International audience The aim of this paper is to present some recent results on controllability of right-invariant systems on Lie groups. From the Lie-theoretical point of view, we study conditions under which subsemigroups generated by half-planes in the Lie algebra of a Lie group coincide with the whole Lie group.

AbstractIt was one of great successes of Kirillov's orbit method to see that the unitary dual of an exponential Lie group is in bijective correspondence with the orbit space associated with the linear dual of the Lie algebra of the group in question. To show that this correspondence is an homeomorphism turned out to be unexpectedly difficult. Only in 1994 H. Leptin and J. Ludwig gave a proof using the notion of variable groups. In this article their proof in the case of completely solvable Lie group is reorganized, some “philosophy” and some new arguments are added. The purpose is to contribute to a better understanding of this proof.

A hom-Lie group structure is a smooth group-like multiplication on a manifold, where the structure is twisted by a isomorphism. The notion of hom-Lie group was introduced by Jiang et al. as integration of hom-Lie algebra. In this paper we want to study hom-Lie group and hom-Lie algebra from the Lie group’s point of view. We show that some of important hom-Lie group issues are equal to similar types in Lie groups and then many of these issues can be studied by Lie group theory.

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.

Abstract We study the natural functional $F=\frac {\operatorname {scal}^2}{|\operatorname {Ric}|^2}$ on the space of all non-flat left-invariant metrics on all solvable Lie groups of a given dimension $n$. As an application of properties of the beta operator, we obtain that solvsolitons are the only global maxima of $F$ restricted to the set of all left-invariant metrics on a given unimodular solvable Lie group, and beyond the unimodular case, we obtain the same result for almost-abelian Lie groups. Many other aspects of the behavior of $F$ are clarified.

Abstract Let G be a noncompact semi-simple Lie group with Iwasawa decomposition {G=KAN} . For a semigroup {S\subset G} with nonempty interior we find a domain of convergence of the Helgason–Laplace transform {I_{S}(\lambda,u)=\int_{S}e^{\lambda(\mathsf{a}(g,u))}\,dg} , where dg is the Haar measure of G, {u\in K} , {\lambda\in\mathfrak{a}^{\ast}} , {\mathfrak{a}} is the Lie algebra of A and {gu=ke^{\mathsf{a}(g,u)}n\in KAN} . The domain is given in terms of a flag manifold of G written {\mathbb{F}_{\Theta(S)}} called the flag type of S, where {\Theta(S)} is a subset of the simple system of roots. It is proved that {I_{S}(\lambda,u)<\infty} if λ belongs to a convex cone defined from {\Theta(S)} and {u\in\pi^{-1}(\mathcal{D}_{\Theta(S)}(S))} , where {\mathcal{D}_{\Theta(S)}(S)\subset\mathbb{F}_{\Theta(S)}} is a B-convex set and {\pi:K\rightarrow\mathbb{F}_{\Theta(S)}} is the natural projection. We prove differentiability of {I_{S}(\lambda,u)} and apply the results to construct of a Riemannian metric in {\mathcal{D}_{\Theta(S)}(S)} invariant by the group {S\cap S^{-1}} of units of S.

Abstract Let $M$ be a manifold with a closed, integral $(k+1)$-form $\omega $, and let $G$ be a Fréchet–Lie group acting on $(M,\omega )$. As a generalization of the Kostant–Souriau extension for symplectic manifolds, we consider a canonical class of central extensions of ${\mathfrak{g}}$ by ${\mathbb{R}}$, indexed by $H^{k-1}(M,{\mathbb{R}})^*$. We show that the image of $H_{k-1}(M,{\mathbb{Z}})$ in $H^{k-1}(M,{\mathbb{R}})^*$ corresponds to a lattice of Lie algebra extensions that integrate to smooth central extensions of $G$ by the circle group ${\mathbb{T}}$. The idea is to represent a class in $H_{k-1}(M,{\mathbb{Z}})$ by a weighted submanifold $(S,\beta )$, where $\beta $ is a closed, integral form on $S$. We use transgression of differential characters from $ S$ and $ M $ to the mapping space $ C^\infty (S, M) $ and apply the Kostant–Souriau construction on $ C^\infty (S, M) $.

In this investigation, we present symmetry algebras of the canonical geodesic equations of the indecomposable solvable Lie groups of dimension five, confined to algebras A 5 , 7 a b c to A 18 a . For each algebra, the related system of geodesics is provided. Moreover, a basis for the associated Lie algebra of the symmetry vector fields, as well as the corresponding nonzero brackets, are constructed and categorized.

We show that, given a matrix Lie group [Formula: see text] and its Lie algebra [Formula: see text], a 1-parameter subgroup of [Formula: see text] whose generator is the sum of an unperturbed matrix Â0 and an analytic perturbation Â♢(λ) can be mapped — under suitable conditions — by a similarity transformation depending analytically on the perturbative parameter λ, onto a 1-parameter subgroup of [Formula: see text] generated by a matrix [Formula: see text] belonging to the centralizer of Â0 in [Formula: see text]. Both the similarity transformation and the matrix [Formula: see text] can be determined perturbatively, hence allowing a very convenient perturbative expansion of the original 1-parameter subgroup.

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.
