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.

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 In this paper, we study homological stability for spaces $\textrm{Hom}({{\mathbb{Z}}}^n,G)$ of pairwise commuting $n$-tuples in a Lie group $G$. We prove that for each $n\geqslant 1$, these spaces satisfy rational homological stability as $G$ ranges through any of the classical sequences of compact, connected Lie groups, or their complexifications. We prove similar results for rational equivariant homology, for character varieties, and for the infinite-dimensional analogues of these spaces, $\textrm{Comm}(G)$ and $B_{\textrm{com}} G$, introduced by Cohen–Stafa and Adem–Cohen–Torres-Giese, respectively. In addition, we show that the rational homology of the space of unordered commuting $n$-tuples in a fixed group $G$ stabilizes as $n$ increases. Our proofs use the theory of representation stability—in particular, the theory of $\textrm{FI}_W$-modules developed by Church–Ellenberg–Farb and Wilson. In all of the these results, we obtain specific bounds on the stable range, and we show that the homology isomorphisms are induced by maps of spaces.

In this expository article we discuss some ideas and results which might lead to a theory of infinite dimensional symmetric spaces [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is an affine Kac–Moody group and [Formula: see text] the fixed point group of an involution (of the second kind). We point out several striking similarities of these spaces with their finite dimensional counterparts and discuss their geometry. Furthermore we sketch a classification and show that they are essentially in 1 : 1 correspondence with hyperpolar actions on compact simple Lie groups.

A new two-parameter quadratic deformation of the quantum oscillator algebra and its one-parameter deformed Heisenberg subalgebra are considered. An infinite-dimensional Fock module representation is presented, which at roots of unity contains singular vectors and so is reducible to a finite-dimensional representation. The semicyclic, nilpotent and unitary representations are discussed. Witten's deformation of sl 2 and some deformed infinite-dimensional algebras are constructed from the 1d Heisenberg algebra generators. The deformation of the centerless Virasoro algebra at roots of unity is mentioned. Finally the SL q(2) symmetry of the deformed Heisenberg algebra is explicitly constructed.

It is proved that the Lie groups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] represented in ℝ56 and the Lie group [Formula: see text] represented in ℝ112 occur as holonomies of torsion-free affine connections. It is also shown that the moduli spaces of torsion-free affine connections with these holonomies are finite dimensional, and that every such connection has a local symmetry group of positive dimension.

AbstractLetGbe a connected finite-dimensional Lie group andMa compact surface. We investigate whether, for a givenGandM, every continuous action ofGonMmust have a fixed (stationary) point. It is shown that whenGis nilpotent andMhas non-zero Euler characteristic that every action ofGonMmust have a fixed point. On the other hand, it is shown that the non-abelian 2-dimensional Lie group (affine group of the line) acts without fixed points on every compact surface. These results make it possible to complete this investigation for Lie groups of dimension at most 3.

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.

A Lie group acting on finite-dimensional space is generated by its infinitesimal transformations and conversely, any Lie algebra of vector fields in finite dimension generates a Lie group (the first fundamental theorem). This classical result is adjusted for the infinite-dimensional case. We prove that the (local,C∞smooth) action of a Lie group on infinite-dimensional space (a manifold modelled onℝ∞) may be regarded as a limit of finite-dimensional approximations and the corresponding Lie algebra of vector fields may be characterized by certain finiteness requirements. The result is applied to the theory of generalized (or higher-order) infinitesimal symmetries of differential equations.
