If ${\mathfrak g}$ is a real reductive Lie algebra and ${\mathfrak h} < {\mathfrak g}$ is a subalgebra, then $({\mathfrak g}, {\mathfrak h})$ is called real spherical provided that ${\mathfrak g} = {\mathfrak h} + {\mathfrak p}$ for some…

Consider the smooth sections of the tangent bundle of a reductive homogeneous space. This is a vector space over the field of real numbers. The canonical connection acts as a linear binary operator on this vector space, making it an…

We juxtapose two approaches to the representations of the super-Heisenberg group. Physical one, sometimes called concrete approach, based on the super-wave functions depending on the anti-commuting variables, yielding the harmonic…

The notion of a \emph{$G$-completely reducible} subgroup is important in the study of algebraic groups and their subgroup structure. It generalizes the usual idea of complete reducibility from representation theory: a subgroup $H$ of a…

If $G$ is a Lie group, $H\subset G$ is a closed subgroup, and $\tau$ is a unitary representation of $H$, then the authors give a sufficient condition on $\xi\in i\mathfrak{g}^*$ to be in the wave front set of $\operatorname{Ind}_H^G\tau$.…

In the present paper we further the study of the compression cone of a real spherical homogeneous space $Z=G/H$. In particular we provide a geometric construction of the little Weyl group of $Z$ introduced recently by Knop and Kr\"otz. Our…

The third real de Rham cohomology of compact homogeneous spaces is studied. Given $M=G/K$ with $G$ compact semisimple, we first show that each bi-invariant symmetric bilinear form $Q$ on $\mathfrak{g}$ such that…

Let H be a spherical subgroup of minimal rank of the semisimple simply connected complex algebraic group G. We define some functions on the homogeneous space G/H that we call generalised spherical minors. When G = H x H, we recover…

The extended weight semigroup of a homogeneous space G/H of a connected semisimple algebraic group G characterizes the spectra of the representations of G on the spaces of regular sections of homogeneous linear bundles over G/H, including…

We present a classification, up to isomorphisms, of all the homogeneous spaces of the Lorentz group with dimension lower than six. At the same time, we classify, up to conjugation, all the non-discrete closed subgroup of the Lorentz group…

This is an expository article. We survey some fundamental trends in representation theory of symmetric groups and related objects which became apparent in the last fifteen years. The emphasis is on connections with Lie theory via…

We give an overview on the c-function of a non-compactly causal symmetric space G/H and explain its interplay with harmonic analysis and representation theory.

This paper treats the class of normalized logharmonic mappings f(z) = zh(z)bar{g(z)} in the unit disk satisfying {\phi}(z) = zh(z)g(z) is analytically typically real. Every such mapping f is shown to be a product of two particular…

General expository paper concerning topics in Hilbert spaces, spectral theory, and harmonic analysis. The preliminary section includes basic Banach algebra and Hilbert space theory with a digression on Riesz bases. The second and third…

The real singular cohomology ring of a homogeneous space $G/K$, interpreted as the real Borel equivariant cohomology $H^*_K(G)$, was historically the first computation of equivariant cohomology of any nontrivial connected group action.…

The aim of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive introduction to some algebraic and geometric aspects of real representations of compact Lie groups, as well as some results concerning isotropy strata and restriction of invariants.

Representations of four-dimensional superconformal groups on harmonic superfields are discussed. It is argued that any representation can be given as a superfield on many superflag manifolds. Representations on analytic superspaces do not…

A complete classification of locally spherically symmetric four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes is given in terms of their local conformal symmetries. The general solution is given in terms of canonical metric types and the associated…

We classify noncompact homogeneous spaces which are Einstein and asymptotically harmonic. This completes the classification of Riemannian harmonic spaces in the homogeneous case: Any simply connected homogeneous harmonic space is flat, or…

From the homotopy groups of two cubic spherical 3-manifolds we construct the isomorphic groups of deck transformations acting on the 3-sphere. These groups become the cyclic group of order eight and the quaternion group respectively. By…
