We develop the foundations of the theory of relatively geometric actions of relatively hyperbolic groups on CAT(0) cube complexes, a notion introduced in our previous work [5]. In the relatively geometric setting we prove: full relatively…

We prove that any connected 2-compact group is classified by its 2-adic root datum, and in particular the exotic 2-compact group DI(4), constructed by Dwyer-Wilkerson, is the only simple 2-compact group not arising as the 2-completion of a…

We present here two detailed examples of additive categorifications of the cluster algebra structure of a coordinate ring of a maximal unipotent subgroup of a simple Lie group. The first one is of simply-laced type ($A_3$) and relies on an…

In this paper, we establish that complete Kac-Moody groups over finite fields are abstractly simple. The proof makes an essential use of Mathieu-Rousseau's construction of complete Kac-Moody groups over fields. This construction has the…

We show that in every dimension greater than or equal to 4, there exist compact Kaehler manifolds which do not have the homotopy type of projective complex manifolds. Thus they a fortiori are not deformation equivalent to a projective…

We examine subgroups of locally compact groups that are continuous homomorphic images of connected Lie groups and we give a criterion for being such an image. We also provide a new characterisation of Lie groups and a characterisation of…

Let $G$ be a (non compact) connected simply connected locally compact second countable Lie group, either abelian or unimodular of type I, and $\rho$ an irreducible unitary representation of $G$. Then, we define the analytic torsion of $G$…

Let $G$ be a locally compact Hausdorff group. We study orbit spaces of equivariant absolute neighborhood extensors ($G$-${\rm ANE}$'s) for the class of all proper $G$-spaces that are metrizable by a $G$-invariant metric. We prove that if a…

This note consists of three unrelated remarks. First, we demonstrate how roughly speaking $*$-homomorphisms between matrix stable $C^*$-algebras are exactly the uniformly continuous $*$-preserving group homomorphisms between their genral…

We prove that a Hausdorff locally compact semitopological bicyclic semigroup with adjoined zero $\mathscr{C}^0$ is either compact or discrete. Also we show that the similar statement holds for a locally compact semitopological bicyclic…

We prove that if a connected and simply connected Lie group $G$ admits connected closed normal subgroups $G_1\subseteq G_2\subseteq \cdots \subseteq G_m=G$ with $\dim G_j=j$ for $j=1,\dots,m$, then its group $C^*$-algebra has closed…

A p-compact group is a mod p homotopy theoretical analogue of a compact Lie group. It is determined the homotopy nilpotency class of a p-compact group having the homotopy type of the $p$-completion of the direct product of spheres.

The $p$-local homotopy types of gauge groups of principal $G$-bundles over $S^4$ are classified when $G$ is a compact connected exceptional Lie group without $p$-torsion in homology except for $(G,p)=(\mathrm{E}_7,5)$.

We construct a smooth Lie group structure on the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms of a compact analytic manifold with corners. This generalises the known analogous results in the situation where the real analytic manifold has no…

We show that a compact representation of a semisimple Lie group has an orthogonal decomposition into finite length representations. This generalises and simplifies a number of more special spectral theorems in the literature. We apply it to…

A central extension of the loop group of a Lie group is called transgressive, if it corresponds under transgression to a degree four class in the cohomology of the classifying space of the Lie group. Transgressive loop group extensions are…

Absolute algebras are a new type of algebraic structures, endowed with a meaningful notion of infinite sums of operations without supposing any underlying topology. Opposite to the usual definition of operadic calculus, they are defined as…

We construct a central Lie group extension for the Lie group of compactly supported sections of a Lie group bundle over a sigma-compact base manifold. This generalises a result of the paper "Central extensions of groups of sections" by Neeb…

We describe the structure of Hausdorff locally compact semitopological $0$-bisimple inverse $\omega$-semigroups with compact maximal subgroups. In particular, we show that a Hausdorff locally compact semitopological $0$-bisimple inverse…

This is a survey of the recent development of the study of topological full groups of etale groupoids on the Cantor set. Etale groupoids arise from dynamical systems, e.g. actions of countable discrete groups, equivalence relations. Minimal…
