We find relations between real root decompositions of triples of Lie algebras corresponding to standard compact Clifford-Klein forms, under the assumption that these triples are not Lie algebra decompositions in the sense of Onishchik. This…
In this paper we examine embeddings of alternating groups and symmetric groups into almost simple groups of exceptional type. In particular, we prove that unless the alternating or symmetric group has degree 6 or 7, there is no maximal…
We describe a class (called regular) of invariant generalized complex structures on a real semisimple Lie group G. The problem reduces to the description of admissible pairs (\gk, \omega), where \gk is an appropriate regular subalgebra of…
We consider the natural Lie algebra structure on the (associative) group algebra of a finite group $G$, and show that the Lie subalgebras associated to natural involutive antiautomorphisms of this group algebra are reductive ones. We give a…
Any abstract (not necessarily continuous) group automorphism of a simple, compact Lie group must be continuous due to Cartan (1930) and van der Waerden (1933). The purpose of this paper is to study a similar question in nilpotent Lie…
We define secondary theories and characteristic classes for simplicial smooth manifolds generalizing Karoubi's multiplicative K-theory and multiplicative cohomology groups for smooth manifolds. As a special case we get versions of the…
In this note we give an overview of some of our recent work on Anosov representations of discrete groups into higher rank semisimple Lie groups.
We give very precise bounds for the congruence subgroup growth of arithmetic groups. This allows us to determine the subgroup growth of irreducible lattices of semisimple Lie groups. In the most general case our results depend on the…
We prove results about subshifts with linear (word) complexity, meaning that $\limsup \frac{p(n)}{n} < \infty$, where for every $n$, $p(n)$ is the number of $n$-letter words appearing in sequences in the subshift. Denoting this limsup by…
In this paper, Lie conformal superalgebras of rank (2 + 1) are completely classified (up to isomorphism) and their automorphism groups are determined. Furthermore, we give the classification of the finite irreducible conformal modules over…
We construct smooth actions of arbitrary compact Lie groups on complex projective spaces, such that the corresponding transformations arising from the group action do not preserve any symplectic structure on the complex projective space.
A linear algebraic group G over a field k is called a Cayley group if it admits a Cayley map, i.e., a G-equivariant birational isomorphism over k between the group variety G and the Lie algebra Lie(G). A Cayley map can be thought of as a…
Hilbert--Lie groups are Lie groups whose Lie algebra is a real Hilbert space whose scalar product is invariant under the adjoint action. These infinite-dimensional Lie groups are the closest relatives to compact Lie groups. Here we study…
This paper computes the obstruction to the existence of equivariant extensions of basic gerbes over non-simply connected compact simple Lie groups. By modifying a (finite dimensional) construction of Gaw\c{e}dzki-Reis [J. Geom. Phys.…
Based on an idea in [Gan--Savin, Represent. Theory (2005)], we give a classification of minimal representations of connected simple real Lie groups not of type $A$. Actually, we prove that there exist no new minimal representations up to…
We describe a construction of an algebra over the field of order 2 starting from a conjugacy class of 3-transpositions in a group. In particular, we determine which simple Lie algebras arise by this construction. Among other things, this…
This is a preliminary version of a book on infinite-dimensional Lie groups. It covers the basics of calculus and manifolds in the context of locally convex spaces, based on Bastiani's notion of a smooth map. Starting from this concept, we…
In order to define the complex exceptional Lie groups $ {F_4}^C, {E_6}^C, {E_7}^C, {E_8}^C $ and these compact real forms $ F_4,E_6,E_7,E_8 $, we usually use the Cayley algebra $ \mathfrak{C} $. In the present article, we consider replacing…
This document is the first iteration of an attempt to collate information about small-rank groups of Lie type over small fields, and their representation theory over the defining field. This information is important in the author's work on…
We consider complex manifolds that admit actions by holomorphic transformations of classical simple real Lie groups and classify all such manifolds in a natural situation. Under our assumptions, which require the group at hand to be…
