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…
We generalize the classical construction principles of infinite-dimensional real (and complex) Lie groups to the case of Lie groups over non-discrete topological fields. In particular, we discuss linear Lie groups, mapping groups, test…
We investigate the universal cover of a topological group that is not necessarily connected. Its existence as a topological group is governed by a Taylor cocycle, an obstruction in 3-cohomology. Alternatively, it always exists as a…
We prove the Milnor conjecture for Lie groups and the Friedlander conjecture for complex algebraic Lie groups.
We establish some results about large restricted Lie algebras similar to those known in the Group Theory. As an application we use this group-theoretic approach to produce some examples of restricted as well as ordinary Lie algebras which…
We consider a problem whether a given Lie group can be realized as the group of all biholomorphic automorphisms of a bounded domain in ${\mathbb C}^n$. In an earlier paper of 1990, we proved the result for connected linear Lie groups. In…
We present a selection of results contributing to a structure theory of totally disconnected locally compact groups.
We describe a perfect group whose localization is not perfect.
Let $U$ be a finite dimentional vector space over $\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$, and let $\rho:G\to GL(U)$ be a representation of a connected Lie group $G$. A linear subspace $V\subset U$ is called universal if every orbit of $G$ meets $V$. We…
These are notes of a graduate course on representations of non-compact semisimple Lie groups given by the author at MIT.
A Lie groupoid can be thought of as a generalization of a Lie group in which the multiplication is only defined for certain pairs of elements. From another perspective, Lie groupoids can be regarded as manifolds endowed with a type of…
We give one example for a one-parameter nonexpansive semigroup.
The aim of this paper is to introduce and study Lie algebras and Lie groups over noncommutative rings. For any Lie algebra $\gg$ sitting inside an associative algebra $A$ and any associative algebra $\FF$ we introduce and study the algebra…
We provide detailed calculations for the classification of representations of compact simple Lie groups with non-empty boundary in the orbit space, first announced in a previous paper [arXiv:2112.00513] by the same authors.
The Divisibility Graph of a finite group $G$ has vertex set the set of conjugacy class lengths of non-central elements in $G$ and two vertices are connected by an edge if one divides the other. We determine the connected components of the…
Lie groups considered as three-dimensional almost paracontact almost paracomplex Riemannian manifolds are investigated. In each basic class of the classification used for the manifolds under consideration, a correspondence is established…
We construct examples of two-step and three-step nilpotent Lie groups whose automorphism groups are `small' in the sense of either not having a dense orbit for the action on the Lie group, or being nilpotent (the latter being stronger).…
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…
We present various results on disconnected reductive groups, in particular about the characteristic 0 representation theory of such groups over finite fields.
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…
