Finite-dimensional Lie subalgebras of algebras with continuous inversion

Daniel Beltiţă, Karl-Hermann Neeb (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We investigate the finite-dimensional Lie groups whose points are separated by the continuous homomorphisms into groups of invertible elements of locally convex algebras with continuous inversion that satisfy an appropriate completeness condition. We find that these are precisely the linear Lie groups, that is, the Lie groups which can be faithfully represented as matrix groups. Our method relies on proving that certain finite-dimensional Lie subalgebras of algebras with continuous inversion...

Transitive conformal holonomy groups

Jesse Alt (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

For (M, [g]) a conformal manifold of signature (p, q) and dimension at least three, the conformal holonomy group Hol(M, [g]) ⊂ O(p + 1, q + 1) is an invariant induced by the canonical Cartan geometry of (M, [g]). We give a description of all possible connected conformal holonomy groups which act transitively on the Möbius sphere S p,q, the homogeneous model space for conformal structures of signature (p, q). The main part of this description is a list of all such groups which also act...

Isometries between groups of invertible elements in C*-algebras

Osamu Hatori, Keiichi Watanabe (2012)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We describe all surjective isometries between open subgroups of the groups of invertible elements in unital C*-algebras. As a consequence the two C*-algebras are Jordan *-isomorphic if and only if the groups of invertible elements in those C*-algebras are isometric as metric spaces.

Nonassociativity in VOA theory and finite group theory

Jr. Griess, Robert L. (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We discuss some examples of nonassociative algebras which occur in VOA (vertex operator algebra) theory and finite group theory. Methods of VOA theory and finite group theory provide a lot of nonassociative algebras to study. Ideas from nonassociative algebra theory could be useful to group theorists and VOA theorists.

Self-similar Lie algebras

Laurent Bartholdi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We give a general definition of branched, self-similar Lie algebras, and show that important examples of Lie algebras fall into that class. We give sufficient conditions for a self-similar Lie algebra to be nil, and prove in this manner that the self-similar algebras associated with Grigorchuk’s and Gupta–Sidki’s torsion groups are nil as well as self-similar.We derive the same results for a class of examples constructed by Petrogradsky, Shestakov and Zelmanov.
