AbstractWe provide characterizations of Lie groups as compact-like groups in which all closed zero-dimensional metric (compact) subgroups are discrete. The “compact-like” properties we consider include (local) compactness, (local) ω-boundedness, (local) countable compactness, (local) precompactness, (local) minimality and sequential completeness. Below is A sample of our characterizations is as follows:(i) A topological group is a Lie group if and only if it is locally compact and has no infinite compact metric zero-dimensional subgroups.(ii) An abelian topological groupGis a Lie group if and only ifGis locally minimal, locally precompact and all closed metric zero-dimensional subgroups ofGare discrete.(iii) An abelian topological group is a compact Lie group if and only if it is minimal and has no infinite closed metric zero-dimensional subgroups.(iv) An infinite topological group is a compact Lie group if and only if it is sequentially complete, precompact, locally minimal, contains a non-empty open connected subset and all its compact metric zero-dimensional subgroups are finite.

For any group G, x ∈ G and n ∈ ℕ (the natural numbers), leti.e. the set of all nth roots of x in G. If G is a Hausdorff topological group, then Rn(x, G) is a closed set in G, but may otherwise be quite complicated. However, as we have observed in (4), if G is a compact Lie group, then Rn(x, G) always has a finite number of connected components, and this result has led us to wonder about the connectedness properties of Rn(x, G) for other Lie groups G. Here is the result.

We show that the subspace An(X) of the free Abelian topological group A(X) on a Tychonoff space X is locally compact for each n ∈ ω if and only if A2(X) is locally compact if an only if F2(X) is locally compact if and only if X is the topological sum of a compact space and a discrete space. It is also proved that the subspace Fn(X) of the free topological group F(X) is locally compact for each n ∈ ω if and only if F4(X) is locally compact if and only if Fn(X) has pointwise countable type for each n ∈ ω if and only if F4(X) has pointwise countable type if and only if X is either compact or discrete, thus refining a result by Pestov and Yamada. We further show that An(X) has pointwise countable type for each n ∈ ω if and only if A2(X) has pointwise countable type if and only if F2(X) has pointwise countable type if and only if there exists a compact set C of countable character in X such that the complement X \ C is discrete. Finally, we show that F2(X) is locally compact if and only if F3(X) is locally compact, and that F2(X) has pointwise countable type if and only if F3(X) has pointwise countable type.

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.

AbstractAs an analog of a well-known theoremon the bilinear fractional integral on ℝn by Kenig and Stein, we establish the similar boundedness property for a bilinear fractional integral on a compact Lie group. Our result is also a generalization of our recent theorem about the bilinear fractional integral on torus.

Usual Topology

For a Tychonoff space $X$, let $\mathbb{V}(X)$ be the free topological vector space over $X$, $A(X)$ the free abelian topological group over $X$ and $\mathbb{I}$ the unit interval with its usual topology. It is proved here that if $X$ is a subspace of $\mathbb{I}$, then the following are equivalent: $\mathbb{V}(X)$ can be embedded in $\mathbb{V}(\mathbb{I})$ as a topological vector subspace; $A(X)$ can be embedded in $A(\mathbb{I})$ as a topological subgroup; $X$ is locally compact.

We study the Balmer spectrum of the category of finite $G$-spectra for a compact Lie group $G$, extending the work for finite $G$ by Strickland, Balmer–Sanders, Barthel–Hausmann–Naumann–Nikolaus–Noel–Stapleton and others. We give a description of the underlying set of the spectrum and show that the Balmer topology is completely determined by the inclusions between the prime ideals and the topology on the space of closed subgroups of $G$. Using this, we obtain a complete description of this topology for all abelian compact Lie groups and consequently a complete classification of thick tensor ideals. For general compact Lie groups we obtain such a classification away from a finite set of primes $p$.

Hyperkähler Metrics

It is well known that the cotangent bundle of any manifold has a canonical symplectic structure. If we specialize to the case when the manifold is a compact Lie group G, then this structure is preserved by the actions of G on T*G induced by left and right translation on G. We refer to these as the left and right actions of G on T*G.

Orbit Types

A general process for the desingularization of smooth actions of compact Lie groups is described. If G is a compact Lie group, it is shown that there is naturally associated to any compact G manifold M a compact G × (Z/2)p manifold on which G acts principally. Here Z/2 denotes the cyclic group of order two and p + 1 is the number of orbit types of the G action on M.
