We define Lie subalgebras of the group algebra of a finite pseudo-reflection group that are involved in the definition of the Cherednik KZ-systems, and determine their structure. We provide applications for computing the Zariski closure of…

Early this century K. H. Hofmann and S. A. Morris introduced the class of pro-Lie groups which consists of projective limits of finite-dimensional Lie groups and proved that it contains all compact groups, all locally compact abelian…

We show that the topological groups $Diff_{+}^{1}(I)$ and $Diff_{+}^{1}(\mathbb{S}^1)$ of orientation-preserving $C^1$-diffeomorphisms of the interval and the circle, respectively, admit finitely generated dense subgroups. We also…

According to Markov, a subset of an abelian group G of the form {x in G: nx=a}, for some integer n and some element a of G, is an elementary algebraic set; finite unions of elementary algebraic sets are called algebraic sets. We prove that…

Let $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, and $T_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the set of $n\times n$ lower triangular matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$. We show that $T_n(\mathbb{K})$ has dense subsemigroups that are generated by $n+1$…

Let $\mathbb F=\mathbb R$, $\mathbb C$ or $\mathbb H$. Let ${\bf H}_{\mathbb F}^n$ denote the $n$-dimensional $\mathbb F$-hyperbolic space. Let ${\rm U}(n,1; \mathbb F)$ be the linear group that acts by the isometries. A subgroup $G$ of…

Any Lie group G acting on a Euclidean nonvoid open subset M can be seen as a subgroup of the smooth diffeomorphisms Diff^\infty(M,M) of M into itself. Thus actions by such Lie groups G correspond to smooth coordinate transforms on M which,…

We study the critical exponents of discrete subgroups of a higher rank semi-simple real linear Lie group $G$. Let us fix a Cartan subspace $\mathfrak a\subset \mathfrak g$ of the Lie algebra of $G$. We show that if $\Gamma< G$ is a discrete…

The difference Galois theory of Mahler equations is an active research area. The present paper aims at developing the analytic aspects of this theory. We first attach a pair of connection matrices to any regular singular Mahler equation. We…

Let $G$ be a real semisimple Lie group with trivial centre and no compact factors. Given a conjugate pair of either real hyperbolic elements or unipotent elements $a$ and $b$ in $G$ we find a conjugating element $g \in G$ such that…

There are strong analogies between groups definable in o-minimal structures and real Lie groups. Nevertheless, unlike the real case, not every definable group has maximal definably compact subgroups. We study definable groups G which are…

We partially describe equivariant Dirac and generalized complex structures on a homogeneous space $G/K$ by giving equivalent data involving only the Lie algebra. We consider real semisimple adjoint orbits in any semisimple Lie algebra over…

A weakly complete vector space over $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{K}^X$ for some set $X$ algebraically and topologically. The significance of this type of topological vector spaces is…

Let $G$ be a group generated by a set $X$. It is well known and easy to check that \[ [g_1, g_2, \dots ,g_n] = 1 \mbox{ for all } g_i \in G \qquad \iff \qquad [x_1, x_2, \dots , x_n] =1 \mbox{ for all } x_i \in X. \] Let $L$ be a Lie…

We continue the study of the distribution of closed geodesics on nilmanifolds constructed from a simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group with a left invariant metric and a lattice. We consider a Lie group with an associated 2-step…

For $\textrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ ($n\geq3$), $\textrm{SO}(n+1,n)$ ($n\geq2$), $\textrm{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})$ ($n\geq2$) and for the adjoint real split form of the exceptional group $\textrm{G}_2$, we exhibit non-uniform lattices in which we…

Let $\mathbb{P}$ be an algebraic number field. We provide a computational analog of the strong approximation theorem for finitely generated Zariski dense groups $H\leq \mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{P})$, $n$ prime. That is, we present algorithms to…

In this article, we establish results concerning the cohomology of Zariski dense subgroups of solvable linear algebraic groups. We show that for an irreducible solvable $\mathbb{Q}$-defined linear algebraic group $\mathbf{G}$, there exists…

We show that orbit equivalence relations arising from essentially free ergodic probability measure preserving actions of Zariski dense discrete subgroups of simple algebraic groups are strongly prime. As a consequence, we prove the…

Let G be a finitely generated group and M_n(G) the number of its normal subgroup subgroups of index at most n. For linear groups G we show that M_n(G) can grow polynomially in n only if the semisimple part of the Zariski closure of G has…
