In this paper, we characterize the dynamic of every abelian subgroups $\mathcal{G}$ of GL($n$, $\mathbb{K}$), $\mathbb{K} = \mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. We show that there exists a $\mathcal{G}$-invariant, dense open set $U$ in…

An orbit polytope is the convex hull of an orbit under a finite group $G \leq \operatorname{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. We develop a general theory of possible affine symmetry groups of orbit polytopes. For every group, we define an open and dense…

Finite determinacy for mappings has been classically thoroughly studied in numerous scenarios in the real- and complex-analytic category and in the differentiable case. It means that the map-germ is determined, up to a given equivalence…

We study the action of a real reductive group $G$ on a Kahler manifold $Z$ which is the restriction of a holomorphic action of a complex reductive Lie group $U^\mathbb{C}.$ We assume that the action of $U$, a maximal compact connected…

Given a natural number m and a Lie algebra g, the m th generalized Takiff Lie algebra of g is the Lie algebra gm\,:= g $\otimes$ C[T ]/T m+1 . For n $\ge$ m, we define the (m, n)-modality of an adjoint orbit $\Omega$m in gm to be the…

Let $M$ be a $G$-covering of a nilpotent orbit in $\g$ where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group and $\g=\text{Lie}(G)$. We prove that under Poisson bracket the space $R[2]$ of homogeneous functions on $M$ of degree 2 is the unique…

Riemannian geodesic orbit spaces (G/H,g) are natural generalizations of symmetric spaces, defined by the property that their geodesics are orbits of one-parameter subgroups of G. We study the geodesic orbit spaces of the form (G/S,g), where…
