The complexity of the simple and the Kac modules over the general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$ of type $A$ was computed by Boe, Kujawa, and Nakano in 2012. A natural continuation to their work is computing the complexity of…
We discuss models of the G\"odel Universe as Lie groups with left-invariant Lorentz metric for two simply connected four-dimensional Lie groups, the Iwasawa decomposition for semisimple Lie groups, and left-invariant Lorentz metric on ${\rm…
We show that $U(k)$-invariant hypercomplex structures on (open subsets) of regular semisimple adjoint orbits in $\mathfrak{gl}(k,{\mathbb C})$ correspond to algebraic curves $C$ of genus $(k-1)^2$, equipped with a flat projection…
Let $L_f$ be a link of an isolated hypersurface singularity defined by a weighted homogenous polynomial $f.$ In this article, we give ten examples of $2$-connected seven dimensional Sasaki-Einstein manifolds $L_f$ for which $H_{3}(L_f,…
We complete the classification of six-dimensional strongly unimodular almost nilpotent Lie algebras admitting complex structures. For several cases we describe the space of complex structures up to isomorphism. As a consequence we determine…
In this paper we define odd dimensional unitary groups $U_{2n+1}(R,\Delta)$. These groups contain as special cases the odd dimensional general linear groups $GL_{2n+1}(R)$ where $R$ is any ring, the odd dimensional orthogonal and symplectic…
We construct explicit left invariant quaternionic contact structures on Lie groups with zero and non-zero torsion, and with non-vanishing quaternionic contact conformal curvature tensor, thus showing the existence of quaternionic contact…
If the holonomy representation of an $(n+2)$--dimensional simply-connected Lorentzian manifold $(M,h)$ admits a degenerate invariant subspace its holonomy group is contained in the parabolic group $(\mathbb{R} \times SO(n))\ltimes…
Let $G$ be a Lie group of even dimension and let $(g,J)$ be a left invariant anti-K\"ahler structure on $G$. In this article we study anti-K\"{a}hler structures considering the distinguished cases where the complex structure $J$ is abelian…
A finite subgroup of the conformal group SL(2,C) can be related to invariant polynomials on a hypersurface in C^3. The latter then carries a simple singularity, which resolves by a finite iteration of basic cycles of deprojections. The…
The complex Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{g}$ of type $D(2,1;a)$ - also denoted by $\mathfrak{osp}(4,2;a) $ - are usually considered for "non-singular" values of the parameter $a$, for which they are simple. In this paper we introduce five…
We study the existence of cocompact lattices in Lie groups with bi-invariant metric of signature $(2,n-2)$. We assume in addition that the Lie groups under consideration are simply-connected, indecomposable and solvable. Then their centre…
We define a sequence of integer-valued invariants $\gamma^k(L)$ for a $3$-component link $L$. We prove that the resulting $\gamma$-invariants are invariant under concordance, and more generally under weak cobordism, and that they lift…
We introduce supergroup analogues of 3-manifold invariants $\hat{Z}$, also known as homological blocks, which were previously considered for ordinary compact semisimple Lie groups. We focus on superunitary groups, and work out the case of…
The systematic study of CR manifolds originated in two pioneering 1932 papers of \'Elie Cartan. In the first, Cartan classifies all homogeneous CR 3-manifolds, the most well-known case of which is a one-parameter family of left-invariant CR…
In this paper we study the scalar geometries occurring in the dimensional reduction of minimal five-dimensional supergravity to three Euclidean dimensions, and find that these depend on whether one first reduces over space or over time. In…
In this paper a conformal classification of three dimensional left-invariant sub-Riemannian contact structures is carried out; in particular we will prove the following dichotomy: either a structure is locally conformal to the Heisenberg…
Motivated by Kohno's result on the holonomy Lie algebra of a hyperplane arrangement, we define the holonomy Lie algebra of a finite geometric lattice in a combinatorial way. For a solvable pair of lattices, we show that the holonomy Lie…
Left invariant affine structures in a Lie group $G$ are in one-to-one correspondence with left-symmetric algebras over its Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=T_eG$ (``over'' means that the commutator $[x,y]=xy-yx$ coincides with the Lie bracket;…
In this study, we investigate two distinct classes of normal geodesic flows associated with the left-invariant sub-Riemannian metric on the (2n + 1)-dimensional Heisenberg group. The first class arises from the left-invariant distribution,…
