Non-associative local Lie groups.
We obtain upper and lower estimates for the Green function for a second order noncoercive differential operator on a homogeneous manifold of negative curvature.
Let G be a real connected Lie group with polynomial volume growth endowed with its Haar measuredx. Given a C² positive bounded integrable function M on G, we give a sufficient condition for an L² Poincaré inequality with respect to the measure M(x)dx to hold on G. We then establish a nonlocal Poincaré inequality on G with respect to M(x)dx. We also give analogous Poincaré inequalities on Riemannian manifolds and deal with the case of Hardy inequalities.
We present a nonstandard hull construction for locally uniform groups in a spirit similar to Luxemburg's construction of the nonstandard hull of a uniform space. Our nonstandard hull is a local group rather than a global group. We investigate how this construction varies as one changes the family of pseudometrics used to construct the hull. We use the nonstandard hull construction to give a nonstandard characterization of Enflo's notion of groups that are uniformly free from small subgroups. We...
