We study HKT structures on nilpotent Lie groups and on associated nilmanifolds. We exhibit three weak HKT structures on $\R^8$ which are homogeneous with respect to extensions of Heisenberg type Lie groups. The corresponding hypercomplex…
In the study of NIL-affine actions on nilpotent Lie groups we introduced so called LR-structures on Lie algebras. The aim of this paper is to consider the existence question of LR-structures, and to start a structure theory of LR-algebras.…

In the context of a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie group, whose representations are square-integrable modulo the center, we find characterization results of extra-invariant spaces under the left translations associated with the…
We propose the study and description of the structure of complex Lie algebras with nilradical a nilpotent Lie algebra of type 2 by using sl2(C)-representation theory. Our results will be applied to review the classification given in [1] (J.…
We are interested in the classification of left-invariant symplectic structures on Lie groups. Some classifications are known, especially in low dimensions. In this paper we establish a new approach to classify (up to automorphism and…
We classify 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups, decomposable or of nilpotency step at most 4, endowed with left-invariant purely coclosed $G_2$-structures. This is done by going through the list of all 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras…
In this paper we study the Lie algebras of derivations of two-step nilpotent algebras. We obtain a class of Lie algebras with trivial center and abelian ideal of inner derivations. Among these, the relations between the complex and the real…
This is a short presentation of some classical results on finite dimensional complex Lie algebras (classification of nilpotent Lie algebras, deformations and perturbations, contractions and rigidity). We present some applications to…
In this work we study the existence of closed magnetic geodesics on three-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifolds for every left-invariant Lorentz force. Our first objective is to establish the existence of closed contractible magnetic…
We construct examples of two-step and three-step nilpotent Lie groups whose automorphism groups are `small' in the sense of either not having a dense orbit for the action on the Lie group, or being nilpotent (the latter being stronger).…
Non-degenerate bilinear forms over fields of characteristic 2, in particular, non-symmetric ones, are classified with respect to various equivalences, and the Lie algebras preserving them are described. Although it is known that there are…
In this paper we give a complete classification of two-step nilpotent Leibniz algebras in terms of Kronecker modules associated with pairs of bilinear forms. In particular, we describe the complex and the real case of the indecomposable…
We study left-invariant locally conformally K\"ahler structures on Lie groups, or equivalently, on Lie algebras. We give some properties of these structures in general, and then we consider the special cases when its complex structure is…
The transformation properties of a Kalb-Ramond field are those of a gauge potential. However, it is not clear what is the group structure to which these transformations are associated. In this paper, we complete a program started in…
We study left-invariant symmetric Killing 2-tensors on 2-step nilpotent Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian metric, and construct genuine examples, which are not linear combinations of parallel tensors and symmetric products…
In this paper we study the isotopism classes of two-step nilpotent algebras. We show that every nilpotent Leibniz algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ with $\operatorname{dim}[\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{g}]=1$ is isotopic to the Heisenberg Lie algebra or to…
We generalize a result on the Heisenberg Lie algebra that gives restrictions to possible Lie bialgebra cobrackets on 2-step nilpotent algebras with some additional properties. For the class of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras coming from…
We determine all Ricci flat left invariant Lorentzian metrics on simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. We show that the $2k+1$-dimensional Heisenberg Lie group $H_{2k+1}$ carries a Ricci flat left invariant Lorentzian metric if and…
We are interested in the class, in the Elie Cartan sense, of left invariant forms on a Lie group. We construct the class of Lie algebras provided with a contact form and classify the frobeniusian Lie algebras up to a contraction. We also…
