In this note we prove that the Borel class of representations of 3-manifold groups to PGL(n,C) is preserved under Cartan involution up to sign. For representations to PGL(3,C) this is implied by a more general result of E. Falbel and Q. Wang, however our proof appears to be much shorter for that special case.
We apply the language of the groupoid approach to Lie pseudo-groups, and the classical Cartan-Kuranishi theorem, to prove that Cartan's equivalence method terminates at involution (or at complete reduction) for constant type problems.

We apply the Cartan-Kahler theorem for the k-Dirac operator studied in Clifford analysis and to the parabolic version of this operator.

We study Wick-rotations of left-invariant metrics on Lie groups, using results from real GIT (\cite{1}, \cite{2}, \cite{3}).

By combining the ideas of Cartan's equivalence method and the method of the equivariant moving frame for pseudo-groups, we develop an efficient method for solving equivalence problems arising from horizontal Lie pseudo-group actions. The key is a pseudo-group analog of the classic result that characterizes congruence o…
We prove that all immersions of a genus one surface into G/T possessing a Toda frame can be constructed by integrating a pair of commuting vector fields on a finite dimensional Lie algebra.
