Lie groups with no left invariant complex structures
A class of (1 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs), modeling the process of melting and evaporation of solid materials, is studied by means of the classical Lie symmetry method. A new definition of invariance in Lie's sense for BVP is presented and applied to the class of BVPs in question.
Limit formulas for the computation of the canonical measure on a nilpotent coadjoint orbit in terms of the canonical measures on regular semisimple coadjoint orbits arise naturally in the study of invariant eigendistributions on a reductive Lie algebra. In the present paper we consider a particular type of the limit formula for canonical measures which was proposed by Rossmann. The main technical tool in our analysis are the results of Schmid and Vilonen on the equivariant sheaves on the flag variety...
Let be a connected complex reductive group where is a finite-dimensional complex vector space. Let and let . Following Raïs we say that the orbit is characteristic for if the identity component of is . If is semisimple, we say that is semi-characteristic for if the identity component of is an extension of by a torus. We classify the -orbits which are not (semi)-characteristic in many cases.
