The automorphism groups of the 27 lines on the smooth cubic surface or the 28 bitangents to the general quartic plane curve are well-known to be closely related to the Weyl groups of $E\_6$ and $E\_7$. We show how classical…
We consider the problem of bounding the number of exceptional projections (projections which are smaller than typical) of a subset of a vector space over a finite field onto subspaces. We establish bounds that depend on $L^p$ estimates for…
It is shown that the finite-dimensional simple representations of the super Jordan plane $B$ are one-dimensional. The indecomposable representations of dimension $2$ and $3$ of $B$ are classified. Two families of indecomposable…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite subgroup of $\SL_2(\C)$. We consider $\Gamma$-fixed point sets in Hilbert schemes of points on the affine plane $\C^2$. The direct sum of homology groups of components has a structure of a representation of the…
In the present paper we construct all typical finite-dimensional representations of the quantum Lie superalgebra $U_{q}[gl(2/2)]$ at generic deformation parameter $q$. As in the non-deformed case the finite-dimensional…
New upper bounds on the smallest size t_{2}(2,q) of a complete arc in the projective plane PG(2,q) are obtained for q <= 9109. From these new bounds it follows that for q <= 2621 and q = 2659,2663,2683,2693,2753,2801, the relation…
In this thesis quadratic and cubic algebras, which are extensions of SU(1,1) and SU(2) are studied in detail, with particular attention being given to their construction, their finite and infinite dimensional irreducible representations and…
In this paper, we connect two types of representations of a permutation $\sigma$ of the finite field $\F_q$. One type is algebraic, in which the permutation is represented as the composition of degree-one polynomials and $k$ copies of…
In this paper, we consider the construction of irreducible representations of finite pattern groups in terms of Panov's associative polarization, which is a finite-field analogue of Kirillov's orbital method. Using this construction, first,…
The goal of this paper is to give an explicit construction of the Fock spaces of the parafermion and the paraboson algebra, for an infinite set of generators. This is equivalent to constructing certain unitary irreducible lowest weight…
We construct projective (unitary) representations of Hecke groups from the vector spaces associated with the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev topological quantum field theory of higher genus surfaces. In particular, we generalize the modular data…
In this article, a combinatorial characterization of the family of planes of $\PG(3,q)$ which meet a hyperbolic quadric in an irreducible conic, using their intersection properties with the points and lines of $\PG(3,q)$, is given.
We provide a natural characterisation for the sets of elliptic and hyperbolic hyperplanes of the parabolic quadric Q(2n,q) when q is even. This characterisation is based on the number of elements of these sets through points and codimension…
Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g \geq 2$. We construct locally homogeneous geometric structures on closed 5-manifolds fibering over $S$, modeled on the two partial flag manifolds $\mathrm{Ein}^{2,3}$ and $\mathrm{Pho}^\times$ of the…
We give diagrammatic formulae for morphisms between indecomposable representations of $\bar{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}_{2})$ appearing in the decomposition of $\mathbb{C}^{\otimes 2n}$, including projections and second endomorphisms on projective…
We consider the problem of finding orthogonal projections $P$ of a rank $r$ that give rise to representations of the Hecke algebra $H_N(q)$ in which the generators of the algebra act locally on the $N$-th tensor power of the space ${\mathbb…
The main goal of this review is to compare different approaches to constructing geometry associated with a Hecke type braiding (in particular, with that related to the quantum group U_q(sl(n))). We make an emphasis on affine braided…
We study the Horn problem in the context of algebraic codes on a smooth projective curve defined over a finite field, reducing the problem to the representation theory of the special linear group $SL(2,F_q)$. We characterize the…
We construct an interesting topological cover of the multiplicative group of the real line, related to Tate's elliptic curve with $q = e^\pi$. We use the language of homological algebra, 2D Lorentz geometry and high-school trigonometry; the…
For infinite reductive groups with Frobenius maps, we show that certain subquotients of abstract representations of the groups induced from 1-dimensional representations of Borel subgroups are irreducible.
