We study Lie algebras generated by extremal elements (i.e., elements spanning inner ideals of L) over a field of characteristic distinct from 2. We prove that any Lie algebra generated by a finite number of extremal elements is finite…

We discuss equivariance for linear liftings of measurable functions. Existence is established when a transformation group acts amenably, as e.g. the Moebius group of the projective line. Since the general proof is very simple but not…

Let $U$ be a quantized enveloping algebra. We consider the adjoint action of an $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-subalgebra of $U$ on a subalgebra of $U^+$ that is maximal integrable for this action. We categorify this representation in the context of…

Let G be a finite simple group of Lie type. In this paper we study characters of G that vanish at the non-semisimple elements and whose degree is equal to the order of a maximal unipotent subgroup of G. Such characters can be viewed as a…

In the building of a finite group of Lie type we consider the incidence relations defined by oppositeness of flags. Such a relation gives rise to a homomorphism of permutation modules (in the defining characteristic) whose image is a simple…

Let $W$ be a finite Coxeter group and $L$ be a weight function on $W$ in the sense of Lusztig. We have recently introduced a pre-order relation $\preceq_L$ on the set of irreducible characters of $W$ which extends Lusztig's definition of…

In this paper, we continue our study of abstract representations of elementary subgroups of Chevalley groups of rank $\geq 2.$ First, we extend our earlier methods to analyze representations of elementary groups over arbitrary associative…

We study a natural enlargement of the BGG Category O for a semisimple Lie algebra: the category of weight modules with trivial central character and finite-dimensional weight spaces supported on the root lattice. We give a geometric…

For any order of growth $f(n)=o(\log n)$ we construct a finitely-generated group $G$ and a set of generators $S$ such that the Cayley graph of $G$ with respect to $S$ supports a harmonic function with growth $f$ but does not support any…

In this paper we construct new Beauville surfaces with group either $\PSL(2,p^e)$, or belonging to some other families of finite simple groups of Lie type of low Lie rank, or an alternating group, or a symmetric group, proving a conjecture…

For any polynomial representation of the special linear group, the nodes of the corresponding crystal may be indexed by semi-standard Young tableaux. Under certain conditions, the standard Young tableaux occur, and do so with weight 0.…

A relationship between the asymptotic and lower-degree conservation laws in (non-)linear gauge theories is considered. We show that the true algebraic structure underlying asymptotic charges is that of Leibniz rather than Lie. The Leibniz…

In this work we describe and test the construction of least squares Whitney forms based on weights. If, on the one hand, the relevance of such a family of differential forms is nowadays clear in numerical analysis, on the other hand the…

A derived version of Maschke's theorem for finite groups is proved: the derived categories, bounded or unbounded, of all blocks of the group algebra of a finite group are simple, in the sense that they admit no nontrivial recollements. This…

We prove a higher-dimensional Chevalley restriction theorem for orthogonal groups, which was conjectured by Chen and Ng\^{o} for reductive groups. In characteristic $p>2$, we also prove a weaker statement. In characteristic $0$, the theorem…

Cyclic metric Lie groups are Lie groups equipped with a left-invariant metric which is in some way far from being biinvariant, in a sense made explicit in terms of Tricerri and Vanhecke's homogeneous structures. The semisimple and solvable…

We study the weight modules over affine Kac-Moody algebras from the view point of vertex algebras, and determine the abelian category of weight modules for the simple affine vertex algebra $L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ at any non-integral…

We use mass formulas to construct minimal parabolic Eisenstein congruences for algebraic modular forms on reductive groups compact at infinity, and study when these yield congruences between cusp forms and Eisenstein series on the…

We develop the theory of a category ${\mathscr C}_A$ which is a generalisation to non-restricted ${\mathfrak g}$-modules of a category famously studied by Andersen, Jantzen and Soergel for restricted ${\mathfrak g}$-modules, where…

This paper exhibits fundamental structure underlying Lie algebra homology with coefficients in tensor products of the adjoint representation, mostly focusing upon the case of free Lie algebras. The main result yields a DG category that is…
