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…
4x4 Dirac (gamma) matrices (irreducible matrix representations of the Clifford algebras C(3,1), C(1,3), C(4,0)) are an essential part of many calculations in quantum physics. Although the final physical results do not depend on the applied…
We compute the graded rank of the cohomology of the hyperplane complement associated with a quaternionic reflection group, and observe that it factors into irreducible factors with positive integer coefficients. For an irreducible group,…
The irreducible tensor bases of exceptional Lie algebras G2, F4 and E6 are built by grouping their Cartan-Weyl bases according to the respective chains G2> SO(3) * SO(3), F4 > SO(3)*SO(3)*SO(3)*SO(3) and E6> SO(3)*SO(3)*SO(3)*SO(3). The…
The uniformity, for the family of exceptional Lie algebras g, of the decompositions of the powers of their adjoint representations is well-known now for powers up to the fourth. The paper describes an extension of this uniformity for the…
Whatever it is that animates anima and breathes life into higher algebra, this something leaves its trace in the structure of a Dirac ring on the homotopy groups of a commutative algebra in spectra. In the prequel to this paper, we…
We examine unitary and nonunitary representations of the Heisenberg-Weyl Lie algebra $\mathfrak{hw}_n$, with particular emphasis on tensor products of unitary representations and on indecomposable nonunitary representations. In the unitary…
Normal affine algebraic varieties in characteristic 0 are uniquely determined (up to isomorphism) by the Lie algebra of derivations of their coordinate ring. This is not true without the hypothesis of normality. But, we show that (in…
We continue the study of irreducible representations of the exceptional Lie superalgebra E(3,6). This is one of the two simple infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras of vector fields which have a Lie algebra sl(3)\times sl(2)\times gl(1) as…
We use algebraic geometry to study the anomaly-free representations of an arbitrary gauge Lie algebra for 4-dimensional spacetime fermions. For irreducible representations, the problem reduces to studying the Lie algebras $\mathfrak{su}_n$…
In this work we state a result that relates the cohomology groups of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a current Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathcal{S}$, by means of a short exact sequence -- similar to the universal coefficients…
We modify the definition of Dirac cohomology in such a way that the standard properties of the usual Dirac cohomology, valid for modules with infinitesimal character, become valid also for modules with only generalized infinitesimal…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra, $G$ a simply connected and connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and $V$ a finite dimensional representation. We prove that the zero locus of quadrics containing $G.y$ is…
We construct a duality functor in the category of continuous representations of the Lie superalgebra E(4,4), the only exceptional simple linearly compact Lie superalgebra, for which it wasn't known. This is achieved by constructing a Lie…
Singular vectors of a representation of a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra are weight vectors in the underlying module that are nullified by positive root vectors. In this article, we use partial differential equations to find all the…
In this note we prove that the fouth bounded cohomology of non-abelian free groups with trivial real coefficients is non-zero. In order to prove this, we establish a splitting argument whose simplest form is as follows: Let $M$ denote an…
We classify the possible behaviour of Poincar\'e-Dulac normal forms for dynamical systems in $R^n$ with nonvanishing linear part and which are equivariant under (the fundamental representation of) all the simple compact Lie algebras and…
Let $H$ be a dense subgroup of a Lie group $G$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. We show that the (diffeological) de Rham cohomology of $G/H$ equals the Lie algebra cohomology of $\mathfrak g/\mathfrak h$, where $\mathfrak h$ is the ideal…
By definition, a quadratic Lie superalgebra is a Lie superalgebra endowed with a non-degenerate supersymmetric bilinear form which satisfies the even and invariant properties. In this paper we calculate all of the second cohomology group of…
A theorem of Delorme states that every unitary representation of a connected Lie group with nontrivial reduced first cohomology has a finite-dimensional subrepresentation. More recently Shalom showed that such a property is inherited by…
