In this paper, we establish a sufficient condition for a geodesic in a Riemannian manifold to be homogeneous, i.e. an orbit of an $1$-parameter isometry group. As an application of this result, we provide a new proof of the fact that every…

The paper deals with the complete classification of a subclass of complex filiform Leibniz algebras in dimensions 5 and 6. This subclass arises from the naturally graded filiform Lie algebras. We give a complete list of algebras. In…

We study 3-dimensional non-Riemannian Lorentz geometries, i.e. compact locally homogeneous Lorentz 3-manifolds with non-compact (local) isotropy group. One result is that, up to a finite cover, all such manifolds admit Lorentz metrics of…

This paper proves that there are no compact forms for a large class of homogeneous spaces admitting actions by higher-rank semisimple Lie groups. It builds on Zimmer's approach for studying such spaces using cocycle superrigidity. The proof…

We define a class of spaces on which one may generalise the notion of compactness following motivating examples from higher-dimensional number theory. We establish analogues of several well-known topological results (such as Tychonoff's…

Continuing our research on extensions of locally compact quantum groups, we give a classification of all cocycle matched pairs of Lie algebras in small dimensions and prove that all of them can be exponentiated to cocycle matched pairs of…

We prove a structure theorem for the isometry group Iso(M, g) of a compact Lorentz manifold, under the assumption that a closed subgroup has exponential growth. We don't assume anything about the identity component of Iso(M, g), so that our…

The author reviews his results on locally compact homogeneous spaces with inner metric, in particular, homogeneous manifolds with inner metric. The latter are isometric to homogeneous (sub-)Finslerian manifolds; under some additional…

Through the means of an alternative and less algebraic method, an explicit expression for the isometry groups of the six-dimensional homogeneous nearly K\"ahler manifolds is provided.

We use representation theory to construct spaces of matrices of constant rank. These spaces are parametrized by the natural representation of the general linear group or the symplectic group. We present variants of this idea, with more…

We classify connected Lie groups which are locally isomorphic to generalized Heisenberg groups. For a given generalized Heisenberg group $N$, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of isomorphism classes of connected Lie…

In this paper, we classify three-locally-symmetric spaces for a connected, compact and simple Lie group. Furthermore, we give the classification of invariant Einstein metrics on these spaces.

We give a complete description and classification of locally homogeneous real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^3$. Various groups of mathematicians have been studying this problem in the last 25 years, and several significant classes of…

We study isoparametric submanifolds of rank at least two in a separable Hilbert space, which are known to be homogeneous by a result of Heintze and Liu, and associate to such a submanifold M and a point x in M a canonical homogeneous…

Our purpose is to use a Darboux homogenous derivative to understand the harmonic maps with values in homogeneous space. We present a characterization of these harmonic maps from the geometry of homogeneous space. Furthermore, our work…

We compute invariants of quadratic forms associated to orthogonal hypergeometric groups of degree five. This allows us to determine some commensurabilities between these groups, as well as to say when some thin groups cannot be conjugate to…

We prove a structure theorem for closed topological manifolds of cohomogeneity one; this result corrects an oversight in the literature. We complete the equivariant classification of closed, simply connected cohomogeneity one topological…

A general approach to compute the spherical measure of submanifolds in homogeneous groups is provided. We focus our attention on the homogeneous tangent space, that is a suitable weighted algebraic expansion of the submanifold. This space…

We present a new method for classifying naturally reductive homogeneous spaces -- i.\,e.~homogeneous Riemannian manifolds admitting a metric connection with skew torsion that has parallel torsion \emph{and} curvature. This method is based…

We study homogeneous curves on some classes of reductive homogeneous spaces G=H which are geodesics with respect to any G-invariant metric on G=H. These curves are called equigeodesics. The spaces we consider are certain Stiefel manifolds…
