We propose a systematic and topological study of limits \(\lim_{\nu\to 0^+}G_\mathbb{R}\cdot(\nu x)\) of continuous families of adjoint orbits for a non-compact simple real Lie group \(G_\mathbb{R}\). This limit is always a finite union of nilpotent orbits. We describe explicitly these nilpotent orbits in terms of Richardson orbits in the case of hyperbolic semisimple elements. We also show that one can approximate minimal nilpotent orbits or even nilpotent orbits by elliptic semisimple orbits. The special cases of \(\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{R})\) and \(\mathrm{SU}(p,q)\) are computed in detail.

AbstractWe give various realizations of the adjoint orbits of a semi-simple Lie group and describe their symplectic geometry. We then use these realizations to identify a family of Lagrangian submanifolds of the orbits.

We give a criterion for the Kostant–Kirillov form on an adjoint orbit in a real semisimple Lie group to be exact. We explicitly compute the second cohomology of all the nilpotent adjoint orbits in every complex simple Lie algebra.

In this paper we study the paracomplex analogues of almost contact structures, and we introduce and study the notion of parahodge structures on manifolds. In particular, we construct new examples of paracomplex manifolds and we find all simply connected parahermitian symmetric coset spaces, which are the adjoint orbits of noncompact simple Lie groups, with parahodge structures induced by the Killing forms. This is done by (i) observing that a version of the results of A. Morimoto [4] on almost contact structures can be formulated and proved for almost paracontact structures, and by (ii) the methods of geometric quantization [3] applied to parahermitian symmetric triples [1] in conjunction with results of [7]. Two of the main results are Theorem 2.5 (which ties together the above structures) and Corollary 3.9.

The aim of this paper is to classify invariant flows on Lie group $G$ whose Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is associative or semisimple. Specifically, we present this classification from the hyperbolicity of the lift flows on $G \times \mathfrak{g}$. Then we apply this construction to some special cases as ${\rm Gl}(2,{\Bbb R})$ and affine Lie group.

This paper is mainly a review of the multi-Hamiltonian nature of Toda and generalized Toda lattices corresponding to the classical simple Lie groups but it includes also some new results. The areas investigated include master symmetries, recursion operators, higher Poisson brackets, invariants and group symmetries for the systems. In addition to the positive hierarchy we also consider the negative hierarchy which is crucial in establishing the bi-Hamiltonian structure for each particular simple Lie group. Finally, we include some results on point and Noether symmetries and an interesting connection with the exponents of simple Lie groups. The case of exceptional simple Lie groups is still an open problem.

A finitely generated subgroup ${\rm\Gamma}$ of a real Lie group $G$ is said to be Diophantine if there is ${\it\beta}>0$ such that non-trivial elements in the word ball $B_{{\rm\Gamma}}(n)$ centered at $1\in {\rm\Gamma}$ never approach the identity of $G$ closer than $|B_{{\rm\Gamma}}(n)|^{-{\it\beta}}$. A Lie group $G$ is said to be Diophantine if for every $k\geqslant 1$ a random $k$-tuple in $G$ generates a Diophantine subgroup. Semi-simple Lie groups are conjectured to be Diophantine but very little is proven in this direction. We give a characterization of Diophantine nilpotent Lie groups in terms of the ideal of laws of their Lie algebra. In particular we show that nilpotent Lie groups of class at most $5$, or derived length at most $2$, as well as rational nilpotent Lie groups are Diophantine. We also find that there are non-Diophantine nilpotent and solvable (non-nilpotent) Lie groups.

SynopsisThe Hopf algebra structure of H*(ΩG, F2) and the action of the dual Steenrod algebra are completely and explicitly determined when G isone of the connected, simply connected, exceptional, simple Lie groups. The approach is homological, using connected coverings and spectral sequences.

AbstractBy recent work on some conjectures of Pillay, each definably compact group G in a saturated o-minimal expansion of an ordered field has a normal “infinitesimal subgroup” G00 such that the quotient G/G00, equipped with the “logic topology”, is a compact (real) Lie group. Our first result is that the functor G ↦ G/G00 sends exact sequences of definably compact groups into exact sequences of Lie groups. We then study the connections between the Lie group G/G00 and the o-minimal spectrum of G. We prove that G/G00 is a topological quotient of . We thus obtain a natural homomorphism Ψ* from the cohomology of G/G00 to the (Čech-)cohomology of . We show that if G00 satisfies a suitable contractibility conjecture then is acyclic in Čech cohomology and Ψ is an isomorphism. Finally we prove the conjecture in some special cases.

AbstractA Lie group is called p-regular if it has the p-local homotopy type of a product of spheres. (Non)triviality of the Samelson products of the inclusions of the factor spheres into p-regular SO(2n(p) is determined, which completes the list of (non)triviality of such Samelson products in p-regular simple Lie groups. As an application, we determine the homotopy normality of the inclusion SO(2n − 1) → SO(2n) in the sense of James at any prime p.
