We classify the irreducible projective representations of symmetric and alternating groups of minimal possible and second minimal possible dimensions, and get a lower bound for the third minimal dimension. On the way we obtain some new…
A simple visual representation of Minkowski spacetime appropriate for a student with a background in geometry and algebra is presented. Minkowski spacetime can be modeled with a Euclidean 4-space to yield accurate visualizations as…
Reductive (or semisimple) algebraic groups, Lie groups and Lie algebras have a rich geometry determined by their parabolic subgroups and subalgebras, which carry the structure of a building in the sense of J. Tits. We present herein an…
We establish a general theory for projective dimensions of the logarithmic derivation modules of hyperplane arrangements. That includes the addition-deletion and restriction theorem, Yoshinaga-type result, and the division theorem for…
We give sufficient conditions for the affinity of Etingof's sheaves of Cherednik algebras on projective space. To do this we introduce the notion of pull-back of modules under certain flat morphisms.
We discuss first order systems of rational difference equations which have the property that lines through the origin are mapped into lines through the origin. We call such systems projective systems of rational difference equations and we…
Multidimensional contractions of irreducible representations of Cayley--Klein orthogonal algebras in Gel'fand--Zetlin basis are considered. Contracted over different parameters, algebras can turn out to be isomorphic. In this case method of…
(This short article is a continuation of a longer, review work, in the same volume of Proceedings, by Ashtekar, Marolf and Mour\~ao [gr-qc/9403042]. All the details and other results are to be found in joint papers of the author with Abhay…
In an earlier paper we showed that we can improve results by Emmy Noether and Alexander Ostrowski concerning the reducibility modulo p of absolutely irreducible polynomials with integer coefficients by giving the problem a geometric turn…
Let $k$ be a field, let ${\sf C}$ be a $k$-linear abelian category, let $\underline{\mathcal{L}}:=\{\mathcal{L}_{i}\}_{i \in \mathbb{Z}}$ be a sequence of objects in ${\sf C}$, and let $B_{\underline{\mathcal{L}}}$ be the associated orbit…
The Lie algebra of planar vector fields with coefficients from the field of rational functions over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is considered. We find all finite-dimensional Lie algebras that can be realized as…
Slicing a module into semisimple ones is useful to study modules. Loewy structures provide a means of doing so. To establish the Loewy structures of projective modules over a finite dimensional symmetric algebra over a field $F$, the…
In general Banach spaces, the metric projection map lacks the powerful properties it enjoys in Hilbert spaces. There are a few generalized projections that have been proposed in order to resolve many of the deficiencies of the metric…
We discuss representations of the projective line over a ring $R$ with 1 in a projective space over some (not necessarily commutative) field $K$. Such a representation is based upon a $(K,R)$-bimodule $U$. The points of the projective line…
We study geometric structures arising from Hermitian forms on linear spaces over real algebras beyond the division ones. Our focus is on the dual numbers, the split-complex numbers, and the split-quaternions. The corresponding geometric…
In this paper we study a relationship between systems of $n$ subspaces and representations of $*$-algebras generated by projections. We prove that irreducible nonequivalent $*$-representations of $*$-algebras $\mathcal P_{4,com}$ generate…
We consider the problem of finding orthogonal projections $P$ of a rank $r$ that give rise to representations of the Hecke algebra $H_N(q)$ in which the generators of the algebra act locally on the $N$-th tensor power of the space ${\mathbb…
We focus on a branch of region-based spatial logics dealing with affine geometry. The research on this topic is scarce: only a handful of papers investigate such systems, mostly in the case of the real plane. Our long-term goal is to…
We show that a map between projection lattices of semi-finite von Neumann algebras can be extended to a Jordan $*$-homomorphism between the von Neumann algebras if this map is defined in terms of the support projections of images (under the…
In the paper "Is there a Jordan geometry underlying quantum physics?" (Int. J. Theor. Phys., to appear; arXiv:0801.3069 [math-ph]), generalized projective geometries have been proposed as a framework for a geometric formulation of Quantum…
