چکیده
who had a major influence on my mathematical development and who always had time for me and my questions. I am especially indebted to Prof. Hilgert for his guidance. He encouraged me to spend a semester abroad and proposed the topic of this thesis to me. I am also grateful to the " Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes " for two brilliant summer academies and the opportunity to meet a lot of great people. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family and my friends for their unrelenting support and encouragement. With the following declaration I affirm to have written this thesis on my own and using only the resources listed in the bibliography. Hiermit versichere ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbstständig und nur unter Verwendung der angegebe-nen Quellen und Hilfsmittel verfasst zu haben.

متن کاملSome Two–Step and Three–Step Nilpotent Lie Groups with Small Automorphism Groups
We construct examples of two-step and three-step nilpotent Lie groups whose automorphism groups are “small” in the sense of either not having a dense orbit for the action on the Lie group, or being nilpotent (the latter being stronger). From the results we also get new examples of compact manifolds covered by two-step simply connected nilpotent Lie groups which do not admit Anosov automorphisms...
متن کاملFoliations and Noncompact Transformation Groups
Introduction. Let G be a Lie group and M a compact C manifold. In [2] Anosov actions of G on M are defined and proved to be structurally stable. In this announcement we are concerned with the foliation ^ of M defined by the orbits of G. Under the assumption that G is connected, # is C stable (3). If G is connected and nilpotent, G has a compact orbit (4). If G is merely solvable, however, there...
متن کاملACTION OF SEMISIMPLE ISOMERY GROUPS ON SOME RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS OF NONPOSITIVE CURVATURE
A manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group G is called G-manifold. In this paper we consider a complete Riemannian manifold M with the action of a closed and connected Lie subgroup G of the isometries. The dimension of the orbit space is called the cohomogeneity of the action. Manifolds having actions of cohomogeneity zero are called homogeneous. A classic theorem about Riemannian manifolds...
متن کاملOn a Theorem of Montgomery and Samelson
In their paper on fibrations with singularities Montgomery and Samelson showed that if a compact connected Lie group acts differentiably and effectively on a sphere and if there is one stationary point, then the remaining orbits cannot all be of the same dimension [2]. In our note we will examine transformation groups in which all orbits have the same dimension. As a corollary, we shall extend ...
متن کاملOn ergodic ZZ-actions on Lie groups by automorphisms
In response to a question raised by Halmos in his book on ergodic theory ([10], page 29) it was proved that a locally compact group admits a (bicontinuous) group automorphism acting ergodically (with respect to the Haar measure as a quasiinvariant measure) only if it is compact (see [9] for historical details and a generalisation to affine transformations; see [5] for the case of Lie groups). A...
