Let G be a compact, simply-connected, simple Lie group and T ⊂ G a maximal torus. The purpose of this paper is to study the connection between various fibrations over BG (where G is a compact, simply-connected, simple Lie group) associated to the adjoint representation and homotopy colimits over poset categories [Cscr ], hocolim[Cscr ]BGI where GI are certain connected maximal rank subgroups of G.

AbstractLet G be a compact, simple, simply connected Lie group. The Lp-norm of a central trigonometric polynomial reduces naturally to a weighted Lp-norm of a trigonometric polynomial on a maximal torus T. The weight is | Δ |2-p, where Δ is the usual Weyl function. If p ≥ 2, we prove that | Δ |2-p satisfies Muckenhoupt's Ap condition if and only if the Lp-norms of the irreducible characters of G are uniformly bounded.

AbstractLet G be a second countable locally compact group possessing a normal subgroup N with G/N abelian. We prove that if G/N is discrete then G has T1 primitive ideal space if and only if the G-quasiorbits in Prim N are closed. This condition on G-quasiorbits arose in Pukanzky's work on connected and simply connected solvable Lie groups where it is equivalent to the condition of Auslander and Moore that G be type R on N (-nilradical). Using an abstract version of Pukanzky's arguments due to Green and Pedersen we establish that if G is a connected and simply connected Lie group then Prim G is T1 whenever G-quasiorbits in [G, G] are closed.

General Method

Abstract In this paper we introduce the notion of complex isoparametric functions on Riemannian manifolds. These are then employed to devise a general method for constructing proper r-harmonic functions. We then apply this to construct the first known explicit proper r-harmonic functions on the Lie group semidirect products $${{\mathbb {R}}}^m \ltimes {{\mathbb {R}}}^n$$ R m ⋉ R n and $${{\mathbb {R}}}^m \ltimes \mathrm {H}^{2n+1}$$ R m ⋉ H 2 n + 1 , where $$\mathrm {H}^{2n+1}$$ H 2 n + 1 denotes the classical $$(2n+1)$$ ( 2 n + 1 ) -dimensional Heisenberg group. In particular, we construct such examples on all the simply connected irreducible four-dimensional Lie groups.

Integrable complex structures on indecomposable 6-dimensional nilpotent real Lie algebras have been computed in a previous paper, along with normal forms for representatives of the various equivalence classes under the action of the automorphism group. Here we go to the connected simply connected Lie group G0 associated to such a Lie algebra 𝔤. For each normal form J of integrable complex structures on 𝔤, we consider the left invariant complex manifold G = (G0, J) associated to G0 and J. We explicitly compute a global holomorphic chart for G and we write down the multiplication in that chart.

In [4] Elmer Rees proves that the symplectic group Sp(n) can be smoothly embedded in Euclidean space with codimension 3n, and the unitary group U(n) with codimension n. These are special cases of a result he obtains for a compact connected Lie group G. The general technique is first to embed G/T, where T is a maximal torus, as a maximal orbit of the adjoint representation of G, and then to extendto an embedding of G by using a maximal orbit of a faithful representation of G. In thisnote, we observe that in the cases G = Sp(n) or SU(n) an improved result is obtained byusing the “symplectic torus” S3 x … x S3 in place of T = S1 x … x S1. As in Rees's construction, the normal bundle of the embedding of G is trivial.

AbstractLet G be a simple, compact, simply-connected Lie group localized at an odd prime p. We study the group of homotopy classes of self-maps [G, G] when the rank of G is low and in certain cases describe the set of homotopy classes ofmultiplicative self-maps H[G, G]. The low rank condition gives G certain structural properties which make calculations accessible. Several examples and applications are given.

Any compact, connected Lie group which acts effectively on a closed aspherical manifold is a torus Tk with k ≤ rank of [Formula: see text], the center of π1 (M). When [Formula: see text], the torus action is called a maximal torus action. The authors have previously shown that many closed aspherical manifolds admit maximal torus actions. In this paper, a smooth maximal torus action is constructed on each solvmanifold. They also construct smooth maximal torus actions on some double coset spaces of general Lie groups as applications.

Let G be a connected compact Lie group, and let M be a connected Hamiltonian G-manifold with equivariant moment map ϕ. We prove that if there is a simply connected orbit G ⋅ x, then π1(M) ≅ π1(M/G); if additionally ϕ is proper, then π1(M) ≅ π1 (ϕ-1(G⋅a)), where a = ϕ(x). We also prove that if a maximal torus of G has a fixed point x, then π1(M) ≅ π1(M/K), where K is any connected subgroup of G; if additionally ϕ is proper, then π1(M) ≅ π1(ϕ-1(G⋅a)) ≅ π1(ϕ-1(a)), where a = ϕ(x). Furthermore, we prove that if ϕ is proper, then [Formula: see text] for all a ∈ ϕ(M), where [Formula: see text] is any connected subgroup of G which contains the identity component of each stabilizer group; in particular, π1(M/G) ≅ π1(ϕ-1(G⋅a)/G) for all a ∈ ϕ(M).

AbstractWe define stacky Lie groups to be group objects in the 2-category of differentiable stacks. We show that every connected and étale stacky Lie group is equivalent to a crossed module of the form (Γ,G) where Γ is the fundamental group of the given stacky Lie group and G is the connected and simply connected Lie group integrating the Lie algebra of the stacky group. Our result is closely related to a strictification result of Baez and Lauda.
