We classify the pairs $(C,G)$ where $C$ is a seminormal curve over an arbitrary field $k$ and $G$ is a smooth connected algebraic group acting faithfully on $C$ with a dense orbit, and we determine the equivariant Picard group of $C$. We…

For a locally compact, totally disconnected group $G$, a subgroup $H$ and a character $\chi:H \to \mathbb{C}^{\times}$ we define a Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_\chi$ and explore the connection between commutativity of $\mathcal{H}_\chi$ and…

In this article, using the notion of group contraction, we obtain the spherical functions of the strong Gelfand pair $(\mathrm{M}(n),\mathrm{SO}(n))$ as an appropriate limit of spherical functions of the strong Gelfand pair…

This paper is motivated by several combinatorial actions of the affine Weyl group of type $C_n$. Addressing a question of David Vogan, it was shown in an earlier paper that these permutation representations are essentialy…

In the first part of the paper we generalize a descent technique due to Harish-Chandra to the case of a reductive group acting on a smooth affine variety both defined over an arbitrary local field F of characteristic zero. Our main tool is…

A pair $(G,T)$ is called a faithful odd transposition group if $T$ is a normal set of involutions generating the group $G$ and the product of any two distinct elements of $T$ has odd order. We introduce a special subclass of such groups, a…

Let $G$ be a connected simple Lie group of real rank one and finite center, and let $K$ be a maximal compact subgroup. We study the families of spherical, ball, and uniform averages $(\sigma_t)_{t>0}$, $(\beta_t)_{t>0}$, and $(\mu_t)_{t>0}$…

Let $G$ be a group hyperbolic relative to a finite collection of subgroups $\mathcal P$. Let $\mathcal F$ be the family of subgroups consisting of all the conjugates of subgroups in $\mathcal P$, all their subgroups, and all finite…

In this paper, we study the group Fourier transform and the Kohn-Nirenberg quantization for homogeneous Lie groups as mappings between certain Gelfand triples. For this, we restrict our considerations to the case, where the homogeneous Lie…

(1) Every infinite, Abelian compact (Hausdorff) group K admits 2^|K|-many dense, non-Haar-measurable subgroups of cardinality |K|. When K is nonmetrizable, these may be chosen to be pseudocompact. (2) Every infinite Abelian group G admits a…

The spectrum of a Gelfand pair $(K\ltimes N, K)$, where $N$ is a nilpotent group, can be embedded in a Euclidean space. We prove that in general, the Schwartz functions on the spectrum are the Gelfand transforms of Schwartz $K$-invariant…

Let $\mathrm{G}$ be a split reductive group, $K$ be a non-Archimedean local field, and $O$ be its ring of integers. Satake isomorphism identifies the algebra of compactly supported invariants…

Consider the Gelfand pairs $(G_p,K_p):=(M_{p,q} \rtimes U_p,U_p)$ associated with motion groups over the fields $\mathbb F=\mathbb R,\mathbb C,\mathbb H$ with $p\geq q$ and fixed $q$ as well as the inductive limit $p\to\infty$,the Olshanski…

Let G be a possibly disconnected reductive group over a finite field with Frobenius map F. The main result of this paper is that the characteristic functions af "admissible complexes" A on G such that F^*A is isomorphic to A form a basis of…

We introduce preordered semi-orthogonal decompositions (psod-s) of dg-categories. We show that homotopy limits of dg-categories equipped with compatible psod-s carry a natural psod. This gives a way to glue semi-orthogonal decompositions…

Let $P$ be the Gelfand--Tsetlin polytope defined by the skew shape $\lambda/\mu$ and weight $w$. In the case corresponding to a standard Young tableau, we completely characterize for which shapes $\lambda/\mu$ the polytope $P$ is integral.…

A Gelfand model for a finite group $G$ is a complex linear representation of $G$ that contains each of its irreducible representations with multiplicity one. For a finite group $G$ with a faithful representation $V$, one constructs a…

In [F. Caselli, Involutory reflection groups and their models, J. Algebra 24 (2010), 370--393] there is constructed a uniform Gelfand model for all non-exceptional irreducible complex reflection groups which are involutory. Such model can…

Let G denote a connected, quasi-split reductive group over a field F that is complete with respect to a discrete valuation and that has a perfect residue field. Under mild hypotheses, we produce a subset of the Lie algebra g(F) that picks…

Let $\mathbb{H}^{n}$ be the $(2n+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg group, and let $K$ be a compact subgroup of U(n), such that $(K,\mathbb{H}^{n})$ is a Gelfand pair. Also assume that the $K$-action on $\mathbb{C}^n$ is polar. We prove a…
