If $G$ is a nilpotent group with a balanced presentation and $G\not\cong\mathbb{Z}^3$ then $\beta_1(G;\mathbb{Q})\leq2$ \cite{Hi22}. We show that if such a group $G$ has an abelian normal subgroup $A$ such that $G/A\cong\mathbb{Z}^2$ then…

Given a finite, connected 2-complex $X$ such that $b_2(X)\le1$ we establish two existence results for representations of the fundamental group of $X$ into compact connected Lie groups $G$, with prescribed values on certain loops. If…

We study the subgroup B_0(G) of H^2(G,Q/Z) consisting of all elements which have trivial restrictions to every Abelian subgroup of G. The group B_0(G) serves as the simplest nontrivial obstruction to stable rationality of algebraic…

Let $X$ be a complete variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero, equipped with an action of an algebraic group $G$. Let $H$ be a reductive group. We study the notion of $G$-connection on a principal $H$-bundle.…

In a joint work with N. Mok in 1997, we proved that for an irreducible representation $G \subset {\bf GL}(V),$ if a holomorphic $G$-structure exists on a uniruled projective manifold, then the Lie algebra of $G$ has nonzero prolongation. We…

We prove that a group homomorphism $\varphi\colon L\to G$ from a locally compact Hausdorff group $L$ into a discrete group $G$ either is continuous, or there exists a normal open subgroup $N\subseteq L$ such that $\varphi(N)$ is a torsion…

The rank rk(G) of a profinite group G is the supremum of d(H), where H ranges over all closed subgroups of G and d(H) denotes the minimal cardinality of a topological generating set for H. A compact topological group G admits the structure…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over $K$. We address the problem of classifying triples $(G,H,V)$, where $H$ is a proper connected subgroup of $G$, and…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of adjoint type over $\mathbb C$, and let $M$ be the wonderful compactification of a symmetric space $G/H$. Take a $\widetilde G$--equivariant principal $R$--bundle $E$ on $M$, where $R$ is a complex…

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…

Let G be a Lie group over a local field of positive characteristic which admits a contractive automorphism f (i.e., the forward iterates f^n(x) of each group element x converge to the neutral element 1). We show that then G is a torsion…

Using the wonderful compactification of a semisimple adjoint affine algebraic group G defined over an algebraically closed field k of arbitrary characteristic, we construct a natural compactification Y of the G-character variety of any…

In the present paper we study abelian extensions of connected Lie groups $G$ modeled on locally convex spaces by smooth $G$-modules $A$. We parametrize the extension classes by a suitable cohomology group $H^2_s(G,A)$ defined by locally…

Let L be a Lie group and Lambda a lattice in L. Suppose G is a non-compact simple Lie group realized as a Lie subgroup of L, and the image of G on L/Lambda is dense. Let c be a diagonalizable element of G not contained in a compact…

We establish some general principles and find some counter-examples concerning the Pontryagin reflexivity of precompact groups and P-groups. We prove in particular that: (1) A precompact Abelian group G of bounded order is reflexive iff the…

We study homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds $M = G/L$ of a connected reductive Lie group $G$ modulo a connected reductive subgroup $L$, under the assumption that $M$ is (almost) $G$-effective and the isotropy representation is totally…

Let $K$ be a field, let $X$ be a connected smooth $K$-scheme and let $G,H$ be two smooth connected $K$-group schemes. Given $Y \to X$ a $G$-torsor and $Z \to Y$ an $H$-torsor, we study whether one can find an extension $E$ of $G$ by $H$ so…

In this article we give sufficient conditions for a group to have simple derived subgroup; the argument is based on generalising properties observed for extremely proximal micro-supported actions on the Cantor space, and generalises…

A group, $\fl{H}$, of automorphisms of a totally disconnected locally compact group, $G$, is flat if there is a compact open $U\leq G$ such that the index $[\alpha(U):U\cap \alpha(U)]$ is mininimized for every $\alpha\in\fl{H}$. The…

Let $G$ be a real, reductive algebraic group, and let $X$ be a homogeneous space for $G$ with a non-zero invariant density. We give an explicit description of a Zariski open, dense subset of the asymptotics of the tempered support of…
