Given polar spaces $(V,\beta)$ and $(V,Q)$ where $V$ is a vector space over a field $K$, $\beta$ a reflexive sesquilinear form and $Q$ a quadratic form, we have associated classical isometry groups. Given a subfield $F$ of $K$ and an…

We discuss an interesting duality known to occur for certain complex reflection groups, namely the duality groups. Our main construction yields a concrete, representation theoretic realisation of this duality. This allows us to naturally…

A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear…

We consider the group $\mathfrak{X}(G)$ obtained from $G\ast G$ by forcing each element $g$ in the first free factor to commute with the copy of $g$ in the second free factor. Deceptively complicated finitely presented groups arise from…

We introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…

Qudits with local dimension $d>2$ can have unique structure and uses that qubits ($d=2$) cannot. Qudit Pauli operators provide a very useful basis of the space of qudit states and operators. We study the structure of the qudit Pauli group…

The theory of a two-valued algebraic group structure on a complex plane and complex projective line is developed. In this theory, depending on the choice of the neutral element, the local multiplication law is given by the Buchstaber…

We study the general theory of Frobenius algebras with group actions. These structures arise when one is studying the algebraic structures associated to a geometry stemming from a physical theory with a global finite gauge group, i.e.…

Tree-graded spaces are a generalization of $\mathbb{R}$-trees and play an important role in describing the large-scale geometry of relatively hyperbolic groups. We consider a subclass of tree-graded spaces that we call "disjointly…

In order to generalize finite element methods to differential forms, Arnold, Falk, and Winther constructed two families of spaces of polynomial differential forms on a simplex $T$, the $\mathcal P_r\Lambda^k(T)$ spaces and the $\mathcal…

Given a compact Lie group $G$ and an orthogonal $G$-representation $V$, we give a purely metric criterion for a closed subset of the orbit space $V/G$ to have convex pre-image in $V$. In fact, this also holds with the natural quotient map…

Recently, a geometrical characterization of vector spaces served to generalize them into a new class of algebras. Instead of the algebraic properties of the underlying fields, we generalized the recently discovered property of such spaces…

Triple factorisations of finite groups $G$ of the form $G=PQP$ are essential in the study of Lie theory as well as in geometry. Geometrically, each triple factorisation $G=PQP$ corresponds to a $G$-flag transitive point/line geometry such…

We prove the following theorem. Let $G$ be a finite group generated by unitary reflections in a complex Hermitian space $V=\mathbb{C}^\ell$ and let $G'$ be any reflection subgroup of $G$. Let $\mathcal{H}(G)$ be the space of $G$-harmonic…

The simplices and the complexes arsing form the grading of the fundamental (desymmetrized) domain of arithmetical groups and non-arithmetical groups, as well as their extended (symmetrized) ones are described also for oriented manifolds in…

We show the existence of and explicitly construct generic polynomials for various groups, over fields of positive characteristic. The methods we develop apply to a broad class of connected linear algebraic groups defined over finite fields…

As an extension of previous ungraded work, we define a graded $p$-polar ring to be an analog of a graded commutative ring where multiplication is only allowed on $p$-tuples (instead of pairs) of elements of equal degree. We show that the…

Let $G$ be a Lie group, with an invariant non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form on its Lie algebra, let $\pi$ be the fundamental group of an orientable (real) surface $M$ with a finite number of punctures, and let $\bold C$ be a family of…

In this article we construct a generalized Gaussian process coming from Coxeter groups of type B. It is given by creation and annihilation operators on an $(\alpha,q)$-Fock space, which satisfy the commutation relation $$…

General semifinite factor representations of the diffeomorphism group of euclidean space are constructed by means of a canonical correspondence with the finite factor representations of the inductive limit unitary group. This construction…
