We construct the full and reduced C*-algebras of an ample groupoid from its complex Steinberg algebra. We also show that our construction gives the same C*-algebras as the standard constructions. In the last section, we consider an…
In this survey paper, we give a complete list of known results on the first and the second homology groups of surface mapping class groups. Some known results on higher (co)homology are also mentioned.
Given a cluster-tilted algebra B we study its first Hochschild cohomology group HH^1(B) with coefficients in the B-B-bimodule B. We find several consequences when B is representation-finite, and also in the case where B is cluster-tilted of…
Given a cluster-tilted algebra B we study its first Hochschild cohomology group HH1(B) with coefficients in the B-B-bimodule B. If C is a tilted algebra such that B is the relation extension of C by E= Ext2(DC,C), then we prove that HH1(B)…
It is shown that parts of planes, helicoids and hyperbolic paraboloids are the only minimal surfaces ruled by geodesics in the three dimensional Riemannian Heisenberg group. It is also shown that they are the only surfaces in the three…
We describe the C*-algebras of the Heisenberg group H_n, n\geq 1, and the thread-like Lie group G_N, N\geq 3, in terms of C*-algebras of operator fields.
The geometry of the Heisenberg group acting on the plane arises naturally in geometric topology as a degeneration of the familiar spaces $\mathbb{S}^2,\mathbb{H}^2$ and $\mathbb{E}^2$ via conjugacy limit as defined by Cooper, Danciger, and…
We show that the Heisenberg Lie algebras over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $p>0$ admit a family of restricted Lie algebras, and we classify all such non-isomorphic restricted Lie algebra structures. We use the ordinary 1- and…
Timelike surfaces in the three-dimensional Heisenberg group with left invariant semi-Riemannian metric are studied. In particular, non-vertical timelike minimal surfaces are characterized by the non-conformal Lorentz harmonic maps into the…
Let $G$ be a finite simple group and $k$ be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic dividing the order of $G$. We show that for all $2$-cocycles $\alpha \in Z^2(G;k^\times)$, the first Hochschild cohomology group of the…
In this short research note we obtain a reduction theorem for the non-vanishing of the first Hochschild cohomology of block algebras of finite groups with non-trivial defect groups. Along the way we investigate this problem for the blocks…
We consider submanifolds of sub-Riemannian Carnot groups with intrinsic $C^1$ regularity ($C^1_H$). Our first main result is an area formula for $C^1_H$ intrinsic graphs; as an application, we deduce density properties for Hausdorff…
We study minimal surfaces in generic sub-Riemannian manifolds with sub-Riemannian structures of co-rank one. These surfaces can be defined as the critical points of the so-called {\it horizontal} area functional associated to the canonical…
It is known that an abelian group $A$ and a $2$-cocycle $c:A \times A \to C$ yield a group ${\mathscr{H}}(A,C,c)$ which we call a Heisenberg group. This group, a central extension of $A$, is the archetype of a class~$2$ nilpotent group. In…
Given a finite subgroup G of SL(2,C) we define an additive 2-category H^G whose Grothendieck group is isomorphic to an integral form of the Heisenberg algebra. We construct an action of H^G on derived categories of coherent sheaves on…
We discuss the notion of submanifolds with boundary with intrinsic $C^1$ regularity in sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups and we provide some examples. Eventually, we present a Stokes' Theorem for such submanifolds involving the integration…
In this note, we consider models in $\mathbb C^2$. The purpose of this note is twofold. We first show a characterization of models in $\mathbb C^2$ by their noncompact automorphism groups. Then we give an explicit description for…
A Hausdorff topological group is called minimal if it does not admit a strictly coarser Hausdorff group topology. This paper mostly deals with the topological group $H_+(X)$ of order-preserving homeomorphisms of a compact linearly ordered…
We prove a strong rigidity property of the Heisenberg groups, that is, they can be distinguished from any other 1-connected Lie groups via their unitary dual spaces, in particular via the Morita equivalence class of their group…
In this paper, we give a construction of a (C*-algebraic) quantum Heisenberg group. This is done by viewing it as the dual quantum group of the specific non-compact quantum group (A,\Delta) constructed earlier by the author. Our definition…
