We show that the only sporadic simple group such that some of its faithful representations or some faithful representations of its stem extensions give rise to exceptional (weakly-exceptional but not exceptional, respectively) quotient…

We investigate combinatorial aspects of exceptional sequences in the derived category of coherent sheaves on certain smooth and complete algebraic surfaces. We show that to any such sequence there is canonically associated a complete toric…

Structure theorems for exceptional objects and exceptional collections of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on del Pezzo surfaces are established by Kuleshov and Orlov. In this paper we propose conjectures which generalize…

In this paper, we study the reducibility of degenerate principal series of the simple, simply-connected exceptional group of type $E_8$. Furthermore, we calculate the maximal semi-simple subrepresentation and quotient of these…

We adress the problem of the reasons for the existence of 12 symmetric spaces with the exceptional Lie groups. The 1+2 cases for $G_2$ and $F_4$ respectively are easily explained from the octonionic nature of these groups. The 4+3+2 cases…

As defined by Guralnick and Saxl, given a nonabelian simple group $S$ and its nonidentity automorphism $x$, a natural number $\alpha_S(x)$ is the minimum number of conjugates of $x$ in $\langle x,S\rangle$ that generate a subgroup…

The goal of this paper is to give a conjectural census of complex hyperbolic sporadic groups. We prove that only finitely many of these sporadic groups are lattices. We also give a conjectural list of all lattices among sporadic groups, and…

The five exceptional simple Lie algebras over the complex number are included one within the other as $G_2 \subset F_4 \subset E_6 \subset E_7 \subset E_8$. The biggest one, $E_8$, is in many ways the most mysterious. This article surveys…

In this paper, we study the degenerate principal series of a split, simply-connected, simple p-adic group of type $E_7$. We determine the points of reducibility and the maximal semi-simple subrepresentation at each point.

We classify twisted conjugacy classes of type D associated to the sporadic simple groups. This is an important step in the program of the classification of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with non-abelian coradical. As a by-product…

We construct the fuzzy spaces based on the three non-trivial co-adjoint orbits of the exceptional simple Lie group, $G_2$.

It is well known but rather mysterious that root spaces of the $E_k$ Lie groups appear in the second integral cohomology of regular, complex, compact, del Pezzo surfaces. The corresponding groups act on the scalar fields (0-forms) of…

In this paper, we study the reducibility of degenerate principal series of the simple, simply-connected exceptional group of type $E_6$. Furthermore, we calculate the maximal semi-simple subrepresentation and quotient of these…

This paper was motivated by a remarkable group, the maximal subgroup $M=S_3\ltimes 2^{2+1}_{-}\ltimes3^{2+1}\ltimes2^{6+1}_{-}$ of the sporadic simple group ${\rm Fi}_{23}$, where $S_3$ is the symmetric group of degree 3, and $2^{2+1}_{-}$,…

We classify $N{=}1$ SVOAs with no free fermions and with bosonic subalgebra a simply connected WZW algebra which is not of type $\mathrm{E}$. The latter restriction makes the classification tractable; the former restriction implies that the…

The famous strongly binary Goldbach's conjecture asserts that every even number $2n \geq 8$ can always be expressible as the sum of two distinct odd prime numbers. We use a new approach to dealing with this conjecture. Specifically, we…

For every odd natural number g=2d+1 we prove the existence of a countably infinite family of special Lagrangian cones in C^3 over a closed Riemann surface of genus g, using a geometric PDE gluing method.

This article produces a complete list of all maximal subgroups of the finite simple groups of type $F_4$, $E_6$, and twisted $E_6$ over all finite fields. Along the way, we determine the collection of Lie primitive almost simple subgroups…

For each element of the Fischer-Griess Monster sporadic simple group, we construct an infinite dimensional Lie algebra equipped with a projective action of the centralizer of that element. Our construction is given by a string-theoretic…

The monster sporadic group is the automorphism group of a central charge $c=24$ vertex operator algebra (VOA) or meromorphic conformal field theory (CFT). In addition to its $c=24$ stress tensor $T(z)$, this theory contains many other…
