Equidistribution of Dense Subgroups on Nilpotent Lie Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Let Γ be a dense subgroup of a simply connected nilpotent Lie group G generated by a finite symmetric set S. We consider the n-ball Sn for the word metric induced by S on Γ. We show that Sn (with uniform measure) becomes equidistributed on G with respect to the Haar measure as n tends to infinity. We also prove the analogous result for random walk averages.

Some 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 کاملStepwise Square Integrable Representations: the Concept and Some Consequences
There are some new developments on Plancherel formula and growth of matrix coefficients for unitary representations of nilpotent Lie groups. These have several consequences for the geometry of weakly symmetric spaces and analysis on parabolic subgroups of real semisimple Lie groups, and to (infinite dimensional) locally nilpotent Lie groups. Many of these consequences are still under developmen...
متن کاملNilpotent groups with three conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups
Let $G$ be a finite group and $nu(G)$ denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of $G$. In this paper, all nilpotent groups $G$ with $nu(G)=3$ are classified.
متن کاملOn dimension of a special subalgebra of derivations of nilpotent Lie algebras
Let $L$ be a Lie algebra, $mathrm{Der}(L)$ be the set of all derivations of $L$ and $mathrm{Der}_c(L)$ denote the set of all derivations $alphainmathrm{Der}(L)$ for which $alpha(x)in [x,L]:={[x,y]vert yin L}$ for all $xin L$. We obtain an upper bound for dimension of $mathrm{Der}_c(L)$ of the finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra $L$ over algebraically closed fields. Also, we classi...
متن کاملGroups of homeomorphisms of one-manifolds, III: Nilpotent subgroups
This self-contained paper is part of a series [FF1, FF2] seeking to understand groups of homeomorphisms of manifolds in analogy with the theory of Lie groups and their discrete subgroups. Plante-Thurston proved that every nilpotent subgroup of Diff(S) is abelian. One of our main results is a sharp converse: Diff(S) contains every finitely-generated, torsion-free nilpotent group.
