We classify the radially symmetric connections in vector bundles over round spheres by proving that they are all parallel.
(Abridged abstract) For a finite real reflection group W and a W-orbit O of flats in its reflection arrangement---or equivalently a conjugacy class of its parabolic subgroups---we introduce a statistic on elements of W. We then study the…
We classify the pairs $(C,G)$ where $C$ is a seminormal curve over an arbitrary field $k$ and $G$ is a smooth connected algebraic group acting faithfully on $C$ with a dense orbit, and we determine the equivariant Picard group of $C$. We…
A strong Gelfand pair (G,H) is a group G together with a subgroup H such that every irreducible character of H induces a multiplicity-free character of G. We classify the strong Gelfand pairs of the special linear groups SL(2, p) where p is…
We prove that $(\mathbb{Z}_k \wr \mathcal{S}_n \times \mathbb{Z}_k \wr \mathcal{S}_{n-1}, \text{diag} (\mathbb{Z}_k \wr \mathcal{S}_{n-1}) )$ is a symmetric Gelfand pair, where $\mathbb{Z}_k \wr \mathcal{S}_n$ is the wreath product of the…
Our goal is to find classes of convolution semigroups on Lie groups $G$ that give rise to interesting processes in symmetric spaces $G/K$. The $K$-bi-invariant convolution semigroups are a well-studied example. An appealing direction for…
A pair of odd primes is said to be symmetric if each prime is congruent to one modulo their difference. A theorem from 1996 by Fletcher, Lindgren, and the third author provides an upper bound on the number of primes up to x that belong to a…
In this paper, we show almost-Gelfand property of connected symmetric pairs (G, H) over finite fields of large characteristics. We will show almost-\sigma-invariant property of double coset H\G/H where \sigma is the associated…
In the setting of C*-categories, we provide a definition of "spectrum" of a commutative full C*-category as a one-dimensional unital saturated Fell bundle over a suitable groupoid (equivalence relation) and prove a categorical Gelfand…
We establish a Springer theory for classical symmetric pairs. We give an explicit description of character sheaves in this setting. In particular we determine the cuspidal character sheaves.
Let $(G,N)$ be a pair of groups. In this article, first we construct a relative central extension for the pair $(G,N)$ such that special types of covering pair of $(G,N)$ are homomorphic image of it. Second, we show that every perfect pair…
A double-normal pair of a finite set $S$ of points from Euclidean space is a pair of points $\{p,q\}$ from $S$ such that $S$ lies in the closed strip bounded by the hyperplanes through $p$ and $q$ that are perpendicular to $pq$. A…
We introduce the notion of matched pairs of Courant algebroids and give several examples arising naturally from complex manifolds, holomorphic Courant algebroids, and certain regular Courant algebroids. We consider the matched sum of two…
Given a set $V$ of points in $\mathbb R^d$, two points $p$, $q$ from $V$ form a double-normal pair, if the set $V$ lies between two parallel hyperplanes that pass through $p$ and $q$, respectively, and that are orthogonal to the segment…
Given a compact Gelfand pair (G,K) and a locally compact group L, we characterize the class P_K^\sharp(G,L) of continuous positive definite functions f:G\times L\to \C which are bi-invariant in the G-variable with respect to K. The…
Let F be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2. We show that every nonsingular skew-symmetric n by n matrix X over F is orthogonally similar to a bidiagonal skew-symmetric matrix. In the singular case one has to…
Motivated by quantum states with zero transition probability, we introduce the notion of ortho-set which is a set equipped with a relation $\neq_\mathrm{q}$ satisfying: $x\neq_\mathrm{q} y$ implies both $x\neq y$ and $y \neq_\mathrm{q} x$.…
Let F be a local field of characteristic zero. Let D be a quaternion algebra over F. Let E be a quadratic field extension of F. Let {\mu} be a character of GL(1,E). We study the distinction problem for the pair (GL(n,D), GL(n,E)) and we…
We consider $G$ a semisimple Lie group with finite center and $K$ a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. We study the regularity of $K$-finite matrix coefficients of unitary representations of $G$. More precisely, we find the optimal value…
A $(v,k,\lambda)$-covering is a pair $(V, \mathcal{B})$, where $V$ is a $v$-set of points and $\mathcal{B}$ is a collection of $k$-subsets of $V$ (called blocks), such that every unordered pair of points in $V$ is contained in at least…
