We consider periods of automorphic representations of adele groups defined by integrals along Gelfand subgroups. We define natural maps between local components of such periods and construct corresponding global maps using automorphic…

We recall Schur's work on universal central extensions and develop the analogous theory for categorical extensions of groups. We prove that the String 2-groups are universal in this sense and study in detail their restrictions to the finite…

We prove the existence of $\mathrm{GSpin}_{2n}$-valued Galois representations corresponding to cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations of certain quasi-split forms of $\mathrm{GSO}_{2n}$ under the local hypotheses that there is a…

We construct generalized symmetries for linearized Einstein gravity in arbitrary dimensions. First-principle considerations in QFT force generalized symmetries to appear in dual pairs. Verifying this prediction helps us find the full set of…

We show that General Relativity (GR) with cosmological constant may be formulated as a rather simple constrained SO(D-1,2) (or SO(D,1))-Yang-Mills (YM) theory. Furthermore, the spin connections of the Cartan-Einstein formulation for GR…

In this paper, we form a conjecture about the multiplicities of all the strongly tempered spherical varieties without Type N root for tempered representations. This generalizes the epsilon dichotomy conjectures of Gan-Gross-Prasad and…

A general conjecture is stated on the cone of automorphic vector bundles admitting nonzero global sections on schemes endowed with a smooth, surjective morphism to a stack of $G$-zips of connected-Hodge-type; such schemes should include all…

The paper contains a proof of the conjecture of M. Klin and D. Maru$\breve{\rm s}$i$\breve{\rm c}$ that an automorphism group of a transitive graph contains a permutation, decomposed in cycles of the same length. The proof is based on the…

A systematic way to organise the interesting periods of automorphic forms on a reductive group $G$ is via the theory of nilpotent orbits of $G$. On the other hand, it is known that the theta correspondence can be used effectively to relate…

Mitchell and Littlejohn showed that isotropy groups and orbits for $N$-body problems attain a sense of genericity for $N = 5$. The author recently showed that the arbitrary-$d$ generalization of this 3-$d$ result is that genericity in this…

In this paper, we use the theta correspondence between $\mathrm{GSp_4}$ and $\mathrm{GO(V)}$ to discuss the $\mathrm{GSp_4}$-distinction problems over a quadratic field extension $E/F.$ With a similar strategy, we study the period for the…

The gauge theoretical formulation of general relativity is presented. We are only concerned with local intrinsic geometry, i.e. our space-time is an open subset of a four-dimensional real vector space. Then the gauge group is the set of…

Interacting AdS_4 higher spin gauge theories with N \geq 1 supersymmetry so far have been formulated as constrained systems of differential forms living in a twistor extension of 4D spacetime. Here we formulate the minimal N=1 theory in…

The Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg-conjecture for a group G states that a closed spin manifold M^n (n>4) with fundamental group G admits a metric with positive scalar curvature if and only if its C^*-index A(M) in KO_n(C^*_r(G)) vanishes. We prove…

We derive the topological obstruction to spin-Klein cobordism. This result has implications for signature change in general relativity, and for the $N=2$ superstring.

The Sine-Gordon theory at $\frac{\beta^{2}}{8\pi} = \frac{2}{(2n+3)},\; n= 1,2,3 \cdots $ has a higher spin generalization of the $N=2$ supersymmetry with the central terms which arises from the affine quantum group $U_{q}( \hat{s \ell}…

The classical Grunwald--Wang theorem asserts that, unless we are in the so-called special case, local cyclic Galois extensions at finitely many completions of a number field can be approximated by a global cyclic extension. In the special…

In this paper we pursue the refined global Gross-Prasad conjecture for Bessel periods formulated by Yifeng Liu in the case of special Bessel periods for $\mathrm{SO}\left(2n+1\right)\times\mathrm{SO}\left(2\right)$. Recall that a Bessel…

We propose methods towards a systematic determination of d dimensional curved spaces where Euclidean field theories with rigid supersymmetry can be defined. The analysis is carried out from a group theory as well as from a supergravity…

In a recent manuscript, D.Vogan conjectures that four canonical globalizations of Harish-Chandra modules commute with certain n-cohomology groups. In this article we focus on the case of a complex reductive group and prove that Vogan's…
