Every countable topological group $G$ has a closed discrete subset $A$ such that $G=AA^{-1}.$

We introduce a new class of locally compact groups, namely the strongly compactly covered groups, which are the Hausdorff topological groups $G$ such that every element of $G$ is contained in a compact open normal subgroup of $G$. For…

For any $n$-ary associative algebra we construct a $\Z_{n-1}$ graded algebra, which is a universal object containing the $n$-ary algebra as a subspace of elements of degree 1. Similar construction is carried out for semigroups.

Let a real Lie group $G$ have a $C^\infty$ action on a real manifold $M$. Assume every nontrivial element of $G$ has nowhere dense fixpoint set in $M$. First, we show, in every frame bundle, except possibly the $0$th, that each stabilizer…

Given a non compact semisimple Lie group $G$ we describe all homogeneous spaces $G/L$ carrying an invariant almost K\"ahler structure $(\omega,J)$. When $L$ is abelian and $G$ is of classical type, we classify all such spaces which are…

The notion of defining relations is well-defined for any nilpotent Lie algebra. Therefore a conventional way to present a simple Lie algebra G is by splitting it into the direct sum of a commutative Cartan subalgebra and two maximal…

We show that a surface group of high genus contained in a classical simple Lie group can be deformed to become Zariski dense, unless the Lie group is $SU(p,q)$ (resp. $SO^* (2n)$, $n$ odd) and the surface group is maximal in some…

It is well known that the category of real Lie supergroups is equivalent to the category of the so-called (real) Harish-Chandra pairs. That means that a Lie supergroup depends only on the underlying Lie group and its Lie superalgebra with…

Let $G$ be a split real form of a complex simple adjoint group whose Weyl group contains $-1$, let $\lambda$ be the Jordan projection of $G$, and let $S$ be a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2. For a $G$-Hitchin representation…

Using the classification theorem due to Kac we prove that any finite dimensional simple Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is generated by one element.

We discuss dense embeddings of surface groups and fully residually free groups in topological groups. We show that a compact topological group contains a nonabelian dense free group of finite rank if and only if it contains a dense surface…

The main objects of study in this article are pairs $(G, \mathcal{H})$ where $G$ is a topological group with a compact open subgroup, and $\mathcal{H}$ is a finite collection of open subgroups. We develop geometric techniques to study the…

Let $P$ be a convex polytope in the Euclidean space $\E^n$. Consider the group $G_P$ generated by reflections in the facets of $P$. We say that $P$ {\it generates a reflection group $G_P$}. In the present paper, we list all Euclidean…

Let G be a complex semisimple Lie group and H a complex closed connected subgroup. Let g and h be their Lie algebras. We prove that the regular representation of G in $L^2(G/H)$ is tempered if and only if the orthogonal of h in g contains…

Given a Lie group $G$ with finitely many components and a compact Lie group A which acts on $G$ by automorphisms, we prove that there always exists an A-invariant maximal compact subgroup K of G, and that for every such K, the natural map…

We prove that any Lie subgroup $G$ (with finitely many connected components) of an infinite-dimensional topological group $\mathcal G$ which is an amalgamated product of two closed subgroups, can be conjugated to one factor. We apply this…

We classify the 6-dimensional Lie algebras of the form $g\times g$ that admit integrable complex structure. We also endow a Lie algebra of the kind $o(n)\oplus o(n)$ with such a complex structure. The motivation comes from geometric…

For a Lie group G, we seek the right definition of a "moment space" for G. One axiom is clear, involving a closed equivariant three-form. We construct this form for symmetric spaces associated to a symmetric pair (H,G) with an additional…

The Hilbert-Smith conjecture states, for any connected topological manifold $M$, any locally compact subgroup of $\mathrm{Homeo}(M)$ is a Lie group. We generalize basic results of Segal-Kosniowski-tomDieck (2.6), James-Segal (2.12), G…

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…
