Study describes isometry groups of specific Lie groups.

Compact Lie groups have compact isometry groups with pseudo-Riemannian metrics.

We study the varieties of invariant totally geodesic submanifolds of isometries of the spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces in each finite dimension. We show that the dimensions of the connected components of these varieties determine the orbit type (or the z-class) of the isometry. For this purpose, we introduce…

We prove that on any closed Riemannian manifold $(M_1\times M_2,g)$, with $\rank\Hom_1(M_1)\neq0$ and $\dim(M_2)\geq2$, every isometry homotopic to the identity admits infinitely many isometry-invariant geodesics.

Study on moduli space of bi-invariant metrics in Lie groups.

In this paper we study isometry-invariant Finsler metrics on inner product spaces over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, i.e. the Finsler metrics which do not change under the action of all isometries of the inner product space. We give a new proof of the analytic description of all such metrics. In this article the most g…

Survey on quasi-isometries of group pairs and their invariants.

Study quasi-isometry invariants of square complexes and their applications.

We prove that on closed Riemannian manifolds with infinite abelian, but not cyclic, fundamental group, any isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. We conjecture that the result remains true if the fundamental group is infinite cyclic. We also formulate a generalization …

New concept SB-generation helps classify transformation groups.

The study explores maximal symmetry in Ricci solitons on Lie groups.

Bowditch's JSJ tree for splittings over 2-ended subgroups is a quasi-isometry invariant for 1-ended hyperbolic groups which are not cocompact Fuchsian. Our main result gives an explicit, computable "visual" construction of this tree for certain hyperbolic right-angled Coxeter groups. As an application of our constructi…

Study finds all isometries for specific Lie groups.

This work generalizes the results of an earlier paper by the second author, from Randers metrics to $(α,β)$-metrics. Let $F$ be an $(α,β)$-metric which is defined by a left invariant vector field and a left invariant Riemannian metric on a simply connected real Lie group $G$. We consider the automorphism and isometry g…

We show that on a closed Riemannian manifold with fundamental group isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}$, other than the circle, every isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. This completes a recent result of the second author.

We consider sub-Riemannian spaces admitting an isometry group that is maximal in the sense that any linear isometry between the horizontal tangent spaces is realized by a global isometry. We will show that these spaces have a canonical choice of partial connection on their horizontal bundle, which is determined by isom…

Complex captures group properties, invariant under quasi-isometry.

The paper proves that relative Dehn functions are invariant under quasi-isometry.

Study of symmetries in 4D Lie groups.

We study isometries in the contact sub-pseudo-Riemannian geometry. In particular we give an upper bound on the dimension of the isometry group of a general sub-pseudo-Riemannian manifold and prove that the maximal dimension is attained for the left invariant structures on the Heisenberg group.

In this paper we consider simply connected Lie groups equipped with left invariant Randers metrics which arise from left invariant Riemannian metrics and left invariant vector fields. Then we study the intersection between automorphism and isometry groups of these spaces. Finally it has shown that for any left invarian…

Study of symmetries in 3D Lie groups, determining index and moduli space properties.

We give explicit formulæ for Noether invariants associated to Killing vector fields for the variational problem of minimal and constant mean curvature surfaces in 3-manifolds. In the case of homogeneous spaces, such invariants are the flux (associated to translations) and the torque (associated to rotations). Then we f…

The study classifies horo-shrinkers in hyperbolic space under different isometries.

We relate $L^{q,p}$-cohomology of bounded geometry Riemannian manifolds to a purely metric space notion of $\ell^{q,p}$-cohomology, packing cohomology. This implies quasi-isometry invariance of $L^{q,p}$-cohomology together with its multiplicative structure. The result partially extends to the Rumin $L^{q,p}$-cohomolog…

The paper classifies surfaces in the Heisenberg space invariant under specific isometries.

Study of isometries in spacetimes without observer horizons.

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a real finite-dimensional Lie algebra equipped with a symmetric bilinear form $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle$. We assume that $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle$ is nil-invariant. This means that every nilpotent operator in the smallest algebraic Lie subalgebra of endomomorphims containing the adjoint repres…

A Fuchsian polyhedron in hyperbolic space is a polyhedral surface invariant under the action of a Fuchsian group of isometries (i.e. a group of isometries leaving globally invariant a totally geodesic surface, on which it acts cocompactly). The induced metric on a convex Fuchsian polyhedron is isometric to a hyperbolic…

We show that isometries between open sets of Carnot groups are affine. This result generalizes a result of Hamenstadt. Our proof does not rely on her proof. In addition, we study global isometries of general homogeneous manifolds equipped with left-invariant subFinsler distances. We show that each isometry is determine…

We introduce the notion of \textit{relative $L^p$-cohomology} as a quasi-isometry invariant defined for Gromov-hyperbolic spaces, and apply it to the problem of quasi-isometry classification of Heintze groups. More precisely, we explicitly construct non-zero relative $L^p$-cohomology classes on a Heintze group of the f…

We study surfaces of constant mean curvature which are invariant by oneparameter group of either rotational isometries or parabolic isometries, immersed into the homogeneous manifold PSL2(R,tau). Also, we give some applications.

We give sufficient conditions on a function invariant under the action of an isometry group to be Branson's Q-curvature of a metric in a given conformal class, using the conformal GJMS operators.

The closed 3-manifolds of constant positive curvature were classified long ago by Seifert and Threlfall. Using well-known information about the orthogonal group O(4), we calculate their full isometry groups Isom(M), determine which elliptic 3-manifolds admit Seifert fiberings that are invariant under all isometries, an…

We provide a proof and analyze the asymptotic behavior of a formula for the linking number of line segments.

Modified Wasserstein metric for Gaussian distributions, invariant to isometries.

Research explores Lorentzian distances on a specific geometric plane.

Investigates Darboux rectifying curves on smooth surfaces.

This work deals with the structure of the isometry group of pseudo-Riemannian 2-step nilmanifolds. We study the action by isometries of several groups and we construct examples showing substantial differences with the Riemannain situation; for instance the action of the nilradical of the isometry group does not need to…

The paper explores additional structures on Morse boundaries to distinguish hyperbolic spaces up to quasi-isometry.

Computes tube formulas for valuations in complex space forms.

Given an affine isometry of $\R^3$ with hyperbolic linear part, its Margulis invariant measures signed Lorentzian displacement along an invariant spacelike line. In order for a group generated by hyperbolic isometries to act properly on $\R^3$, the sign of the Margulis invariant must be constant over the group. We show…

We introduce a new quasi-isometry invariant of 2-dimensional right-angled Coxeter groups, the hypergraph index, that partitions these groups into infinitely many quasi-isometry classes, each containing infinitely many groups. Furthermore, the hypergraph index of any right-angled Coxeter group can be directly computed f…

The study proves a generic multiplicity one theorem for $G$-invariant minimal hypersurfaces.

In this work we investigate solvable and nilpotent Lie groups with special metrics. The metrics of interest are left-invariant Einstein and algebraic Ricci soliton metrics. Our main result shows that the existence of a such a metric is intrinsic to the underlying Lie algebra. More precisely, we show how one may determi…

We study the existence of a non-spacelike isometry, ζ, in higher dimensional Kundt spacetimes with constant scalar curvature invariants (CSI). We present the particular forms for the null or timelike Killing vectors and a set of constraints for the metric functions in each case. Within the class of N dimensional CSI Ku…

We introduce a new class of zero-dimensional weighted complete intersections, by abstracting the essential features of rational cohomology algebras of equal rank homogeneous spaces of compact connected Lie groups. We prove that, on a 1-connected closed manifold M whose rational cohomology algebra belongs to this class,…
