The study classifies nilpotent Lie foliations with cohomological obstructions.

Study Lie foliation of Walker manifolds in pseudo-Riemannian geometry.

We show that the distribution of symmetry of a naturally reductive nilpotent Lie group coincides with the invariant distribution induced by the set of fixed vectors of the isotropy. This extends a known result on compact naturally reductive spaces. We also address the study of the quotient by the foliation of symmetry.

Study compatible and associated metrics for contact-symplectic structures, showing geodesic integral curves and minimal leaf properties.

We show that if the structure algebra of a Riemannian foliation F on a closed manifold M is nilpotent, then the integral of the Álvarez class of (M,F) along every closed path is the exponential of an algebraic number. By this result and the continuity of the Álvarez class under deformations shown in arXiv:1009.1098v2, …

We study bi-Lagrangian structures (a symplectic form with a pair of complementary Lagrangian foliations, also known as para-Kähler or Künneth structures) on nilmanifolds of dimension less than or equal to 6. In particular, building on previous work of several authors, we determine which 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie alge…

The paper studies time-optimal problems on specific Lie groups, describing orbits and integrals.

We study the conditions for a nilpotent Lie group to be foliated into subgroups that have square integrable (relative discrete series) unitary representations, that fit together to form a filtration by normal subgroups. Then we use that filtration to construct a class of "stepwise square integrable" representations on …

Study on the topology of leaves in singular Riemannian foliations.

We present some examples of locally conformal symplectic structures of the first kind on compact nilmanifolds which do not admit Vaisman metrics. One of these examples does not admit locally conformal Kähler metrics and all the structures come from left-invariant locally conformal symplectic structures on the correspon…

We introduce a new geometric structure on differentiable manifolds. A \textit{Contact} \textit{Pair}on a manifold $M$ is a pair $(α,η)$ of Pfaffian forms of constant classes $2k+1$ and $2h+1$ respectively such that $α\wedge dα^{k}\wedgeη\wedge dη^{h}$ is a volume form. Both forms have a characteristic foliation whose …

We study the question of the existence of left-invariant Sasaki contact structures on the seven-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups. It is shown that the only Lie group allowing Sasaki structure with a positive definite metric tensor is the Heisenberg group. We find a complete list of the 22 classes of seven-dimensional n…

We study complex product structures on nilpotent Lie algebras, establishing some of their main properties, and then we restrict ourselves to 6 dimensions, obtaining the classification of 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras admitting such structures. We prove that any complex structure which forms part of a complex pro…

A flat pseudo-Euclidean Lie algebra is a real Lie algebra with a non degenerate symmetric bilinear form and a left symmetric product whose the commutator is the Lie bracket and such that the left multiplications are skew-symmetric. We show that the center of a flat pseudo-Euclidean nilpotent Lie algebra of signature $(…

Every finite dimensional real representation of a compact real semisimple Lie algebra determines a metric 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra and a corresponding simply connected metric 2-step nilpotent Lie group N. We study the differential geometry of N using representation theory of the complexified complex semisimple Lie …

This paper classifies Ricci soliton subgroups in a specific type of nilpotent group.

In this paper we study contact structure on 2-step nilpotent, Heisenberg type Lie groups. We decompose this Lie groups to center and orthogonal complement, then investigate properties of both orthogonal Lie subgroups. Finally, we provide a connection between matchings in groups and field extensions and 2-step nilpotent…

New methods find Ricci-flat metrics on specific Lie groups.

We study the tangential Poisson cohomology (TP-cohomology) of regular Poisson manifolds, first defined by Lichnerowicz using contravariant tensor fields. We show that for a regular Poisson manifold M, the TP-cohomology coincides with the leafwise de Rham (or Cech) cohomology of the symplectic foliation of M. Its comput…

Classifies a specific type of Lie groups related to Einstein geometry.

In this note we are concerned with the distribution of Einstein and non-Einstein nilradicals among all nilpotent Lie groups. A nilpotent Lie group is called an Einstein, resp. non-Einstein, nilradical if it is a nilpotent Lie group which does, resp. does not, admit a left-invariant Ricci soliton metric. Using technique…

We associate a two-step nilpotent Lie algebra to an arbitrary Schreier graph. We then use properties of the Schreier graph to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for this Lie algebra to extend to a three-step nilpotent Lie algebra. As an application, if we start with pairs of non-isomorphic Schreier graphs co…

We illustrate an algorithm to classify nice nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension $n$ up to a suitable notion of equivalence; applying the algorithm, we obtain complete listings for $n\leq9$. On every nilpotent Lie algebra of dimension $\leq 7$, we determine the number of inequivalent nice bases, which can be $0$, $1$, o…

We consider a method popular in the literature of associating a two-step nilpotent Lie algebra with a finite simple graph. We prove that the two-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated with two graphs are Lie isomorphic if and only if the graphs from which they arise are isomorphic.

Here we determine all nilpotent Lie algebras l with dim l'=2 which are used in this scheme. Furthermore, we classify all nilpotent met…

In this work we study the problem of existence of symplectic structures on free nilpotent Lie algebras. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for even dimensional ones. The one dimensional central extension for odd dimensional free nilpotent Lie algebras is also considered.

We introduce a combinatorial method to construct indefinite Ricci-flat metrics on nice nilpotent Lie groups. We prove that every nilpotent Lie group of dimension $\leq6$, every nice nilpotent Lie group of dimension $\leq7$ and every two-step nilpotent Lie group attached to a graph admits such a metric. We construct inf…
