We describe the full group of isometries of absolutely simple, compact, connected real Lie groups, of SO(4) and of U(n), endowed with suitable bi-invariant Riemannian metrics.

Infinitesimal symmetries of a classical mechanical system are usually described by a Lie algebra acting on the phase space, preserving the Poisson brackets. We propose that a quantum analogue is the action of a Lie bi-algebra on the…

We define orbifold mapping class groups (with marked points) and study them using their action on certain orbifold analogs of arcs and simple closed curves. Moreover, we establish a Birman exact sequence for suitable subgroups of orbifold…

We investigate the homogeneity of certain kind of slices of the complete complexification of a proper complex equifocal submanifold in a symmetric space of non-compact type.

Orbits of coadjoint representations of classical compact Lie groups have a lot of applications. They appear in representation theory, geometrical quantization, theory of magnetism, quantum optics etc. As geometric objects the orbits were…

The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between suborbifolds and orbifold embeddings. In particular, we give natural definitions of the notion of suborbifold and orbifold embedding and provide many examples.…

The aim of this note is to prove the algebraic geometry analogue of the Invariant tubular neighborhood theorem which concerns the actions of compact Lie groups on smooth manifolds.

This note revisits the ideas in an earlier (2007) paper on orbifolds and branched manifolds, showing how the constructions can be simplified by using a version of the Kuranishi atlases recently developed by McDuff--Wehrheim. We first show…

In this paper we study three-dimensional orbifolds by 2-groups with a trivially-acting one-form symmetry group BK. These orbifolds have a global two-form symmetry, and so one expects that they decompose into (are equivalent to) a disjoint…

It was shown by Ostrik (2003) and Natale (2017) that a collection of twisted group algebras in a pointed fusion category serve as explicit Morita equivalence class representatives of indecomposable, separable algebras in such categories. We…

In [3] Borzellino and Brunsden started to develop an elementary differential topology theory for orbifolds. In this paper we carry on their project by defining a mapping degree for proper maps between orbifolds, which counts preimages of…

For an orbifold X which is the quotient of a manifold Y by a finite group G we construct a noncommutative ring with an action of G such that the orbifold cohomology of X as defined in math.AG/0004129 by Chen and Ruan is the G invariant…

In this paper we characterize the compact orbifolds, quotients $ X = \mathcal{D} /\Gamma$ of a bounded symmetric domain $ \mathcal{D}$ of tube type by the action of a discontinuous group $\Gamma$, as those projective orbifolds with ample…

We compute the semiflat positive cone $K_0^{+SF}(A_\theta^\sigma)$ of the $K_0$-group of the irrational rotation orbifold $A_\theta^\sigma$ under the noncommutative Fourier transform $\sigma$ and show that it is determined by classes of…

We show that proper Lie groupoids are locally linearizable. As a consequence, the orbit space of a proper Lie groupoid is a smooth orbispace (a Hausdorff space which locally looks like the quotient of a vector space by a linear compact Lie…

We discuss two sorts of generalization of Lie groupoids. One is Lie $n$-groupoids defined as simplicial manifolds with trivial $\pi_{k\geq n+1}$. The other is the stacky Lie groupoid $\cG\rra M$ with $\cG$ a differentiable stack. We build…

In this paper, the authors apply a stratification of moduli spaces of complex Lie algebras to analyzing the moduli spaces of nxn matrices under scalar similarity and bilinear forms under the cogredient action. For similar matrices, we give…

This study introduces a new unified structural framework for orbifold sigma models that incorporates twisted sectors, singularities, and smooth regions into a single algebraic object. Traditional approaches to orbifold theories often treat…

It is well-known that any covering space of a Riemannian manifold has the natural structure of a Riemannian manifold. This article contains a noncommutative generalization of this fact. Since any Riemannian manifold with a Spin-structure…

There exists two types of nonassociative algebras whose associator satisfies a symmetric relation associated with a 1-dimensional invariant vector space with respect to the natural action of the symmetric group on three elements. The first…
