up to local isometry by its Laplace spectrum, we…
This paper concerns the problem of classifying finite-dimensional real solvable Lie algebras whose derived algebras are of codimension 1 or 2. On the one hand, we present an effective method to classify all $(n+1)$-dimensional real solvable…
The essential feature of a root-graded Lie algebra L is the existence of a split semisimple subalgebra g with respect to which L is an integrable module with weights in a possibly non-reduced root system S of the same rank as the root…
This paper develops the deformation theory of Lie ideals. It shows that the smooth deformations of an ideal $\mathfrak i$ in a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ differentiate to cohomology classes in the cohomology of $\mathfrak g$ with values in…
The holonomy algebra $\g$ of an indecomposable Lorentzian (n+2)-dimensional manifold $M$ is a weakly-irreducible subalgebra of the Lorentzian algebra $\so_{1,n+1}$. L. Berard Bergery and A. Ikemakhen divided weakly-irreducible not…
A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie…
A Lie algebra is said to be metric if it admits a symmetric invariant and nondegenerate bilinear form. The harmonic oscillator algebra, which arises in the quantum mechanical description of a harmonic oscillator, is the smallest solvable…
