This paper develops a unified framework for observables in n-plectic geometry, extending the L_infty-algebra of Hamiltonian (n-1)-forms to Hamiltonian forms of all degrees via a degree-shifting Grassmann variable u that encodes submanifold…

We describe the structure of the Whittaker or Gelfand-Graev module on a $n$-fold metaplectic cover of a $p$-adic group $G$ at both the Iwahori and spherical level. We express our answer in terms of the representation theory of a quantum…

The aim of this paper is to study algebraic K3 surfaces (defined over the complex number field) with a symplectic automorphism of prime order. In particular we consider the action of the automorphism on the second cohomology with integer…

The idea of the metaplectic theta function was introduced by Tomio Kubota in the 1960s. These theta functions are constructed as residues of Eisenstein series and are only known completely in the case of double covers and, up to the…

Given a closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ we introduce a certain quantity associated to a tuple of conjugacy classes in the universal cover of the group ${\hbox{\it Ham}} (M,\omega)$ by means of the Hofer metric on ${\hbox{\it Ham}}…

We propose a conjecture extending the classical construction of elliptic units to complex cubic number fields $K$. The conjecture concerns special values of the elliptic gamma function, a holomorphic function of three complex variables…

Using a previous classification result on symmetric additive 2-cocycles, we collect a variety of facts about the Lubin-Tate cohomology of formal groups to compute the 2-primary component of the scheme of symmetric multiplicative 2-cocycles.…

We convolve a theta function on an $n$-fold cover of $GL_3$ with an automorphic form on an $n'$-fold cover of $GL_2$ for suitable $n,n'$. To do so, we induce the theta function to the $n$-fold cover of $GL_4$ and use a Shalika integral. We…

We develop the local theory of the generalized doubling method for the $m$-fold central extension $Sp_{2n}^{(m)}$ of Matsumoto of the symplectic group. We define local $\gamma$-, $L$- and $\epsilon$-factors for pairs of genuine…

The aim of this paper is to define an n-1-cocycle $\sigma$ on $\GL_{n}(\Q)$ with values in a certain space $\hD$ of distributions on $\A_f^{n}\setminus\{0\}$. Here $\A_f$ denotes the ring of finite ad\`{e}les of $\Q$, and the distributions…

Spherical Whittaker functions on the metaplectic n-fold cover of GL(r+1) over a nonarchimedean local field containing n distinct n-th roots of unity may be expressed as the partition functions of statistical mechanical systems that are…

We determine the adjoint trace field of gluings of general hyperbolic manifolds. This provides a new method to prove the nonarithmeticity of gluings, which can be applied to the classical construction of Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro (and…

The purpose of the notes is to reiterate and expand the viewpoint, outlined in the paper math.AG/0110142 of T. Coates and the author, which recasts the concept of Frobenius manifold in terms of linear symplectic geometry and exposes the…

The first-order formulation of the G/K symmetric space sigma model of the scalar cosets of the supergravity theories is discussed when there is coupling of (m-1)-form matter fields. The Lie superalgebra which enables the dualized coset…

Starting from some linear algebraic data (a Weyl-group invariant bilinear form) and some arithmetic data (a bilinear Steinberg symbol), we construct a cover of a Kac-Moody group generalizing the work of Matsumoto. Specializing our…

Let $A = \bigoplus_{n=0}^{\infty}A_n$ be a connected graded $k$-algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ (thus $A_0=k$). Assume that a finite abelian group $G$, of order coprime to the characteristic of $k$, acts on $A$ by graded…

Let $M$ be a closed K-contact $(2n+1)$-manifold equipped with a quasi-regular K-contact structure. Rukimbira proved that the Reeb vector field $\xi$ of this structure has at least $n+1$ closed characteristics. We note that $\xi$ has at…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not 2 or 3. Let $V$ be the $k$-space of binary cubic polynomials. The natural symplectic structure on $k^2$ promotes to a symplectic structure $\omega$ on $V$ and from the natural symplectic action of…

Let $p$ be an irregular prime. Let $K=\Q(\zeta)$ be the $p$-cyclotomic field. From Kummer and class field theory, there exist Galois extensions $S/\Q$ of degree $p(p-1)$ such that $S/K$ is a cyclic unramified extension of degree $[S:K]=p$.…
