We show that induced representations for a pair of $\textit{diffeological Lie groups}$ exist, in the form of an indexed colimit in the category of diffeological spaces.

We present a geometric construction of central S^1-extensions of the quantomorphism group of a prequantizable, compact, symplectic manifold, and explicitly describe the corresponding lattice of integrable cocycles on the Poisson Lie…

A connection between the Galois-theoretic approach to semi-abelian homology and the homological closure operators is established. In particular, a generalised Hopf formula for homology is obtained, allowing the choice of a new kind of…

In this paper we study the uniform perfectness, boundedness and uniform simplicity of diffeomorphism groups of compact manifolds with boundary and open manifolds and obtain some upper bounds of their diameters with respect to commutator…

We exhibit many examples of closed complex surfaces whose diffeomorphism groups are not simply-connected and contain loops that are not homotopic to loops of symplectomorphisms.

With a view towards applications in the theory of infinite-dimensional representations of finite-dimensional Lie supergroups, we introduce a new category of supermanifolds. In this category, supermanifolds of `maps' and `fields' (fibre…

We prove a global topological rigidity theorem for locally $C^2$-non-discrete subgroups of the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms of the circle.

Let $G$ be a solvable subgroup of the group $\diff{}{n}$ of local complex analytic diffeomorphisms. Analogously as for groups of matrices we bound the solvable length of $G$ by a function of $n$. Moreover we provide the best possible bounds…

We introduce a notion of a length function exponentially distorted on a (compactly generated) subgroup of a locally compact group. We prove that for a connected linear complex Lie group there is a maximum equivalence class of length…

We show that a finitely generated group of analytic diffeomorphisms that is expanding and locally discrete in the analytic category is analytically conjugate to a uniform lattice of a finite covering of the group of projective maps of the…

In this paper, we construct a representation of loop group and derive the formula of the corresponding representation of the affine Kac-Moody algebra with level 1. And we also provide a concrete realization of Whittaker functionals in the…

Let $M$ and $N$ be smooth manifolds, with $M$ closed and connected. If the $C^r$--diffeomorphism group of $M$ is elementarily equivalent to the $C^s$--diffeomorphism group of $N$ for some $r,s\in[1,\infty)\cup\{0,\infty\}$, then $r=s$ and…

The approaches to quantum field theories based in the so called loop representation deserved much attention recently. In it, closed curves and holonomies around them play a central role. In this framework the group of loops and the group of…

In a previous paper the author constructed biinvariant measures (possibly having values in a line bundle) for a loop group LK (with compact simply connected K) acting on the formal completion of its complexification LG. One motivation for…

Following the recent advances in the study of groups of circle diffeomorphisms, we describe an efficient way of classifying the topological dynamics of locally discrete, finitely generated, virtually free subgroups of the group…

We consider the semidirect product of diffeomorphisms of the circle $D={Diff}_+(S^1)$ and $C^{\infty}(S^{1}, {\bf R})$ functions, classify its coadjoint orbits and prove the integrability of hamiltonian (Generalized Dispersive Water Waves…

We study the inverse problem in the difference Galois theory of linear differential equations over the difference-differential field $\mathbb{C}(x)$ with derivation $\frac{d}{dx}$ and endomorphism $f(x)\mapsto f(x+1)$. Our main result is…

Hilbert--Lie groups are Lie groups whose Lie algebra is a real Hilbert space whose scalar product is invariant under the adjoint action. These infinite-dimensional Lie groups are the closest relatives to compact Lie groups. Here we study…

By utilizing the idea of Colombeau's generalized function, we introduce a notion of asymptotic map between arbitrary diffeological spaces. The category consisting of diffeological spaces and asymptotic maps is enriched over the category of…

The traditional approach of defining the fundamental group first and then constructing universal coverings works well only for the class of Poincar\' e spaces. For general spaces there were several attempts to define generalized coverings…
