We introduce the notion of commuting probability, $p(G)$, for an algebraic group $G$. This notion is inspired by the corresponding notions in finite groups and compact groups. The computation of $p(G)$ for reductive groups is readily done…
A finite transitive permutation group is said to be 3/2-transitive if all the nontrivial orbits of a point stabilizer have the same size greater than 1. Examples include the 2-transitive groups, Frobenius groups and several other less…
Lueders theorem states that two observables commute if measuring one of them does not disturb the measurement outcomes of the other. We study measurements which are described by continuous positive operator-valued measurements (or POVMs)…
Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group whose decomposition into a product of simple components does not contain simple groups of type $A$, and $P\subseteq G$ be a parabolic subgroup. Extending the results of Popov [7], we enumerate all…
The $d^2$ Pauli operators attached to a composite qudit in dimension $d$ may be mapped to the vectors of the symplectic module $\mathcal{Z}_d^{2}$ ($\mathcal{Z}_d$ the modular ring). As a result, perpendicular vectors correspond to…
The paper studies the dimensions of irreducible components of commuting varieties of (restricted) nilpotent $r$-tuples in a classical Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$. As applications, we obtain some…
An n-tuple (n \geq 2), T = (T_1, \ldots, T_n), of commuting bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space \mathcal{H} is doubly commuting if T_i T_j^* = T_j^* T_i for all $1 \leq i < j \leq n$. If in addition, each T_i \in C_{\cdot 0}, then…
We consider Lie groups ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ and ${\rm Sp}(n,1)$ that act as the isometries of the complex and quaternionic hyperbolic spaces respectively. We classify pairs of semisimple elements in ${\rm Sp}(n,1)$ and ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ up to…
This paper shows that on the Bergman space of the open unit disk, the slant Toeplitz operator $T_{p+\varphi}$ and $T_{p+\psi}$ commute if and only if $\varphi=\psi$ ,where $\varphi$ and $\psi$ are both bounded analytic functions, and $p$ is…
The problem of finding the number of ordered commuting tuples of elements in a finite group is equivalent to finding the size of the solution set of the system of equations determined by the commutator relations that impose commutativity…
We extend a procedure for construction of the photon position operators with transverse eigenvectors and commuting components [Phys. Rev. A 59, 954 (1999)] to body rotations described by three Euler angles. The axial angle can be made a…
We compute the fundamental group of the spaces of ordered commuting $n$-tuples of elements in the Lie groups SU(2), U(2) and SO(3). For SO(3) the computation of the mod-2 cohomology of the components of these spaces is also obtained.
The symmetric group on a set acts transitively on its subsets of a given size. We define homomorphisms between the corresponding permutation modules, defined over a field of characteristic two, which generalize the boundary maps from…
There are three main results in this paper. First, we find an easily computable and simple condition which is necessary and sufficient for a commuting tuple of contractions to possess a non-zero Toeplitz operator. This condition is just…
For linear operators which factor with suitable assumptions concerning commutativity of the factors, we introduce several notions of a decomposition. When any of these hold then questions of null space and range are subordinated to the same…
A very particular connection between the commutation relations of the elements of the generalized Pauli group of a $d$-dimensional qudit, $d$ being a product of distinct primes, and the structure of the projective line over the (modular)…
This expository article presents a self-contained introduction to simplicial homology for finite simplicial complexes, emphasizing concrete computation and geometric intuition. Beginning with orientations of simplices and the construction…
We consider the conjugation-action of the Borel subgroup of the symplectic or the orthogonal group on the variety of nilpotent complex elements of nilpotency degree $2$ in its Lie algebra. We translate the setup to a…
We consider symmetric separately radial (with corresponding group $S_n\rtimes \mathbb{T}^n$) and alternating separately radial (with corresponding group $A_n\rtimes \mathbb{T}^n$) symbols, as well as the associated Toeplitz operators on the…
We prove that any polar action on a separable Hilbert space by a connected Hilbert Lie group does not have exceptional orbits. This generalizes a result of Berndt, Console and Olmos in the finite dimensional Euclidean case. As an…
