چکیده
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of isometric immersions of a simply connected Riemannian manifold into a two-step nilpotent Lie group. This comprises the case of immersions into H-type groups. MSC 2000: 53C42, 53C30

An Existence Theorem for G-structure Preserving Affine Immersions
We prove an existence result for local and global G-structure preserving affine immersions between affine manifolds. Several examples are discussed in the context of Riemannian and semi-Riemannian geometry, including the case of isometric immersions into Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant metric, and the case of isometric immersions into products of space forms.
متن کاملThe Large Scale Geometry of Nilpotent Lie Groups
In this paper, we prove results concerning the large scale geometry of connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie groups equipped with left invariant Riemannian metrics. Precisely, we prove that there do not exist quasi-isometric embeddings of such a nilpotent Lie group into either a CAT0 metric space or an Alexandrov metric space. The main technical aspect of this work is the proof of a limited...
متن کاملHyperkähler Torsion Structures Invariant by Nilpotent Lie Groups
We study HKT structures on nilpotent Lie groups and on associated nilmanifolds. We exhibit three weak HKT structures on R which are homogeneous with respect to extensions of Heisenberg type Lie groups. The corresponding hypercomplex structures are of a special kind, called abelian. We prove that on any 2-step nilpotent Lie group all invariant HKT structures arise from abelian hypercomplex struc...
متن کاملBounds for the dimension of the $c$-nilpotent multiplier of a pair of Lie algebras
In this paper, we study the Neumann boundary value problem of a class of nonlinear divergence type diffusion equations. By a priori estimates, difference and variation techniques, we establish the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of this problem.
متن کاملIsometric Immersions into 3-dimensional Homogeneous Manifolds
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold to be locally isometrically immersed into a 3-dimensional homogeneous manifold with a 4-dimensional isometry group. The condition is expressed in terms of the metric, the second fundamental form, and data arising from an ambient Killing field. This class of 3-manifolds includes in particular the Berger spheres,...
