Variational calculus on Lie algebroids

Eduardo Martínez (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

It is shown that the Lagrange's equations for a Lagrangian system on a Lie algebroid are obtained as the equations for the critical points of the action functional defined on a Banach manifold of curves. The theory of Lagrangian reduction and the relation with the method of Lagrange multipliers are also studied.

Varieties of topological groups, Lie groups and SIN-groups

Karl Hofmann, Sidney Morris, Markus Stroppel (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In this paper we answer three open problems on varieties of topological groups by invoking Lie group theory. We also reprove in the present context that locally compact groups with arbitrarily small invariant identity neighborhoods can be approximated by Lie groups

Weak continuity properties of topologized groups

J. Cao, R. Drozdowski, Zbigniew Piotrowski (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We explore (weak) continuity properties of group operations. For this purpose, the Novak number and developability number are applied. It is shown that if ( G , · , τ ) is a regular right (left) semitopological group with dev ( G ) < Nov ( G ) such that all left (right) translations are feebly continuous, then ( G , · , τ ) is a topological group. This extends several results in literature.

Wildness in the product groups

G. Hjorth (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Non-abelian Polish groups arising as countable products of countable groups can be tame in arbitrarily complicated ways. This contrasts with some results of Solecki who revealed a very different picture in the abelian case.
