This article describes an entirely algebraic construction for developing conformal geometries, which provide models for, among others, the Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic geometries. On one hand, their relationship is usually shown…
On June 5, 2007 the second author delivered a talk at the Journees de l'Institut Elie Cartan entitled "Finite symmetry groups in complex geometry". This paper begins with an expanded version of that talk which, in the spirit of the…
These notes correspond roughly to the two minicourses prepared by the authors for the workshop on Analytic Microlocal Analysis, held at Northwestern University in May 2013. The first part of the text gives an elementary introduction to some…
This book is mainly an exposition of the author's works and his joint works with his former students on explicit representations of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, related partial differential equations, linear orthogonal algebraic…
Small representations of a group bring us to large symmetries in a representation space. Analysis on minimal representations utilises large symmetries in their geometric models, and serves as a driving force in creating new interesting…
This is an expository article, closely following the author's lecture at the 2014 Journal Differential Geometry conference.
We study surfaces in Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^3$ that are minimal for a log-linear density $\phi(x,y,z)=\alpha x+\beta y+\gamma y$, where $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ are real numbers not all zero. We prove that if a surface is $\phi$-minimal…
Poisson algebras have become an essential topic in mathematics with a rich structure and wide applicability. Despite numerous resources available on Poisson structures, the algebraic side of the story remains relatively less explored. This…
In this expository article we revisit the Bernstein problem for several geometric PDEs including the minimal surface, Monge-Amp\`{e}re, and special Lagrangian equations. We also discuss the minimal surface system where appropriate. The…
This is an extended abstract of the talk given in the Oberwolfach miniworkshop "Nichols algebras and Weyl groupoids" in October 2012.
These notes are a record of lectures given in the Workshop on Connections Between Algebra and Geometry at the University of Regina, May 29--June 1, 2012. The lectures were meant as an introduction to current research problems related to fat…
We obtain new results on the geometry of Hilbert modular varieties in positive characteristic and morphisms between them. Using these results and methods of rigid geometry, we develop a theory of canonical subgroups for abelian varieties…
We survey results on compact Clifford-Klein forms of homogeneous spaces, with a focus on recent contributions and organized around approaches via topology, geometry and dynamics. In addition, we survey results on moduli spaces of compact…
We introduce the notion of generalized MR log canonical surfaces and establish the minimal model theory for generalized MR log canonical surfaces in full generality.
These are notes prepared for ICRA workshop at Torun, Poland, August 2007. In the first part, we explain results on canonical basic sets by Geck and Jacon and propose a categorification framework which is suitable for our example of Hecke…
This is the text of a series of five lectures given by the author at the "Second Annual Spring Institute on Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras" held at Vanderbilt University in May 2004. It is meant as an overview of recent…
This paper has been withdrawn because of a gap in the proof of Lemma 3.10. The main reults in this paper have now been proved, and extended in the following papers: S. Ariki and A. Mathas, The number of simple modules of the Hecke algebras…
This is a report on some of the main developments in birational geometry in the last few years focusing on the minimal model program, Fano varieties, singularities and related topics, in characteristic zero.
This file, provided as bibliographical information, contains the table of contents and editors' foreword from the proceedings of the July 1996 Warwick EuroConference on Algebraic Geometry.
We construct explicit minimal models for the (hyper)operads governing modular, cyclic and ordinary operads, and wheeled properads, respectively. Algebras for these models are homotopy versions of the corresponding structures.
