Amenability induced by amenable homomorphlc images.
We study a problem of isometric compact 2-step nilmanifolds using some information on their geodesic flows, where is a simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group with a left invariant metric and is a cocompact discrete subgroup of isometries of . Among various works concerning this problem, we consider the algebraic aspect of it. In fact, isometry groups of simply connected Riemannian manifolds can be characterized in a purely algebraic way, namely by normalizers. So, suitable factorization...
We discuss a concept of loopoid as a non-associative generalization of Brandt groupoid. We introduce and study also an interesting class of more general objects which we call semiloopoids. A differential version of loopoids is intended as a framework for Lagrangian discrete mechanics.
The study of Gaussian convolution semigroups is a subject at the crossroad between abstract and concrete problems in harmonic analysis. This article suggests selected open problems that are in large part motivated by joint work with Alexander Bendikov.
We generalize to the non-separable context a theorem of Levi characterizing Baire analytic spaces. This allows us to prove a joint-continuity result for non-separable normed groups, previously known only in the separable context.
The notions of left Bol and Bol-Bruck actions are introduced. A purely algebraic analogue of a Nono family (Lie triple family), the so called Sabinin-Nono family, is given. It is shown that any Sabinin-Nono family is a left Bol-Bruck action. Finally it is proved that any local Nono family is a local left Bol-Bruck action. On general matters see [L.V. Sabinin 91, 99].
