LR-algebras

In the study of NIL-affine actions on nilpotent Lie groups we introduced so called LR-structures on Lie algebras. The aim of this paper is to consider the existence question of LR-structures, and to start a structure theory of LR-algebras. We show that any Lie algebra admitting an LR-structure is 2-step solvable. Conversely we find several classes of 2-step solvable Lie algebras admitting an LR-structure, but also classes not admitting such a structure. We study also ideals in LR-algebras, and classify low-dimensional real LR-algebras.

Affine actions on Nilpotent Lie groups

To any connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group N, one can associate its group of affine transformations Aff(N). In this paper, we study simply transitive actions of a given nilpotent Lie group G on another nilpotent Lie group N, via such affine transformations. We succeed in translating the existence question of such a simply transitive affine action to a corresponding question on the Lie algebra level. As an example of the possible use of this translation, we then consider the case where dim(G)=dim(N) less than 6. Finally, we specialize to the case of abelian simply transitive affine actions on a given connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group. It turns out that such a simply transitive abelian affine action on N corresponds to a particular Lie compatible bilinear product on the Lie algebra of N, which we call an LR-structure.

The Auslander conjecture for NIL-affine crystallographic groups

Let N be a simply connected, connected real nilpotent Lie group of finite dimension n. We study subgroups $Γ$ in $\Aff (N)=N\rtimes \Aut (N)$ acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on N. This situation is a natural generalization of the so-called affine crystallographic groups. We prove that for all dimensions $1\le n\le 5$ the generalized Auslander conjecture holds, i.e., that such subgroups are virtually polycyclic.
