Let ${\bf H}_{\mathbb C}^n$ be the $n$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space and ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ be the (holomorphic) isometry group. An element $g$ in ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ is called loxodromic or hyperbolic if it has exactly two fixed points on…

Let $Sp(2,1)$ be the isometry group of the quaternionic hyperbolic plane ${{\bf H}_{\mathbb H}}^2$. An element $g$ in $Sp(2,1)$ is `hyperbolic' if it fixes exactly two points on the boundary of ${{\bf H}_{\mathbb H}}^2$. We classify pairs…

Let $G(n)={\rm Sp}(n,1)$ or ${\rm SU}(n,1)$. We classify conjugation orbits of generic pairs of loxodromic elements in $G(n)$. Such pairs, called `non-singular', were introduced by Gongopadhyay and Parsad for ${\rm SU}(3,1)$. We extend this…

We determine the conjugacy classes of semisimple elements in the symplectic groups ${\rm Sp}(2m,F)$, where $F$ is an arbitrary field of characteristic not $2$. This note was originally a letter dated 23 March, 2006, from G.E. Wall to Cheryl…

Let $G$ be a real semisimple Lie group with trivial centre and no compact factors. Given a conjugate pair of either real hyperbolic elements or unipotent elements $a$ and $b$ in $G$ we find a conjugating element $g \in G$ such that…

Let $G$ be a group. An element $g$ in $G$ is called reversible if it is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ within $G$, and called strongly reversible if it is conjugate to its inverse by an order two element of $G$. Let $\textbf{H}_{\mathbb H}^n$ be the…

We classify, up to isometric congruence, the homogeneous hypersurfaces in the Riemannian symmetric spaces $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{H})/\mathrm{Sp}(3), \hspace{1pt} \mathrm{SO}(5,\mathbb{C})/\mathrm{SO}(5),$ and…

We classify the connected Lie subgroups of the symplectic group $Sp(2,\mathbb{R})$ whose elements are matrices in block lower triangular form. The classification is up to conjugation within $Sp(2,\mathbb{R})$. Their study is motivated by…

An important problem in quaternionic hyperbolic geometry is to classify ordered $m$-tuples of pairwise distinct points in the closure of quaternionic hyperbolic n-space, $\overline{{\bf H}_\bh^n}$, up to congruence in the holomorphic…

Let $S$ be a semigroup. The elements $a,b\in S$ are called primarily conjugate if $a=xy$ and $b=yx$ for certain $x,y\in S$. The relation of conjugacy is defined as the transitive closure of the relation of primary conjugacy. In the case…

We study the isometry group of a globally hyperbolic spatially compact Lorentz surface. Such a group acts on the circle, and we show that when the isometry group acts non properly, the subgroups of $\mathrm{Diff}(\mathbb{S}^1)$ obtained are…

Let $\F$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $\V$ be a vector space equipped with a non-degenerate symmetric or symplectic bilinear form $B$ over $\F$. Suppose the characteristic of $\F$ is \emph{large}, i.e. either zero or greater than…

Let $G$ be a group. Two elements $x, y$ are said to be {\it $z$-equivalent} if their centralizers are conjugate in $G$. The class equation of $G$ is the partition of $G$ into conjugacy classes. Further decomposition of conjugacy classes…

Let $\H^{n+1}$ denote the $n + 1$-dimensional (real) hyperbolic space. Let $\s^{n}$ denote the conformal boundary of the hyperbolic space. The group of conformal diffeomorphisms of $\s^n$ is denoted by $M (n)$. Let $M_o (n)$ be its identity…

We consider canonical symplectic structure on the moduli space of flat ${\g}$-connections on a Riemann surface of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points. For ${\g}$ being a semisimple Lie algebra we obtain an explicit efficient formula for this…

Let G be a connected, compact, semisimple Lie group. It is known that for a compact closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ of genus $l >1$, the order of the group $H^2(\Sigma,\pi_1(G))$ is equal to the number of connected components of the…

Let G be a unitary group of a signed-Hermitian form h given over a non-Archimedian local field k of residue characteristic not two. Let V be the vector space on which h is defined. We consider minimal skew-strata, more precisely pairs (b,a)…

A subgroup of $\mathrm{Homeo}_+(\mathbb{S}^1)$ is M\"obius-like if every element is conjugate to an element of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. In general, a M\"obius-like subgroup of $\mathrm{Homeo}_+(\mathbb{S}^1)$ is not necessarily…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple algebraic group and $X$ be a complex symmetric homogeneous $G$-variety. Assume that both $G$, $X$ as well as the $G$-action on $X$ are defined over real numbers. Then $G(\mathbb{R})$ acts on $X(\mathbb{R})$…

The adjoint representations of the Lie algebras of the classical groups SU(n), SO(n), and Sp(n) are, respectively, tensor, antisymmetric, and symmetric products of two vector spaces, and hence are matrix representations. We consider the…
