Half Lie groups exist only in infinite dimensions: They are smooth manifolds and topological groups such that right translations are smooth, but left translations are merely required to be continuous. The main examples are groups of $H^s$…

We consider a $4$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ equip\-ped with a circulant structure $q$, which is an isometry with respect to the metric $g$ and $q^{4}=\id$, $q^{2}\neq \pm \id$. For such a manifold $(M, g, q)$ we obtain some…

We develop the theory of left-invariant generalized pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups. Such a metric accompanied by a choice of left-invariant divergence operator gives rise to a Ricci curvature tensor and we study the corresponding…
