AbstractA pro-Lie group is a projective limit of a family of finite-dimensional Lie groups. In this paper we show that a pro-Lie group G is a Lie group in the sense that its topology is compatible with a smooth manifold structure for which the group operations are smooth if and only if G is locally contractible. We also characterize the corresponding pro-Lie algebras in various ways. Furthermore, we characterize those pro-Lie groups which are locally exponential, that is, they are Lie groups with a smooth exponential function which maps a zero neighbourhood in the Lie algebra diffeomorphically onto an open identity neighbourhood of the group.

Abstract We study the existence of Lie group structures on groups of the form C k ⁢ ( M , K ) C^{k}(M,K) , where 𝑀 is a non-compact smooth manifold with rough boundary and 𝐾 is a, possibly infinite-dimensional, Lie group. Motivated by introducing this new class of infinite-dimensional Lie groups, we obtain a new version of the fundamental theorem for Lie algebra-valued functions.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a (regular) Hom-Lie group. We associate a Hom-Lie algebra to a Hom-Lie group and show that every regular Hom-Lie algebra is integrable. Then, we define a Hom-exponential (Hexp) map from the Hom-Lie algebra of a Hom-Lie group to the Hom-Lie group and discuss the universality of this Hexp map. We also describe a Hom-Lie group action on a smooth manifold. Subsequently, we give the notion of an adjoint representation of a Hom-Lie group on its Hom-Lie algebra. At last, we integrate the Hom-Lie algebra (gl(V),[.,.],Ad), and the derivation Hom-Lie algebra of a Hom-Lie algebra.

AbstractI consider a two-parameter family Bs,t of unitary transforms mapping an L2-space over a Lie group of compact type onto a holomorphic L2-space over the complexified group. These were studied using infinite-dimensional analysis in joint work with B. Driver, but are treated here by finite-dimensional means. These transforms interpolate between two previously known transforms, and all should be thought of as generalizations of the classical Segal-Bargmann transform. I consider also the limiting cases s → ∞ and s → t/2.

Let Γ.𝒜 be the semi-direct product group of a nuclear Lie group Γ with the additive group 𝒜 of a real nuclear vector space. We give an explicit description of all the continuous representations of Γ.𝒜 the restriction of which to 𝒜 is a cyclic unitary representation, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the unitarity of such cylindrical representations is stated. This general result is successfully used to obtain irreducible unitary representations of the nuclear Lie groups of Riemannian motions, and, in the setting of the theory of multiplicative distributions initiated by I.M. Gelfand, it is proved that for any connected real finite dimensional Lie groupGand for any strictly positive integerkthere exist non located and non trivially decomposable representations of orderkof the nuclear Lie group(M;G) of all theG-valued test-functions on a given paracompact manifoldM.

Abstract Every simply connected and connected solvable Lie group 𝐺 admits a simply transitive action on a nilpotent Lie group 𝐻 via affine transformations. Although the existence is guaranteed, not much is known about which Lie groups 𝐺 can act simply transitively on which Lie groups 𝐻. So far, the focus was mainly on the case where 𝐺 is also nilpotent, leading to a characterization depending only on the corresponding Lie algebras and related to the notion of post-Lie algebra structures. This paper studies two different aspects of this problem. First, we give a method to check whether a given action ρ : G → Aff ⁡ ( H ) \rho\colon G\to\operatorname{Aff}(H) is simply transitive by looking only at the induced morphism φ : g → aff ⁡ ( h ) \varphi\colon\mathfrak{g}\to\operatorname{aff}(\mathfrak{h}) between the corresponding Lie algebras. Secondly, we show how to check whether a given solvable Lie group 𝐺 acts simply transitively on a given nilpotent Lie group 𝐻, again by studying properties of the corresponding Lie algebras. The main tool for both methods is the semisimple splitting of a solvable Lie algebra and its relation to the algebraic hull, which we also define on the level of Lie algebras. As an application, we give a full description of the possibilities for simply transitive actions up to dimension 4.

A well known result in the theory of Lie algebras, due to H. Zassenhaus, states that if is a finite dimensional Lie algebra over the field K such that the killing form of is non-degenerate, then the derivations of are all inner, [3, p. 74]. In particular, this applies to the finite dimensional split simple Lie algebras over fields of characteristic zero. In this paper we extend this result to a class of Lie algebras which generalize the split simple Lie algebras, and which are defined by Cartan matrices (for a definition see § 1). Because of the fact that the algebras we consider are usually infinite dimensional, the method we employ in our investigation is quite different from the standard one used in the finite dimensional case, and makes no reference to any associative bilinear form on the algebras.

Infinite-dimensional algebras associated with simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra g are considered. Higher-spin generalizations of sl(2) are studied in detail. Those of the Virasoro algebra are viewed as their "analytic continuations". Applications in higher-spin theory and in conformal QFT are discussed.

Let L be any simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra (defined over the field K of complex numbers). Cartan's theory of weights is used to define sets of (algebraic) representations of L that can be characterized in terms of left ideals of the universal enveloping algebra of L. These representations, called standard, generalize irreducible representations that possess a dominant weight. The newly obtained representations are all infinite-dimensional. Their study is initiated here by obtaining a partial solution to the problem of characterizing them by means of sequences of elements in K.

A Lie group is said to be metrisable if it admits a Riemannian metric which is invariant under all translations of the group. It is shown that the study of such groups reduces to the study of what are called metrisable Lie algebras, and some necessary conditions for a Lie algebra to be metrisable are given. Various decomposition and existence theorems are also given, and it is shown that every metrisable algebra is the product of an abelian algebra and a number of non-decomposable reduced algebras. The number of independent metrics admitted by a metrisable algebra is examined, and it is shown that the metric is unique when and only when the complex extension of the algebra is simple.
