The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups $G$, and to describe their connections to classical representation…

We investigate the geometry of a certain space of meromorphic connections with irregular singularities, and prove in particular that it is a (real) symplectic Lie groupoid. The connections have a physical meaning: they correspond to certain…

It is one of the wonderful ``coincidences'' of the theory of finite groups that the simple group G of order 25920 arises as both a symplectic group in characteristic 3 and a unitary group in characteristic 2. These two realizations of G…

We construct a Langlands parameterization of supercuspidal representations of $G_2$ over a $p$-adic field. More precisely, for any finite extension $K / \QQ_p$ we will construct a bijection \[ \CL_g : \CA^0_g(G_2,K) \rightarrow \CG^0(G_2,K)…

We present some fundamental facts about a class of generalized K\"ahler structures defined by invariant complex structures on compact Lie groups. The main computational tool is the BH-to-GK spectral sequences that relate the bi-Hermitian…

Regular Lie groups are infinite dimensional Lie groups with the property that smooth curves in the Lie algebra integrate to smooth curves in the group in a smooth way (an `evolution operator' exists). Up to now all known smooth Lie groups…

In this paper, we describe a regular representation given by Cayley theorem for 2-crossed modules of groups and their associated Gray 3-group groupoids with a single 0-cell and equivalently cat2-groups.

For any abelian category \calC satsifying (AB5) over a separated, quasi-compact scheme S, we construct a stack of 2-groups \GL(\calC) over the flat site of S. We will give a concrete description of \GL(\calC) when \calC is the category of…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $P \to M$ a smooth principal $G$-bundle. Let a `cylinder function' on the space $\A$ of smooth connections on $P$ be a continuous function of the holonomies of $A$ along finitely many piecewise…

Let $G$ be a Lie group with a biinvariant metric, not necessarily positive definite. It is shown that a certain construction carried out in an earlier paper for the fundamental group of a closed surface may be extended to an arbitrary…

The geometry of the target space of an N=(2,2) supersymmetry sigma-model carries a generalized Kahler structure. There always exists a real function, the generalized Kahler potential K, that encodes all the relevant local differential…

Let $G$ be a Lie group and $G\to\Aut(G)$ be the canonical group homomorphism induced by the adjoint action of a group on itself. We give an explicit description of a 1-1 correspondence between Morita equivalence classes of, on the one hand,…

Motivated by analogous results in locally conformal symplectic geometry, we study different classes of G$_2$-structures defined by a locally conformal closed 3-form. In particular, we give a complete characterization of invariant exact…

Let G be a n-dimensional Lie group (n>2) with a bi-invariant Riemannian metric. We prove that if a surface of constant Gaussian curvature in G can be expressed as the product of two curves, then it must be flat. In particular, we can…

Classical affine Lie algebras appear e.g. as symmetries of infinite dimensional integrable systems and are related to certain differential equations. They are central extensions of current algebras associated to finite-dimensional Lie…

We call a unital locally convex algebra $A$ a continuous inverse algebra if its unit group $A^\times$ is open and inversion is a continuous map. For any smooth action of a, possibly infinite-dimensional, connected Lie group $G$ on a…

We formulate a tropical analogue of Grothendieck's section conjecture: that for every stable graph G of genus g>2, and every field k, the generic curve with reduction type G over k satisfies the section conjecture. We prove many cases of…

Every Lie group $G$ carries a distinguished algebra of particularly well-behaved real-analytic mappings: The entire functions $\mathcal{E}(G)$. They were introduced for the purposes of strict deformation quantization. This paper establishes…

We study hyperelliptic curves C with an action of an affine group of automorphisms G. We establish a closed form expression for the quotient curve C/G and for the first etale cohomology group of C as a representation of G. The motivation…

The aim of this paper is to use the so-called Cayley transform to compute the LS category of Lie groups and homogeneous spaces by giving explicit categorical open coverings. When applied to U(n), $U(2n)/Sp(n)$ and $U(n)/O(n)$ this method is…
