Affine Action

We consider the affine action of a nilpotent Lie group on ℝn. Lipsman (1995) conjectured that such an action is proper in the sense of Palais if and only if the action is (CI) in the sense of Kobayashi. The present paper gives a counterexample to Lipsman's conjecture for n ≥ 5.

Simply Connected

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.

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.

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.

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.
