We study quadratic, volume preserving diffeomorphisms whose inverse is also quadratic. Such maps generalize the Henon area preserving map and the family of symplectic quadratic maps studied by Moser. In particular, we investigate a family…

In this note we prove that the Heisenberg group with a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric admits a completely integrable totally geodesic distribution of codimension 1. This is on the contrary to the Riemannian case, as it was proved…

We show that there is an infinite group of special automorphisms of the deformed group of diffeomorphisms, which describes parallel transports in Riemannian spaces of any variable curvature. Generators of translations of such group contain…

We find robust obstructions to representing a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism as a full $k$-th power, $k \geq 2,$ and in particular, to including it into a one-parameter subgroup. The robustness is understood in the sense of Hofer's metric. Our…

We study the role that Hamiltonian and symplectic diffeomorphisms play in the deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds. We prove that the action by Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms corresponds to the gauge-action of the $L_\infty$-algebra…

Let G be a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant semi-Riemannian metric. Let K be a semisimple subgroup of G generating a left-invariant conformal foliation F of codimension two on G. We then show that the foliation F is minimal. This…

We show that a simply connected Riemannian homogeneous space M which admits a totally geodesic hypersurface F is isometric to either (a) the Riemannian product of a space of constant curvature and a homogeneous space, or (b) the warped…

Shub & Wilkinson and Ruelle & Wilkinson studied a class of volume preserving diffeomorphisms on the three dimensional torus that are stably ergodic. The diffeomorphisms are partially hyperbolic and admit an invariant central foliation of…

In this notes, we characterize discrete subgroups of PU(2,1), holomorphic isometric group of complex hyperbolic space, which have an invariant totally geodesic submanifold.

This book offers an introduction to Hofer's metric on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. It presents results on the diameter, geodesics, and the growth of one-parameter subgroups, along with applications to dynamics and ergodic…

We construct 4-dimensional Riemannian Lie groups carrying left-invariant conformal foliations with minimal leaves of codimension 2. We show that these foliations are holomorphic with respect to an (integrable) Hermitian structure which is…

As a generalization of holomorphic submersions, anti-invariant submersions and slant submersions, we introduce slant Riemannian maps from almost Hermitian manifolds to Riemannian manifolds. We give examples, obtain the existence conditions…

Let $E$ be a finite-dimensional real vector space and $M\subseteq E$ be a convex polytope with non-empty interior. We turn the group of all $C^\infty$-diffeomorphisms of $M$ into a regular Lie group.

If G is a (connected) complex Lie Group and Z is a generalized flag manifold for G, the the open orbits D of a (connected) real form G_0 of G form an interesting class of complex homogeneous spaces, which play an important role in the…

Let $X$ be a smooth compact connected manifold. Let $G=\mbox{Diff}\, X$ be the group of diffeomorphisms of $X$, equipped with the $C^\infty$-topology, and let $H$ be the stabilizer of some point in $X$. Then the inclusion $H\to G$, which is…

A bi-invariant differential 2-form on a Lie group G is a highly constrained object, being determined by purely linear data: an Ad-invariant alternating bilinear form on the Lie algebra of G. On a compact connected Lie group these have an…

For any symplectic manifold, Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group contains a subset which consists of times one flows of autonomous(time-independent) Hamiltonian vector fields. Polterovich and Shelukhin proved that the complement of autonomous…

We generalize the concept of sub-Riemannian geometry to infinite-dimensional manifolds modeled on convenient vector spaces. On a sub-Riemannian manifold $M$, the metric is defined only on a sub-bundle $\calH$ of the tangent bundle $TM$,…

In this paper, we discuss the decomposition of a Lie group with a left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric and the uniqueness. In fact, it is a decomposition of a Lie group into totally geodesic sub-manifolds which is different from the De…

In this paper, we prove the Novikov conjecture for a class of highly non-linear groups, namely discrete subgroups of the diffeomorphism group of a compact smooth manifold. This removes the volume-preserving condition in a previous work.…
