Dimensional reduction of the D=2 minimal super Yang-Mills to the D=1 matrix quantum mechanics is shown to double the number of dynamical supersymmetries, from N=1 to N=2. We analyze the most general supersymmetric deformations of the…
A Fock space is introduced that admits an action of a quantum group of type A supplemented with some extra operators. The canonical and dual canonical basis of the Fock space are computed and then used to derive the finite-dimenisonal…
We show that in characteristic 2, the Steinberg representation of the symplectic group Sp(2n,q), q a power of an odd prime p, has two irreducible constituents lying just above the socle that are isomorphic to the two Weil modules of degree…
A $Z_2\times Z_2$-graded Lie superalgebra $g$ is a $Z_2\times Z_2$-graded algebra with a bracket $[.,.]$ that satisfies certain graded versions of the symmetry and Jacobi identity. In particular, despite the common terminology, $g$ is not a…
The general method of Reshetikhin and Turaev is followed to develop topological invariants of closed, connected, orientable 3-manifolds from a new class of algebras called pseudo-modular Hopf algebras. Pseudo-modular Hopf algebras are a…
Inspired by the Lichnerowicz-Obata theorem for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian, we define a new family of invariants $\{\Omega_k(g)\}$ for closed Riemannian manifolds. The value of $\Omega_k(g)$ delicately reflects the spherical part…
The embedding of the isometry group of the coset spaces SU(1,n)/ U(1)xSU(n) in Sp(2n+2,R) is discussed. The knowledge of such embedding provides a tool for the determination of the holomorphic prepotential characterizing the special…
Uhlenbeck introduced an invariant, the (minimal) uniton number, of harmonic 2-spheres in a Lie group G and proved that when G=SU(n) the uniton number cannot exceed n-1. In this paper, using new methods inspired by Morse Theory, we explain…
For the orthogonal Lie algebra O(2n+1), in addition to the conventional set of orthogonal polynomials, another set is produced with the help of the Lie superalgebra OSP(1|2n). Difficulties related with expression of Dyson's constant for the…
We examine rectangular W-algebras with $so(M)$ or $sp(2M)$ symmetry, which can be realized as the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravities with restricted matrix extensions. We compute the central charges of the algebras and the levels…
We study the spectral problem of N=4 SYM with gauge group SO(N) and Sp(N). At the planar level, the difference to the case of gauge group SU(N) is only due to certain states being projected out, however at the non-planar level novel effects…
We establish an $S$-duality converse to the one studied by the 1st, 2nd and 4th authors; this is also a case of a twisted version of the relative Langlands duality of Ben Zvi, Sakellaridis and Venkatesh.. Namely, we prove that the $S$-dual…
We present SU$(2|1)$ supersymmetric mechanics on $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds within the Hamiltonian approach. The structure functions including prepotentials entering the supercharges and the Hamiltonian obey extended curved WDVV…
It is known that the defining triple relations of m pairs of parafermion operators and n pairs of paraboson operators with relative parafermion relations can be considered as defining relations for the Lie superalgebra osp(2m+1|2n) in terms…
In a recent paper characters and superdimension formulas were investigated for the class of representations with Dynkin labels $[0,\ldots,0,p]$ of the Lie superalgebra $osp(m|n)$. Such representations are infinite-dimensional, and of…
In Part 1 we study the spherical functions on compact symmetric pairs of arbitrary rank under a suitable multiplicity freeness assumption and additional conditions on the branching rules. The spherical functions are taking values in the…
Supersymmetric quantum mechanics is constructed in a new non-Hermitian representation. Firstly, the map between the partner operators $H^{(\pm)}$ is chosen antilinear. Secondly, both these components of a super-Hamiltonian ${\cal H}$ are…
Two descriptions of the dual $-1$ Hahn algebra are presented and shown to be related under Howe duality. The dual pair involved is formed by the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{o}(4)$ and the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$.
The action of the subgroup $\operatorname{G}_2$ of $\operatorname{SO}(7)$ (resp.\ $\operatorname{Spin}(7)$ of $\operatorname{SO}(8)$) on the Grassmannian space $M=\frac{\operatorname{SO}(7)}{\operatorname{SO}(5)\times\operatorname{SO}(2)}$…
