Smooth actions of Lie groups and Lie algebras on manifolds (Q1761401): Difference between revisions

In this survey article, the author looks for connections between algebraic invariants of Lie algebras, topological invariants of manifolds, and dynamical properties of actions. The motivating questions are whether a given Lie group or Lie algebra acts effectively on a given manifold, how smooth such an action can be and what can be said about orbits and kernels.
