A new, so called odd Gel'fand-Zetlin basis is introduced for the irreducible covariant tensor representations of the Lie superalgebra gl(n|n). The related Gel'fand-Zetlin patterns are based upon the decomposition according to a particular…

Let $G$ be a Hermitian type Lie group with maximal compact subgroup $K$. Let $L(\lambda)$ be a highest weight Harish-Chandra module of $G$ with the infinitesimal character $\lambda$. By using some combinatorial algorithm, we obtain a…

Let g be a semisimple Lie algebra with h a Cartan subalgebra. The orbit method attempts to assign representations of g to orbits in g*. Orbital varieties are particular Lagrangian subvarieties of such orbits which should lead to highest…

The signatures of the inner product matrices on a Lie algebra's highest weight representation are encoded in the representation's signature character. We show that the signature characters of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra's highest…

Using consistency requirements relating chiral condensates imposed by the so called Generalized Konishi Anomaly, we show that dimensional transmutation via gaugino condensation {\emph{in the ultraviolet}} drives gauge symmetry breaking in a…

In this paper, we present a uniform formula of Lusztig's $ \mathbf{a}$-functions on classical Weyl groups. Then we obtain an efficient algorithm for the Gelfand-Kirillov dimensions of simple highest weight modules of classical Lie algebras,…

In a recent paper ([1],[2]) we have classified explicitely all the unitary highest weight representations of non compact real forms of semisimple Lie Algebras on Hermitian symmetric space. These results are necessary in order to construct…

We analyze in detail the equivariant supersymmetry of the $G/G$ model. In spite of the fact that this supersymmetry does not model the infinitesimal action of the group of gauge transformations, localization can be established by standard…

For a simple Lie algebra, Shapovalov elements give rise to highest weight vectors in Verma modules. The usual construction of these elements uses induction on the length of a certain Weyl group element. If $\mathfrak{g}= \mathfrak{sl}(N+1)$…

The present paper has been motivated by an aspiration for understanding the weight system corresponding to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_N$. The straightforward approach to computing the values of a Lie algebra weight system on a general…

Given a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, we define \begin{align*} \mathrm{conv}_k(A) := \left\{ \lambda_1 s_1 + \cdots + \lambda_k s_k : \lambda_i \in [0,1], \sum_{i=1}^k \lambda_i = 1 , s_i \in A \right\} \end{align*} to be the set of vectors…

We revisit the study of the multiplets of the conformal algebra in any dimension. The theory of highest weight representations is reviewed in the context of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand category of modules. The Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials…

It is known that summations over Weyl groups of Lie algebras is a problem which enters in many areas of physics as well as in mathematics. For this, a method which we would like to call {\bf permutation weights} has been previously proposed…

This work is motivated by the search for an "explicit" proof of the Bloch-Kato conjecture in Galois cohomology, proved by Voevodsky. Our concern here is to lay the foundation for a theory that, we believe, will lead to such a proof- and to…

For every involution $\mathbf{w}$ of the symmetric group $S_n$ we establish, in terms ofa special canonical quotient of the dominant Verma module associated with $\mathbf{w}$, an effective criterion, which allows us to verify whether the…

A consistent gauging of maximal supergravity requires that the T-tensor transforms according to a specific representation of the duality group. The analysis of viable gaugings is thus amenable to group-theoretical analysis, which we explain…

Let G be an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. In this paper we restate our conjecture from 1979 on the characters of irreducible modular representations of G so that it…

We establish a new Howe duality between a pair of two queer Lie superalgebras (q(m),q(n)). This gives a representation theoretic interpretation of a well-known combinatorial identity for Schur Q-functions. We further establish the…

Using the general framework of polynomial representations defined by Doty and generalizing the definition given by Doty, Nakano and Peters for $G = \mathrm{GL}_n$, we consider polynomial representations of $G_r T$ for an arbitrary closed…

This review paper contains a concise introduction to highest weight representations of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, vertex operator algebras and Hilbert schemes of points, together with their physical applications to elliptic genera…
