Here, we classify Lie groups acting isometrically on compact Lorentz manifolds, and in particular we describe the geometric structure of compact homogeneous Lorentz manifolds.

Motivated by analogous results for the symmetric group and compact Lie groups, we study the distribution of the number of fixed vectors of a random element of a finite classical group. We determine the limiting moments of these…

A discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of a locally compact group $H$ is called a uniform lattice if the quotient $H/\Gamma$ is compact. Such an $H$ is called an envelope of $\Gamma$. In this paper we study the problem of classifying envelopes of…

It is proved that the orbit space of an irreducible representation of a simple connected compact Lie group of type B, C, or D can be a smooth manifold only in two cases.

The main result of this paper is the classification of the real irreducible representations of compact Lie groups with vanishing homogeneity rank.

We give a general definition of classical and quantum groups whose representation theory is "determined by partitions" and study their structure. This encompasses many examples of classical groups for which Schur-Weyl duality is described…

Let $K$ be a compact, connected, simply-connected simple Lie group. Given two conjugacy classes $\Orb_1$ and $\Orb_2$ in $K$, we consider the multiplicative Horn question: What conjugacy classes are contained in $\Orb_1\cdot\Orb_2$? It is…

An isomorphism between two hermitian unitals is proved, and used to treat isomorphisms of classical groups that are related to the isomorphism between certain simple real Lie algebras of types A and D (and rank 3).

In this paper we compute the radial parts of projections of the orbital measures for the compact Lie groups $SO(2n+1), Sp(2n)$ and $O(2n)$, extending the previous results for the case of the unitary group by Olshanski and Faraut. The answer…

This is an introduction to quantum algebra, from a geometric perspective. The classical spaces $X$, such as the Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, or more general manifolds, are described by various algebras $A$, defined over various fields…

Let $G$ be a finite solvable or symmetric group and let $B$ be a $2$-block of $G$. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible characters of height zero in $B$ and those in its Brauer first main correspondent. For…

Let $\gg$ be the Lie algebra of a compact Lie group and let $\theta$ be any automorphism of $\gg$. Let $\gk$ denote the fixed point subalgebra $\gg^\theta$. In this paper we present LiE programs that, for any finite dimensional complex…

Orthogonality in model theory captures the idea of absence of non-trivial interactions between definable sets. We introduce a somewhat opposite notion of cohesiveness, capturing the idea of interaction among all parts of a given definable…

We compute the number of orbit types for simply connected simple algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields as well as for compact simply connected simple Lie groups. We also compute the number of orbit types for the adjoint action…

The paper is a survey of recent results in geometric representation theory describing group actions which induce multiplicity-free representations in the spaces of holomorphic functions. For connected compact Lie groups of automorphisms of…

Let $X$ be a differentiable manifold endowed with a transitive action $\alpha:A\times X\longrightarrow X$ of a Lie group $A$. Let $K$ be a Lie group. Under suitable technical assumptions, we give explicit classification theorems, in terms…

We consider two-dimensional harmonic oscillator in the complex Bargmann-Fock-Segal representation with $T^*{\mathbb R}^{2}={\mathbb C}^2$ as classical phase space. We show that the eigenfunctions $\psi_n$ of the quantum Hamiltonian…

By working with several specific Poisson-Lie groups arising from Heisenberg Lie bialgebras and by carrying out their quantizations, a case is made for a useful but simple method of constructing locally compact quantum groups. The strategy…

We give a general scheme for constructing faithful actions of genuine (noncommutative as $C^*$ algebra) compact quantum groups on classical topological spaces. Using this, we show that: (i) a compact connected classical space can have a…

Within the framework of unitary easy quantum groups, we study an analogue of Brauer's Schur-Weyl approach to the representation theory of the orthogonal group. We consider concrete combinatorial categories whose morphisms are formed by…
