The automorphism groups of the 27 lines on the smooth cubic surface or the 28 bitangents to the general quartic plane curve are well-known to be closely related to the Weyl groups of $E\_6$ and $E\_7$. We show how classical…
Geometric Langlands duality is usually formulated as a statement about Riemann surfaces, but it can be naturally understood as a consequence of electric-magnetic duality of four-dimensional gauge theory. This duality in turn is naturally…
We determine the finite groups whose real irreducible representations have different degrees.
In this note we construct an infinite-dimensional Lie group structure on the group of vertical bisections of a regular Lie groupoid. We then identify the Lie algebra of this group and discuss regularity properties (in the sense of Milnor)…
We describe a geometric compactification of the moduli stack of left invariant complex structures on a fixed real Lie group or a fixed quotient. The extra points are CR structures transverse to a real foliation.
We introduce one of the most beautiful algebraic varieties known, a quintic hypersurface in projective five-space, which is invariant under the action of the Weyl group of $E_6$. This variety is intricately related with many other moduli…
The moduli spaces for Higgs bundles associated to real Lie groups and a closed Riemann surface have multiple connected components. This survey provides a compendium of results concerning the counting of these components in cases where the…
We determine all four-dimensional Lie groups which have harmonic curvature. As a consequence, a description of four-dimensional pp-wave Lie groups is obtained.
This is a survey article devoted to the study of real structures on complex algebraic varieties endowed with a reductive group action.
Using a description of the cohomology of local systems on the moduli space of abelian surfaces with a full level two structure, together with a computation of Euler characteristics we find the isotypical decomposition, under the symmetric…
This note provides a formula for the character of the Lie algebra of the fundamental group of a surface, viewed as a module over the symplectic group.
In this paper we give a geometric-combinatorial description of the cluster categories of type E. In particular, we give an explicit geometric description of all cluster tilting objects in the cluster category of type E_6. The model we…
It is shown that there exists a particular associative ring with unity of order 16 such that the relations between nonunimodular free cyclic submodules of its two-dimensional free left module can be expressed in terms of the structure of…
We construct modular spaces of all 6-dimensional real semisimple Drinfeld doubles, i.e. the sets of all possible decompositions of the Lie algebra of the Drinfeld double into Manin triples. These modular spaces are significantly different…
This work provides five explicit constructions of the exceptional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_8$, based on its semisimple subalgebras of maximal rank. Each of these models is graded by an abelian group, namely, $\mathbb{Z}_4$, $\mathbb{Z}_5$,…
We use the Hopf fibrillation to give simple and intuitive geometric constructions of the 24-cell, $E_8$ and $\Lambda_{16}$ lattices.
We calculate the Weyl group invariants with respect to a maximal torus of the exceptional Lie group $E_6$.
It is well-known that every algebraic group of type F_4 is the automorphism group of an exceptional Jordan algebra, and that up to isogeny all groups of type ^1E_6 with trivial Tits algebras arise as the isometry groups of norm forms of…
We give a full classification of 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over an arbitrary field, including fields that are not algebraically closed and fields of characteristic~2. To achieve the classification we use the action of the…
In this paper we relate minimal left ideals on Clifford algebras with special geometric structures in dimensions $6,7,$ and $8$.
