Let \theta be an involution of the semisimple Lie algebra g and g=k+p be the associated Cartan decomposition. The nilpotent commuting variety of (g,\theta) consists in pairs of nilpotent elements (x,y) of p such that [x,y]=0. It is…

Let $V$ be a simple vertex operator algebra which admits the continuous, faithful action of a compact Lie group $G$ of automorphisms. We establish a Schur-Weyl type duality between the unitary, irreducible modules for $G$ and the…

Let M be a foliated manifold and G a discrete group acting on M by diffeomorphisms mapping leaves to leaves. Then G naturally acts by automorphisms on the algebra of Heisenberg pseudodifferential operators on the foliation. Our main result…

We consider a connected compact Lie group K acting on a symplectic manifold M such that a moment map m exists. A pull-back function via m Poisson commutes with all K-invariants. Guillemin-Sternberg raised the problem to find a converse. In…

The symplectic derivation Lie algebras defined by Kontsevich are related to various geometric objects including moduli spaces of graphs and of Riemann surfaces, graph homologies, Hamiltonian vector fields, etc. Each of them and its…

Two actions of the Hecke algebra of type A on the corresponding polynomial ring are studied. Both are deformations of the natural action of the symmetric group on polynomials, and keep symmetric functions invariant. We give an explicit…

We prove a formula conjectured by the third author expressing certain Hodge integrals in terms of certain Chern-Simons link invariants. Such invariants also arise in the representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras.
