The Hilbert-Smith Conjecture states that if G is a locally compact group which acts effectively on a connected manifold as a topological transformation group, then G is a Lie group. A rather straightforward proof of this conjecture is…

A class of Poisson embeddings of reduced, finite dimensional symplectic vector spaces into the dual space $\Lg_R^*$ of a loop algebra, with Lie Poisson structure determined by the classical split $R$--matrix $R=P_+ - P_-$ is introduced.…

We carry an intrinsic approach to the study of the connectedness of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_G$ of $G$-Higgs bundles, over a compact Riemann surface, when $G$ is a complex reductive (not necessarily connected) Lie group. We prove that…

Let G be a complex semisimple Lie group, K a maximal compact subgroup and V an irreducible representation of K. Denote by M the unique closed orbit of G in P(V) and by O its image via the moment map. For any measure on M we construct a map…

Let $G$ be a (non compact) connected simply connected locally compact second countable Lie group, either abelian or unimodular of type I, and $\rho$ an irreducible unitary representation of $G$. Then, we define the analytic torsion of $G$…

Let $G$ be a real linear reductive group and let $H$ be a unimodular, locally algebraic subgroup. Let $\operatorname{supp} L^2(G/H)$ be the set of irreducible unitary representations of $G$ contributing to the decomposition of $L^2(G/H)$,…

In 1995, S. Adams and G. Stuck as well as A. Zeghib independently provided a classification of non-compact Lie groups which can act isometrically and locally effectively on compact Lorentzian manifolds. In the case that the corresponding…

For a closed cocompact subgroup $\Gamma$ of a locally compact group $G$, given a compact abelian subgroup $K$ of $G$ and a homomorphism $\rho:\hat{K}\to G$ satisfying certain conditions, Landstad and Raeburn constructed equivariant…

We consider a connected compact Lie group K acting on a symplectic manifold M such that a moment map m exists. A pull-back function via m Poisson commutes with all K-invariants. Guillemin-Sternberg raised the problem to find a converse. In…

The classical Arnold-Liouville theorem describes the geometry of an integrable Hamiltonian system near a regular level set of the moment map. Our results describe it near a nondegenerate singular level set: a tubular neighborhood of a…

Let $G/H$ be a simply connected homogeneous space of maximal rank. Then the maximal torus $T$-action on $G/H$ is a GKM manifold. We call the $T$-action $j$-independent if any $i(\leq j)$ pairwise distinct isotropy weights at a fixed point…

The moment map $\mu$ is a central concept in the study of Hamiltonian actions of compact Lie groups $K$ on symplectic manifolds. In this short note, we propose a theory of moment maps coupled with an $\mathrm{Ad}_K$-invariant convex…

We prove that the existence of a positively defined, invariant Einstein metric $m$ on a connected homogeneous space $G/H$ of a compact Lie group $G$ is the consequence of non-contractibility of some compact set $C=X_{G,H}^{\Sigma}$ (B\"ohm…

It is explained how a locally convex (lc) topology $\tau$ on a real vector space $V$ extends to a locally multiplicatively convex (lmc) topology $\overline{\tau}$ on the symmetric algebra $S(V)$. This allows the application of the results…

We consider a standard symplectic dynamics on TM generated by a natural Lagrangian L. The Lagrangian is assumed to be invariant with respect to the action TR_g of a Lie group G lifted from the free and proper action R_g of G on M. It is…

We consider compact K\"ahler manifolds acted on by a connected compact Lie group $K$ of isometries in Hamiltonian fashion. We prove that the squared moment map $\|\mu\|^2$ is constant if and only if the manifold is biholomorphically and…

Associated to each finite dimensional linear representation of a group G, there is a vector bundle over the classifying space BG. This construction was studied extensively for compact groups by Atiyah and Segal. We introduce a homotopy…
