This paper deals essentially with affine or projective transformations of Lie groups endowed with a flat left invariant affine or projective structure. These groups are called flat affine or flat projective Lie groups. Our main results determine Lie groups admitting flat bi-invariant affine or projective structures. These groups could play an essential role in the study of homogeneous spaces $M=G/H$ admitting flat affine or flat projective structures invariant under the natural action of $G$ on $M$. A. Medina asked several years ago if the group of affine transformations of a flat affine Lie group is a flat projective Lie group. In this work we provide a partial possitive answer to this question.

Let $G$ be a connected, simply-connected, compact simple Lie group. In this paper, we show that the isometry group of $G$ with a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannan metric is compact. Furthermore, the identity component of the isometry group is compact if $G$ is not simply-connected.
We introduce a systematic method to produce left-invariant, non-Ricci-flat Einstein metrics of indefinite signature on nice nilpotent Lie groups. On a nice nilpotent Lie group, we give a simple algebraic characterization of non-Ricci-flat left-invariant Einstein metrics in both the class of metrics for which the nice basis is orthogonal and a more general class associated to order two permutations of the nice basis. We obtain classifications in dimension 8 and, under the assumption that the root matrix is surjective, dimension 9; moreover, we prove that Einstein nilpotent Lie groups of nonzero scalar curvature exist in every dimension $geq 8$.
In this paper an alternative definition of the Rumin complex $(E_0^bullet,d_c)$ is presented, one that relies on a different concept of weights of forms. In this way, the Rumin complex can be constructed on any nilpotent Lie group equipped with a Carnot-Caratheodory metric. Moreover, this construction allows for the direct application of previous non-vanishing results of $ell^{q,p}$ cohomology to all nilpotent Lie groups that admit a positive grading.
We study the Ricci tensor of left-invariant pseudoriemannian metrics on Lie groups. For an appropriate class of Lie groups that contains nilpotent Lie groups, we introduce a variety with a natural $mathrm{GL}(n,mathbb{R})$ action, whose orbits parametrize Lie groups with a left-invariant metric; we show that the Ricci operator can be identified with the moment map relative to a natural symplectic structure. From this description we deduce that the Ricci operator is the derivative of the scalar curvature $s$ under gauge transformations of the metric, and show that Lie algebra derivations with nonzero trace obstruct the existence of Einstein metrics with $s eq0$. Using the notion of nice Lie algebra, we give the first example of a left-invariant Einstein metric with $s eq0$ on a nilpotent Lie group. We show that nilpotent Lie groups of dimension $leq 6$ do not admit such a metric, and a similar result holds in dimension $7$ with the extra assumption that the Lie algebra is nice.
We introduce a category of rigid geometries on singular spaces which are leaf spaces of foliations and are considered as leaf manifolds. We single out a special category $mathfrak F_0$ of leaf manifolds containing the orbifold category as a full subcategory. Objects of $mathfrak F_0$ may have non-Hausdorff topology unlike the orbifolds. The topology of some objects of $mathfrak F_0$ does not satisfy the separation axiom $T_0$. It is shown that for every ${mathcal N}in Ob(mathfrak F_0)$ a rigid geometry $zeta$ on $mathcal N$ admits a desingularization. Moreover, for every such $mathcal N$ we prove the existence and the uniqueness of a finite dimensional Lie group structure on the automorphism group $Aut(zeta)$ of the rigid geometry $zeta$ on $mathcal{N}$.
