We prove that $\textbf{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z}[t])$ has a finite index subgroup $\Gamma$ such that $H^2(\Gamma; \mathbb{Q})$ is infinite dimensional. The proof uses the geometry of the Euclidean building for $\textbf{SL}_3(\mathbb{Q}((t^{-1})))$.

For J an integral domain and F its field of fractions, we construct a map from the 3-skeleton of the classifying space for {\Gamma} = SL_2(J[t,1/t]) to a Euclidean building on which {\Gamma} acts. We then find an infinite family of…

Recently Brian Hartwig and the second author found a presentation for the three-point $sl_2$ loop algebra by generators and relations. To obtain this presentation they defined a Lie algebra $\boxtimes$ by generators and relations, and…

We consider the quantum algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ with $q$ not a root of unity. We describe the finite-dimensional irreducible $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-modules from the point of view of the equitable presentation.

We extend the concept of a finite dimensional {\it holomorphic homogeneous regular} (HHR) domain and some of its properties to the infinite dimensional setting. In particular, we show that infinite dimensional HHR domains are domains of…

We define for real $q$ a unital $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ quantizing the universal enveloping $*$-algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. The $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ is realized as a…

A result of Jost and Zuo is used to show that for a large class of finite-dimensional hyperk\"ahler quotients, the only L2 harmonic forms lie in the middle dimension, and are of type (k,k) with respect to all complex structures. The…

In the article The third homology of $SL_{2}(\mathbb{Q})$, Hutchinson determined the structure of $H_{3}\left(\mathrm{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Q}),\mathbb{Z}\left[\frac{1}{2}\right]\right)$ by expressing it in terms of…

It is shown that quantized dynamical system with second class constraints has infinite dimensional Hilbert space.

We show that the group $H_2(\slzti;\zz)$ is not finitely generated, answering a question mentioned by Bux and Wortman in \cite{bux}.

Starting from a Hecke $R-$matrix, Jing and Zhang constructed a new deformation $U_{q}(sl_{2})$ of $U(sl_{2})$, and studied its finite dimensional representations in \cite{JZ}. Especically, this algebra is proved to be just a bialgebra, and…

Let $X$ be a cubic fourfold in $P^5_{C}$. We prove that, assuming the Hodge conjecture for the product $S \times S$, where $S$ is a complex surface, and the finite dimensionality of the Chow motive $h(S)$, there are at most a countable…

Let W be a complex reflection group. We prove that there is the maximal finite dimensional quotient of the Hecke algebra H_q(W) of W and that the dimension of this quotient coincides with |W|. This is a weak version of a…

Let F be a finite field of characteristic 2 and h be the element x^3+y^3+xyz of F[[x,y,z]]. In an earlier paper we made a precise conjecture as to the values of the colengths of the ideals (x^q,y^q,z^q,h^j) for q a power of 2. We also…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ a finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. If $p$ is large enough with respect to $[K:\mathbb{Q}_p]$ and under mild genericity assumptions, we prove that the admissible smooth representations of…

We prove analogues of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for the second and third homology of SL_2 over an infinite field k. The statements involve Milnor-Witt K-theory and scissors congruence groups. We use these results to…

The rational invariants of the SL_2(q)-invariant quadratic forms on the real irreducible representations are determined. There is still one open question (see Remark 6.5) if q is an even square.

Assume that $\mathbb F$ is an algebraically closed field and let $q$ denote a nonzero scalar in $\mathbb F$ that is not a root of unity. The universal DAHA (double affine Hecke algebra) $\mathfrak H_q$ of type $(C_1^\vee,C_1)$ is a unital…

In this paper, we study finite dimensional quotients of the Hopf algebra U_{q}(sl_{2}) at fourth root of unity. We give explicitly all the corresponding automorphisms, real forms and idempotents.
