1. The idea of alien life (proposed many years ago) has not yet been proven- Participle phrase.

4. (Talking) is not allowed in class- Gerund
Gerund in a sentence functions as a noun. Hence in a sentence, a gerund will act as direct objects, subjects, subject complements, an object of prepositions or indirect objects.
