We show by example that the Chern numbers c_1^3 and c_1 c_2 of a complex 3-fold are not determined by the topology of the underlying smooth compact 6-manifold. In fact, we observe that infinitely many different values of a Chern number can…

A representation of the exceptional Lie algebras is presented. It reflects a simple unifying view and it is realized in terms of Zorn-type matrices. The role of the underlying Jordan pair and Jordan algebra content is crucial in the…

We show that the class of connected, simple Lie groups that have non-vanishing third-degree continuous cohomology with trivial $\mathbb{R}$-coefficients consists precisely of all simple complex Lie groups and of…

We give a reduction of the conjecture that for terminal projective threefolds whose anticanonical divisors are nef, the second Chern classes are pseudo-effective. On the other hand, some effective non-vanishing results are obtained as…

Let $q = p^e \geq 7$ be an odd prime power, and set $A := \mathbb{F}_q[T]$. In this article, we construct an infinite two-parameter family of Drinfeld $A$-modules of rank $3$ such that, for every non-zero prime ideal $\mathfrak{l}$ of $A$,…

We show that a proper algebraic n-dimensional scheme Y admits nontrivial vector bundles of rank n, even if Y is non-projective, provided that there is a modification containing a projective Cartier divisor that intersects the exceptional…

In this paper, we study the reducibility of degenerate principal series of the simple, simply-connected exceptional group of type $E_8$. Furthermore, we calculate the maximal semi-simple subrepresentation and quotient of these…

We derive a formula for the Chern classes of the bundles of conformal blocks on \bar{M}_{0,n} associated to simple finite dimensional Lie algebras and explore its consequences in more detail for sl_2 and in general for level 1. We also give…

We compute the group cohomology of $32\Gamma_3f$, a certain group of order 32. For this we construct explicit cocycle representatives of the cohomology generators. We thus lay to rest a discrepancy between several published computations of…

In this paper, we will give a series of non-congruent numbers with $\equiv3\pmod8$ prime factors.

We prove that if $X---> X^+$ is a threefold terminal flip, then $c_1(X).c_2(X)\leq c_1(X^+).c_2(X^+)$ where $c_1(X)$ and $c_2(X)$ denote the Chern classes. This gives the affirmative answer to a Question by Xie \cite{Xie2}. We obtain the…

We describe the invariants for the coadjoint representation of all real Lie algebras with nontrivial Levi decomposition up to dimension eight.

In this paper complexes of generalized Verma modules over the infinite-dimensional exceptional Lie superalgebras $E (3,8)$ and $E(5,10)$ are constructed and studied.

Let $G$ be a reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ such that the Dynkin diagram of $G$ is the disjoint union of diagrams of types $G_{2}, F_{4}, E_{6}, E_{7}, E_{8}$. We show that the degree $3$…

We present the derivation of the 6-dimensional Eulerian Lie group of the form SO(3,C). We describe our derivation process, which involves the creation of a finite group by using permutation matrices, and the exponentiation of the adjoint…

Using the construct of "Verdier specialization", we provide a purely mathematical derivation of Chern class identities which upon integration yield the D3-brane tadpole relations coming from the equivalence between F-theory and associated…
