The investigation of symmetries of b-symplectic manifolds and folded-symplectic manifolds is well-understood when the group under consideration is a torus (see, for instance, [GMPS,GLPR, GMW18a] for b-symplectic manifolds and [CGP, CM] for…

We determine the fundamental groups of symmetrizable algebraically simply connected split real Kac-Moody groups endowed with the Kac-Peterson topology. In analogy to the finite-dimensional situation, the Iwasawa decomposition $G = KAU_+$…

We generalize Cartan's logarithmic derivative of a smooth map from a manifold into a Lie group $G$ to smooth maps into a homogeneous space $M=G/H$, and determine the global monodromy obstruction to reconstructing such maps from…

A harmonic map from a Riemannian manifold into a Grassmannian manifold is characterized by a vector bundle, a space of sections of this bundle and a Laplace operator. We apply our main theorem, itself a generalization of a Theorem of…

We study the monodromy map for logarithmic $\mathfrak g$-differential systems over an oriented surface $S_0$ of genus $g$, with $\mathfrak g$ being the Lie algebra of a complex reductive affine algebraic group $G$. These logarithmic…

Given a finite-dimensional, complex simple Lie algebra we exhibit an integral form for the universal enveloping algebra of its map algebra, and an explicit integral basis for this integral form. We also produce explicit commutation formulas…

The assumption in the main result of [Peter W. Michor: Basic Differential Forms for Actions of Lie Groups, Proc. AMS 124, 5 (1996) 1633-1642] is removed. Thus: A section of a Riemannian $G$-manifold $M$ is a closed submanifold $\Si$ which…

We enlarge the spectral problem of a generalized D-Kaup-Newell (D-KN) spectral problem. Solving the enlarged zero-curvature equations, we produce integrable couplings. A reduction of the spectral matrix leads to a second integrable coupling…

Given a $G$-toric, folded-symplectic manifold with co-orientable folding hypersurface, we show that its orbit space is naturally a manifold with corners $W$ equipped with a smooth map $\psi: W \to \frak{g}^*$, where $\frak{g}^*$ is the dual…

Diffeological and differential spaces are generalisations of smooth structures on manifolds. We show that the "intersection" of these two categories is isomorphic to Fr\"olicher spaces, another generalisation of smooth structures. We then…

As a higher dimensional version of the theory of Morse functions, there have been various studies of smooth manifolds using generic smooth maps. As fundamental results, in these studies, they have found that inverse images of such maps…
