Riemannian symmetric spaces are fundamental objects in finite dimensional differential geometry. An important problem is the construction of symmetric spaces for generalizations of simple Lie groups, especially their closest infinite…
We study families of submanifolds in symmetric spaces of compact type arising as exponential images of s-orbits of variable radii. Special attention is given to the cases where the s-orbits are symmetric.
We consider the subalgebras of split real, non-twisted affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras that are fixed by the Chevalley involution. These infinite-dimensional Lie algebras are not of Kac-Moody type and admit finite-dimensional unfaithful…
We compute the structure groups of almost even-Clifford Hermitian manifolds and determine when such groups lead to Spin structures.
We study spin structures on compact simply-connected homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M = G/H, g) of a compact semisimple Lie group G. We classify flag manifolds F = G/H of a compact simple Lie group which are spin. This yields also…
We consider the relation between higher spin gauge fields and real Kac-Moody Lie algebras. These algebras are obtained by double and triple extensions of real forms g_0 of the finite-dimensional simple algebras g arising in dimensional…
We define the spherical Hecke algebra for an (untwisted) affine Kac-Moody group over a local non-archimedian field. We prove a generalization of the Satake isomorphism for these algebras, relating it to integrable representations of the…
Kac-Moody symmetric spaces have been introduced by Freyn, Hartnick, Horn and the first-named author for centered Kac-Moody groups, that is, Kac-Moody groups that are generated by their root subgroups. In the case of non-invertible…
Based on a pair of cohomology operations on so called $\delta-2$-formal spaces, we construct the integral cohomology rings of the classifying spaces of the Lie groups $Spin(n)$ and $Spin^{c}(n)$. As applications, we introduce characteristic…
We survey results on compact Clifford-Klein forms of homogeneous spaces, with a focus on recent contributions and organized around approaches via topology, geometry and dynamics. In addition, we survey results on moduli spaces of compact…
We characterize certain CR structures of arbitrary codimension (different from 3, 4 and 5) on Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifolds by the existence of a Spin$^c$ structure carrying a strictly partially pure spinor field. Furthermore, we study the…
We use the Fock space representation of the quantum affine algebra of type $A^{(2)}_{2n}$ to obtain a description of the global crystal basis of its basic level 1 module. We formulate a conjecture relating this basis to decomposition…
We introduce the new class of submanifolds of co-Banach type in tame Fr\'echet manifolds and construct tame Fr\'echet submanifolds as inverse images of regular values of certain tame maps. Our method furnishes an easy way to construct tame…
Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a local field K or a global field F. It is well know that there exists a non-trivial and interesting representation theory of the group G(K) as well as the theory of automorphic forms on the…
A lot of developments made during the last years show that Kac-Moody algebras play an important role in the algebraic structure of some supergravity theories. These algebras would generate infinite-dimensional symmetry groups. The possible…
We develop a spinorial description of CR structures of arbitrary codimension. More precisely, we characterize almost CR structures of arbitrary codimension on (Riemannian) manifolds by the existence of a Spin$^{c, r}$ structure carrying a…
The integral representations of the $\hat {sl}(2,C)$ Spin 1/2 - Spin 1/2 Kac-Moody Blocks on the torus, arising from the free field representation of the $\hat {sl}(2,C)$ Kac-Moody algebra of Wakimoto and Bernard and Felder, are used to…
In this paper we construct and prove superintegrability of spin Calogero-Moser type systems on symplectic leaves of $K_1\backslash T^*G/K_2$ where $K_1,K_2\subset G$ are subgroups. We call them two sided spin Calogero-Moser systems. One…
We study the supersymmetric quantum dynamics of the cosmological models obtained by reducing $D=5$ supergravity to one timelike dimension. This consistent truncation has fourteen bosonic degrees of freedom, while the quantization of the…
