We give a construction of direct limits in the category of complete metric scalable groups and provide sufficient conditions for the limit to be an infinite-dimensional Carnot group. We also prove a Rademacher-type theorem for such limits.

This is a preliminary version of a book on infinite-dimensional Lie groups. It covers the basics of calculus and manifolds in the context of locally convex spaces, based on Bastiani's notion of a smooth map. Starting from this concept, we…

We investigate the finite-dimensional Lie groups whose points are separated by the continuous homomorphisms into groups of invertible elements of locally convex algebras with continuous inversion that satisfy an appropriate completeness…

We give criteria for finite dimensionality or infinite dimensionality of the polynomial centralizer of the Lie algebra of a linear Lie group, in terms of invariants and relative invariants of the group. In the finite dimensional scenario…

A model of 3-dimensional topological quantum field theory is rigorously constructed. The results are applied to an explicit formula for deformation quantization of any finite-dimensional Lie bialgebra over the field of complex numbers. This…

We prove strong and explicit diameter bounds for finite simple Lie algebras, which parallel Babai's conjecture for finite simple groups. Specifically, we show that any nonabelian finite simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\mathbf{F}_p$…

We solve three open problems concerning infinite-dimensional Lie groups posed in a recent survey article by K.-H. Neeb: (1) There exists a subgroup of some infinite-dimensional Lie group G which does not admit an initial Lie subgroup…

We develop aspects of geometric control theory on Lie groups G which may be infinite dimensional, and on smooth G-manifolds M modelled on locally convex spaces. As a tool, we discuss existence and uniqueness questions for differential…

We give a comprehensive survey of the theory of finite dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and announce that for p>3 the classification of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras is complete. Any…

We introduce a class of Lie algebras called admissible Lie algebras. We show that a locally finite admissible simple Lie algebra contains a nonzero maximal toral subalgebra and the corresponding root system is an irreducible locally finite…

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…

The expansion method of Lie algebras by a semigroup or S-expansion is generalized to act directly on the group manifold, and not only at the level of its Lie algebra. The consistency of this generalization with the dual formulation of the…

We consider some special type extensions of an arbitrary Lie algebra, which we call universal extensions. We show that these extensions are in one-to-one correspondence with finite dimensional associative commutative algebras. We also…

For any Inonu-Wigner contraction of a three dimensional Lie algebra we construct the corresponding contractions of representations. Our method is quite canonical in the sense that in all cases we deal with realizations of the…

We show that finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero such that their high-degree cohomology in any finite-dimensional non-trivial irreducible module vanishes, are, essentially, direct sums of semisimple and…

There exist simple dimension groups which cannot be expressed as a direct limit of simple, or even approximately divisible dimension groups, each with finitely many pure traces, and we can specify its infinite-dimensional Choquet simplex of…

It is well known that a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is simple exactly when its derivation algebra is simple. In this paper we characterize those Lie algebras of arbitrary dimension over any field that…

A topological group is called a pro-Lie group if it is isomorphic to a closed subgroup of a product of finite-dimensional real Lie groups. This class of groups is closed under the formation of arbitrary products and closed subgroups and…

We study a new class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, which has important applications to the theory of integrable equations. The construction of these algebras is very similar to the one for automorphic functions and this motivates…

We address a linearity problem for differentiable vectors in representations of infinite-dimensional Lie groups on locally convex spaces, which is similar to the linearity problem for the directional derivatives of functions.
