The Cartan and Iwasawa decompositions of real reductive Lie groups play a fundamental role in the representation theory of the groups and their corresponding symmetric spaces. These decompositions are defined by an involution with a compact…

This paper concerns a super Poisson-Lie structure on the real Lie supergroup $SU(m \ve n)$. In fact, it turns out that the realification of the complex Lie supergroup $SL(m \ve n, \C)$ is a double of $SU(m \ve n)$ i.e. it is endowed with a…

The existence of closed orbits of real algebraic groups on real algebraic varieties is established. As an application, it is shown that if G is a real reductive linear group with Iwasawa decomposition G= KAN, then every unipotent subgroup…

We study the Iwasawa-type decomposition of an open subset of SL(n,C) as SU(p,q)AN. We show that the dressing action of SU(p,q) is globally defined on the space of admissible elements in AN. We also show that the space of admissible elements…

In this paper we consider Lie superalgebras decomposable as the sum of two proper subalgebras. Any of these algebras has the form of the vector space sum $L=A+B$ where $A$ and $B$ are proper simple subalgebras which need not be ideals of…

Using tools from the geometry of Einstein solvmanifolds, we give a geometric argument that a semi-simple Lie algebra (of non-compact type) is completely determined by its Iwasawa subalgebra. Furthermore, we produce an algebraic procedure…

We suggest a method of constructing special nonunitary representations of semisimple Lie groups using representations of Iwasawa subgroups. As a typical example, we study the group $U(2,2)$.

We give necessary conditions for the existence of degenerations between two complex Lie superalgebras of dimension $(m,n)$. As an application, we study the variety $\mathcal{LS}^{(2,2)}$ of complex Lie superalgebras of dimension $(2,2)$.…

We discuss models of the G\"odel Universe as Lie groups with left-invariant Lorentz metric for two simply connected four-dimensional Lie groups, the Iwasawa decomposition for semisimple Lie groups, and left-invariant Lorentz metric on ${\rm…

We factorize harmonic maps with values in a semisimple Lie groups in a product of harmonic maps with values in the components of the Iwasawa decomposition. In particular, we use this factorization to study the harmonic maps from…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a basic simple Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and $\theta$ an involution of $\mathfrak{g}$ preserving a nondegenerate invariant form. We prove that either $\theta$ or…

We discuss the Iwasawa-decomposition of a general matrix in SL($n$, $\mathbb{Q}_p$) and SL($n$, $\mathbb{R}$). For SL($n$, $\mathbb{Q}_p$) we define an algorithm for computing a complete Iwasawa-decomposition and give a formula…

Iwasawa algebras of compact $p$-adic Lie groups are completed group algebras with applications in number theory in studying class numbers of towers of number fields and representation theory of $p$-adic Lie groups. In our earlier work, we…

There are two well-known ways of describing elements of the rotation group SO$(m)$. First, according to the Cartan-Dieudonn\'e theorem, every rotation matrix can be written as an even number of reflections. And second, they can also be…
