Let $G$ be a connected semisimple algebraic group with Lie algebra $g$ and $P$ a parabolic subgroup of $G$ with $Lie(P)=p$. The parabolic contraction of $g$ is the semi-direct product of $p$ and a $p$-module $g/p$ regarded as an abelian…

Let $H \subset {\mathbb P}^n$ be a real-analytic subvariety of codimension one induced by a real-analytic curve in the Grassmannian $G(n+1,n)$. Assuming $H$ has a global defining function, we prove $H$ is Levi-flat, the closure of its…

Let G be a connected semisimple complex algebraic group and let P be a parabolic subgroup. In this paper we define a new (commutative and associative) product on the cohomology of the homogenous spaces G/P and use this to give a more…

We identify the cotangent bundle Lie algebroid of a Poisson homogeneous space G/H of a Poisson Lie group G as a quotient of a transformation Lie algebroid over G. As applications, we describe the modular vector fields of G/H, and we…

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a semisimple Lie algebra, $\vartheta\in {\sf Aut}(\mathfrak g)$ a finite order automorphism, and $\mathfrak g_0$ the subalgebra of fixed points of $\vartheta$. Recently, we noticed that using $\vartheta$ one can…

We show that for a parabolic R^d-action on a compact quotient of PSL(2,R)^d, the cohomologies in degrees 1 through d-1 trivialize, and we give the obstructions to solving the degree-d coboundary equation, along with bounds on Sobolev norms…

We use methods of harmonic analysis and group representation theory to study the spectral properties of the abstract parabolic operator $\mathscr L = -d/dt+A$ in homogeneous function spaces. We provide sufficient conditions for…

The standard modules for an affine Lie algebra $\ga$ have natural subquotients called parafermionic spaces -- the underlying spaces for the so-called parafermionic conformal field theories associated with $\ga.$ We study the case $\ga =…

Let H be a semisimple (so, finite dimensional) Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero and let A be a commutative domain over k. We show that if A arises as an H-module algebra via an inner faithful…

Let G be complex linear-algebraic group, H a subgroup, which is dense in G in the Zariski-topology. Assume that G/[G,G] is reductive and furthermore that (1) G is solvable, or (2) the semisimple elements in G'=[G,G] are dense. Then every…

For every parabolic subgroup $P$ of a Lie supergroup $G$, the homogeneous superspace $G/P$ carries a $G$-invariant supergeometry. We address the question whether $\mathfrak{g}=\text{Lie}(G)$ is the maximal supersymmetry of this…

Zagier introduced toroidal automorphic forms to study the zeros of zeta functions: an automorphic form on GL_2 is toroidal if all its right translates integrate to zero over all nonsplit tori in GL_2, and an Eisenstein series is toroidal if…

A construction of $W$-symmetries is given only in terms of the nonlocal fields (parafermions ${\ps}_{\al}$), which take values on the homogeneous space $G/U(1)^r$, where $G$ is a simply connected compact Lie group manifold (its accompanying…

We study a general class of models whose classical Hamiltonians are given by H = U(x) p + V(x)/p, where x and p are the position and momentum of a particle moving in one dimension, and U and V are positive functions. This class includes the…

Let $X$ be a real prehomogeneous vector space under a reductive group $G$, such that $X$ is an absolutely spherical $G$-variety with affine open orbit. We define local zeta integrals that involve the integration of Schwartz-Bruhat functions…

A function that is analytic on a domain of $\mathbb{C}^n$ is holonomic if it is the solution to a holonomic system of linear homogeneous differential equations with polynomial coefficients. We define and study the Bernstein-Sato polynomial…

An algebra A with a generalized H-action is a generalization of an H-module algebra where H is just an associative algebra with 1 and a relaxed compatibility condition between the multiplication in A and the H-action on A holds. At first…

The goal of the course was a review of results mainly due to M. Olbrich and the first author. We consider a discrete cocompact subgroup $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$. We relate the group cohomology of $\Gamma$ with coefficients in…

We study the equivariant oriented cohomology ring $h_T(G/P)$ of partial flag varieties using the moment map approach. We define the right Hecke action on this cohomology ring, and then prove that the respective Bott-Samelson classes in…
