In this thesis, we introduce a new cohomology theory associated to a Lie 2-algebras and a new cohomology theory associated to a Lie 2-group. These cohomology theories are shown to extend the classical cohomology theories of Lie algebras and Lie groups in that their second groups classify extensions. We use this fact to…

In this easy introduction to higher gauge theory, we describe parallel transport for particles and strings in terms of 2-connections on 2-bundles. Just as ordinary gauge theory involves a gauge group, this generalization involves a gauge '2-group'. We focus on 6 examples. First, every abelian Lie group gives a Lie 2-gr…
In this survey, we report on the state of the art of some of the fundamental problems in the Lie theory of Lie groups modeled on locally convex spaces, such as integrability of Lie algebras, integrability of Lie subalgebras to Lie subgroups, and integrability of Lie algebra extensions to Lie group extensions. We furthe…
We develop the structure theory of symplectic Lie groups based on the study of their isotropic normal subgroups. The article consists of three main parts. In the first part we show that every symplectic Lie group admits a sequence of subsequent symplectic reductions to a unique irreducible symplectic Lie group. The sec…

Explores new perspectives in transverse index theory for Lie group actions.
We present a simple remark that assures that the invariant theory of certain real Lie groups coincides with that of the underlying affine, real algebraic groups. In particular, this result applies to the non-compact orthogonal or symplectic Lie groups.
Study index theory on Lie group homogeneous spaces using topological and analytic methods.
This paper is devoted to the development and applications of some (new) basic concepts in Lie theory, both from `computational" and "observability" viewpoint. We specify set of all "G-equivariant" maps from a given Lie group G to the underlying manifold M, namely -set, and also we introduce "conjugacy" in Lie group …

The paper extends Heintze-Kobayashi-Wolf theory to negatively curved homogeneous Finsler manifolds.
Motivated by the interesting and yet scattered developments in representation theory of Banach-Lie groups, we discuss several functional analytic issues which should underlie the notion of infinite-dimensional reductive Lie group: norm ideals, triangular integrals, operator factorizations, and amenability.
The book explores Lie groups and Carnot-Carathéodory spaces, highlighting their applications in metric geometry and geometric group theory.
We introduce -positivity, a new notion of positivity in real semisimple Lie groups. The notion of -positivity generalizes at the same time Lusztig's total positivity in split real Lie groups as well as well known concepts of positivity in Lie groups of Hermitian type. We show that there are two other families of …
We compute the equivariant -theory for a simply connected Lie group (acting on itself by conjugation). We prove that is isomorphic to the algebra of Grothendieck differentials on the representation ring. We also study a special example of a non-simply connected Lie group , namely PSU(3),…
We generalize the Uhlenbeck-Segal theory for harmonic maps into compact semi-simple Lie groups to general Lie groups equipped with torsion free bi-invariant connection.
We survey the concept of multiplicativity from its initial appearance in the theory of Poisson-Lie groups to the far-reaching generalizations, for multivectors and differential forms in the geometry and the generalized geometry of Lie groupoids, as well as their infinitesimal counterparts in the theory of Lie algebroid…

These are lecture notes of a course on symmetry group analysis of differential equations, based mainly on P. J. Olver's book 'Applications of Lie Groups to Differential Equations'. The course starts out with an introduction to the theory of local transformation groups, based on the Stefan-Sussman theory on the integrab…
We construct a model for the string group as an infinite-dimensional Lie group. In a second step we extend this model by a contractible Lie group to a Lie 2-group model. To this end we need to establish some facts on the homotopy theory of Lie 2-groups. Moreover, we provide an explicit comparison of string structures f…
Some simple examples from quantum physics and control theory are used to illustrate the application of the theory of Lie systems. We will show, in particular, that for certain physical models both of the corresponding classical and quantum problems can be treated in a similar way, may be up to the replacement of the in…
Investigates adjustments on Lie group crossed modules for gauge theory.
Chern-Weil and Chern-Simons theory extend to certain infinite-rank bundles that appear in mathematical physics. We discuss what is known of the invariant theory of the corresponding infinite-dimensional Lie groups. We use these techniques to detect cohomology classes for spaces of maps between manifolds and for diffeom…
Survey recent constructions of cyclic cocycles for Lie groups.
We describe the reduction procedure for a symplectic Lie algebroid by a Lie subalgebroid and a symmetry Lie group. Moreover, given an invariant Hamiltonian function we obtain the corresponding reduced Hamiltonian dynamics. Several examples illustrate the generality of the theory.
We explain that general differential calculus and Lie theory have a common foundation: Lie Calculus is differential calculus, seen from the point of view of Lie theory, by making use of the groupoid concept as link between them. Higher order theory naturally involves higher algebra (n-fold groupoids).(conceptual, topol…
Study 2D viscoelastic equations using Lie group theory.
In this article, we introduce a new cohomology theory associated to a Lie 2-algebras. This cohomology theory is shown to extend the classical cohomology theory of Lie algebras; in particular, we show that the second cohomology group classifies an appropriate type of extensions.
