Exotic smooth structures on Lie groups?
If a topological group $G$ is also a topological manifold, it is well-known (Hilbert's 5th Probelm) that there is a unique analytic structure making it a Lie group.
However, for a compact Lie group $...

Homotopy properties of Lie groups
Let $G$ be a real connected Lie group. I am interested in its special homotopy properties, which distinguish it from other smooth manifolds
For example
$G$ is homotopy equivalent to a smooth compact ...

Connected topological/Lie group $H$ and $Q$, inflate $Q$-cocycle to coboundary in $H$
I am interested in finding mathematical examples and criteria of inflating $Q$-cocycle to coboundary in $H$, under the requirement:
(1) Both $H$ and $Q$ are connected topological groups or Lie groups (...

Automorphism group of indefinite orthogonal Lie group $G=O(p,q)$ vs that of a double covering group $\tilde{G}$
Previously I mentioned in Automorphism group of a Lie group $G$ vs that of a double covering group $\tilde{G}$: same or not? that the automorphism group of a Lie group 𝐺 may be the same as that of ...

Automorphism group of a Lie group $G$ vs that of a double covering group $\tilde{G}$: same or not? [duplicate]
Previously there are some counterexamples given in Automorphism group of a Lie group $G$ vs that of a covering group $\tilde G$: same or not? such that the automorphism group of a Lie group 𝐺 is not ...
