We show that for topological groups and loop contractible coefficients the cohomology groups of continuous group cochains and of group cochains that are continuous on some identity neighbourhood are isomorphic. Moreover, we show a similar…

We study the isometry groups of (non-compact) Lorentzian manifolds with well-behaved causal structure, aka causal spacetimes satisfying the ``no observer horizons'' condition. Our main result is that the group of time orientation-preserving…

We show that simply connected Riemannian homogeneous spaces of compact semisimple Lie groups with polar isotropy actions are symmetric, generalizing results of Fabio Podesta and the third named author. Without assuming compactness, we give…

We establish a geometric quantization formula for a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group acting on a noncompact symplectic manifold with proper moment map.

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group with $\pi_1(G)\cong\mathbb{Z}$. We study the homotopy types of gauge groups of principal $G$-bundles over Riemann surfaces. This can be applied to an explicit computation of the homotopy groups of…

We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also…

We develop a general structure theory for compact homogeneous Riemannian manifolds in relation to the co-index of symmetry. We will then use these results to classify irreducible, simply connected, compact homogeneous Riemannian manifolds…

The aim of this work is the study of geodesics on Lorentzian homogeneous spaces of the form $M=G/\Lambda$, where $G$ is a solvable Lie group endowed with a bi-invariant Lorentzian metric and $\Lambda < G$ is a cocompact lattice. Conditions…

We discuss groups corresponding to Kohno Lie algebra of infinitesimal braids and actions of such groups. We construct homomorphisms of Lie braid groups to the group of symplectomorphisms of the space of point configurations in $R^3$ and to…

The methods of Information geometry have been glowing up to develop various subjects of theoretical physics, including quantum information systems. The present article has two purposes. The first one is to develop general theory of…

We classify connected Lie groups which are locally isomorphic to generalized Heisenberg groups. For a given generalized Heisenberg group $N$, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of isomorphism classes of connected Lie…

Compact flat surfaces of homogeneous Riemannian 3-manifolds with isometry group of dimension 4 are classified. Non-existence results for compact constant Gauss curvature surfaces in these 3-manifolds are established.

We investigate the existence of homotopy comoment maps (comoments) for high-dimensional spheres seen as multisymplectic manifolds. Especially, we solve the existence problem for compact effective group actions on spheres and provide…

Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group…

We obtain structure results for locally conformally symplectic Lie algebras. We classify locally conformally symplectic structures on four-dimensional Lie algebras and construct locally conformally symplectic structures on compact quotients…

We describe in parallel the Lorentzian homogeneous spaces $G=\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{psl}(2,\mathbb{R})$, and review some recent results relating the geometry of their quotients by discrete groups.

We construct classifying spaces for discrete and compact Lie groups, with the property that they are topological groups and complete metric spaces in a natural way. We sketch a program in view of extending these constructions.

We study isometric actions of compact Lie groups on complete orientable positively curved $n$-manifolds whose orbit spaces have non-empty boundary in the sense of Alexandrov geometry. In particular, we classify quotients of the unit sphere…

Results of Liflyand and collaborators on the boundedness of Hausdorff operators on the Hardy space $H^1$ over finite-dimensional real space generalized to the case of locally compact groups that are spaces of homogeneous type. Special cases…

We consider homogeneous spaces of Lie groups with compact stabilizer subgroups of two types: those with integrable invariant distributions and those with geodesic orbit invariant Riemannian metrics. The latter means that for an arbitrary…
