In this expository article, we describe the classification of the subalgebras of the rank 2 semisimple Lie algebras. Their semisimple subalgebras are well-known, and in a recent series of papers, we completed the classification of the…

We provide characterizations of Lie groups as compact-like groups in which all closed zero-dimensional metric (compact) subgroups are discrete. The "compact-like" properties we consider include (local) compactness, (local)…

We describe the group of continuous automorphisms of all simple infinite-dimensional linearly compact Lie superalgebras and use it in order to classify F-forms of these superalgebras over any field F of characteristic zero.

Let $X$ be a closed smooth manifold, $G$ be a simple connected compact real Lie group, $M (G)$ be the group of all smooth maps from $X$ to $G$, and $M_0 (G)$ be its connected component for the $\mathcal C^\infty$-compact open topology. It…

We initiate a systematic study of the perfection of affine group schemes of finite type over fields of positive characteristic. The main result intrinsically characterises and classifies the perfections of reductive groups, and obtains a…

We study ergodic invariant random subgroups that give full measure to the subset of compact subgroups. We show that in real Lie groups, compactly generated $p$-adic Lie groups, locally compact hyperbolic groups and infinitely ended groups…

We show that the categories of compact Lie groups and complex reductive groups (not necessarily connected) are homotopy equivalent topological categories. In other words, the corresponding categories enriched in the homotopy category of…

A pointwise-elliptic subset of a topological group is one whose elements all generate relatively-compact subgroups. A connected locally compact group has a dense pointwise-elliptic subgroup if and only if it is an extension by a compact…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. This paper continues a long-standing effort to classify the connected reductive subgroups of $G$. Having previously…

A generalized Euler parameterization of a compact Lie group is a way for parameterizing the group starting from a maximal Lie subgroup, which allows a simple characterization of the range of parameters. In the present paper we consider the…

We study locally compact group topologies on semisimple Lie groups. We show that the Lie group topology on such a group $S$ is very rigid: every 'abstract' isomorphism between $S$ and a locally compact and $\sigma$-compact group $\Gamma$ is…

This paper is a continuation of [5]. Using the root categories, we define the compact real forms of the complex semisimple Lie algebras, and maximal compact subgroups of the Chevalley groups over $\mathbb{C}$. In [7], Lusztig used the…

The automorphism group $\Sigma$ of a compact topological projective plane with a $16$-dimensional point space is a locally compact group. If the dimension of $\Sigma$ is at least $29$, then $\Sigma$ is known to be a Lie group. For the…
