Let F be a finitely generated discrete group. Given a covering map H to G of Lie groups with G either compact or complex reductive, there is an induced covering map Hom(F, H) to Hom(F, G). We show that when the fundamental group of G is…

If H is a flat group of automorphisms of finite rank n of a totally disconnected, locally compact group G, then each orbit of H in the metric space B(G) of compact, open subgroups of G is quasi-isometric to n-dimensional euclidean space. In…

We prove that group homology of the diffeomorphism group of $\#^g S^n \times S^n$ as a discrete group is independent of $g$ in a range, provided that $n>2$. This answers the high dimensional version of a question posed by Morita about…

We give a direct and self-contained proof that if $H$ is a Hopf algebra and $A\subset H$ is a right coideal subalgebra such $A$ is a direct summand in $H$ as an $A$-bimodule, then $H$ is faithfully flat as a left and right $A$-module.

We study the automorphism group of Hall's universal locally finite group $H$. We show that in $Aut(H)$ every subgroup of index $< 2^\omega$ lies between the pointwise and the setwise stabilizer of a unique finite subgroup $A$ of $H$, and…

In previous work, to each Hopf algebra H and each invertible right two-cocycle on H, Eli Aljadeff and the first-named author attached a subalgebra B of the free commutative Hopf algebra S generated by the coalgebra underlying H; the algebra…

We provide a review of results on two-sided ideals in the enveloping algebra U$(\frak g(\infty))$ of a locally simple Lie algebra $\frak g(\infty)$. We pay special attention to the case when $\frak g(\infty)$ is one of the finitary Lie…

For any finite-dimensional Lie bialgebra $g$, we construct a bialgebra $A_{u,v}(g)$ over the ring $C[u][[v]]$, which quantizes simultaneously the universal enveloping bialgebra $U({g})$, the bialgebra dual to $U(g^*)$, and the symmetric…

With the long-term goal of proving local structure theorems of algebraic stacks in positive characteristic near points with reductive (but possibly non-linearly reductive) stabilizer, we conjecture that quotient stacks of the form…

A well-known and old result of Hazewinkel and Koszul states that the cohomology of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra is isomorphic, up to a suitable shift, to its twisted homology, a Lie-theoretical version of Poincare duality. This paper…

Let $G$ be a complex linear algebraic group which is simple of adjoint type. Let $\overline G$ be the wonderful compactification of $G$. We prove that the tangent bundle of $\overline G$ is stable with respect to every polarization on…

The universal enveloping algebra of any simple Lie algebra g contains a family of commutative subalgebras, called the quantum shift of argument subalgebras math.RT/0606380, math.QA/0612798. We prove that generically their action on…

In this paper we revisit and extend the constructions of Glauberman and Doro on groups with triality and Moufang loops to Hopf algebras. We prove that the universal enveloping algebra of any Lie algebra with triality is a Hopf algebra with…

Let $L$ and $H$ be finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebras over a perfect field $\F$ such that $u(L)\cong u(H)$, where $u(L)$ is the restricted enveloping algebra of $L$. We prove that if $L$ is $p$-nilpotent and abelian, then $L\cong…

We consider pairs of Lie algebras $g$ and $\bar{g}$, defined over a common vector space, where the Lie brackets of $g$ and $\bar{g}$ are related via a post-Lie algebra structure. The latter can be extended to the Lie enveloping algebra…

Given an algebraic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\mathbb{C}$, we canonically associate to it a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_{\infty}$ defined over $\mathbb{C}_{\infty}$-the reduction of $\mathbb{C}$ mod infinitely large prime, and show that…

We give simple and unified proofs of the known stability and rigidity results for Lie algebras, Lie subalgebras and Lie algebra homomorphisms. Moreover, we investigate when a Lie algebra homomorphism is stable under all automorphisms of the…

The notion of Hopf center and Hopf cocenter of a Hopf algebra is investigated by the extension theory of Hopf algebras. We prove that each of them yields an exact sequence of Hopf algebras. Moreover the exact sequences are shown to satisfy…

Given a finite cocommutative Hopf algebra $A$ over a commutative regular ring $R$, the lattice of localising tensor ideals of the stable category of Gorenstein projective $A$-modules is described in terms of the corresponding lattices for…
