We discuss compact Hausdorff groups from the point of view of the general theory of absolute extensors. In particular, we characterize the class of simple, connected and simply connected compact Lie groups as AE(2)-groups the third homotopy…

In the present paper we classify all irreducible continuous representations of the simple linearly compact n-Lie superalgebra of type S. The classification is based on a bijective correspondence between the continuous representations of the…

In this paper we prove isomorphisms between 5 Lie groups (of arbitrary dimension and fixed signatures) in Clifford algebra and classical matrix Lie groups - symplectic, orthogonal and linear groups. Also we obtain isomorphisms of…

We study uniform stability of discrete groups, Lie groups and Lie algebras in the rank metric, and the connections between uniform stability of these objects. We prove that semisimple Lie algebras are far from being flexibly…

The article establishes a long list of rigidity properties of lattices in G = SO(n,1) with n>=3 and G = SU(n,1) with n>=2 that are analogous to superrigidity of lattices in higher-rank Lie groups. The arguments are set in the context of…

This paper presents some new Lie groups preserving fixed subspaces of geometric algebras (or Clifford algebras) under the twisted adjoint representation. We consider the cases of subspaces of fixed grades and subspaces determined by the…

Let $E$ be a finite-dimensional real vector space and $M\subseteq E$ be a convex polytope with non-empty interior. We turn the group of all $C^\infty$-diffeomorphisms of $M$ into a regular Lie group.

We explain some simple methods to establish the property of Rapid Decay for a number of groups arising geometrically. We also give new examples of groups with the property of Rapid Decay. In particular we establish the property of Rapid…

Eldredge, Gordina and Saloff-Coste recently conjectured that, for a given compact connected Lie group $G$, there is a positive real number $C$ such that $\lambda_1(G,g)\operatorname{diam}(G,g)^2\leq C$ for all left-invariant metrics $g$ on…

In this survey, we report on the state of the art of some of the fundamental problems in the Lie theory of Lie groups modeled on locally convex spaces, such as integrability of Lie algebras, integrability of Lie subalgebras to Lie…

We fill in the details in a procedure outlined by Serre for drawing pictures of compact real Lie groups. In the case of Sp($2n$), the picture generated by the method is connected with abelian varieties over a number field or a finite field.…

We solve the long standing problem of classification of standard compact Clifford-Klein forms of homogeneous spaces of simple non-compact real Lie groups under the extra assumption that $G$, $H$, $L$ are simple and absolutely simple. Then…

We classify, up to isomorphism, all gradings by an arbitrary abelian group on simple finitary Lie algebras of linear transformations (special linear, orthogonal and symplectic) on infinite-dimensional vector spaces over an algebraically…

This paper presents a full catalogue, up to conjugacy and subgroups of finite index, of all matrix groups $H < {\rm GL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ that give rise to a continuous wavelet transform with associated irreducible quasi-regular…

A class of groups is investigated, each of which has a fairly simple presentation . For example the group $R = (a, b, c, d | a^3 = b^3 = c^3 = d^3 = 1, ba^{-1} =dc^{-1}, ca^{-1} = db^{-1}) $ is in the class. Such a group does not have as a…

Early this century K. H. Hofmann and S. A. Morris introduced the class of pro-Lie groups which consists of projective limits of finite-dimensional Lie groups and proved that it contains all compact groups, all locally compact abelian…

Let G be a compact Lie-group, X a compact G-CW-complex. We define equivariant geometric K-homology groups K^G_*(X), using an obvious equivariant version of the (M,E,f)-picture of Baum-Douglas for K-homology. We define explicit natural…

The 2-rank of a compact Lie group $G$ is the maximal possible rank of the elementary 2-subgroup ${\mathbb Z}_{2}\times... {\mathbb Z}_{2}$ of $G$. The study of 2-ranks (and $p$-rank for any prime $p$) of compact Lie groups was initiated in…

A pro-Lie group is a projective limit of a family of finite-dimensional Lie groups. In this note we show that a pro-Lie group $G$ is a Lie group in the sense that its topology is compatible with a smooth manifold structure for which the…

Let $\gg$ be the Lie algebra of a compact Lie group and let $\theta$ be any automorphism of $\gg$. Let $\gk$ denote the fixed point subalgebra $\gg^\theta$. In this paper we present LiE programs that, for any finite dimensional complex…
