Lie group structures on groups of diffeomorphisms and applications to CR manifolds

M. Salah Baouendi, Linda Preiss Rothschild, Jörg Winkelmann, Dimitri Zaitsev (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give general sufficient conditions to guarantee that a given subgroup of the group of diffeomorphisms of a smooth or real-analytic manifold has a compatible Lie group structure. These results, together with recent work concerning jet parametrization and complete systems for CR automorphisms, are then applied to determine when the global CR automorphism group of a CR manifold is a Lie group in an appropriate topology.

Lie groupoids of mappings taking values in a Lie groupoid

Habib Amiri, Helge Glöckner, Alexander Schmeding (2020)

Archivum Mathematicum

Endowing differentiable functions from a compact manifold to a Lie group with the pointwise group operations one obtains the so-called current groups and, as a special case, loop groups. These are prime examples of infinite-dimensional Lie groups modelled on locally convex spaces. In the present paper, we generalise this construction and show that differentiable mappings on a compact manifold (possibly with boundary) with values in a Lie groupoid form infinite-dimensional Lie groupoids which we...

Lie symmetry of a class of nonlinear boundary value problems with free boundaries

Roman Cherniha, Sergii Kovalenko (2011)

Banach Center Publications

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 groups with one conjugacy class of Cartan subgroups

Mladen Božičević (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

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...
