SupposeGis a connected, complex, nilpotent Lie group and Γ is a discrete subgroup ofGsuch thatG/Γ is Kähler and the top nonvanishing homology group ofG/Γ (with coefficients in ℤ2) is in codimension two or less. We show thatGis then Abelian. We also note that an example from [12] shows that this fails if the top nonvanishing homology is in codimension three.

Recently A, Malcev has shown that the homogeneous space of a connected nilpotent Lie group G is the direct product of a compact space and an Euclidean-space and that the compact space of this direct decomposition is also a homogeneous space of a connected subgroup of G. Any compact homogeneous space M of a connected nilpotent Lie group is of the form where is a connected simply connected nilpotent group whose structure constants are rational numbers in a suitable coordinate system and D is a discrete subgroup of G.

AbstractDefine dx to be the codimension of the top nonvanishing homology group of the manifold X with coefficients in 2. We investigate homogeneous spaces X := G/H, where G is a connected complex Lie group and H is a closed complex subgroup for which dx = 1,2 and O(X) ≠ ℂ. There exists a fibration π: G/H → G/U such that G/U is holomorphically separable and π*(O(G/U)) = O(G/H), see [11]. We prove the following. If dx = 1, then F := U/H is compact and connected and Y :=G/U is an affine cone with its vertex removed. If dx = 2, then either F is connected with dF = 1 and Y is an affine cone with its vertex removed, or F is compact and connected and dy = 2, where Y is ℂ, the affine quadric Q2, ℙ2 — Q (with Q a quadric curve) or a homogeneous holomorphic * -bundle over an affine cone minus its vertex which is itself an algebraic principal bundle or which admits a two-to-one covering that is.

Let G be a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group, H and K be connected subgroups of G. We show in this paper that the action of K on X = G/H is proper if and only if the triple (G,H,K) has the compact intersection property in both cases where G is at most three-step and where G is special, extending then earlier cases. The result is also proved for exponential homogeneous space on which acts a maximal subgroup.

AbstractIn this paper we give an explicit formula for the flag curvature of homogeneous Randers spaces of Douglas type and apply this formula to obtain some interesting results. We first deduce an explicit formula for the flag curvature of an arbitrary left invariant Randersmetric on a two-step nilpotent Lie group. Then we obtain a classification of negatively curved homogeneous Randers spaces of Douglas type. This results, in particular, in many examples of homogeneous non-Riemannian Finsler spaces with negative flag curvature. Finally, we prove a rigidity result that a homogeneous Randers space of Berwald type whose flag curvature is everywhere nonzero must be Riemannian.

AbstractA complex nilmanifold X is isomorphic to a product X ⋍ ℂp x N/┌, where N is a simply connected nilpotent complex Lie group and ┌ is a discrete subgroup of N not contained in a proper connected complex subgroup of N. The pair (N, ┌) is uniquely determined up to holomorphic group isomorphisms.

Affirmative Solution

For a nilpotent Lie group G and its closed subgroup L, Lipsman [13] conjectured that the L-action on some homogeneous space of G is proper in the sense of Palais if and only if the action is free. Nasrin [14] proved this conjecture assuming that G is a 2-step nilpotent Lie group. However, Lipsman's conjecture fails for the 4-step nilpotent case. This paper gives an affirmative solution to Lipsman's conjecture for the 3-step nilpotent case.

A certain nilpotent Lie group plays an important role in the study of the foundations of quantum mechanics ([Wey]) and of the theory of theta series (see [C], [I] and [Wei]). This work shows how theta series are applied to decompose the natural unitary representation of a Heisenberg group.
