We consider a simple instance of action up to homotopy. More precisely, we consider strict actions of DGLAs in degrees -1 and 0 on degree 1 NQ-manifolds. In a more conventional language this means: strict actions of Lie algebra crossed…

Let G be a Lie group over a local field of positive characteristic which admits a contractive automorphism f (i.e., the forward iterates f^n(x) of each group element x converge to the neutral element 1). We show that then G is a torsion…

A new structure, based on joining copies of a group by means of a \emph{twist}, has recently been considered to describe the brackets of the two exceptional real Lie algebras of type $G_2$ in a highly symmetric way. In this work we show…

A simple procedure to obtain complete, closed expressions for Lie algebra invariants is presented. The invariants are ultimately polynomials in the group parameters. The construction of finite group elements require the use of projectors,…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite dimensional complex Lie algebra and let $A$ be a finite dimensional complex, associative and commutative algebra with unit. We describe the structure of the derivation Lie algebra of the current Lie algebra…

Let G be a split simple group of type G_2 over a field k, and let g be its Lie algebra. Answering a question of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Kunyavski\u{i}, Popov, and Reichstein, we show that the function field k(g) is generated by algebraically…

The adjoint action of a finite group of Lie type on its Lie algebra is studied. A simple formula is conjectured for the number of split semisimple orbits of a given genus. This conjecture is proved for type A, and partial results are…

Suppose that $X=G/K$ is the quotient of a locally compact group by a closed subgroup. If $X$ is locally contractible and connected, we prove that $X$ is a manifold. If the $G$-action is faithful, then $G$ is a Lie group.

We study the topology of compact manifolds with a Lie group action for which there are only finitely many non-principal orbits, and describe the possible orbit spaces which can occur. If some non-principal orbit is singular, we show that…

The totality Lie(V) of all Lie algebra structures on a vector space V over a field F is an algebraic variety over F on which the group GL(V) acts naturally. We give an explicit description of Lie(V) for dim V=3 which is based on the notion…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group of rank one. In this paper the existence of free actions of group $G$ on spheres, real projective spaces and lens spaces has been studied. Most of the results have been obtained for finitistic spaces with…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group acting on a complex vector space $V$ and projective space ${\mathbb P}V$. Let $x\in V$ and ${\cal H}\subseteq {\cal G}$ be the Lie algebra of its stabilizer. Our objective is to understand points…

We classify all transitive actions of Lie algebras of vector fields on C^3 and R^3 up to a local equivalence and discuss why this classification can not be extended in general to the solvable case. The main technical tool is the structure…

Action Lie groupoids are used to model spaces of orbits of actions of Lie groups on manifolds. For each such action groupoid $M\rtimes H$ we construct a locally convex bialgebroid $\mathord{\mathrm{Dirac}}(M\rtimes H)$ with an antipode over…

This paper studies the concepts of a totally compatible dialgebra and a totally compatible Lie dialgebra, defined to be a vector space with two binary operations that satisfy individual and mixed associativity conditions and Lie algebra…

In this paper we study the orbit closure problem for a reductive group $G\subseteq GL(X)$ acting on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over $\C$. We assume that the center of $GL(X)$ lies within $G$ and acts on $V$ through a fixed…

Let $(\mathrm{M}, \omega_{0})$ be a connected paracompact smooth oriented manifold. We establish a necessary and sufficient conditions on Lie subalgebra $\mathfrak{a}$ of $\mathrm{T M}$ such that its orbits becomes diffeomorphic to an open…

We construct the space of vector fields on a generic quantum group. Its elements are products of elements of the quantum group itself with left invariant vector fields. We study the duality between vector fields and 1-forms and generalize…
