We study various kinds of Grassmannians or Lagrangian Grassmannians over $\mathbb{R}$, $\mathbb{C}$ or $\mathbb{H}$, all of which can be expressed as $\mathbb{G}/\mathbb{P}$ where $\mathbb{G}$ is a classical group and $\mathbb{P}$ is a…

Ashtekar and Samuel have shown that Bianchi cosmological models with compact spatial sections must be of Bianchi class A. Motivated by general results on the symmetry reduction of variational principles, we show how to extend the…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite $K$-bi-invariant measure on a compact Gelfand pair $(G, K)$ to have a square-integrable density. For convolution semigroups, this is equivalent to having a continuous density in…

In this paper we develop algorithms of finding homogeneous spaces of semisimple non-compact Lie groups which do not admit compact Clifford-Klein forms. We propose a computer program which checks if the given homogeneous space has a…

We study the homogeneous spaces of a simply connected, compact, simple Lie group $G$ through the lens of K-theory. Our methods apply equally well to the case where $G$ is in one of the four infinite families of classical groups, or one of…

Let $X= G/K$ symmetric space of non compact type, where $G$ is a rank-one connected semisimple Lie group with finite center. We shall look at the transform $ P_\lambda f(x) = f \ast \varphi_\lambda(x)$, where, $\lambda \in \mathbb C$ and…

A reductive homogeneous space $G/H$ is always diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of an orbit of a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. We prove that if $G/H$ admits compact quotients, then the sphere bundle associated to this normal bundle is…

For a given polyhedron $K\subset M$ the notation $R_M(K)$ denotes a regular neighborhood of $K$ in $M$. We study the following problem: find all pairs $(m,k)$ such that if $K$ is a compact $k$-polyhedron and $M$ a PL $m$-manifold, then…
