Given a compact Gelfand pair (G,K) and a locally compact group L, we characterize the class P_K^\sharp(G,L) of continuous positive definite functions f:G\times L\to \C which are bi-invariant in the G-variable with respect to K. The…
We present generating functions for extensions of multiplicative invariants of wreath symmetric products of orbifolds presented as the quotient by the locally free action of a compact, connected Lie group in terms of orbifold sector…
In this paper, we study the subconstituent algebras, also called as Terwilliger algebras, of association schemes that are obtained as the wreath product of one-class association schemes $K_n=H(1, n)$ for $n\ge 2$. We find that the $d$-class…
In [AG2] we explored the question what symmetric pairs are Gelfand pairs. We introduced the notion of regular symmetric pair and conjectured that all symmetric pairs are regular. This conjecture would imply that many symmetric pairs are…
We analyze the chiral operator ring of the symmetric orbifold conformal field theory on the complex two-plane. We compute the large N limit of the ring and exhibit its factorized leading order behaviour. We moreover calculate all structure…
We consider certain scalar product of symmetric functions which is parameterized by a function $r$ and an integer $n$. One the one hand we have a fermionic representation of this scalar product. On the other hand we get a representation of…
The integral cohomology ring of the Hilbert scheme of n-tuples on the affine plane is shown to be isomorphic to the graded ring associated to a filtration of the ring of integral class functions on the symmetric group.
Placing a Dirac-Schr\"odinger operator along the orbit of a flow on a compact manifold \(M\) defines an \(\R\)-equivariant spectral triple over the algebra of smooth functions on \(M\). We study some of the properties of these triples,…
Chen and Ruan's orbifold cohomology of the symmetric product of a complex manifold is calculated. An isomorphism of rings (up to a change of signs) $H_{orb}^*(X^n/S_n;\complex) \cong H^*(X^{[n]};\complex)$ between the orbifold cohomology of…
In this paper we study the classifying spaces of graph products of simplicial groups and connected Hopf algebras over a field, and show that they can be uniformly treated under the framework of polyhedral products. It turns out that these…
The multiplicative group of a global field acts on its adele ring by multiplication. We consider the crossed product algebra of the resulting action on the space of Schwartz functions on the adele ring and compute its Hochschild, cyclic and…
By means of analyzing the notion of verbal products of groups, we show that soficity, hyperlinearity, amenability, the Haagerup property, the Kazhdan's property (T) and exactness are preserved under taking $k$-nilpotent products of groups,…
Let X be a compact almost complex manifold with an action of a finite group G. We compute the algebra of G^n coinvariants of the stringy cohomology (math.AG/0104207) of X^n with an action of a wreath product of G. We show that it is…
In 4-dimensional supergravity theories, covariant under symplectic electric-magnetic duality rotations, a significant role is played by the symplectic matrix M({\phi}), related to the coupling of scalars {\phi} to vector field-strengths. In…
In this thesis, we study the structure of the polyhedral product $\mathcal{Z}_{\mathcal{K}}(D^1,S^0)$ determined by an abstract simplicial complex ${\mathcal{K}}$ and the pair $(D^1,S^0)$. We showed that there is natural embedding of the…
This paper is motivated by several combinatorial actions of the affine Weyl group of type $C_n$. Addressing a question of David Vogan, it was shown in an earlier paper that these permutation representations are essentialy…
The Donald--Flanigan problem for a finite group H and coefficient ring k asks for a deformation of the group algebra kH to a separable algebra. It is solved here for dihedral groups and for the classical Weyl groups (whose rational group…
We study the quantum symmetric spaces for quantum general linear groups modulo symplectic groups. We first determine the structure of the quotient quantum group and completely determine the quantum invariants. We then derive the…
In this paper, we show that wreath products of groups have linear divergence, and we generalise the argument to permutational wreath products. We also prove that Houghton groups $\mathcal{H}_m$ with $m\geq 2$ and Baumslag-Solitar groups…
From the homotopy groups of three distinct octahedral spherical 3-manifolds we construct the isomorphic groups H of deck transformations acting on the 3-sphere. The H-invariant polynomials on the 3-sphere constructed by representation…
