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.

The Morimoto theorem states that each connected abelian complex Lie group $A$ can be decomposed into the direct product of a group on which all holomorphic functions are constant, finitely many copies of $\mathbb{C}^\times$ and a vector…

We find sharp upper bounds on the order of the automorphism group of a hypersurface in complex projective space in every dimension and degree. In each case, we prove that the hypersurface realizing the upper bound is unique up to…

This is a concise introduction to the theory of Lie groupoids, with emphasis in their role as models for stacks. After some preliminaries, we review the foundations on Lie groupoids, and we carefully study equivalences and proper groupoids.…

We prove that for every closed, connected, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold, there exists an alternating group A_n which is not the topological symmetry group of any graph embedded in the manifold. We also show that for every finite group…

The purpose of this paper is to develop a Lie algebraic approach to obtain new proofs of important results of H.-C. Wang, Tits and Wolf-Wang-Ziller on compact complex homogeneous manifolds emphasizing only those that admit a transitive…

In a previous paper, we introduce and study formal manifolds, which generalize smooth manifolds. In this paper, we establish the basic theory of formal Lie groups, which are group objects in the category of formal manifolds. In particular,…

It is proved that a Stein manifold acted on by a connected compact Lie group is spherical if and only if there exists an antiholomorphic involution preserving each orbit of the action. This involution can be chosen equivariant with respect…

A multiplicatively closed, horizontal foliation on a Lie groupoid may be viewed as a "pseudoaction" on the base manifold $M$. A pseudoaction generates a pseudogroup of transformations of $M$ in the same way an ordinary Lie group action…

It is well known that the category of real Lie supergroups is equivalent to the category of the so-called (real) Harish-Chandra pairs. That means that a Lie supergroup depends only on the underlying Lie group and its Lie superalgebra with…

A surface group representation into a Lie group is called totally elliptic if every simple closed curve on the surface is mapped to an elliptic element of the target group. In this note, we characterize all totally elliptic surface group…

For the special linear group $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ and for the singular quadratic Danielewski surface $x y = z^2$ we give explicitly a finite number of complete polynomial vector fields that generate the Lie algebra of all polynomial…

The paper presents the complete classification of Automorphic Lie Algebras based on $\mathfrak{sl}_n (\mathbb{C})$, where the symmetry group $G$ is finite and the orbit is any of the exceptional $G$-orbits in $\overline{\mathbb{C}}$. A key…

We reconstruct a quantum group associated with any Lie algebra together with its representation theory from twisted homologies of generalized configuration spaces of disks. Along the way it brings new combinatorics to the theory, but our…

We describe a technique to determine the automorphism group of a geometrically represented graph, by understanding the structure of the induced action on all geometric representations. Using this, we characterize automorphism groups of…

The groups of automorphisms of the Lie algebras of formally analytic vector fields with constant divergence are found.

Let M be a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume that admits a decomposition into right-angled ideal polyhedra. We show that M has a deformation retraction that is a virtually special square complex, in the sense of Haglund and…

By considering suitable Poisson groupoids, we develop an approach to obtain Lie group structures on (subgroups of) the Poisson diffeomorphism groups of various classes of Poisson manifolds. As applications, we show that the Poisson…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of isometric immersions of a simply connected Riemannian manifold into a two-step nilpotent Lie group. This comprises the case of immersions into $H$-type groups.

Regular Lie groups are infinite dimensional Lie groups with the property that smooth curves in the Lie algebra integrate to smooth curves in the group in a smooth way (an `evolution operator' exists). Up to now all known smooth Lie groups…
