We develop algorithms and computer programs which verify criteria of properness of discrete group actions on semisimple homogeneous spaces. We apply these algorithms to find new examples of non-virtually abelian discontinuous group actions on homogeneous spaces which do not admit proper SL(2,R)-actions.
We determine the structure of solvable Lie groups endowed with invariant stretched non-positive Weyl connections and find classes of solvable Lie groups admitting and not admitting such connections. In dimension 4 we fully classify solvable Lie groups and compact solvmanifolds which admit invariant SNP connections.
Let G be a simple non-compact linear connected Lie group and H be a closed non-compact semisimple subgroup. We are interested in finding classes of homogeneous spaces G/H admitting proper actions of discrete non virtually abelian subgroups of G. We develop an algorithm for finding such homogeneous spaces. As a testing example we obtain a list of all non-compact homogeneous spaces G/H admitting proper action of a discrete and non virtually abelian subgroup of G in the case when G has rank at most 8, and H is a maximal proper semisimple subgroup.
We use a computer-aided approach to prove that there are no standard compact Clifford-Klein forms of homogeneous spaces of exceptional Lie groups. This yields further support for Kobayashi's conjecture about possible compact Clifford-Klein forms. On one hand, our approach is based on the algorithms developed in this work which eliminate the majority of possibilities. On the other hand, we complete the proof using the algorithmic methods of classifying semisimple subalgebras in simple real Lie algebras developed by Faccin and de Graaf, as well as by calculating invariants like a-hyperbolic rank.
We study the existence problem of proper actions of SL(2,R) on homogeneous spaces G/H of reductive type. Based on Kobayashi's properness criterion [Math. Ann. (1989)], we show that G/H admits a proper SL(2,R)-action via G if a maximally split abelian subspace of Lie H is included in the wall defined by a restricted root of Lie G. We also give a number of examples of such G/H.
