Orbits of coadjoint representations of classical compact Lie groups have a lot of applications. They appear in representation theory, geometrical quantization, theory of magnetism, quantum optics etc. As geometric objects the orbits were…

We consider conformal actions of simple Lie groups on compact Lorentzian manifolds. Mainly motivated by the Lorentzian version of a conjecture of Lichnerowicz, we establish the alternative: Either the group acts isometrically for some…

We review the notion of simple compact quantum groups and examples, and discuss the problem of construction and classification of simple compact quantum groups. Several new quantum groups constructed by Banica, Curran and Speicher since the…

We describe geometrically the classical and quantum inhomogeneous groups $G_0=(SL(2, \BbbC)\triangleright \BbbC^2)$ and $G_1=(SL(2, \BbbC)\triangleright \BbbC^2)\triangleright \BbbC$ by studying explicitly their shape algebras as a spaces…

Compact quantum groups can be studied by investigating their co-representation categories in analogy to the Schur-Weyl/Tannaka-Krein approach. For the special class of (unitary) "easy" quantum groups these categories arise from a…

We study the question of whether the topological quotient of a real linear representation of a simple three-dimensional compact Lie group is a manifold. We obtain an upper bound for the dimension of a representation whose quotient is a…

The paper is devoted to representation theoretic and algebraic geometric aspects of the theory of orthogonal decompositions of Lie algebra sl(n) into Cartan subalgebras orthogonal with respect to Killing form and the relevant theory of…

This paper provides a construction of the unipotent representations for classical complex groups in terms of the Theta correspondence as introduced and studied by R. Howe. The K-type structure of unipotent representations is obtained as a…

The notion of an open quantum subgroup of a locally compact quantum group is introduced and given several equivalent characterizations in terms of group-like projections, inclusions of quantum group C*-algebras and properties of respective…

The envelope theory is a method to easily obtain approximate, but reliable, solutions for some quantum many-body problems. Quite general Hamiltonians can be considered for systems composed of an arbitrary number of different particles in…

We explore in this paper some orthogonal polynomials which are naturally associated to certain families of coherent states, often referred to as nonlinear coherent states in the quantum optics literature. Some examples turn out to be known…

A class of quantum analogues of compact symmetric spaces of classical type is introduced by means of constant solutions to the reflection equations. Their zonal spherical functions are discussed in connection with $q$-orthogonal…

We establish a quantum Galois correspondence for compact Lie groups of automorphisms acting on a simple vertex operator algebra.

This paper is an adaptation of a chapter from an upcoming monograph on noncommutative geometry and quantum groups. We present examples of non compact quantum groups which are deformations of low dimensional Lie groups. The paper is of…

A novel approach to the finite dimensional representation theory of the entire Lorentz group $\operatorname{O}(1,3)$ is presented. It is shown how the entire Lorentz group may be understood as a semi-direct product between its identity…

We classify compact, connected Hamiltonian and quasi-Hamiltonian manifolds of cohomogeneity one (which is the same as being multiplicity free of rank one). Here the group acting is a compact connected Lie group (simply connected in the…

We obtain a homological characterisation of virtually free-by-cyclic groups among groups that are hyperbolic and virtually compact special. As a consequence, we show that many groups known to be coherent actually possess the stronger…

We consider the hypercube in $\mathbb R^n$, and show that its quantum symmetry group is a $q$-deformation of $O_n$ at $q=-1$. Then we consider the graph formed by $n$ segments, and show that its quantum symmetry group is free in some…

Relativistic, scalar particles are considered, contained in a box with periodic boundary conditions. Although interactions are not expected to be a fundamental problem, we concentrate on free particles. By considering them to be harmonic…

This paper identifies the homotopy theories of topological stacks and orbispaces with unstable global homotopy theory. At the same time, we provide a new perspective by interpreting it as the homotopy theory of `spaces with an action of the…
