Locally compact groups which are just not compact
2010
A Just-Non-Compact group, or briefly a JNC group, is a Hausdorff topological group which is not a compact group but all of whose proper Hausdorff quotients are compact groups. Intuitively, it is clear that these groups are rich in compact quotients. Locally compact JNC groups are largely described in the present paper.
On compact Just-Non-Lie groups
2007
A compact group is called a compact Just-Non-Lie group or a compact JNL group if it is not a Lie group but all of its proper Hausdorff quotient groups are Lie groups. We show that a compact JNL group is profinite and a compact nilpotent JNL group is the additive group of p -adic integers for some prime. Examples show that this fails for compact pronilpotent and solvable groups.
A short survey on Lie theory and Finsler geometry
2017
The aim of this chapter is to provide readers with a common thread to the many topics dealt with in this book, which is intermediate and which aims at postgraduate students and young researchers, wishing to intrigue those who are not experts in some of the topics. We also hope that this book will contribute in encouraging new collaborations among disciplines which have stemmed from related problems. In this context, we take the opportunity to recommend the book by Hawkins [18]. A basic bibliography is outlined between the lines.
