In this paper we provide the conditions under which an automorphism or an antiautomorphism of a group $G$ induces an automorphism or an antiautomorphism of the $m$-conjugation quandle $\operatorname{Conj_{m}}(G),\,\, m\in \mathbb{Z} $, the…

We define several "standard" subgroups of the automorphism group Aut(G) of a partially commutative (right-angled Artin) group and use these standard subgroups to describe decompositions of Aut(G). If C is the commutation graph of G, we show…

Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field with residual characteristic p, let G be an inner form of GL(n,F) for a positive integer n and let R be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. When R has…

The so-called Tits class, associated to an adjoint absolutely almost simple algebraic group, provides a cohomological obstruction for this group to admit an outer automorphism. If the group has inner type, this obstruction is the only one.…

Let $K$ be a field and $G$ be a group of its automorphisms endowed with the compact-open topology. There are many situations, where it is natural to study the category $Sm_K(G)$ of smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) $K$-semilinear…

We consider the moduli space $\mathcal{M}(G)$ of $G$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $X$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group. This is a hyperk\"ahler manifold homeomorphic to the moduli space $\mathcal{R}(G)$ of…

Let $G$ be a simply connected semisimple group over $\mathbb{C}$. We show that a certain involution of an open subset of the affine Grassmannian of $G$, defined previously by Achar and the author, corresponds to the action of the nontrivial…

With the help of the tools of Quillen's homotopical algebra, we construct `the universal additive invariant', namely a functor from the category of small dg categories to an additive category, that inverts the Morita dg functors, transforms…

We study the problem of constructing a contragredient functor on the category of admissible locally analytic representations of a p-adic analytic group G. A naive contragredient does not exist. As a best approximation, we construct an…

Let G be a p-adic reductive group, and R an algebraically closed field. Let us consider a smooth representation of G on an R-vector space V. Fix an open compact subgroup K of G and a smooth irreducible representation of K on a…

A new approach to the quantization of constrained or otherwise reduced classical mechanical systems is proposed. On the classical side, the generalized symplectic reduction procedure of Mikami and Weinstein, as further extended by Xu in…

We study the involution of the real line induced by the outer automorphism of the extended modular group PGL(2,Z). This `modular' involution is discontinuous at rationals but satisfies a surprising collection of functional equations. It…

Let $A$ be the set of elements in an algebraic function field $K$ over ${\mathbb F}_q$ which are integral outside a fixed place $\infty$. Let $G=GL_2(A)$ be a {\it Drinfeld modular group}. The normalizer of $G$ in $GL_2(K)$, where $K$ is…

Let $G$ and $\tilde G$ be reductive groups over a local field $F$. Let $\eta : \tilde G \to G$ be a $F$-homomorphism with commutative kernel and commutative cokernel. We investigate the pullbacks of irreducible admissible…

We consider genus zero quasimap invariants of smooth projective targets of the form $V/\!/G$, where $V$ is a representation of a reductive group $G$. In particular we consider integrals of cohomology classes arising as characteristic…

We consider a general class of Fourier coefficients for an automorphic form on a finite cover of a reductive adelic group ${\bf G}(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{K}})$, associated to the data of a `Whittaker pair'. We describe a quasi-order on Fourier…

Let $U(G)$ be a maximal unipotent subgroup of one of classical groups $G=GL(V),O(V),Sp(V)$. Let $W$ be a direct sum of copies of $V$ and its dual $V*$. For the natural action $U(G):W$, we describe a minimal system of homogeneous generators…

For a group $A$ acting by automorphisms on a group $G$, let $I_G(A)$ denote the set of commutators $[g,a]=g^{-1}g^a$, where $g\in G$ and $a\in A$, so that $[G,A]$ is the subgroup generated by $I_G(A)$. We prove that if $A$ is a $\pi$-group…

For reductive groups $G$ over a number field we discuss automorphic liftings from cuspidal irreducible automorphic representations $\pi$ of $G(\mathbb{A})$ to cuspidal irreducible automorphic representations on $H(\mathbb{A})$ for the…

Recently, Willwacher showed that the Grothendieck-Teichmuller group GRT acts by L-infinity-automorphisms on the Schouten algebra of polyvector fields T_poly(R^d) on affine space R^d. In this article, we prove that a large class of…
