We describe an algebraic proof of the well-known topological fact that $\pi_1(SO(n)) \cong Z/2Z$. The fundamental group of $SO(n)$ appears in our approach as the center of a certain finite group defined by generators and relations. The…
In this paper we characterize irreducible generic representations of $\SO_{2n+1}(k)$ where $k$ is a $p$-adic field) by means of twisted local gamma factors (the Local Converse Theorem). As applications, we prove that two irreducible generic…
Let G be a linear Lie group. We define the G-reducibility of a continuous or discrete cocycle modulo N. We show that a G-valued continuous or discrete cocycle which is GL(n,C)-reducible is in fact G-reducible modulo 2 if…
We produce an example of an irreducible discrete subgroup in the product $SL(2,\R)\times SL(2,\R)$ which is not a lattice. This answers a question asked in [15].
In a previous work we apply lattice point theorems on hyperbolic spaces obtaining asymptotic formulas for the number of integral representations of negative integers by quadratic and hermitian forms of signature (n,1) lying in Euclidean…
We explicitly show that symmetric Frobenius structures on a finite-dimensional, semi-simple algebra stand in bijection to homotopy fixed points of the trivial SO(2)-action on the bicategory of finite-dimensional, semi-simple algebras,…
In the present paper we continue the project of systematic construction of invariant differential operators on the example of the non-compact algebras $su(n,n)$. Earlier were given the main multiplets of indecomposable elementary…
We give necessary conditions for the existence of degenerations between two complex Lie superalgebras of dimension $(m,n)$. As an application, we study the variety $\mathcal{LS}^{(2,2)}$ of complex Lie superalgebras of dimension $(2,2)$.…
We describe the category of integrable sl(1|n)^ -modules with the positive central charge and show that the irreducible modules provide the full set of irreducible representations for the corresponding simple vertex algebra.
We study the minimal unitary representation (minrep) of SO(4,2) over an Hilbert space of functions of three variables, obtained by quantizing its quasiconformal action on a five dimensional space. The minrep of SO(4,2), which coincides with…
In part I we introduced the class ${\mathcal E}_2$ of Lie subgroups of $Sp(2,\R)$ and obtained a classification up to conjugation (Theorem 1.1). Here, we determine for which of these groups the restriction of the metaplectic representation…
Let G be a branch group (as defined by Grigorchuk) acting on a tree T. A parabolic subgroup P is the stabiliser of an infinite geodesic ray in T. We denote by $\rho_{G/P}$ the associated quasi-regular representation. If G is discrete, these…
In this paper we use techniques from convex projective geometry to produce many new examples of thin subgroups of lattices in special linear groups that are isomorphic to the fundamental groups of finite volume hyperbolic manifolds. More…
We show that the natural conjugation invariant cone structure on the linear symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}(2n)$ is globally hyperbolic in the positively elliptic region $\mathrm{Sp}_{\mathrm{ell}}^{+}(2n)$. This answers a question by…
We classify closed, conformally flat Lorentzian manifolds of dimension $n \geq 3$ with unipotent holonomy in PO(2,n). They are all Kleinian and fall into four different geometric types according to the intersection of the image of the…
We prove the existence of surface subgroups within any cocompact lattice $\Gamma$ in $\mathrm{SO}(2n,1)$ for $n\geq2$. This result addresses the cases missing from the work of Hamenst\"adt in 2015, who constructed surface subgroups in…
Let $\Gamma \stackrel{i}{\hookrightarrow} L$ be a lattice in the real simple Lie group $L$. If $L$ is of rank at least 2 (respectively locally isomorphic to $Sp(n,1)$) any unbounded morphism $\rho: \Gamma \longrightarrow G$ into a simple…
Let L(n-l+1/2,0) be the vertex operator algebra associated to an affine Lie algebra of type B_l^(1) at level n-l+1/2, for a positive integer n. We classify irreducible L(n-l+1/2,0)-modules and show that every L(n-l+1/2,0)-module is…
We analyze the structure of one-parameter subgroups of SO(3,2). We find two new types of subgroups in comparison with the structure of the one-parameter subgroups of SO(2,2), and we construct explicit examples for these subgroups. We also…
In this paper, we describe the irreducible spherical functions of fundamental $K$-types associated with the pair $(G,K)=({\mathrm{SO}}(n+1),{\mathrm{SO}}(n))$ in terms of matrix hypergeometric functions. The output of this description is…
