Lie groups as permutation groups: Ulam's problem in the nilpotent case
March 23, 2022
Ulam asked whether every connected Lie group can be represented on a countable structure. This is known in the linear case. We establish it for the first family of non-linear groups, namely in the nilpotent case. Further context is discussed to illustrate the relevance of nilpotent groups for Ulam's problem.
