This is an expository book on unitary representations of topological groups, and of several dual spaces, which are spaces of such representations up to some equivalence. The most important notions are defined for topological groups, but a…

Assume that R is a semi-local regular ring containing an infinite perfect field, or that R is a semi-local ring of several points on a smooth scheme over an infinite field. Let K be the field of fractions of R. Let H be a strongly inner…

We prove a Bernstein-type theorem for two-valued minimal graphs in the four-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbf{R}^4$. This states that two-valued functions defined on the entire $\mathbf{R}^3$, and whose graph is a minimal surface, must…

In this article, we study the monoid of fractional ideals and the ideal class semigroup of an arbitrary given one dimensional normal domain O obtained by an infinite integral extension of a Dedekind domain. We introduce a notion of "upper…

Invariants allow to classify images up to the action of a group of transformations. In this paper we introduce notions of the algebras of simultaneous polynomial and rational 2D moment invariants and prove that they are isomorphic to the…

We show that the virtual Euler characteristics of the moduli spaces of $s$-pointed algebraic curves of genus $g$ can be determined from a polynomial in $1/\gamma$ where $\gamma$ permits specialization, through $\gamma=1,$ to the complex…

Let $D$ be an integrally closed domain with quotient field $K$ and $n$ a positive integer. We give a characterization of the polynomials in $K[X]$ which are integer-valued over the set of matrices $M_n(D)$ in terms of their divided…

Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…

We give a unitary irreducible representation of the proper Poincar\'e group that leads to an operational version of the classical relativistic dynamics of a massive spinless particle. Unlike quantum mechanics, in this operational theory…

We define an invariant of tangles and framed tangles given a finite crossed module and a pair of functions, called a Reidemeister pair, satisfying natural properties. We give several examples of Reidemeister pairs derived from racks,…

We define the equivariant Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a possibly singular algebraic variety with a group action over the complex number field (or a field of characteristic 0). In fact, we construct a natural transformation from the…

text of abstract (We present a utilitarian review of the family of matrix groups $Sp(2n,\Re)$, in a form suited to various applications both in optics and quantum mechanics. We contrast these groups and their geometry with the much more…

Riordan matrices are infinite lower triangular matrices that correspond to certain operators in the space of formal power series. In this paper, we introduce similar matrices for the space of formal Dirichlet series. We show that these…

We settle several questions about the theory of universal deformation quantization of Lie bialgebras by giving their complete classification up to homotopy equivalence. An important new technical ingredient introduced in this paper is an…

We develop a theory of modular forms on the groups $\mathrm{SO}(3,n+1)$, $n \geq 3$. This is very similar to, but simpler, than the notion of modular forms on quaternionic exceptional groups, which was initiated by Gross-Wallach and…

The Steinitz class of a number field extension K/k is an ideal class in the ring of integers O_k of k, which, together with the degree [K:k] of the extension determines the O_k-module structure of O_K. We call rt(k,G) the classes which are…

Regular algebraic $K$-theory for groups is a homology theory for discrete groups closely connected (but different from) group homology. It also gives a version of algebraic $K$-theory for rings by the simple functorial mapping assigning to…

Using general identities for difference operators, as well as a technique of symbolic computation and tools from probability theory, we derive very general kth order (k \ge 2) convolution identities for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. This…

We describe families of MLDEs whose solutions are modular forms of level one that converge, $2$-adically, to a Hauptmodul on $\Gamma_0(2)$ by using a theorem of Serre. Then, we apply this to show that the image of the character map on the…

In this paper we investigate the structure of groups elementarily equivalent to the group $T_n(R)$ of all invertible upper triangular $n\times n$ matrices, where $n\geq 3$ and $R$ is a characteristic zero integral domain. In particular we…
