A strict quantization of a compact symplectic manifold $S$ on a subset $I\subseteq\R$, containing 0 as an accumulation point, is defined as a continuous field of $C^*$-algebras $\{A_{\hbar}\}_{\hbar\in I}$, with $A_0=C_0(S)$, and a set of…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth $G$-variety with two orbits: an open orbit and a a closed orbit of codimension $1$. We give an algebraic description of the category of $G$-equivariant vector bundles on $X$ under a mild…

The problem of classifying Einstein solvmanifolds, or equivalently, Ricci soliton nilmanifolds, is known to be equivalent to a question on the variety of n-dimensional complex nilpotent Lie algebra laws. Namely, one has to determine which…

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…

This work provides five explicit constructions of the exceptional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_8$, based on its semisimple subalgebras of maximal rank. Each of these models is graded by an abelian group, namely, $\mathbb{Z}_4$, $\mathbb{Z}_5$,…

The variety $JorN_{5}$ of five-dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras structures over an algebraically closed field is investigated. We show that $JorN_{5}$ is the union of five irreducible components, four of them correspond to the Zariski…

We study extremal black hole solutions of the S3 model (obtained by setting S=T=U in the STU model) using group theoretical methods. Upon dimensional reduction over time, the S3 model exhibits the pseudo-Riemannian coset structure G/K with…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group with $\mathfrak g=\mathsf{Lie} G$ and $\mathcal O_{\sf min}\subset\mathfrak g$ the minimal nilpotent orbit. For a $\mathbb Z_2$-grading $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak g_0\oplus\mathfrak g_1$, let $G_0$ be a…

We look at the odd nilpotent orbits of osp(2n+1,2n), giving a combinatorial interpretation which enables us, via the square map, to explain the link with even nilpotent orbits. We then study the closure ordering of the odd nilpotent orbits.…

We introduce obstructions to the existence of a calibrated G_2-structure on a Lie algebra g of dimension seven, not necessarily nilpotent. In particular, we prove that if there is a Lie algebra epimorphism from g to a six-dimensional Lie…

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over the complex numbers and $K$ be a connected reductive group mapping to $G$ so that the Lie algebra of $K$ gets identified with a symmetric subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. So we can talk about…

We study the topology of compact manifolds with a Lie group action for which there are only finitely many non-principal orbits, and describe the possible orbit spaces which can occur. If some non-principal orbit is singular, we show that…

Given any representation V of a complex linear reductive Lie group G_0, we show that a larger semi-simple Lie group G with g=g_0 + V + V* + ..., exists precisely when V has a finite number of G_0-orbits. In particular, V admits an open…

Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of $\mbox{Aut}(G)$ on $G$ are called "automorphism orbits" of $G$, and the number of automorphism orbits of $G$ is denoted by $\omega(G)$. In this paper the finite nonsolvable groups $G$…

In this paper we construct a deformation quantization of the algebra of polynomials of an arbitrary (regular and non regular) coadjoint orbit of a compact semisimple Lie group. The deformed algebra is given as a quotient of the enveloping…
