We prove that the quantum group inclusion $O_n \subset O_n^*$ is "maximal", where $O_n$ is the usual orthogonal group and $O_n^*$ is the half-liberated orthogonal quantum group, in the sense that there is no intermediate compact quantum…

The partial isometries of $\mathbb R^N,\mathbb C^N$ form compact semigroups $\widetilde{O}_N,\widetilde{U}_N$. We discuss here the liberation question for these semigroups, and for their discrete versions $\widetilde{H}_N,\widetilde{K}_N$.…

A representation theorem for non-semibounded Hermitian quadratic forms in terms of a (non-semibounded) self-adjoint operator is proven. The main assumptions are closability of the Hermitian quadratic form, the direct integral structure of…

The conformal transformations with respect to the metric defining the orthogonal Lie algebra o(n) give rise to a one-parameter (c) family of inhomogeneous first-order differential operator representations of the orthogonal Lie algebra…

The hyperoctahedral group $H_N$ is known to have two natural liberations: the "good" one $H_N^+$, which is the quantum symmetry group of $N$ segments, and the "bad" one $\bar{O}_N$, which is the quantum symmetry group of the $N$-hypercube.…

Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…

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…

Over an algebraically closed base field $k$ of characteristic 2, the ring $R^G$ of invariants is studied, $G$ being the orthogonal group O(n) or the special orthogonal group SO(n) and acting naturally on the coordinate ring $R$ of the…

Consider an arithmetic group $\mathbf{G}(O_S)$, where $\mathbf{G}$ is an affine group scheme with connected, simply connected absolutely almost simple generic fiber, defined over the ring of $S$-integers $O_S$ of a number field $K$ with…

We study the intermediate liberation problem for the real and complex unitary and reflection groups, namely $O_N,U_N,H_N,K_N$. For any of these groups $G_N$, the problem is that of understanding the structure of the intermediate quantum…

Associated varieties are geometric objects appearing in infinite-dimensional representations of semisimple Lie algebras (groups). By applying Fourier transformations to the natural orthogonal oscillator representations of special linear Lie…

The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…

Several classes of irreducible orthogonal representations of compact Lie groups that are of importance in Differential Geometry have the property that the second osculating spaces of all of their nontrivial orbits coincide with the…

We propose a new approach to the half-liberation question, for the compact groups $T_N\subset G_N\subset U_N$, where $T_N=\mathbb Z_2^N$. Indeed, we can construct a quantum group $T_N^*\subset G_N^*\subset U_N^*$, simply by setting…

Let $U$ be an algebraic subgroup of the group of $n\times n$ upper-triangular matrices with units on the diagonal over a finite field of large enough characteristic, and $\mathfrak{n}$ be the Lie algebra of $U$. The main tool in…

We show that under suitable assumptions, we have a one-to-one correspondence between classical groups and free quantum groups, in the compact orthogonal case. We classify the groups under correspondence, with the result that there are…

The purpose of this paper is to provide an octonionic description of the Lie group $SL(2,{\mathbb O})$. The main result states that it can be obtained as a free group generated by invertible and determinant preserving transformations from…

The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…

Inspired by Vershik and Okounkov's inductive and Lie-theoretic approach to the representation theory of the symmetric group, we extend their point of view to reducible $S_n$-modules. Using induced representations along Young's lattice, we…
