Many common methods for data analysis rely on linear algebra. We provide new results connecting data analysis error to numerical accuracy, which leads to the first meaningful stopping criterion for two way spectral partitioning. More…
For a field $F$ of characteristic not 2 and a directed row-finite graph $\Gamma$ let $L(\Gamma)$ be the Leavitt path algebra with the standard involution $*.$ We study the Lie algebra $K=K(L(\Gamma),*)$ of $*-$skew-symmetric elements and…
This paper defines and studies a stratification of the adjoint quotient of the Lie algebra of a reductive group over a Laurent power series field. The stratification arises naturally in the context of affine Springer fibers.
Schur's transforms of a polynomial are used to count its roots in the unit disk. These are generalized them by introducing the sequence of symmetric sub-resultants of two polynomials. Although they do have a determinantal definition, we…
This paper is focused on the structure of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a punctured surface at roots of unity. A criterion that determines when a collection of skeins forms a basis of the skein algebra as an extension over the…
We derive and prove an explicit formula for the sum of the fractional parts of certain geometric series. Although the proof is straightforward, we have been unable to locate any reference to this result. This summation formula allows us to…
We develop an algebraic approach to the branching of representations of the general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}_{p|q}({\mathbb C})$, by constructing certain super commutative algebras whose structure encodes the branching rules.…
A rigorous geometric proof of the Lie's Theorem on nonlinear superposition rules for solutions of non-autonomous ordinary differential equations is given filling in all the gaps present in the existing literature. The proof is based on an…
Given a complex simply connected simple algebraic group $G$ of exceptional type and a maximal parabolic subgroup $P \subset G$, we classify all triples $(G,P,H)$ such that $H \subset G$ is a maximal reductive subgroup acting spherically on…
Prime power fold cyclic branched covers along smoothly slice knots all bound rational homology balls. This phenomenon, however, does not characterize slice knots. In this paper, we give a new construction of non-slice knots that have the…
The adjoint action of a finite group of Lie type on its Lie algebra is studied. A simple formula is conjectured for the number of split semisimple orbits of a given genus. This conjecture is proved for type A, and partial results are…
We perform a systematic study of $SU(2)$ flavor amplitude sum rules with particular emphasis on $U$-spin. This study reveals a rich mathematical structure underlying the sum rules that allows us to formulate an algorithm for deriving all…
Extended affine root systems appear as the root systems of extended affine Lie algebras. A subclass of extended affine root systems, whose elements are called ``minimal" turns out to be of special interest mostly because of the geometric…
Branch points of a real 2-surface S in a 4-manifold M generalize the branch points of complex curves in complex surfaces: for example, they can occur as singularities of minimal surfaces. We investigate such a branch point p when S is…
We present an overview of results on branching laws for square integrable representations of a semisimple Lie group, restricted to a closed reductive subgroup. The overview is partial and it is based on joint work with Bent {\O}rsted and…
An algorithm for embedding finite dimensional Lie algebras into Lie algebras of vector fields (and Lie superalgebras into Lie superalgebras of vector fields) is offered in a way applicable over ground fields of any characteristic. The…
We classify (*)-subgroups of compact Lie groups of adjoint type, and associate a twisted root system to every (*)-subgroup. We study the structure of twisted root system in several aspects: properties of the small Weyl group W_{small} and…
We consider the problem of constructing semisimple subalgebras of real (semi-) simple Lie algebras. We develop computational methods that help to deal with this problem. Our methods boil down to solving a set of polynomial equations. In…
We introduce a concept of an embedding of a quadratic space in an associative algebra. The general properties of such embeddings are analyzed by linking it to the Clifford algebra. Conversely, there isa simple description of the standard…
We provide an explicit algorithm to calculate invariant tensors for the adjoint representation of the simple Lie algebra $sl(n)$, as well as arbitrary representation in terms of roots. We also obtain explicit formulae for the adjoint…
