Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a Lie group with solvable connected component and finitely-generated component group and $\alpha\in H^2(\mathbb{G},\mathbb{S}^1)$ a cohomology class. We prove that if $(\mathbb{G},\alpha)$ is of type I then the same…
We address the type I dichotomy for two-step nilpotent locally compact groups. Invoking work of Baggett-Kleppner, we characterize the closed points of the unitary dual of such a group $G$ purely in terms of the group structure. An algebraic…
We provide characterizations of Lie groups as compact-like groups in which all closed zero-dimensional metric (compact) subgroups are discrete. The "compact-like" properties we consider include (local) compactness, (local)…
We show that for a closed embedding $\mathbb{H}\le \mathbb{G}$ of locally compact quantum groups (LCQGs) with $\mathbb{G}/\mathbb{H}$ admitting an invariant probability measure, a unitary $\mathbb{G}$-representation is type-I if its…
If A is a C*-algebra, G a locally compact group, K{\subset}G a compact subgroup and {\alpha}:G{\to}Aut(A) a continuous homomorphism, let Ax_{{\alpha}}G denote the crossed product. In this paper we prove that Ax_{{\alpha}}G is nuclear…
A topological group is called a pro-Lie group if it is isomorphic to a closed subgroup of a product of finite-dimensional real Lie groups. This class of groups is closed under the formation of arbitrary products and closed subgroups and…
We prove the first rigidity and classification theorems for crossed product von Neumann algebras given by actions of non-discrete, locally compact groups. We prove that for arbitrary free probability measure preserving actions of connected…
Let G be a Lie group over a local field of positive characteristic which admits a contractive automorphism f (i.e., the forward iterates f^n(x) of each group element x converge to the neutral element 1). We show that then G is a torsion…
We consider group actions of topological groups on C*-algebras of the types which occur in many physics models. These are singular actions in the sense that they need not be strongly continuous, or the group need not be locally compact. We…
A locally compact contraction group is a pair (G,f) where G is a locally compact group and f an automorphism of G which is contractive in the sense that the forward orbit under f of each g in G converges to the neutral element e, as n tends…
The semidirect product $\mathbb{G}=\mathbb{L}\rtimes \mathbb{K}$ attached to a compact-group action on a connected, simply-connected solvable Lie group has a dense set of compact elements precisely when the $s\in \mathbb{K}$ operating on…
Let $H$ be a group and $E$ a set such that $H \subseteq E$. We shall describe and classify up to an isomorphism of groups that stabilizes $H$ the set of all group structures that can be defined on $E$ such that $H$ is a subgroup of $E$. A…
We prove that locally countably-compact Hausdorff topological groups $\mathbb{G}$ act continuously on their iterated joins $E_n\mathbb{G}:=\mathbb{G}^{*(n+1)}$ (the total spaces of the Milnor-model $n$-universal $\mathbb{G}$-bundles) as…
Let $\G$ be a locally compact group satisfying some technical requirements and $\wG$ its unitary dual. Using the theory of twisted crossed product $C^*$-algebras, we develop a twisted global quantization for symbols defined on $\G\times\wG$…
A subspace Y of a separable metrizable space X is separable, but without X metrizable this is not true even If Y is a closed linear subspace of a topological vector space X. K.H. Hofmann and S.A. Morris introduced the class of pro-Lie…
We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also…
A pointwise-elliptic subset of a topological group is one whose elements all generate relatively-compact subgroups. A connected locally compact group has a dense pointwise-elliptic subgroup if and only if it is an extension by a compact…
This thesis is devoted to the study of the interactions existing between the algebraic structure of locally compact groups and the properties of their continuous unitary representations, with a special emphasis on the Type I groups. On the…
We show that a compactly generated locally compact group of polynomial growth having no non-trivial compact normal subgroups can be embedded as a co-compact subgroup into a semidirect product of a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie…
In this paper, we give some properties of the fixed point algebra and the crossed product of a unital separable simple infinite dimensional C*-algebra by an action of a second-countable compact group with the tracial Rokhlin property with…
