Characterizing the big Bruhat cell of the universal Chevalley groups over $\mathbb C$
Is there a simple characterization of the big Bruhat cell of the universal (simply-connected) Chevalley groups over $\mathbb C$?
For example, it is known that the Borel subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_n(\...

How to prove a bracket is super anti-commutative?
On page 12 of the paper, there is a formula about super Poisson bracket on a Lie super group $G$:
\begin{align}
\{\phi, \psi\} = \sum_{\mu, \nu} (-1)^{|\phi||\nu|} r^{\mu \nu} ( R_{\mu} \phi R_{\nu} \...

A Lie group whose Lie algebra is equal to (the Lie algebra? of )all functions with fibrewise polynomial growth
Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold. We denote by $\mathfrak{g}$ the space of all smooth function $f:TM\to \mathbb{R}$ with fibre wise polynomial growth. Is it a Lie algebra wrt the Poisson bracket ...

The largest abelian subgroups of a Lie group
Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group. Denote $d(G)$ as the maximal integer $p$ such
that $\mathbb{Z}^p$ is isomorphic to a discrete subgroup of $G$ and $c(G)$ is the maximal integer $q$ such that $\...
