We study maximal Poisson-commutative subalgebras in the Poisson algebra $S(\mathfrak{g})$ of a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ constructed by Mischenko and Fomenko with the help of the argument shift method. We prove that these…

The higher rank Racah algebra $R(n)$ introduced recently is recalled. A quotient of this algebra by central elements, which we call the special Racah algebra $sR(n)$, is then introduced. Using results from classical invariant theory, this…

We describe representation theorems for local and perfect MV-algebras in terms of ultraproducts involving the unit interval [0,1]. Furthermore, we give a representation of local Abelian lattice-ordered groups with strong unit as…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a finite 2-group. We show that the 2-category $2\mathrm{Rep}(\mathcal{G})$ of finite semisimple 2-representations is a symmetric fusion 2-category. We also relate the auto-equivalence 2-group of the symmetric monoidal…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial finite subgroup of $\SL_n(\C)$. Suppose that the quotient singularity $\C^n/G$ has a crepant resolution $\pi\colon X\to \C^n/G$ (i.e. $K_X = \shfO_X$). There is a slightly imprecise conjecture, called the McKay…

Given any representation V of a complex linear reductive Lie group G_0, we show that a larger semi-simple Lie group G with g=g_0 + V + V* + ..., exists precisely when V has a finite number of G_0-orbits. In particular, V admits an open…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group of finite virtual cohomological dimension with certain finiteness conditions of the type satisfied by arithmetic groups. We define a representation ring for $\Gamma$, determined on its elements of finite…

The quasi-partition algebras were introduced by Daugherty and the first author as centralizers of the symmetric group. In this article, we give a more general definition of these algebras and give a construction of their simple modules. In…

We investigate spacetimes with their singular boundaries as noncommutative spaces. Such a space is defined by a noncommutative algebra on a transformation groupoid $\Gamma = E \times G$, where $E$ is the total space of the frame bundle over…

Walks on the representation graph $\mathcal R_{\mathsf{V}}(\mathsf{G})$ determined by a group $\mathsf{G}$ and a $\mathsf{G}$-module $\mathsf{V}$ are related to the centralizer algebras of the action of $\mathsf{G}$ on the tensor powers…

Let $\frak{g} = \frak{k} +\frak{p}$ be a complexified Cartan decomposition of a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\frak{g}$ and let $K$ be the subgroup of the adjoint group of $\frak{g}$ corresponding to $\frak{k} $. If $H$ is an irreducible…

Given a representation V of a group G, there are two natural ways of defining a representation of the group algebra k[G] in the external power V^{\wedge m}. The set L(V) of elements of k[G] for which these two ways give the same result is a…

The centralizer algebra of the action of the unitary group on the real tensor powers of its natural module, is described by means of a modification in the multiplication of the signed Brauer algebras. The relationships of this algebra with…

This paper is a continuation of our paper math.QA/0403010 at which several coset subalgebras of the lattice VOA $V_{\sqrt{2}E_8}$ were constructed and the relationship between such algebras with the famous McKay observation on the extended…

We first formulate a definition of tensor product for two modules for a vertex operator algebra in terms of a certain universal property and then we give a construction of tensor products. We prove the unital property of the adjoint module…

For any finite graph Gamma and any field K of characteristic unequal to 2 we construct an algebraic variety X over K whose K-points parameterise K-Lie algebras generated by extremal elements, corresponding to the vertices of the graph, with…

We introduce a new approach to the study of finite-dimensional representations of the quantum group of the affine Lie superalgebra $\mathrm{L}\mathfrak{gl}_{M|N}=\mathbb{C}[t,t^{-1}]\otimes\mathfrak{gl}_{M|N}$ ($M\neq N$). We explain how…

Let $k$ be a field, let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $k$, and let $V$ be a linear representation of $G$. Geometric invariant theory involves the study of the $k$-algebra of $G$-invariant polynomials on $V$, and the relation…

A new class of infinite dimensional representations of the Yangians $Y(\frak{g})$ and $Y(\frak{b})$ corresponding to a complex semisimple algebra $\frak{g}$ and its Borel subalgebra $\frak{b}\subset\frak{g}$ is constructed. It is based on…

For half a century, Mackey and Green functors have been successfully used to model the induction and restriction maps which are ubiquitous in the representation theory of finite groups. In the examples, the latter maps are typically…
