We obtain an explicit formula for the bracket of the exceptional simple Lie algebra E8 based on triality and oct-octonions, following the Barton-Sudbery description of E8. Furthermore, we provide descriptions of the subalgebras E6 and E7…

In this paper, we examine the groups $G_2$ and $G_3$ associated to the $2 \times 2$ and $3 \times 3$ Rubik's cubes. We express $G_2$ and $G_3$ in terms of familiar groups and exhibit a split homomorphism $\psi: G_3 \longrightarrow G_2$ to…

We obtain complete characterizations of the Unique Bipartite Perfect Matching function, and of its Boolean dual, using multilinear polynomials over the reals. Building on previous results, we show that, surprisingly, the dual description is…

In this paper we show that if $n\geq 5$ and $G$ is any of the groups $SU_n(q)$ with $n\neq 6,$ $Sp_{2n}(q)$ with $q$ odd, $\Omega_{2n+1}(q),$ $\Omega_{2n}^{\pm}(q),$ then $G$ and the simple group $\barG=G/Z(G)$ are not 2-coverable. Moreover…

The representation dimension of a finite group $G$ is the minimal dimension of a faithful complex linear representation of $G$. We prove that the representation dimension of any finite group $G$ is at most $\sqrt{|G|}$ except if $G$ is a…

We study model transition for representations occurring in the local theta correspondence between split even special orthogonal groups and symplectic groups, over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero.

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. We prove that if $V$ and $W$ are orthogonal $G$-representations such that $V^G=W^G=\{0\}$, then a $G$-equivariant map $S(V) \to S(W)$ exists provided that $\dim V^H \leq \dim W^H$ for any closed subgroup…

Using exceptional theta correspondences we construct a family of Arthur packets for the exceptional group of type D4, and establish the global Arthur multiplicity formula.

We prove various results about the Local Converse Problem for split reductive groups $G$ over a non-archimedean local field~$F$ of characteristic $0$ and residual characteristic $p$. In particular, we prove that when $G$ is a symplectic or…

In this second paper of a series dedicated to type I Howe duality for finite fields, we explicitly describe the eta and zeta correspondences constructed in the first paper in terms of G. Lusztig's parametrization of the irreducible…

We prove that the pull back of the canonical theta divisor for E_8-bundles at level one induces a strange duality between Verlinde spaces for G_2 and F_4 at level one on smooth curves of genus g. We also prove a parabolic generalization in…

A sub-problem of the open problem of finding an explicit bijection between alternating sign matrices and totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions consists in finding an explicit bijection between so-called $(n,k)$ Gog…

Characters of $E_8\otimes E_8$ and SO(32) heterotic strings involving the full internal symmetry Cartan subalgebra generators are defined after circle compactification so that they are T dual. The novel point, as compared with an earlier…

Tevelev has given a remarkable explicit formula for the discriminant of a complex simple Lie algebra, which can be defined as the equation of the dual hypersurface of the minimal nilpotent orbit, or of the so-called adjoint variety. In this…

In this paper, we study the reducibility of degenerate principal series of the simple, simply-connected exceptional group of type $E_6$. Furthermore, we calculate the maximal semi-simple subrepresentation and quotient of these…

Arthur has conjectured that the unitarity of a number of representations can be shown by finding appropriate automorphic realizations. This has been verified for classical groups by Moeglin and for the exceptional Chevalley group G_2 by…

We construct two representations of the twin group $T_n, n\geq 2$, namely $\eta_1: T_n \rightarrow \text{Aut}(\mathbb{F}_n)$ and $\eta_2: T_n \rightarrow \text{GL}_n(\mathbb{Z}[t^{\pm 1}])$, where $\mathbb{F}_n$ is a free group with $n$…

We introduce spherical T-duality, which relates pairs of the form $(P,H)$ consisting of a principal $SU(2)$-bundle $P\rightarrow M$ and a 7-cocycle $H$ on $P$. Intuitively spherical T-duality exchanges $H$ with the second Chern class…

Let $E$ be a cubic \'etale extension of the rational numbers which is totally real, i.e., $E \otimes \mathbf{R} \simeq \mathbf{R} \times \mathbf{R} \times \mathbf{R}$. There is an algebraic $\mathbf{Q}$-group $S_E$ defined in terms of $E$,…

We study corners and fundamental corners of the irreducible representations of the groups G=Spin(n,1) that are not elementary, i.e. that are equivalent to subquotients of reducible nonunitary principal series representations. For even n we…
