The set of weights of a finite-dimensional representation of a reductive Lie algebra has a natural poset structure ("weight poset"). Studying certain combinatorial problems related to antichains in weight posets, we realised that the best…

Recently some mixed alphabet rings are involved in constructing few-Lee weight additive codes with optimal or minimal Gray images using suitable defining sets or down-sets. Inspired by these works, we choose the mixed alphabet ring…

The long-root elements in Lie algebras of Chevalley type have been well studied and can be characterized as extremal elements, that is, elements $x$ such that the image of $(\ad x)^2$ lies in the subspace spanned by $x$. In this paper,…

Given a connected non-negative unit form we construct an extended affine Lie algebra by giving a Chevalley basis for it. We also obtain this algebra as a quotient of an algebra defined by means of generalized Serre relations by M. Barot, D.…

In [4], we use the root categories to realize Chevalley groups. Lusztig's theory of total positivity for reductive groups can be naturally applied to Chevalley groups. In this paper, we explicitly determine regions of $\mathbb{R}_{>0}^t$…

Exploiting particular features of classical groups, simple constructions are given for the irreducible constituents of the tensor square of the adjoint modules and the leading terms in higher tensor powers. This provides an independent…

Relying on the classification of simple Lie algebras over algebraically closed fields of characteristic $>3$, we show that any finite-dimensional central simple 5-graded Lie algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2,3$ is a simple…

We study lowest weight representations of the rational Cherednik algebra attached to a complex reflection group W. In particular, we generalize a number of previous results due to Berest, Etingof and Ginzburg.

We explain the construction of minimal tilting complexes for objects of highest weight categories and we study in detail the minimal tilting complexes for standard objects and simple objects. For certain categories of representations of…

This work is part of a project on weight bases for the irreducible representations of semisimple Lie algebras with respect to which the representation matrices of the Chevalley generators are given by explicit formulas. In the case of sl_n,…

We construct certain integral structures for the cores of reduced tame extended affine Lie algebras of rank at least 2. One of the main tools to achieve this is a generalization of Chevalley automorphisms in the context of extended affine…

Motivated by a recent conjecture by Hernandez and Leclerc [arXiv:0903.1452], we embed a Fomin-Zelevinsky cluster algebra [arXiv:math/0104151] into the Grothendieck ring R of the category of representations of quantum loop algebras U_q(Lg)…

The Chen groups of a finitely-presented group G are the lower central series quotients of its maximal metabelian quotient, G/G''. The direct sum of the Chen groups is a graded Lie algebra, with bracket induced by the group commutator. If G…

The computer algebra system CHEVIE is designed to facilitate computations with various combinatorial structures arising in Lie theory, like finite Coxeter groups and Hecke algebras. We discuss some recent examples where CHEVIE has been…

Let U be the quantum group associated to a Lie algebra g of rank n. The negative part U^- of U has a canonical basis B with favourable properties, introduced by Kashiwara and Lusztig. The approaches of Kashiwara and Lusztig lead to a set of…

The cluster algebra of any acyclic quiver can be realized as the coordinate ring of a subvariety of a Kac-Moody group -- the quiver is an orientation of its Dynkin diagram, defining a Coxeter element and thereby a double Bruhat cell. We use…

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean local field with the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$ and the prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ and let $G={\bf G}\left(\mathcal{O}/\mathfrak{p}^n\right)$ be the adjoint Chevalley group. Let $m_f(G)$ denote the smallest…

Let ${\mathbf U}_q^-$ be the negative half of a quantum group of finite type. We construct the canonical basis of ${\mathbf U}_q^-$ by applying the folding theory of quantum groups, and piecewise linear parametrization of canonical basis.…

We find an explicit presentation of relative odd unitary Steinberg groups constructed by odd form rings and of relative doubly laced Steinberg groups over commutative rings, i.e. the Steinberg groups associated with the Chevalley group…

We show that for each reduced expression for the longest word in the Weyl group of type A_n, the corresponding cone arising in Lusztig's description of the canonical basis in terms of tight monomials is simplicial, and construct explicit…
