We consider SU(3)-equivariant dimensional reduction of Yang-Mills theory on Kaehler manifolds of the form M x SU(3)/H, with H = SU(2) x U(1) or H = U(1) x U(1). The induced rank two quiver gauge theories on M are worked out in detail for…

We establish a connection between the problem of constructing maximal collections of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and an open problem in the theory of Lie algebras. More precisely, we show that a collection of m MUBs in K^n gives rise to…

We introduce the $SU(N)$ Casson-Lin invariants for links $L$ in $S^3$ with more than one component. Writing $L = \ell_1 \cup \cdots \cup \ell_n$, we require as input an $n$-tuple $(a_1,\ldots, a_n) \in {\mathbb Z}^n$ of labels, where $a_j$…

Over an algebraically closed base field $k$ of characteristic 2, the ring $R^G$ of invariants is studied, $G$ being the orthogonal group O(n) or the special orthogonal group SO(n) and acting naturally on the coordinate ring $R$ of the…

We investigate the $G$-representation varieties of right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs) for various Lie groups $G$. We show these varieties are connected for a large class of such $G$, including $\mathrm{SU}(n), \mathrm{Sp}(n)$ and…

The extension of the noncommutative u*(N) Lie algebra to noncommutative orthogonal and symplectic Lie algebras is studied. Using an anti-automorphism of the star-matrix algebra, we show that the u*(N) can consistently be restricted to o*(N)…

Type I string theory can be dimensionally reduced on group manifolds. The compactification on $S^3\times S^3$ leads to the N=4 gauged SU(2)$\times$SU(2) supergravity in four dimensions, which admits the BPS monopole type non-Abelian vacuum.…

We develop a semigroup approach to representation theory for pro-Lie groups satisfying suitable amenability conditions. As an application of our approach, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of unitary…

These notes of a course given at IRMA in April 2009 cover some aspects of the representation theory of fundamental groups of manifolds of dimension at most 3 in compact Lie groups, mainly $\su$. We give detailed examples, develop the…

In this paper, we study the representations and module-extensions of hom 3-Lie algebras. We show that a linear map between hom 3-Lie algebras is a morphism if and only if its graph is a hom 3-Lie subalgebra and show that the derivations of…

In the present paper we review our project of systematic construction of invariant differential operators on the example of the non-compact algebras su(n,n) for n=2,3,4. We give explicitly the main multiplets of indecomposable elementary…

We give necessary conditions for the existence of degenerations between two complex Lie superalgebras of dimension $(m,n)$. As an application, we study the variety $\mathcal{LS}^{(2,2)}$ of complex Lie superalgebras of dimension $(2,2)$.…

We study an extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with a gauge group $SU(2)_1\otimes SU(2)_2$ breaking to $SU(2)_L$. The extra wino has an enhanced gauge coupling to the SM-like Higgs boson and, if light, has a relevant…

We calculate the first extension groups for finite-dimensional simple modules over an arbitrary generalized current Lie algebra, which includes the case of loop Lie algebras and their multivariable analogs.

We consider some special type extensions of an arbitrary Lie algebra ${\cal G}$, arising in the theory of Lie-Poisson structures over $({\cal G}^*)^n$, where ${\cal G}^*$ is the dual of ${\cal G}$. We show that some classes of these…

We generalize the prequantization central extension of a group of diffeomorphisms preserving a closed 2-form \omega (\omega-invariant diffeomorphisms) to an abelian extension of a group of diffeomorphisms preserving a closed vector valued…

We analyze correlation functions of $SU(k) \times SU(2)_F$ flavor currents in a family of three-dimensional ${\cal N}=4$ superconformal field theories, combining analytic bootstrap methods with input from supersymmetric localization. Via…

We find the irreducible decomposition of the Weil representation of the unitary group $\mathrm{U}_{2n}(A)$, where $A$ is a ramified quadratic extension of a finite, commutative, local, principal ideal ring $R$ and the nilpotency degree of…

In this article it is shown that S-Expansion procedure affects the geometry of a Lie group, changing it an leading us to the geometry of another Lie group with higher dimensionality. Is outlined, via an example, a method for determining the…

A cohomology theory, associated to a $n$-Lie algebra and a representation space of it, is introduced. It is observed that this cohomology theory is qualified to encode the generalized derivation extensions, and that it coincides, for $n=3$,…
