Let $G$ denote a reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$ and $x$ a nilpotent element of its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The Springer variety $\mathcal{B}_x$ is the closed subvariety of the flag variety $\mathcal{B}$ of $G$…

Let $G$ be a complex, connected, reductive algebraic group. In this paper we show analogues of the computations by Borho and MacPherson of the invariants and anti-invariants of the cohomology of the Springer fibres of the cone of nilpotent…

Let F be a field of characteristic different from 2, and let $F^{n}$ denote the vector space of n-tuples of elements in F. Let ${e_{1}, ... , e_{n}}$ denote the canonical basis of $F^{n}$. Let r and s be nonnegative integers such that r + s…

We show that the higher-order Weyl algebras over a field of characteristic zero, which are formally rigid as associative algebras, can be formally deformed in a nontrivial way as hom-associative algebras. We also show that these…

A particular orthogonal map on a finite dimensional real quadratic vector space (V,Q) with a non-degenerate quadratic form Q of any signature (p,q) is considered. It can be viewed as a correlation of the vector space that leads to a dual…

We develop an operator commutant version of the First Fundamental Theorem of invariant theory for the general linear quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_n)$ by using a double centralizer property inside a quantized Clifford algebra. In…

For each quadratic form Q in Quad(V) over a given vector space over a field R we have the Clifford algebra Cl(V,Q) defined as the quotient T(V)/I(Q) of the tensor algebra T(V) over the two-sided ideal generated by expressions of the form $x…

The first (associative) Weyl algebra is formally rigid in the classical sense. In this paper, we show that it can however be formally deformed in a nontrivial way when considered as a so-called hom-associative algebra, and that this…

We construct the $q$-deformed Clifford algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and study its properties. This allows us to define the $q$-deformed noncommutative Weil algebra $\mathcal{W}_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ for $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ and the…

We establish a Bruhat decomposition indexed by the wreath product $\Sigma_m\wr \Sigma_d$ between two symmetric groups -- note that $\Sigma_m\wr \Sigma_d$ is not a Coxeter group in general. We show that such a decomposition affords a…

Contrary to the expected behavior, we show the existence of non-invertible deformations of Lie algebras which can generate invariants for the coadjoint representation, as well as delete cohomology with values in the trivial or adjoint…

The Clifford algebraic formulation of the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) algebras is applied to recast the De Donder-Weyl Hamiltonian (DWH) theory as an algebraic description independent of the matrix representation of the DKP algebra. We show…

REVISED VERSION: We have re-organized the paper, and included some new results. Most important, we prove that the (truncated) Weil complexes compute the cyclic cohomology of the Hopf algebra (see the new Theorem 7.3). We also include a…

We study various kinds of Grassmannians or Lagrangian Grassmannians over $\mathbb{R}$, $\mathbb{C}$ or $\mathbb{H}$, all of which can be expressed as $\mathbb{G}/\mathbb{P}$ where $\mathbb{G}$ is a classical group and $\mathbb{P}$ is a…

We prove that the classical $W$-algebra associated to a nilpotent orbit in a simple Lie-algebra can be constructed by preforming bihamiltonian, Drinfeld-Sokolov or Dirac reductions. We conclude that the classical $W$-algebra depends only on…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring that is free of rank $k$ as an abelian group, $p$ a prime, and $SL(n,R)$ the special linear group. We show that the Lie algebra associated to the filtration of $SL(n,R)$ by $p$-congruence subgroups is…

Quantum Clifford Algebras (QCA), i.e. Clifford Hopf gebras based on bilinear forms of arbitrary symmetry, are treated in a broad sense. Five alternative constructions of QCAs are exhibited. Grade free Hopf gebraic product formulas are…

We give a complete study of the Clifford-Weyl algebra ${\mathcal C}(n,2k)$ from Bose-Fermi statistics, including Hochschild cohomology (with coefficients in itself). We show that ${\mathcal C}(n,2k)$ is rigid when $n$ is even or when $k…

We classify a class of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras related to the representations of the Clifford algebras in the following way. Let $J\colon \Cl(\mathbb R^{r,s})\toU$ be a representation of the Clifford algebra $\Cl(\mathbb R^{r,s})$…

We extend Kostant's results about $\mathfrak{g}$-invariants in the Clifford algebra $Cl(\mathfrak{g})$ of a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ to the relative case of $\mathfrak{k}$-invariants in the Clifford algebra…
