We found an explicit construction of a representation of the positive quantum group $GL_q^+(N,\R)$ and its modular double $GL_{q\til[q]}^+(N,\R)$ by positive essentially self-adjoint operators. Generalizing Lusztig's parametrization, we…

Let C be a complex smooth projective algebraic curve endowed with an action of a finite group G such that the quotient curve has genus at least 3. We prove that if the G-curve C is very general for these properties, then the natural map…

Given a closed, oriented surface X of genus g>1, and a semisimple Lie group G, let R_G be the moduli space of reductive representations of the fundamental group of X in G. We determine the number of connected components of R_PGL(n,R), for…

A well-known result of Kostant gives a description of the G-module structure for the exterior algebra of Lie algebra $\frak g$. We give a generalization of this result for the isotropy representations of symmetric spaces. If $\frak g={\frak…

Let q>1 denote an integer relatively prime to 2,3,7 and for which G=PSL(2,q) is a Hurwitz group for a smooth projective curve X defined over C. We compute the G-module structure of the Riemann-Roch space L(D), where D is an invariant…

We construct some analog of cubical Bloch's higher Chow groups. Instead of considering cycles in $X\times\mathbb A^n$ we consider varieties $Y$ over $X$ together with a distinguished element in the $n$-th exterior power of the…

A finitely presented, torsion free, abelian-by-cyclic group can always be written as an ascending HNN extension Gamma_M of Z^n, determined by an n x n integer matrix M with det(M) \ne 0. The group Gamma_M is polycyclic if and only if…

An enlarged group G of nonlinear transformations, modeled on the general linear group GL(2,R), leads to a beautiful, apparently unremarked symmetry between the wave function's phase and the logarithm of its amplitude. Equations Doebner and…

Let G be a split semi-simple adjoint group, and S a colored decorated surface, given by an oriented surface with punctures, special boundary points, and a specified collection of boundary intervals. We introduce a moduli space P(G,S)…

The space of $n \times m$ complex matrices can be regarded as an algebraic variety on which the group ${\bf GL}_n \times {\bf GL}_m$ acts. There is a rich interaction between geometry and representation theory in this example. In an…

Let F be a local non-archimedean field and let G be the group of F-valued points of a reductive algebraic group over F. In this paper we compute the Ext-groups of generalized Steinberg representations in the category of smooth…

We prove that for q not a nontrivial root of unity any symmetric invariant 2-cocycle for a completion of Uq(g) is the coboundary of a central element. Equivalently, a Drinfeld twist relating the coproducts on completions of Uq(g) and U(g)…

We prove that if G is an abelian group of odd order then there is an isomorphism from the second quandle homology of the Takasaki quandle of G to the exterior square of G. In particular, for G=Z_k^n, k odd, we obtain Z_k^{n(n-1)/2}.…

Let $(\tilde Q,g) $ be a para-quaternionic Hermitian structure on the real vector space $V$. By referring to the tensorial presentation $(V, \tilde{Q},g) \simeq (H^2 \otimes E^{2n}, \mathfrak{sl}(H),\omega^H \otimes \omega^E)$, we give an…

We consider the relative group presentation $\mathcal{P} = \langle G, \mathbf{x} | \mathbf{r} \rangle$ where $\mathbf{x} = \{ x \}$ and $\mathbf{r} = \{ xg_1 xg_2 xg_3 x^{-1} g_4 \}$. We show modulo a small number of exceptional cases…

Assume $G$ is a connected reductive algebraic group defined over $\bar{\mathbb{F}_p}$ such that $p$ is good prime for $G$. Furthermore we assume that $Z(G)$ is connected and $G/Z(G)$ is simple of classical type. Let $F$ be a Frobenius…

We determine the structure of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra corresponding to the complex reflection group $G_{25}$ also when it is not semisimple, as long as the generators are diagonalizable. In particular, we classify all simple…
