We first prove, for pairs consisting of a simply connected complex reductive group together with a connected subgroup, the equivalence between two different notions of Gelfand pairs. This partially answers a question posed by Gross, and…
We introduce extensions of the multidimensional Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ by two-parameter groups of dilations, and then classify the extended groups up to isomorphism, by employing Lie algebra techniques. We show that the groups are…
It is well-known that a Riemann surface can be decomposed into the so-called pairs-of-pants. Each pair-of-pants is diffeomorphic to a Riemann sphere minus 3 points. We show that a smooth complex projective hypersurface of arbitrary…
A Gelfand model for a semisimple algebra A over C is a complex linear representation that contains each irreducible representation of A with multiplicity exactly one. We give a method of constructing these models that works uniformly for a…
In order to find out whether there exists a thermodynamic description of the glass phase, the Ehrenfest relations along the glass transition line are reconsidered. It is explained that the one involving the compressibility is always…
In Oste and Van der Jeugt, SIGMA, 12 (2016) we classified all pairs of recurrence relations in which two (dual) Hahn polynomials with different parameters appear. Such pairs are referred to as (dual) Hahn doubles, and the same technique was…
The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},\ldots , a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} \cdots a_{\sigma (n)}$, where…
We describe Rudin-Keisler preorders and distribution functions of numbers of limit models for disjoint unions of Ehrenfeucht theories. Decomposition formulas for these distributions are found.
From any two median spaces $X,Y$, we construct a new median space $X \circledast Y$, referred to as the diadem product of $X$ and $Y$, and we show that this construction is compatible with wreath products in the following sense: given two…
We classify all pairs of recurrence relations in which two Hahn or dual Hahn polynomials with different parameters appear. Such couples are referred to as (dual) Hahn doubles. The idea and interest comes from an example appearing in a…
The paper deals with the z-measures on partitions with the deformation (Jack) parameters 2 or 1/2. We provide a detailed explanation of the representation-theoretic origin of these measures, and of their role in the harmonic analysis on the…
In the present paper we prove a strong form of Arnold diffusion. Let $\mathbb{T}^2$ be the two torus and $B^2$ be the unit ball around the origin in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Fix $\rho>0$. Our main result says that for a "generic" time-periodic…
We give a characterization of positive definite integrable functions on a product of two Gelfand pairs as an integral of positive definite functions on one of the Gelfand pairs with respect to the Plancherel measure on the dual of the other…
We prove that a finite complex reflection group has a generalized involution model, as defined by Bump and Ginzburg, if and only if each of its irreducible factors is either $G(r,p,n)$ with $\gcd(p,n)=1$; $G(r,p,2)$ with $r/p$ odd; or…
We introduce two new types of Dehn functions of group presentations which seem more suitable (than the standard Dehn function) for infinite group presentations and prove the fundamental equivalence between the solvability of the word…
In this paper we introduce an intrinsic version of the classical induction of representations for a subgroup $H$ of a (finite) group $G$, called here {\em geometric induction}, which associates to any, not necessarily transitive, $G$-set…
The generalized Honeymoon Oberwolfach Problem (HOP) asks whether it is possible to seat $2n$ participants consisting of $n$ newlywed couples at a conference with $s$ tables of size $2$ and $t$ ''round'' tables of sizes $2m_1, 2m_2, \ldots,…
We construct an invariant of closed oriented $3$-manifolds using a finite dimensional, involutory, unimodular and counimodular Hopf algebra $H$. We use the framework of normal o-graphs introduced by R. Benedetti and C. Petronio, in which…
We present an approach to sums of random Hermitian matrices via the theory of spherical functions for the Gelfand pair $(\mathrm{U}(n) \ltimes \mathrm{Herm}(n), \mathrm{U}(n))$. It is inspired by a similar approach of Kieburg and K\"osters…
The main result of this paper is an effective count for Apollonian circle packings that are either bounded or contain two parallel lines. We obtain this by proving an effective equidistribution of closed horospheres in the unit tangent…
