For a compact Lie group $G$ we consider a lattice gauge model given by the $G$-Hamiltonian system which consists of the cotangent bundle of a power of $G$ with its canonical symplectic structure and standard moment map. We explicitly…

For a locally compact group G and a compact subgroup K, the corresponding Hecke algebra consists of all continuous compactly supported complex functions on G that are K-bi-invariant. There are many examples of totally disconnected locally…

We consider horofunction compactifications of symmetric spaces with respect to invariant Finsler metrics. We show that any (generalized) Satake compactification can be realized as a horofunction compactification with respect to a polyhedral…

To any compact $K\subset\hat{\mathbb{C}}$ we associate a map $\lambda_K: \hat{\mathbb{C}}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ -- the lambda function of $K$ -- such that a planar continuum $K$ is locally connected if and only if…

In this paper, we begin a quantization program for nilpotent orbits of a real semisimple Lie group. These orbits and their covers generalize the symplectic vector space. A complex structure polarizing the orbit and invariant under a maximal…

Let T be the circle and A be a T-C*-algebra. Then the T-equivariant K-theory of A is a module over the representation ring of the circle. The latter is a Laurent polynomial ring. Using the support of the module as an invariant, and…

We consider a connected compact Lie group K acting on a symplectic manifold M such that a moment map m exists. A pull-back function via m Poisson commutes with all K-invariants. Guillemin-Sternberg raised the problem to find a converse. In…

We classify invariant probability measures for non-elementary groups of automorphisms, on any compact K\"ahler surface X, under the assumption that the group contains a so-called "parabolic automorphism". We also prove that except in…

For a compact convex subset K with non-empty interior in a finite-dimensional vector space, let G be the group of all smooth diffeomorphisms of K which fix the boundary of K pointwise. We show that G is a C^0-regular infinite-dimensional…

We derive an explicit expression for the Haar integral on the quantized algebra of regular functions C_q[K] on the compact real form K of an arbitrary simply connected complex simple algebraic group G. This is done in terms of the…

Let G/H be a pseudo-Riemannian semisimple symmetric space. The tangent bundle T(G/H) contains a maximal G-invariant neighbourhood of the zero section where the adapted complex structure exists. Such neighbourhood is endowed with a canonical…

Let $X= G/K$ symmetric space of non compact type, where $G$ is a rank-one connected semisimple Lie group with finite center. We shall look at the transform $ P_\lambda f(x) = f \ast \varphi_\lambda(x)$, where, $\lambda \in \mathbb C$ and…

Let $ \tilde{G} $ be an algebraic group acting on a variety $ \tilde{L} $, and $ G \subset \tilde{G} $ a subgroup which leaves a subvariety $ L \subset \tilde{L} $ stable. For a $ G $-orbit $ O_G = G u (u \in L) $ in $ L $, we can associate…

We describe vector valued conjugacy equivariant functions on a group K in two cases -- K is a compact simple Lie group, and K is an affine Lie group. We construct such functions as weighted traces of certain intertwining operators between…

We compare the K-theories of symplectic quotients with respect to a compact connected Lie group and with respect to its maximal torus, and in particular we give a method for computing the former in terms of the latter. More specifically,…

Given a compact manifold equipped with a volume element and a Riemannian metric, we formulate and study a dual pair of optimization problems: one concerning smooth maps from the manifold into the Hilbert space $l^2$ and the other concerning…

We study a compact invariant convex set $E$ in a polar representation of a compact Lie group. Polar rapresentations are given by the adjoint action of $K$ on $\mathfrak{p}$, where $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of a real semisimple Lie…

We compute the value of finitary localizing invariants, including algebraic $K$-theory, on categories of sheaves over stably locally compact spaces $X$. Our formula simultaneously generalizes the cases of locally compact Hausdorff and…

For a K\"{a}hler manifold endowed with a weighted measure $e^{-f}\,dv,$ the associated weighted Hodge Laplacian $\Delta _{f}$ maps the space of $(p,q)$-forms to itself if and only if the $(1,0)$-part of the gradient vector field $\nabla f$…

We propose a generalization of the so-called rational map ansatz on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$, for any compact simple Lie group $G$ such that $G/{\widehat K}\otimes U(1)$ is an Hermitian symmetric space, for some subgroup…
