A Lefschetz formula is given that relates loops in a regular finite graph to traces of a certain representation. As an application the poles of the Ihara/Bass zeta function are expressed as dimensions of global section spaces of locally…
Let $f: X \to S$ be a smooth morphism in characteristic 0, and let $(E, \nabla_{X/S})$ be a relative regular connection. We define a cohomology of relative differential characters on $X$ which receives classes of $(E, \nabla_{X/S})$. It…
We consider symmetric pairs of Lie superalgebras which are strongly reductive and of even type, and introduce a graded Harish-Chandra homomorphism. We prove that its image is a certain explicit filtered subalgebra of the Weyl invariants on…
The aim of this note is to give a geometric proof for classical local rigidity of lattices in semisimple Lie groups. We are reproving well known results in a more geometric (and hopefully clearer) way.
This expository paper introduces the theory of Harish-Chandra integrals, a family of special functions that express the integral of an exponential function over the adjoint orbits of a compact Lie group. Originally studied in the context of…
I connect an old result of mine on a Lie algebra generalization of the Amitsur-Levitski theorem with equations for sheets in a reductive Lie algebra and with recent results of Kostant-Wallach on the variety of singular elements in a…
We re-examine some topics in representation theory of Lie algebras and Springer theory in a more general context, viewing the universal enveloping algebra as an example of the section ring of a quantization of a conical symplectic…
A simple new proof of the Harish-Chandra condition, preceded by an expository part on Hermitian symmetric spaces, holomorphic induction, and on some analytic tools.
We express the discrete noncuspidal terms in the spectral side of the trace formula for GL(2) in terms of orbital integrals, obtaining a geometric expansion for the cuspidal part of the trace formula. Assuming the Ramanujan conjecture for…
Two trace formulas for the spectra of arbitrary Hermitian matrices are derived by transforming the given Hermitian matrix $H$ to a unitary analogue. In the first type the unitary matrix is $e^{i(\lambda\II - H)}$ where $\lambda$ is the…
This note complements a recent paper of Chatzakos, Harcos and Kaneko \cite{CHK}. We use a Dirichlet style Prime Geodesic Theorem to improve the error term estimate in loc. cit. at the cost of lowering the resolution. The proof relies on the…
In this paper, we establish a local Lie theory for relative Rota-Baxter operators of weight $1$. First we recall the category of relative Rota-Baxter operators of weight $1$ on Lie algebras and construct a cohomology theory for them. We use…
We elaborate a new method for constructing traces of quadratic forms in the framework of Hilbert and Dirichlet spaces. Our method relies on monotone convergence of quadratic forms and the canonical decomposition into regular and singular…
We use a spectral theory perspective to reconsider properties of the Riemann zeta function. In particular, new integral representations are derived and used to present its value at odd positive integers.
The relative trace formula of Jacquet-Rallis (for unitary groups or general linear groups) is an identity between periods of automorphic representations and geometric distributions. In this paper, we prove the transfer between all geometric…
In this note we prove an integral formula for the bare one-leg PT vertex with descendents. The formula follows from the PT version of Ellingsrud-G\"ottsche-Lehn formula that is explained here. We apply the integral formula to obtain an…
In this short note we prove that the reduced group C*-algebra of a locally compact group admits a non-zero trace if and only if the amenable radical of the group is open. This completely answers a question raised by Forrest, Spronk and…
In this paper we introduce two new fractional versions of the Laplacian. The first one is based on the classical formula that writes the usual Laplacian as the sum of the eigenvalues of the Hessian. The second one comes from looking at the…
A commutative associative algebra A with an identity over the field of real numbers which has a basis, where all elements are invertible, is considered in the work. Moreover, among matrixes consisting of the structure constants of A, there…
In 2011, the first author introduced (relative) Riemann-Zariski spaces corresponding to a morphism of schemes and established their basic properties. In this paper we clarify that theory and extend it to morphisms between algebraic spaces.…
