Chevalley theorems extended to isotropic functions on matrix spaces.

Study finds conditions for operator fields to be in strictly upper triangular form in small dimensions.

The abstract discusses extensions of Jacobi groups and their orbit space properties.

We prove that every homomorphism from the elementary Chevalley group over a finitely generated unital commutative ring associated with reduced irreducible classical root system of rank at least 2, and ME analogues of such groups, into acylindrically hyperbolic groups has an absolutely elliptic image. This result provid…

Chevalley's theorem and it's converse, the Sheppard-Todd theorem, assert that finite reflection groups are distinguished by the fact that the ring of invariant polynomials is freely generated. We show that in the Euclidean case, a weaker condition suffices to characterize finite reflection groups, namely that a freely-…

We show that if G is a Chevalley group of rank n and F_q[t,t^{-1}] is the ring of Laurent polynomials over a finite field, then G(F_q[t,t^{-1}]) is of type F_{2n-1}. This bound is optimal because it is known -- and we show again -- that the group is not of type F_{2n}.

Study cohomology of hemistrict Lie 2-algebras, proving isomorphic results.

We give a new proof of the Jantzen sum formula for integral representations of Chevalley schemes over Spec Z. This is done by applying the fixed point formula of Lefschetz type in Arakelov geometry to generalized flag varieties. Our proof involves the computation of the equivariant Ray-Singer torsion for all equivarian…

We continue the study of the distribution of closed geodesics on nilmanifolds constructed from a simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group with a left invariant metric and a lattice. We consider a Lie group with an associated 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra constructed from an irreducible representation of a compact sem…

A well-known theorem of Kapranov states that the Atiyah class of the tangent bundle $TX$ of a complex manifold $X$ makes the shifted tangent bundle $TX[-1]$ into a Lie algebra object in the derived category $D(X)$. Moreover, he showed that there is an $L_\infty$-algebra structure on the Dolbeault resolution of $TX[-1]$…

Analytic torsion expansions for symmetric and complex homogeneous spaces.

We define an n-plectic structure as a commutative and torsionless Lie Rinehart pair, together with a distinguished cocycle from its Chevalley-Eilenberg complex. This 'n-plectic cocycle' gives rise to an extension of the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex by so called symplectic tensors. The cohomology of this extension genera…

Researchers compute cohomology of Lie groups using Lie algebras.

Paper constructs subcomplexes from filtered Riemannian manifolds.

Given a Lie algebra with a scalar product, one may consider the latter as a symplectic structure on a $dg$-scheme, which is the spectrum of the Chevalley--Eilenberg algebra. In the first section we explicitly calculate the first order deformation of the differential on the Hochschild complex of the Chevalley--Eilenberg…

Normal forms and moduli stacks for flat connections on complex manifolds.

We study the variety of actions of a fixed (Chevalley) group on arbitrary geodesic, Gromov hyperbolic spaces. In high rank we obtain a complete classification. In rank one, we obtain some partial results and give a conjectural picture.

Novel proof technique for Gelfand-Fuks cohomology.

Geometrically solves differentiating simplicial manifolds.

New algebra structure derived from Lie pairs.

We investigate when the Chevalley-Eilenberg differential of a complex Lie algebroid on a manifold with boundary admits a Hodge decomposition. We introduce the concepts of Cauchy-Riemann structures, elliptic and non-elliptic boundary points and Levi-forms, which we use to define the notion of q-convexity. We show that t…

Berwald metrics are particular Finsler metrics which still have linear Berwald connections. Their complete classification is established in an earlier work, [Sz1], of this author. The main tools in these classification are the Simons-Berger holonomy theorem and the Weyl-group theory. It turnes out that any Berwald metr…

Study logarithmic flat connections on principal bundles using Lie groupoids.

We study the shifted analogue of the "Lie--Poisson" construction for $L_\infty$ algebroids and we prove that any $L_\infty$ algebroid naturally gives rise to shifted derived Poisson manifolds. We also investigate derived Poisson structures from a purely algebraic perspective and, in particular, we establish a homotopy …

We define and study isoparametric submanifolds of general ambient spaces and of arbitrary codimension. In particular we study their behaviour with respect to Riemannian submersions and their lift into a Hilbert space. These results are used to prove a Chevalley type restriction theorem which relates by restriction eige…

New internal symmetry found for Lie pair algebra.

Researchers calculate cohomological dimensions of manifold configuration spaces, proving arithmeticity and providing bounds.

We give an overview about finiteness properties of soluble S-arithmetic groups. Both, the number field case and the function field case are covered. The main result is: If B is a Borel subgroup in a Chevalley group and R is an S-arithmetic ring, then the group B(R) has finiteness length |S|-1 in the function field case…

It is known from work by H. Abels and P. Abramenko that for a classical Fq-group G of rank n the arithemetic lattice G(Fq[t]) of Fq[t]-rational points is of type Fn-1 provided that q is large enough. We show that the statement is true without any assumption on q and for any isotropic, absolutely almost simple group G d…

T. Kobayashi conjectured in the 36th Geometry Symposium in Japan (1989) that a homogeneous space G/H of reductive type does not admit a compact Clifford-Klein form if rank G - rank K < rank H - rank K_H. We solve this conjecture affirmatively. We apply a cohomological obstruction to the existence of compact Clifford-Kl…

We extend the classical characterization of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra g in terms of its Maurer-Cartan algebra-the familiar differential graded algebra of alternating forms on g with values in the ground field, endowed with the standard Lie algebra cohomology operator-to sh Lie-Rinehart algebras. To this end, we …

Lie n-algebroids and Lie infinity algebroids are usually thought of exclusively in supergeometric or algebraic terms. In this work, we apply the higher derived brackets construction to obtain a geometric description of Lie n-algebroids by means of brackets and anchors. Moreover, we provide a geometric description of mo…

New construction of Atiyah and Todd classes for Lie pair pullback dg Lie algebroids.

New groups and manifolds from Weyl groups, with Frobenius structures.

We continue the study the Dolbeault dga of the formal neighborhood of an arbitary closed embedding of complex manifolds previously defined by the author in \cite{DolbeaultDGA}. The special case of the diagonal embedding has been studied in \cite{Diagonal}. We describe the Dolbeault dga explicitly in terms of the formal…

Let G be a compact, connected Lie group, acting smoothly on a manifold M. Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson described a small Cartan model for the equivariant cohomology of M, quasi-isomorphic to the standard Cartan complex of equivariant differential forms. In this paper, we construct an explicit cochain map from the small …

Let G be a Chevalley group scheme and B<=G a Borel subgroup scheme, both defined over Z. Let K be a global function field, S be a finite non-empty set of places over K, and O_S be the corresponding S-arithmetic ring. Then, the S-arithmetic group B(O_S) is of type F_{|S|-1} but not of type FP_{|S|}. Moreover one can der…

Study prolongations of nilpotent Lie algebras with specific structural subalgebras.

We study the transverse Poisson structure to adjoint orbits in a complex semi-simple Lie algebra. The problem is first reduced to the case of nilpotent orbits. We prove then that in suitably chosen quasi-homogeneous coordinates the quasi-degree of the transverse Poisson structure is -2. In the particular case of {\emph…

Global theory of relative invariants and equivariant line bundles established.

The Van Est homomorphism for a Lie groupoid $G \rightrightarrows M$, as introduced by Weinstein-Xu, is a cochain map from the complex $C^\infty(BG)$ of groupoid cochains to the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex $C(A)$ of the Lie algebroid $A$ of $G$. It was generalized by Weinstein, Mehta, and Abad-Crainic to a morphism from…

Proves cohomology of elliptic structures on Lie groups can be algebraic.

The paper proves rigidity theorems for forms on reductive symmetric spaces.

We show that the small quantum product of the generalized flag manifold $G/B$ is a product operation on $H^*(G/B)\otimes \bR[q_1,..., q_l]$ uniquely determined by the fact that it is a deformation of the cup product on $H^*(G/B)$, it is commutative, associative, graded with respect to $°(q_i)=4$, it satisfies a certain…

An involutive distribution $C$ on a smooth manifold $M$ is a Lie-algebroid acting on sections of the normal bundle $TM/C$. It is known that the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex associated to this representation of $C$ possesses the structure $\mathbb{X}$ of a strong homotopy Lie-Rinehart algebra. It is natural to interpret …

This paper encloses a complete and explicit description of the derivations of the Lie algebra D(M) of all linear differential operators of a smooth manifold M, of its Lie subalgebra D^1(M) of all linear first-order differential operators of M, and of the Poisson algebra S(M)=Pol(T*M) of all polynomial functions on T*M,…
