This paper deals with affine connections on real manifolds. We give a new characterization of flat affine connections on real manifolds by means of certain affine representations of the Lie group of automorphisms preserving the connection.…
We obtain a characterization of the real Lie algebras admitting abelian complex structures in terms of certain affine Lie algebras $\frak a \frak f \frak f (A)$, where $A$ is a commutative algebra. These affine Lie algebras are natural…
Let G be a Lie group with Lie algebra $ \Cal G: = T_\epsilon G$ and $T^*G = \Cal G^* \rtimes G$ its cotangent bundle considered as a Lie group, where G acts on $\Cal G^*$ via the coadjoint action. We show that there is a 1-1 correspondance…
We prove that any real Lie group of dimension \leq 5 admits a left invariant flat projective structure. We also prove that a real Lie group L of dimension \leq 5 admits a left invariant flat affine structure if and only if the Lie algebra…
We prove that for any known Lie algebra $\frak{g}$ having none invariants for the coadjoint representation, the absence of invariants is equivalent to the existence of a left invariant exact symplectic structure on the corresponding Lie…
In this paper, we shall use a method based on the theory of extensions of left-symmetric algebras to classify complete left-invariant affine real structures on solvable non-unimodular three-dimensional Lie groups.
The goal of this paper is to provide a method, based on the theory of extensions of left-symmetric algebras, for classifying left-invariant affine structures on a given solvable Lie group of low dimension. To better illustrate our method,…
We discuss locally simply transitive affine actions of Lie groups G on finite-dimensional vector spaces such that the commutator subgroup [G,G] is acting by translations. In other words, we consider left-symmetric algebras satisfying the…
We say that an indecomposable Cartan matrix A with entries in the ground field of characteristic 0 is almost affine if the Lie sub(super)algebra determined by it is not finite dimensional or affine but the Lie (super)algebra determined by…
We classify the cohomology spaces $H^2(\mathfrak{g},K)$ for all filiform nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension $n\le 11$ over $K$ and for certain classes of algebras of dimension $n\ge 12$. The result is applied to the determination of affine…
Let $G=H\ltimes K$ denote a semidirect product Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak h \oplus \mathfrak k$, where $\mathfrak k$ is an ideal and $\mathfrak h$ is a subalgebra of the same dimension as $\mathfrak k$. There exist…
A special symplectic Lie group is a triple $(G,\omega,\nabla)$ such that $G$ is a finite-dimensional real Lie group and $\omega$ is a left invariant symplectic form on $G$ which is parallel with respect to a left invariant affine structure…
Dekimpe and Ongenae constructed infinitely many pairwise non-isomorphic complete left-symmetric structures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n\geq 6$. In this paper, we construct a family of complete left-symmetric structures on the cotangent Lie…
We investigate the existence of left-invariant closed G$_2$-structures on seven-dimensional non-solvable Lie groups, providing the first examples of this type. When the Lie algebra has trivial Levi decomposition, we show that such a…
It is shown that any Lie affgebra, that is an algebraic system consisting of an affine space together with a bi-affine bracket satisfying affine versions of the antisymmetry and Jacobi identity, is isomorphic to a Lie algebra together with…
Let $\frak g$ be the finite dimensional simple Lie algebra associated to an indecomposable and symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix $C=(a_{ij})_{n\times n}$ of finite type and let $\frak d$ be a finite dimensional Lie algebra related to…
In the present note we suggest an affinization of a theorem by Kostrikin et.al. about the decomposition of some complex simple Lie algebras ${\cal G}$ into the algebraic sum of pairwise orthogonal Cartan subalgebras. We point out that the…
A study is made of left-invariant $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures with an exact 3-form on a Lie group $G$ whose Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ admits a codimension-one nilpotent ideal $\mathfrak{h}$. It is shown that such a Lie group $G$ cannot admit…
We investigate left-invariant ${\rm G}_2^*$-structures on 7-dimensional Lie groups, focusing on those whose holonomy algebras are indecomposable and of type III, the latter meaning that the socle of the holonomy representation is maximal.…
An LR-structure on a Lie algebra is a bilinear product, satisfying certain commutativity relations, and which is compatible with the Lie product. LR-structures arise in the study of simply transitive affine actions on Lie groups. In…
