Motivated by asymptotic symmetry groups in general relativity, we consider projective unitary representations $\overline{\rho}$ of the Lie group $\mathrm{Diff}_c(M)$ of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold $M$ that…

Matrix Lie groups provide a language for describing motion in such fields as robotics, computer vision, and graphics. When using these tools, we are often faced with turning infinite-series expressions into more compact finite series (e.g.,…

We construct loops which are semidirect products of groups of affinities. As their elements in many cases one may take transversal subspaces of an affine space. In particular we obtain in this manner smooth loops having Lie groups of affine…

By interpreting the fusion matrix as an adjacency matrix we associate a loop model to every primary operator of a generic conformal field theory. The weight of these loop models is given by the quantum dimension of the corresponding primary…

We present the derivation of the 6-dimensional Eulerian Lie group of the form SO(3,C). We describe our derivation process, which involves the creation of a finite group by using permutation matrices, and the exponentiation of the adjoint…

Let $G$ be a compact, connected, simply-connected Lie group. We use the Fourier-Mukai transform in twisted $K$-theory to give a new proof of the ring structure of the $K$-theory of $G$.

We present an application of Hodge theory towards the study of irreducible unitary representations of reductive Lie groups. We describe a conjecture about such representations and discuss some progress towards its proof.

Let $G$ be a real compact Lie group, such that $G=G^0\rtimes C_2$, with $G^0$ simple. Here $G^0$ is the connected component of $G$ containing the identity and $C_2$ is the cyclic group of order $2$. We give a criterion for whether an…

We define several versions of the cohomology ring of an associative algebra. These ring structures unify some well known operations from homological algebra and differential geometry. They have some formal resemblance with the quantum…

These notes give an elementary introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their representations. Designed to be accessible to graduate students in mathematics or physics, they have a minimum of prerequisites. Topics include definitions…

Wigner's little groups are the subgroups of the Lorentz group whose transformations leave the momentum of a given particle invariant. They thus define the internal space-time symmetries of relativistic particles. These symmetries take…

We compute the fundamental group of moduli spaces of Lie group valued representations of surface and torus groups.

There has been some work in the literature on limit theorems for the trace of commutators for compact Lie groups. We revisit this from the perspective of combinatorial representation theory.

We describe simply connected compact exceptional simple Lie groups in very elementary way. We first construct all simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups G concretely. Next, we find all involutive automorphisms of G, and determine…

We give a new method for manufacturing complete minimal submanifolds of compact Lie groups and their homogeneous quotient spaces. For this we make use of harmonic morphisms and basic representation theory of Lie groups. We then apply our…

The representation ring of an affine algebraic group scheme can be endowed with the structure of a (special) $\lambda$-ring. We show that the same is true for the ring of symmetric representations, i.e. for the Grothendieck-Witt ring of the…

We present explicit formulas for deformation quantization on the co-adjoint orbits of the real diamond Lie group. From this we obtain quantum half-plans, quantum hyperbolic cylinders, quantum hyperbolic paraboloids via Fedosov deformation…

These notes arose from three lectures on fusion system I gave at the University of Valencia in February 2023. We first consider fusion phenomena in classical group theory. Then we develop the abstract theory of fusion systems. Finally…

We use evaluation representations to give a complete classification of the finite-dimensional simple modules of twisted current algebras. This generalizes and unifies recent work on multiloop algebras, current algebras, equivariant map…

All unitary representations of the quantum ``az+b'' group are found. It turns out that this quantum group is self dual i.e. all unitary representations are 'numbered' by elements of the same group. Moreover, the formula for all unitary…
