AbstractLet Γ be a dense subgroup of a simply connected nilpotent Lie group G generated by a finite symmetric set S. We consider the n-ball Sn for the word metric induced by S on Γ. We show that Sn (with uniform measure) becomes equidistributed on G with respect to the Haar measure as n tends to infinity. We also prove the analogous result for random walk averages.

AbstractWe formulate and prove two versions of Miyachi’s theorem for connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie groups. This allows us to prove the sharpness of the constant 1/4 in the theorems of Hardy and of Cowling and Price for any nilpotent Lie group. These theorems are proved using a variant of Miyachi’s theorem for the group Fourier transform.

Abstract We define solitons for the generalized Ricci flow on an exact Courant algebroid. We then define a family of flows for left-invariant Dorfman brackets on an exact Courant algebroid over a simply connected nilpotent Lie group, generalizing the bracket flows for nilpotent Lie brackets in a way that might make this new family of flows useful for the study of generalized geometric flows such as the generalized Ricci flow. We provide explicit examples of both constructions on the Heisenberg group. We also discuss solutions to the generalized Ricci flow on the Heisenberg group.

Criterion for proper actions has been established for a homogeneous space of reductive type by Kobayashi (Math. Ann. 1989, 1996). On the other hand, an analogous criterion to Kobayashi’s equivalent conditions was proposed by Lipsman (1995) for a nilpotent Lie group . Lipsman's Conjecture: Let  be a simply connected nilpotent Lie group. Then the following two conditions on connected subgroups  and  are equivalent: (i) the action of  on  is proper; (ii)  is compact for any  The condition (i) is important in the study of discontinuous groups for the homogeneous space , while the second condition (ii) can easily be checked. The implication (i)  (ii) is obvious, and the opposite implication (ii)  (i) was known only in some lower dimensional cases. In this paper we prove the equivalence (i) ? (ii) for certain affine nilpotent Lie groups .

AbstractWe show that for a locally free $C^{\infty }$-action of a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group on a compact manifold, if every real-valued cocycle is cohomologous to a constant cocycle, then the action is parameter rigid. The converse is true if the action has a dense orbit. Using this, we construct parameter rigid actions of simply connected nilpotent Lie groups whose Lie algebras admit rational structures with graduations. This generalizes the results of dos Santos [Parameter rigid actions of the Heisenberg groups. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.27(2007), 1719–1735] concerning the Heisenberg groups.

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.

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.

AbstractThis is partly an expository paper, where the authors’ work on pseudoriemannian Einstein metrics on nilpotent Lie groups is reviewed. A new criterion is given for the existence of a diagonal Einstein metric on a nice nilpotent Lie group. Classifications of special classes of Ricci-˛at metrics on nilpotent Lie groups of dimension [eight.tf] are obtained. Some related open questions are presented.

Abstract For a locally compact group G, we study the distality of the action of automorphisms T of G on Sub G , the compact space of closed subgroups of G endowed with the Chabauty topology. For a certain class of discrete groups G, we show that T acts distally on Sub G if and only if T n is the identity map for some $n\in\mathbb N$ . As an application, we get that for a T-invariant lattice Γ in a simply connected nilpotent Lie group G, T acts distally on Sub G if and only if it acts distally on SubΓ. This also holds for any closed T-invariant co-compact subgroup Γ in G. For a lattice Γ in a simply connected solvable Lie group, we study conditions under which its automorphisms act distally on SubΓ. We construct an example highlighting the difference between the behaviour of automorphisms on a lattice in a solvable Lie group and that in a nilpotent Lie group. We also characterise automorphisms of a lattice Γ in a connected semisimple Lie group which act distally on SubΓ. For torsion-free compactly generated nilpotent (metrisable) groups G, we obtain the following characterisation: T acts distally on Sub G if and only if T is contained in a compact subgroup of Aut(G). Using these results, we characterise the class of such groups G which act distally on Sub G . We also show that any compactly generated distal group G is Lie projective.
