We prove an upper bound for the evaluation of all classical SU(2) spin networks conjectured by Garoufalidis and van der Veen. This implies one half of the analogue of the volume conjecture which they proposed for classical spin networks. We…

We argue that the gauge $SL(2N,C)$ theories may point to a possible way where the known elementary forces, including gravity, could be consistently unified. Remarkably, while all related gauge fields are presented in the same adjoint…

The perspective that gravity may govern the unification of all elementary forces calls for extending the gauge-gravity symmetry $SL(2,C)$ to the broader local symmetry $SL(2N,C)$, where $N$ reflects the internal $SU(N)$ subgroup. This…

In a space of $d=15 $ Grassmann coordinates, two types of generators of the Lorentz transformations, one of spinorial and the other of vectorial character, both linear operators in Grassmann space, forming the group $ SO(1,14) $ which…

Strassen's asymptotic rank conjecture [Progr. Math. 120 (1994)] claims a strong submultiplicative upper bound on the rank of a three-tensor obtained as an iterated Kronecker product of a constant-size base tensor. The conjecture, if true,…

We study the semiclassical limit of a class of invariant tensors for infinite-dimensional unitary representations of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ of the principal series, corresponding to generalized Clebsch-Gordan coefficients with $n\geq3$…

It has been known for some time that topological geons in quantum gravity may lead to a complete violation of the canonical spin-statistics relation : there may exist no connection between spin and statistics for a pair of geons. We present…

We study orbits of semigroups of $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, and demonstrate reciprocity obstructions: we show that certain such orbits avoid squares, but not as a consequence of obstructions inherited from an algebraic set, and not as a…

Using a representation theoretic parameterization for the orbits in the enhanced cyclic nilpotent cone, derived by the authors in a previous article, we compute the fundamental group of these orbits. This computation has several…

We perform a systematic exact algebraic search for integrable spin-S chains which are isotropic in spin space, i.e. are su(2)-invariant. The families of spin chains found for S < 14 support recent arguments in favour of the complete…

We prove that the double covers of the alternating and symmetric groups are determined by their complex group algebras. To be more precise, let $n\geq 5$ be an integer, $G$ a finite group, and let $\AAA$ and $\SSS^\pm$ denote the double…

Superstring compactification on a manifold of Spin(7) holonomy gives rise to a 2d worldsheet conformal field theory with an extended supersymmetry algebra. The $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal algebra is extended by additional generators of…

The set of possible spectra (\lambda,\mu,\nu) of zero-sum triples of Hermitian matrices forms a polyhedral cone. We give a complete determination of its facets, finishing a long story with recent highlights by [Helmke-Rosenthal, Klyachko,…

We prove that the Parker--Semeraro systems satisfy six of the nine Kessar--Linckelmann--Lynd--Semeraro weight conjectures for saturated fusion systems. As a by-product we obtain that Robinson's ordinary weight conjecture holds for the…

We use the theory of theta-groups developed by Vinberg, along with computations in the computer algebra system GAP4, to classify the orbits of Spin(10,C)x SL(4,C) acting on the tensor product of the half spin module of Spin(10,C) and the…

We show that all spin groups of non-definite, quinary quadratic forms over a field with characteristic 0 can be represented as 2 by 2 matrices with entries in an associated quaternion algebra. Over local and global fields, we further study…

Properties of a given symmetry group G are very important in investigation of a physical system invariant under its action. In the case of finite spin systems (magnetic rings, some planar macromolecules) the symmetry group is isomorphic…

Let $S$ be a non-empty subset of a group $G$. We say $S$ is product-free if $S\cap SS=\varnothing$, and $S$ is locally maximal if whenever $T$ is product-free and $S\subseteq T$, then $S=T$. Finally $S$ fills $G$ if $G^*\subseteq S \sqcup…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group and $T$ its maximal torus. In this paper, we try to compute $gr_{\gamma}^*(G/T)$ the graded ring associated with the gamma filtration of the complex $K$-theory $K^0(G/T)$ for $G=Spin(n)$. In particular, we…

Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>0$. Recent work of Kildetoft and Nakano and of Sobaje has shown close connections between two long-standing conjectures of…
