Let G be a connected reductive group. In this paper we are studying the invariant theory of symplectic G-modules. Our main result is that the invariant moment map is equidimensional. We deduce that the categorical quotient is a fibration…
In this paper we study the question of determining when an irreducible admissible representation of ${\rm GL}_n(D)$ admits a symplectic model, that is when such a representation has a linear functional invariant under ${\rm Sp}_n(D)$, where…
We give a classification of irreducible four-dimensional symmetric spaces $G/H$ which admit compact Clifford-Klein forms, where $G$ is the transvection group of $G/H$. For this, we develop a method that applies to particular 1-connected…
Let G be a finite subgroup of GL_n(C). A study is made of the ways in which resolutions of the quotient space C^n / G can parametrise G-constellations, that is, G-regular finite length sheaves. These generalise G-clusters, which are used in…
To an orthogonal or unitary involution on a central simple algebra of degree 4, or to a symplectic involution on a central simple algebra of degree 8, we associate a Pfister form that characterises the decomposability of the algebra with…
For a central division algebra $D$, we study a family of representations of $\mathrm{GL}_{k,D}$ (both locally and globally), which can be viewed as analogues of the Speh representations. Locally, we study unique models for these…
Let $G=\Sp(2g,\mathbb{Z})$ be the symplectic group over the integers. Given $m\in \mathbb{N}$, it is natural to ask if there exists a non-trivial matrix $A\in G$ such that $A^{m}=I$, where $I$ is the identity matrix in $G$. In this paper,…
The analogue of Lagrangians for symplectic forms over finite groups is studied, motivated by the fact that symplectic G-forms with a normal Lagrangian N<G are in one-to-one correspondence, up to inflation, with bijective 1-cocycle data on…
Let k be a quadratic field. We give an explicit formula for the Dirichlet series enumerating cubic fields whose quadratic resolvent field is isomorphic to k. Our work is a sequel to previous work of Cohen and Morra, where such formulas are…
We use symplectic reduction to give a new construction of the core $C$ of a symplectic double groupoid $D$ as the common leaf space of characteristic foliations associated to various coisotropic submanifolds of $D$. In the case of the…
We give a proof, using so-called fusion rings and q-deformations of Brauer algebras that the representation ring of an orthogonal or symplectic group can be obtained as a quotient of a ring Gr(O(\infinity)). This is obtained here as a…
When a complex semisimple group $G$ acts holomorphically on a K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega)$ such that a maximal compact subgroup $K\subset G$ preserves the symplectic form $\omega$, a basic result of symplectic geometry says that the…
Unfortunately, some proofs in the first version of this paper were incorrect. In this revised version, some minor gaps are fixed, one serious mistake found. The main theorem is now claimed only under a restrictive technical assumption. This…
The faithful irreducible $*$-representations of the $C^*$-algebra of the quantum symplectic sphere $S_q^{4n-1}, n\geq 2$, have been investigated by D'Andrea and Landi. They proved that the first $n-1$ generators are all zero inside…
In this paper we deal with symplectic Lie algebras. All symplectic structures are determined for dimension four and the corresponding Lie algebras are classified up to equivalence. Symplectic four dimensional Lie algebras are described…
Problem: Given a reductive algebraic group G, find all k-tuples of parabolic subgroups (P_1,...,P_k) such that the product of flag varieties G/P_1 x ... x G/P_k has finitely many orbits under the diagonal action of G. In this case we call…
An element w of a Weyl group W is called elliptic if it has no eigenvalue 1 in the standard reflection representation. We determine the order of any representative g in a semisimple algebraic group G of an elliptic element w in the…
In this paper we consider the problem of decomposing tensor products of certain singular unitary representations of a semisimple Lie group G. Using explicit models for these representations (constructed earlier by one of us) we show that…
