We generalize classical kinematic formulas for convex bodies in a real vector space $V$ to the setting of non-compact Lie groups admitting a Cartan decomposition. Specifically, let $G$ be a closed linear group with Cartan decomposition $G…

Suppose that $\Gamma=(V,E)$ is a graph with vertices $V$, edges $E$, a free group action on the vertices $\mathbb{Z}^d \curvearrowright V$ with finitely many orbits, and a linear operator $D$ on the Hilbert space $l^2(V)$ such that $D$…

A classification is given of the exceptional $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric spaces $G/K$ by A.Kollross, where $G$ is an exceptional compact Lie group or $S\!pin(8)$, and moreover the structure of $K$ is determined as Lie…

Let mathcal{O}_lambda be a generic coadjoint orbit of a compact semi-simple Lie group K. Weight varieties are the symplectic reductions of mathcal{O}_lambda by the maximal torus T in K. We use a theorem of Tolman and Weitsman to compute the…

The Hausdorff distance, the Gromov-Hausdorff, the Fr\'echet and the natural pseudo-distances are instances of dissimilarity measures widely used in shape comparison. We show that they share the property of being defined as $\inf_\rho…

The phase space of a compact, irreducible, simply connected, Riemannian symmetric space admits a natural family of K\"ahler polarizations parametrized by the upper half plane $S$. Using this family, geometric quantization, including the…

The paper introduces a general method to construct conformal measures for a local homeomorphism on a locally compact non-compact Hausdorff space, subject to mild irreducibility-like conditions. Among others the method is used to give…

We present an expanded expository account of the $K$-moment problem for polynomial algebras over \(\R^d\), with special emphasis on compact basic closed semialgebraic sets. The central question is to characterize those linear functionals on…

We study the action of a real reductive group $G$ on a real submanifold $X$ of a Kahler manifold $Z$. We suppose that the action of a compact connected Lie group $U$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{u}$ extends holomorphically to an action of…

A Riemannian metric on a manifold M induces a family of Riemannian metrics on the loop space LM depending on a Sobolev space parameter s. We compute the connection forms of these metrics and the higher symbols of their curvature forms,…

Let $X$ denote a noncompact finite volume hyperbolic Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$, with only one puncture at $i\infty$ (identifying $X$ with its universal cover $\mathbb{H}$). Let $\overline{X}:=X\cup\lbrace i\infty\rbrace$ denote the…

Let $(G,K)$ be a Riemannian symmetric pair of maximal rank, where $G$ is a compact simply connected Lie group and $K$ the fixed point set of an involutive automorphism $\sigma$. This induces an involutive automorphism $\tau$ of the based…

Let $P=G/K$ be a semisimple non-compact Riemannian symmetric space, where $G=I_0(P)$ and $K=G_p$ is the stabilizer of $p\in P$. Let $X$ be an orbit of the (isotropy) representation of $K$ on $T_p(P)$ ($X$ is called a real flag manifold).…

It is well known that if $G/K$ is any irreducible symmetric space and $\mu _{a}$ is a continuous orbital measure supported on the double coset $KaK,$ then the convolution product, $\mu _{a}^{k},$ is absolutely continuous for some suitably…

We extend harmonic map techniques to the setting of more general differential equations in conformal geometry. We obtain an extension of Siu's rigidity to Kahler-Weyl geometry and apply the latter to Vaisman's conjecture. Other applications…

Let $G/K$ be a simply connected compact irreducible symmetric space of real rank one. For each $K$-type $\tau$ we compare the notions of $\tau$-representation equivalence with $\tau$-isospectrality. We exhibit infinitely many $K$-types…

We extend the framework of modular invariant supersymmetric theories to encompass invariance under more general discrete groups $\Gamma$, that allow the presence of several moduli and make connection with the theory of automorphic forms.…

If {\omega} is a closed G-invariant 2-form and {\mu} a moment map, then we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for equivariant pre-quantizability that can be computed in terms of the moment map {\mu}. We also compute the obstructions…

A homogeneous Riemannian space $(M= G/H,g)$ is called a geodesic orbit space (shortly, GO-space) if any geodesic is an orbit of one-parameter subgroup of the isometry group $G$. We study the structure of compact GO-spaces and give some…

Given a reflection group $G$ acting on a complex vector space $V$, a reflection map is the composition of an embedding $X \hookrightarrow V$ with the orbit map $V\to\mathbb C^p$ that maps a $G$-orbit to a point. Reflection maps can be very…
