We extend a classical theorem of Courr\`{e}ge to Lie groups in a global setting, thus characterising all linear operators on the space of smooth functions of compact support that satisfy the positive maximum principle. We show that these…
We discuss measures, invariant measures on definable groups, and genericity, often in an NIP (failure of the independence property) environment. We complete the proof of the third author's conjectures relating definably compact groups $G$…
It is shown that a closed solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is compactly generated. In particular, every discrete solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is finitely generated. Generalizations to locally compact groups are…
The basic aim of this paper is to study asymptotic properties of the convolution powers K^(n) = K * K * ... * K of a possibly non-symmetric probability density K on a locally compact, compactly generated group G. If K is centered, we show…
A local limit theorem is proven on connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie groups, for a class of generating measures satisfying a moment condition and a condition on the characteristic function of the abelianization. The result extends…
A p-compact group, as defined by Dwyer and Wilkerson, is a purely homotopically defined p-local analog of a compact Lie group. It has long been the hope, and later the conjecture, that these objects should have a classification similar to…
A locally compact groupoid is said to be exact if its associated reduced crossed product functor is exact. In this paper, we establish some permanence properties of exactness, including generalizations of some known results for exact…
In this paper, we study deformations of crossed homomorphisms on Lie groups by means of the cohomology which controls them. Using the Moser type argument, we obtain several rigidity results of crossed homomorphisms on Lie groups. We further…
We study totally disconnected locally compact second countable (t.d.l.c.s.c.) groups that contain a compact open subgroup with finite rank. We show such groups that additionally admit a pro-$\pi$ compact open subgroup for some finite set of…
The characteristic index of a locally compact connected group $G$ is the non-negative integer $d$ for which we have a homeomorphism $G\cong K\times \mathbb{R}^d$ with $K\le G$ maximal compact. We prove that the characteristic indices of…
We generalize the fixed-point property for discrete groups acting on convex cones given by Monod in \cite{monod} to topological groups. At first, we focus on describing this fixed-point property from a functional point of view, and then we…
We show that every countable direct system of finite-dimensional real or complex Lie groups has a direct limit in the category of Lie groups modelled on locally convex spaces. This enables us to push all basic constructions of…
We describe a geometric compactification of the moduli stack of left invariant complex structures on a fixed real Lie group or a fixed quotient. The extra points are CR structures transverse to a real foliation.
The weak Haagerup property for locally compact groups and the weak Haagerup constant was recently introduced by the second author. The weak Haagerup property is weaker than both weak amenability introduced by Cowling and the first author…
In this paper we study left invariant CR structures on Lie groups which are compatible with geometric properties as Poisson and kahler properties.
A locally conformally product (LCP) structure on a compact conformal manifold is a closed non-exact Weyl connection (i.e.~a linear connection which is locally but not globally the Levi-Civita connection of Riemannian metrics in the…
We extend a theorem of Haagerup and Kraus in the C*-algebra context: for a locally compact group with the approximation property (AP), the reduced C*-crossed product construction preserves the strong operator approximation property (SOAP).…
We study locally compact convergence groups, in particular the link between the convergence property and the Specker compactifications (a genaralization of the ends) of a group.
The class, denoted by $\mathscr{S}$, of totally disconnected locally compact groups which are non-discrete, compactly generated, and topologically simple contains many compelling examples. In recent years, a general theory for these groups,…
We show that every dense subgroup of a connected Lie group G contains a dense subgroup generated by 2d elements, where d=dim(G). We also give a detailed proof for the quantitive characterization of a contracting projective transformation in…
