Classification of isometries of hyperbolic 3-space
Denote the upper half space by $\mathcal{H}_{3}=\Bbb{C}\times (0,\infty)$. A point $P \in \mathcal{H}_{3}$ is given as, $P=(z, t)=(x, y, t)=z+t j$ where $z=x+i y$ and $j=(0,0,1) .$ The group $P S L_{2}...

Homeomorphism type of the horofunction boundary for nilpotent Lie groups
Consider a metric space $(X,d)$ and fix a base point $w$. A horofunction is a function of the form
$$\beta_y(x)=d(x,y)-d(w,y).$$
The map $y\mapsto \beta_y$ is an embedding of $X$ into the space of $1$-...

Orbits of Product Lie Groups Action
Hi to all,
Let $G$ be a Lie group of linear isometries of $\mathbb{R}^n_{\nu}$ ($\mathbb{R}^n_{\nu}$ is the semi-Euclidean space) and $G_1$ ,$G_2$ two Lie subgroups of $G$. Let $G_1 \times G_2$ as ...
