With this paper we start a programme aiming at connecting two vast scientific areas: Jordan algebras and representation theory. Within representation theory, we focus on non-compact, real forms of semisimple Lie algebras and groups as well…

We prove results toward classifying compact Lorentz manifolds on which Heisenberg groups act isometrically. We give a general construction, leading to a new example, of codimension-one actions--those for which the dimension of the…

The Jordan type of an Artinian algebra is the Jordan block partition associated to multiplication by a generic element of the maximal ideal. We study the Jordan type for Artinian Gorenstein (AG) local algebras A, and the interaction of…

Jordan algebras were first introduced in an effort to restructure quantum mechanics purely in terms of physical observables. In this paper we explain why, if one attempts to reformulate the internal structure of the standard model of…

Given a hyper loop algebra over a non-algebraically closed field, we address multiplicity problems in the underlying abelian tensor category of finite-dimensional representations. Namely, we give formulas for the l-characters of the simple…

For finite p-groups P of class 2 and exponent p the following are invariants of fully refined central decompositions of P: the number of members in the decomposition, the multiset of orders of the members, and the multiset of orders of…

Concerning the problem of classifying complete submanifolds of Euclidean space with codimension two admitting genuine isometric deformations, until now the only known examples with the maximal possible rank four are the real Kaehler minimal…

A Poisson realization of the simple real Lie algebra $\mathfrak {so}^*(4n)$ on the phase space of each $\mathrm {Sp}(1)$-Kepler problem is exhibited. As a consequence one obtains the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector for each classical…

For a C*-algebra A, G. Pedersen defined the concept of universal measurability for self-adjoint elements of A**, the universal enveloping algebra of A. Although he was unable to show that U, the set of universally measurable elements, is a…

The definition of an action functional for the Jacobi sigma models, known for Jacobi brackets of functions, is generalized to \emph{Jacobi bundles}, i.e., Lie brackets on sections of (possibly nontrivial) line bundles, with the particular…

Let $V$ be an irreducible complex analytic space of dimension two with normal singularities and $\vr:\mathbb{C^*}\times V\to V$ a holomorphic action of the group $\mathbb{C^*}$ on $V$. Denote by $\fa_\vr$ the foliation on $V$ induced by…

Let $G$ be a simply connected, connected completely solvable Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{p}+\mathfrak{m}.$ Next, let $\pi$ be an infinite-dimensional unitary irreducible representation of $G$ obtained by inducing a…

We obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for a finite group to act effectively on a closed flat manifold. Let \ $G=E_{n}(R)$, $EU_{n}(R,\Lambda ),$ $\mathrm{SAut}(F_{n})$ or $\mathrm{SOut}(F_{n}).$ As applications, we prove that when…

Given a Hopf algebra $A$ graded by a discrete group together with an action of the same group preserving the grading, we define a new Hopf algebra, which we call the graded twisting of $A$. If the action is adjoint, this new Hopf algebra is…

For a finite dimensional unital complex simple Jordan superalgebra $J$, the Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction yields a 3-graded Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak g_\flat\cong \mathfrak g_\flat(-1)\oplus\mathfrak g_\flat(0)\oplus\mathfrak…

For every smooth Jordan curve $\gamma$ and rectangle $R$ in the Euclidean plane, we show that there exists a rectangle similar to $R$ whose vertices lie on $\gamma$. The proof relies on Shevchishin's theorem that the Klein bottle does not…

A $p$-arithmetic subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q})$ like the Ihara group $\Gamma := \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[1/p])$ acts by M\"obius transformations on the Poincar\'e upper half plane $\mathcal{H}$ and on Drinfeld's $p$-adic upper half…

The Kochen-Specker no-go theorem established that hidden-variable theories in quantum mechanics necessarily admit contextuality. This theorem is formally stated in terms of the partial Boolean algebra structure of projectors on a Hilbert…

We consider the restricted Jordan plane in characteristic $2$, a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra quotient of the Jordan plane that was introduced by Cibils, Lauve and Witherspoon. We extend results from \texttt{arXiv:2002.02514} on the…
