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…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of derivations of Lie 2-algebras and construct the associated derivation Lie 3-algebra. We prove that isomorphism classes of non-abelian extensions of Lie 2-algebras are classified by equivalence…

Let S be a scheme. We compute explicitly the group of homomorphisms, the S-sheaf of homomorphisms, the group of extensions, and the S-sheaf of extensions involving locally constant S-group schemes, abelian S-schemes, and S-tori. Using the…

We observe that any regular Lie groupoid G over an manifold M fits into an extension $K \to G \to E$ of a foliation groupoid E by a bundle of connected Lie groups K. If $\FF$ is the foliation on M given by the orbits of E and T is a…

Let L be a finite extension of Qp, and let K be a spherically complete non-archimedean extension field of L. In this paper we introduce a restricted category of continuous representations of locally L-analytic groups G in locally convex…

In this paper, we study the fine Selmer groups of two congruent Galois representations over an admissible $p$-adic Lie extension. We show that under appropriate congruence conditions, if the dual fine Selmer group of one is pseudo-null, so…

We classify nonabelian extensions of Lie algebroids in the holomorphic category. Moreover we study a spectral sequence associated to any such extension. This spectral sequence generalizes the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence for Lie…

We introduce non-abelian cohomology sets of Hopf algebras with coefficients in Hopf modules. We prove that these sets generalize Serre's non-abelian group cohomology theory. Using descent techniques, we establish that our construction…

A degeneration of compact Kaehler manifolds gives rise to a monodromy action on Betti moduli space H^1(X, G) = Hom(\pi_1(X),G)/G over smooth fibres with a complex algebraic structure group G being either abelian or reductive. Assume that…

Let G be a Lie group which is the union of an ascending sequence of Lie groups G_n (all of which may be infinite-dimensional). We study the question when G is the direct limit of the G_n's in the category of Lie groups, topological groups,…

We define the extension group between an atom and an object in a locally noetherian Grothendieck category as a module over a skew field. We show that the dimension of the i-th extension group between an atom and an object coincides with the…

We study Lie foliations on compact manifolds whose transverse group is \emph{metabelian} (a natural generalization of the affine group $\GA$ considered in earlier work). We establish a complete classification of $\GA$-Lie foliations in…

For any Lie group G a renormalization map R on the space of simple G-extensions of Interval Exchange Transformations is constructed. R is applied to prove weak mixing and cohomological non-equivalence of typical G-extensions over IETs, when…

Let $\mathfrak{L}$ be a Leibniz algebra, $E$ a vector space and $\pi : E \to \mathfrak{L}$ an epimorphism of vector spaces with $ \mathfrak{g} = {\rm Ker} (\pi)$. The global extension problem asks for the classification of all Leibniz…

We construct a central extension of the smooth Deligne cohomology group of a compact oriented odd dimensional smooth manifold, generalizing that of the loop group of the circle. While the central extension turns out to be trivial for a…

We describe natural abelian extensions of the Lie algebra $\aut(P)$ of infinitesimal automorphisms of a principal bundle over a compact manifold $M$ and discuss their integrability to corresponding Lie group extensions. Already the case of…

We study bundle gerbes on manifolds $M$ that carry an action of a connected Lie group $G$. We show that these data give rise to a smooth 2-group extension of $G$ by the smooth 2-group of hermitean line bundles on $M$. This 2-group extension…

Let G be a group admitting a non-elementary acylindrical action on a Gromov hyperbolic space (for example, a non-elementary relatively hyperbolic group, or the mapping class group of a closed hyperbolic surface, or Out(F_n) for n>1). We…

In this article, we provide a general set-up for arbitrary linear Lie groups $H\leq \mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ which allows to characterise the almost Abelian Lie algebras admitting a torsion-free $H$-structure. In more concrete terms,…

In this paper, we explore natural connections among the representations of the extended affine Lie algebra $\widehat{sl_N}(\mathbb{C}_q)$ with $\mathbb{C}_q=\mathbb{C}_q[t_0^{\pm1},t_1^{\pm1}]$ an irrational quantum 2-torus, the simple…
