There are 432 strongly squarefree symmetric bilinear forms of signature $(2,1)$ defined over $\Z[\sqrt{2}]$ whose integral isometry groups are generated up to finite index by finitely many reflections. We adapted Allcock's method (based on…

We find the fusion rules for the quantum analogues of the complex reflection groups $H_n^s=\mathbb Z_s\wr S_n$. The irreducible representations can be indexed by the elements of the free monoid $\mathbb N^{*s}$, and their tensor products…

Hyperbolic Dehn surgery and the bending procedure provide two ways which can be used to describe hyperbolic deformations of a complete hyperbolic structure on a 3-manifold. Moreover, one can obtain examples of non-Haken manifolds without…

To be compatible with general relativity, every fundamental theory should be invariant under general coordinate transformations including spatial reflection. This paper describes an extension of the standard model in which the action is…

In this paper we use the quantization of fields based on Geometric Langlands Correspondence \cite{diep1} to realize the automorphic representations of some concrete series of groups: for the affine Heisenberg (loop) groups it is reduced to…

There is a well-known correspondence between the symplectic variety of representations of the fundamental group of a punctured Riemann surface into a compact Lie group G, with fixed conjugacy classes at the punctures, and a complex variety…

Two ideal polygons, $(p_1,\ldots,p_n)$ and $(q_1,\ldots,q_n)$, in the hyperbolic plane or in hyperbolic space are said to be $\alpha$-related if the cross-ratio $[p_i,p_{i+1},q_i,q_{i+1}] = \alpha$ for all $i$ (the vertices lie on the…

This note extends some results of a previous paper (math.RT/0403250) about finite dimensional representations of the wreath product symplectic reflection algebra H(k,c,N,G) of rank N attached to a finite subgroup G of SL(2,C) (here k is a…

Extending Aanderaa's classical result that $\pi^1_1<\sigma^1_1$, we determine the order between any two patterns of iterated $\Sigma^1_1$- and $\Pi^1_1$-reflection. We show that this \emph{linear reflection order} is a prewellordering of…

Unification ideas motivate the formulation of field equations on an extended spin space. Demanding that the Poincare symmetry be maintained, one derives scalar symmetries that are associated with flavor and gauge groups. Boson and fermion…

We study compact minimal surfaces in the 3-sphere which are constructed by successive reflections from a minimal $n$-gon -- so-called minimal reflection surfaces. The minimal $n$-gon solves a free boundary problem in a fundamental piece of…

For $p,q\in [1,\infty)$, we study the isomorphism problem for the $p$- and $q$-convolution algebras associated to locally compact groups. While it is well known that not every group can be recovered from its group von Neumann algebra, we…

A hyperbolic 3-simplex reflection group is a Coxeter group arising as a lattice in the isometry group of hyperbolic 3-space, with fundamental domain a geodesic simplex (possibly with some ideal vertices). The classification of these groups…

Let G be a branch group (as defined by Grigorchuk) acting on a tree T. A parabolic subgroup P is the stabiliser of an infinite geodesic ray in T. We denote by $\rho_{G/P}$ the associated quasi-regular representation. If G is discrete, these…

The authors study theoretically reflection on the surface of a metamaterial with a hyperbolic dispersion. It is found that reflection is strongly dependent on how the surface is terminated with respect to the asymptote of the hyperbolic…

We give a solution to Dehn's isomorphism problem for the class of all hyperbolic groups, possibly with torsion. We also prove a relative version for groups with peripheral structures. As a corollary, we give a uniform solution to…

Configurations of points defined by complex reflection groups have attracted a lot of attention recently in several directions of research, e.g., the containment problem between ordinary and symbolic powers of ideals, in the theory of…

We study the unitary boundary representation of a strongly transitive group acting on a right-angled hyperbolic building. We show its irreducibility. We do so by associating to such a representation a representation of a certain Hecke…

We study relations between special elliptic isometries in the complex hyperbolic plane. Relations of lengths 2, 3, and 4 are fully classified. Some relative SU(2,1)-character varieties of the quadruply punctured sphere are described and…

Reflection equation for the scattering of lines moving in half-plane is obtained. The corresponding geometric picture is related with configurations of half-planes touching the boundary plane in 2+1 dimensions. This equation can be obtained…
