We give various realizations of the adjoint orbits of a semi-simple Lie group and describe their symplectic geometry. We then use these realizations to identify a family of Lagrangean submanifolds of the orbits.
A version of quantum orbit method is presented for real forms of equal rank of quantum complex simple groups. A quantum moment map is constructed, based on the canonical isomorphism between a quantum Heisenberg algebra and an algebra of…
Quaternions are an important tool to describe the orientation of a molecule. This paper considers the use of quaternions in matching two conformations of a molecule, in interpolating rotations, in performing statistics on orientational…
The work of M. S. Liv\v{s}ic and his collaborators in operator theory associates to a system of commuting nonselfadjoint operators an algebraic curve. Guided by the notion of rational transformation of algebraic curves, we define the notion…
In this work we show that there is a Riemannian groupoid whose orbits are the closures of the leaves of a regular Riemannian foliation on a compact manifold. This groupoid is equivalent (in a generalized sense of Haefliger) with a…
We reformulate Special Relativity by a quaternionic algebra on reals. Using {\em real linear quaternions}, we show that previous difficulties, concerning the appropriate transformations on the $3+1$ space-time, may be overcome. This implies…
Let $\mathbb{M}(\mathbb{S}^{n+1})$ denote the M\"{o}bius transformation group of the $(n+1)$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$. A hypersurface $x:M^n\to \mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ is called a M\"{o}bius homogeneous hypersurface if there exists a…
Due to the non-commutative nature of quaternions we introduce the concept of left and right action for quaternionic numbers. This gives the opportunity to manipulate appropriately the $H$-field. The standard problems arising in the…
We extend the modular orbits method of constructing a two-dimensional orbifold conformal field theory to higher genus Riemann surfaces. We find that partition functions on surfaces of arbitrary genus can be constructed by a straightforward…
The use of complexified quaternions and $i$-complex geometry in formulating the Dirac equation allows us to give interesting geometric interpretations hidden in the conventional matrix-based approach.
The functions studied in the paper are quaternion-valued functions of a quaternionic variable. It is show that the left slice regular functions and right slice regular functions are related by a particular involution. The relation between…
The fundamental properties of biquaternions (complexified quaternions) are presented including several different representations, some of them new, and definitions of fundamental operations such as the scalar and vector parts, conjugates,…
The complex unit appearing in the equations of quantum mechanics is generalised to a quaternionic structure on spacetime, leading to the consideration of complex quantum mechanical particles whose dynamical behaviour is governed by…
We prove an analog of Cartan's theorem, saying that the chain-preserving transformations of the boundary of the quaternionic hyperbolic spaces are projective transformations. We give a counting and equidistribution result for the orbits of…
We describe a racetrack-shaped ring in which the cross-plane coupling can be continuously varied between an uncoupled configuration to a M\"obius configuration, where the transverse planes change role after one turn. Tunes, emittances, and…
Gaussian unitaries are specified by a second order polynomial in the bosonic operators, that is, by a quadratic polynomial and a linear term. From the Hamiltonian other equivalent representations of the Gaussian unitaries are obtained, such…
Most of theoretical physics is based on the mathematics of functions of a real or a complex variable; yet we frequently are drawn to try extending our reach to include quaternions. The non-commutativity of the quaternion algebra poses…
A polynomial transformation of the real plane $\Bbb R^2$ is a mapping $\Bbb R^2\to\Bbb R^2$ given by two polynomials of two variables. Such a transformation is called cubic if the degrees of its polynomials are not greater than three. It…
The decomposition of the polynomials on the quaternionic unit sphere in $\Hd$ into irreducible modules under the action of the quaternionic unitary (symplectic) group and quaternionic scalar multiplication has been studied by several…
This expository article is an introduction to the adjoint orbits of complex semisimple groups, primarily in the algebro-geometric and Lie-theoretic contexts, and with a pronounced emphasis on the properties of semisimple and nilpotent…
