Representing Z/N as roots of unity, we restrict a natural U(1)-action on the Heegaard quantum sphere to Z/N, and call the quotient spaces Heegaard quantum lens spaces. Then we use this representation of Z/N to construct an associated…

We put a new spin on Khovanov--Rozansky homology. That is, we equip $\Lambda^n$-colored $\mathfrak{sl}_{2n}$ Khovanov--Rozansky homology with an involution whose $\pm 1$-eigenspaces are link invariants. When $n=1,2,3$ (and assuming…

We study the representations of the group $\mathbb{Z}_2^{*n}$, the free product of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ with itself $n$-times. We use the action of $B_n = S_2 \wr S_n $ as algebra automorphisms on the group algebra $\mathbb{C}(\mathbb{Z}_2^{*n})$…

Let $(\mathsf{hypo}_n,~^\sharp)$ be the hypoplactic monoid of finite rank $n$ with Sch\"{u}tzenberger's involution $^{\sharp}$. In this paper, we exhibit a faithful representation of $(\mathsf{hypo}_n,~^\sharp)$ as an involution monoid of…

We prove that if an integer homology three-sphere contains an embedded incompressible torus, then its fundamental group admits irreducible SU(2)-representations. Our methods use instanton Floer homology, and in particular the surgery exact…

Let X be a compact almost complex manifold with an action of a finite group G. We compute the algebra of G^n coinvariants of the stringy cohomology (math.AG/0104207) of X^n with an action of a wreath product of G. We show that it is…

By a theorem of D. Wigner, an irreducible unitary representation with non-zero $(\frak{g},K)$-cohomology has trivial infinitesimal character, and hence up to unitary equivalence, these are finite in number. We have determined the number of…

We present a pedagogical review of projective representations of finite groups and their physical applications in quantum many-body systems. Some of our physical results are new. We begin with a self-contained introduction to projective…

We study the $n$th degree representations $\hat{\rho_G}$ of $Cb_{n}$ and $\hat{\rho_B}$ of $C_{n}$, defined by Valerij G. Bardakov, where $Cb_{n}$ is the group of basis conjugating automorphisms and $C_n$ is the group of conjugating…

We prove the existence of GSpin-valued Galois representations corresponding to cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations of general symplectic groups over totally real number fields under the local hypothesis that there is a…

The product of two Heisenberg-Weil algebras contains the Jordan-Schwinger representation of su(2). This Algebra is quotiented by the square-root of the Casimir to produce a non-associative algebra denoted by $\Psi$. This algebra may be…

E. Artin described all irreducible representations of the braid group B_k to the symmetric group S(k). We strengthen some of his results and, moreover, exhibit a complete picture of homomorphisms of B_k to S(n) for n<2k+1. We show that the…

In this note we give a geometric realization of the cohomology of Springer fibers in type A. More precisely, we describe the cohomology by the coordinate ring of a scheme theoretic intersection of a Cartan subalgebra with a certain union of…

The family of Tremblay-Turbiner-Winternitz Hamiltonians $H_k$ on a plane, corresponding to any positive real value of $k$, is shown to admit a ${\cal N} = 2$ supersymmetric extension of the same kind as that introduced by Freedman and Mende…

Let $\widetilde G$ be the nonlinear double cover of the real points of a connected, simply connected, semisimple complex group. In [Ts], we introduce a set of genuine small representations of $\widetilde G$ with infinitesimal character…

Combinatorial spiders are a model for the invariant space of the tensor product of representations. The basic objects, webs, are certain directed planar graphs with boundary; algebraic operations on representations correspond to…

We identify the ring of odd symmetric functions introduced by Ellis and Khovanov as the space of skew polynomials fixed by a natural action of the Hecke algebra at q=-1. This allows us to define graded modules over the Hecke algebra at q=-1…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of type $F_{4}$, $E_{6}$, $E_{7}$ or $E_{8}$, and let $\mathfrak{g}$ be its Lie algebra. The adjoint variety $X_{ad} \subseteq \mathbb{P} \mathfrak{g}$ is defined as the unique closed orbit of the adjoint…

We extend the classical Schur-Weyl duality between representations of the groups $SL(n,\C)$ and $\sN$ to the case of $SL(n,\C)$ and the infinite symmetric group $\sinf$. Our construction is based on a "dynamic," or inductive, scheme of…

The symmetries provided by representations of the centrally extended Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{psl}(2|2)$ are known to play an important role in the spin chain models originated in the planar anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory…
