We call a unital locally convex algebra $A$ a continuous inverse algebra if its unit group $A^\times$ is open and inversion is a continuous map. For any smooth action of a, possibly infinite-dimensional, connected Lie group $G$ on a…

This work generalizes the results of an earlier paper by the second author, from Randers metrics to $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics. Let $F$ be an $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric which is defined by a left invariant vector field and a left invariant…

A Riemann-Poisson Lie group is a Lie group endowed with a left invariant Riemannian metric and a left invariant Poisson tensor which are compatible in the sense introduced in C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris s\'er. {\bf I 333} (2001) 763-768. We study…

We study a new bi-Lipschitz invariant \lambda(M) of a metric space M; its finiteness means that Lipschitz functions on an arbitrary subset of M can be linearly extended to functions on M whose Lipschitz constants are enlarged by a factor…

This paper deals with affine connections on real manifolds. We give a new characterization of flat affine connections on real manifolds by means of certain affine representations of the Lie group of automorphisms preserving the connection.…

We study left invariant contact forms and left invariant symplectic forms on Lie groups. We give the classification of all symplectic structures on nilpotent Lie algebras up the dimension 6.

We use differential forms on loop spaces to prove that the fundamental group of certain geometric transformation groups is infinite. Examples include both finite and infinite dimensional Lie groups. The finite dimensional examples are the…

Using adjoint representation of Lie algebras, we calculate the automorphism group and ad-invariant metric on six dimensional solvable real Lie algebras with 5, 4 and 3 dimensional nilradicals.

For each left-invariant semi-Riemannian metric $g$ on a Lie group $G$, we introduce the class of bi-Lipschitz Riemannian Clairaut metrics, whose completeness implies the completeness of $g$. When the adjoint representation of $G$ satisfies…

We discuss possible notions of conformal Lie algebras, paying particular attention to graded conformal Lie algebras with $d$-dimensional space isotropy: namely, those with a $\mathfrak{co}(d)$ subalgebra acting in a prescribed way on the…

Data sets sampled in Lie groups are widespread, and as with multivariate data, it is important for many applications to assess the differences between the sets in terms of their distributions. Indices for this task are usually derived by…

The subject of this paper is six-dimensional nearly (para-)K\"ahler geometry with pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Firstly, we derive the analogue of the well-known exterior differential system characterising a nearly K\"ahler manifold and prove…

The main aim of this paper is the description of a large class of lattices in some nilpotent Lie groups, sometimes filiformes, carrying a flat left invariant linear connection anf often a left invariant symplectic form. As a consequence we…

In this paper the classification of left-invariant Riemannian metrics, up to the action of the automorphism group, on cotangent bundle of (2n+1)-dimensional Heisenberg group is presented. Also, it is proved that the complex structure on…

We give conditions on a diffeological group $G$ and a normal subgroup $H$ under which the quotient group $G/H$ differentiates to a Lie algebra for which $\operatorname{Lie}(G/H) \cong \operatorname{Lie}(G)/\operatorname{Lie}(H)$. Our Lie…

We introduce two constructions to obtain left-invariant Ricci-flat pseudo-Riemannian metrics on nilpotent Lie groups, one based on gradings, the other on filtrations, both depending on the combinatorics of the set of weights. As an…

We introduce the concept of a double automorphism of an A-graded Lie algebra L. Roughly, this is an automorphism of L which also induces an automorphism of the group A. It is clear that the set of all double automorphisms of L forms a…

We provide a new angle and obtain new results on a class of metrics on length-normalized curves in $d$ dimensions, represented by their unit tangents expressed as a function of arc-length, which are functions from the unit interval to the…

We prove that if the multiplication group $Mult(L)$ of a connected $2$-dimensional topological loop is a Lie group, then $Mult(L)$ is an elementary filiform nilpotent Lie group of dimension at least $4$. Moreover, we describe loops having…

We prove for the automorphism group of an arbitrary parabolic geometry that the $C^0$ and $C^{\infty}$ topologies coincide, and the group admits the structure of a Lie group in this topology. We further show that this automorphism group is…
