A weighted complementarity problem (wCP) is to find a pair of vectors belonging to the intersection of a manifold and a cone such that the product of the vectors in a certain algebra equals a given weight vector. If the weight vector is…

An algebra denoted $m\mathfrak{H}$ with three generators is introduced and shown to admit embeddings of the Hahn algebra and the rational Hahn algebra. It has a real version of the deformed Jordan plane as a subalgebra whose connection with…

We first establish several general properties of modality of algebraic group actions. In particular, we introduce the notion of a modality-regular action and prove that every visible action is modality-regular. Then, using these results, we…

We construct an L^2-model of "very small" irreducible unitary representations of simple Lie groups G which, up to finite covering, occur as conformal groups Co(V) of simple Jordan algebras V. If $V$ is split and G is not of type A_n, then…

Given a simple Lie group G of rank 1, we consider compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M,g) of signature (p,q) on which G can act conformally. Precisely, we determine the smallest possible value for the index min(p,q) of the metric. When…

Let $X$ be a smooth manifold belonging to one of these three collections: acyclic manifolds (compact or not, possibly with boundary), compact connected manifolds (possibly with boundary) with nonzero Euler characteristic, integral homology…

We introduce the Jordan-strict topology on the multipliers algebra of a JB$^*$-algebra, a notion which was missing despite the fourty years passed after the first studies on Jordan multipliers. In case that a C$^*$-algebra $A$ is regarded…

This is a survey of work in which the author was involved in recent years. We consider C*-algebras constructed from representations of one or several algebraic endomorphisms of a compact abelian group - or, dually, of a discrete abelian…

An isometric compact group action $G \times (M,g) \rightarrow (M,g)$ is called polar if there exists a closed embedded submanifold $\Sigma \subseteq M$ which meets all orbits orthogonally. Let $\Pi$ be the associated generalized Weyl group.…

We study slow entropy invariants for abelian unipotent actions $U$ on any finite volume homogeneous space $G/\Gamma$. For every such action we show that the topological slow entropy can be computed directly from the dimension of a special…

Projective geometry provides the preferred framework for most implementations of Euclidean space in graphics applications. Translations and rotations are both linear transformations in projective geometry, which helps when it comes to…

We prove that every Jordan left $\alpha$-centralizer from an algebra $A$ with a right identity into an arbitrary algebra $B$ is a left $\alpha$-centralizer. This implies all Jordan homomorphisms between such algebras are homomorphisms. We…

Let $J$ be a finite-dimensional semi-simple Jordan algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. In this article, the diagonal action of the automorphism group of $J$ on the $n$-fold product $J\times\ldots \times J$ is…

Let X be an algebraic projective variety in {\bf P}^n. Denote by {\cal C}_{\lambda} the space of all effective cycles on X whose homology class is \lambda \in H_{2p} (X,{\bf Z}). It is easy to show that {\cal C}_{\lambda} is an algebraic…

Partial actions of groups on C*-algebras and the closely related actions and coactions of Hopf algebras received much attention over the last decades. They arise naturally as restrictions of their global counterparts to non-invariant…

We study submodules of analytic Hilbert modules defined over certain algebraic varieties in bounded symmetric domains, the so-called Jordan-Kepler varieties $V_\ell$ of arbitrary rank $\ell.$ For $\ell>1$ the singular set of $V_\ell$ is not…

This paper is devoted to the study of generalized subdifferentials of spectral functions over Euclidean Jordan algebras. Spectral functions appear often in optimization problems playing the role of "regularizer", "barrier", "penalty…

We investigate the action spectrum of Hill's lunar problem by observing inclusions between the Liouville domains enclosed by the regularized energy hypersurfaces of the rotating Kepler problem and Hill's lunar problem. In this paper, we…

The theory of Toeplitz quantization presented in our previous paper is extended and further developed to include diverse and interesting non-commutative realizations of the classical Euclidean plane. This is done using Hilbert spaces of…
