We review known and state some new results on homotopy nilpotency and co-nilpotency of spaces. Next, we take up the systematic study of homotopy nilpotency of homogenous spaces G/K for a Lie group G and its closed subgroup K < G. The homotopy nilpotency of the loop spaces Ω(Gn,m(K)) and Ω(Vn,m(K)) of Grassmann Gn,m(K) and Stiefel Vn,m(K) manifolds for K = R, C, the field of reals or complex numbers and H, the skew R-algebra of quaternions is shown.

Finite Loop Space

Abstract Greenlees has conjectured that the rational stable equivariant homotopy category of a compact Lie group always has an algebraic model. Based on this idea, we show that the category of rational local systems on a connected finite loop space always has a simple algebraic model. When the loop space arises from a connected compact Lie group, this recovers a special case of a result of Pol and Williamson about rational cofree G-spectra. More generally, we show that if K is a closed subgroup of a compact Lie group G such that the Weyl group W G K is connected, then a certain category of rational G-spectra “at K” has an algebraic model. For example, when K is the trivial group, this is just the category of rational cofree G-spectra, and this recovers the aforementioned result. Throughout, we pay careful attention to the role of torsion and complete categories.

Given a Lie group $G$ and a lattice $\Gamma$ in $G$, a one-parameter subgroup $\phi$ of $G$ is said to be rigid if for any other one-parameter subgroup $\psi$, the flows induced by $\phi$ and $\psi$ on $\Gamma\backslash G$ (by right translations) are topologically orbit-equivalent only if they are affinely orbit-equivalent. It was previously known that if $G$ is a simply connected solvable Lie group such that all the eigenvalues of $\mathrm{Ad} (g) $, $g\in G$, are real, then all one-parameter subgroups of $G$ are rigid for any lattice in $G$. Here we consider a complementary case, in which the eigenvalues of $\mathrm{Ad} (g)$, $g\in G$, form the unit circle of complex numbers.Let $G$ be the semidirect product $N \rtimes M$, where $M$ and $N$ are finite-dimensional real vector spaces and where the action of $M$ on the normal subgroup $N$ is such that the center of $G$ is a lattice in $M$. We prove that there is a generic class of abelian lattices $\Gamma$ in $G$ such that any semisimple one-parameter subgroup $\phi$ (namely $\phi$ such that $\mathrm{Ad} (\phi_t)$ is diagonalizable over the complex numbers for all $t$) is rigid for $\Gamma$ (see Theorem 1.4). We also show that, on the other hand, there are fairly high-dimensional spaces of abelian lattices for which some semisimple $\phi$ are not rigid (see Corollary 4.3); further, there are non-rigid semisimple $\phi$ for which the induced flow is ergodic.

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.

Let G be a real Lie group, A a closed subgroup of G and B an analytic subgroup of G. Assume that B normalizes A and that AB is closed in G. Then our main result (Theorem 1) asserts that .This result generalizes Lemma 2 in the paper [4], G.

AbstractWe show that if (ut) is a one-parameter subgroup of SL (n, ℝ) consisting of unipotent matrices, then for any ε > 0 there exists a compact subset K of SL(n, ℝ)/SL(n, ℤ) such that the following holds: for any g ∈ SL(n, ℝ) either m({t ∈ [0, T] | utg SL (n, ℤ) ∈ K}) > (1 – ε)T for all large T (m being the Lebesgue measure) or there exists a non-trivial (g−1utg)-invariant subspace defined by rational equations.Similar results are deduced for orbits of unipotent flows on other homogeneous spaces. We also conclude that if G is a connected semisimple Lie group and Γ is a lattice in G then there exists a compact subset D of G such that for any closed connected unipotent subgroup U, which is not contained in any proper closed subgroup of G, we have G = DΓ U. The decomposition is applied to get results on Diophantine approximation.

Properly Discontinuous Action

Let [Formula: see text] be a Lie group, [Formula: see text] a closed subgroup of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] a discontinuous group for the homogeneous space [Formula: see text]. Given a deformation parameter [Formula: see text], the deformed subgroup [Formula: see text] may fail to act properly discontinuously on [Formula: see text]. To understand this phenomenon in the case when [Formula: see text] stands for an Euclidean motion group [Formula: see text], we compare the notion of stability for discontinuous groups (cf. [T. Kobayashi and S. Nasrin, Deformation of properly discontinuous action of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text], Int. J. Math. 17 (2006) 1175–1193]) with its variants. We prove that the defined stability variants hold when [Formula: see text] turns out to be a crystallographic subgroup of [Formula: see text].

This paper is devoted to the proof of the following theorem.THEOREM 1.1. Let H be a closed subgroup of a connected Lie group G, let N denote the largest (closed) subgroup of H which is normal in all of G, and suppose that π is a unitary representation of H whose restriction to N is a multiple of a character χ of N. Then every matrix coefficient of the induced representation Uπ vanishes at infinity modulo the kernel of Uπ providing that the following two conditions hold:i) N is almost-connected (finite modulo its connected component).ii) The subgroup Hk is “regularly related” to the diagonal subgroup D in Gk for at least one integer k ≧ k0 where k0 is determined by G and H.
