We establish the local Langlands conjecture for small rank general spin groups $GSpin_4$ and $GSpin_6$ as well as their inner forms. We construct appropriate $L$-packets and prove that these $L$-packets satisfy the properties expected of…
We show that stationary characters on irreducible lattices $\Gamma < G$ of higher-rank connected semisimple Lie groups are conjugation invariant, that is, they are genuine characters. This result has several applications in representation…
It is proved that every locally conformal flat Riemannian manifold all of whose Jacobi operators have constant eigenvalues along every geodesic is with constant principal Ricci curvatures. A local classification (up to an isometry) of…
We set up a connection between the theory of spherical designs and the question of minima of Epstein's zeta function. More precisely, we prove that a Euclidean lattice, all layers of which hold a 4-design, achieves a local minimum of the…
We study degenerations of Grassmannians constructed using convex lattice configurations in Bruhat-Tits buildings. Using techniques from quiver representations, we analyze their special fibers, which are explicitly described as quiver…
We consider models of random groups in which the typical group is of intermediate rank (in particular, it is not hyperbolic). These models are parallel to M. Gromov's well-known constructions and include for example a "density model" for…
Dynamical coherent structure (pattern) formation in the Klein-Gordon lattice excited by periodic external field near the optical resonance is studied. It is shown that besides spatial patterns discovered recently (V.M.Burlakov,…
We give a new existence proof for the rank 2^d even lattices usually called the Barnes-Wall lattices, and establish new results on uniqueness, structure and transitivity of the automorphism group on certain kinds of sublattices. Our proofs…
Motivated by Witten's work (arXiv:hep-th/9312104), we propose the Verlinde/Grassmannian correspondence which relates the GL Verlinde numbers to the K-theoretic quasimap invariants of the Grassmannian. We recover these two types of…
We present constructions and results about GDDs with two groups and block size 6. We study those GDDs in which each block has configuration (s,t), that is in which each block has exactly s points from one of the two groups and t points from…
We classify the dual strongly perfect lattices in dimension 16. There are four pairs of such lattices, the famous Barnes-Wall lattice $\Lambda _{16}$, the extremal 5-modular lattice $N_{16}$, the odd Barnes-Wall lattice $O_{16}$ and its…
We study cocompact lattices with dense projections in a product $G_1 \times G_2$ of locally compact groups and show, under the assumption that each $G_i$ is a closed subgroup of the automorphism group $Aut(T_i)$ of a regular tree satisfying…
We complete the study of characters on higher rank semisimple lattices initiated in [BH19,BBHP20], the missing case being the case of lattices in higher rank simple algebraic groups in arbitrary characteristics. More precisely, we…
In this paper, we consider the existence of group divisible designs (GDDs) with block size $4$ and group sizes $4$ and $7$. We show that there exists a 4-GDD of type $4^t 7^s$ for all but a finite specified set of feasible values for $(t,…
We first prove an identity involving symmetric polynomials. This identity leads us into exploring the geometry of Lagrangian Grassmannians. As an insight applications, we obtain a formula for the integral over the Lagrangian Grassmannian of…
We investigate Poisson properties of Postnikov's map from the space of edge weights of a planar directed network into the Grassmannian. We show that this map is Poisson if the space of edge weights is equipped with a representative of a…
We consider general classes of lattice clusters, including various kinds of animals and trees on different lattices. We prove that if a given local configuration ("pattern") of sites and bonds can occur in large clusters, then it occurs at…
The stability of model proteins with designed sequences is assessed in terms of the number of sequences (obtained from the designed sequence through mutations), which fold into 5the ``native'' conformation. By a complete enumeration of the…
This paper is a continuation of our study of degenerations of Grassmannians in our last paper, called linked Grassmannians, constructed using convex lattice configurations in Bruhat-Tits buildings. We describe the geometry and topology of…
In an earlier paper (math.NT/9906019) we showed that any integral unimodular lattice L of rank n which is not isometric with Z^n has a characteristic vector of norm at most n-8. [A "characteristic vector" of L is a vector w in L such that…
