The intersection cohomologies of closures of nilpotent orbits of linear (respectively, cyclic) quivers are known to be described by Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for the symmetric group (respectively, the affine symmetric group). We explain…

We discuss the action of a subgroup on small nilpotent orbits, and prove a bounded multiplicity property for the restriction of minimal representations of real reductive Lie groups with respect to arbitrary reductive symmetric pairs.

Let $G$ be a nilpotent, connected, simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, and $\pi$ a unitary representation of $G$. The goal is to prove that the wave front set of $\pi$ coincides with the asymptotic cone of the orbital…

Manifestly consistent Fock representations of non-central (but ``core-central'') extensions of the $Z^N$-graded algebras of functions and vector fields on the $N$-dimensional torus $T^N$ are constructed by a kind of renormalization…

Let K be a non-archimedean local field and let G be a connected reductive K-group which splits over an unramified extension of K. We investigate supercuspidal unipotent representations of the group G(K). We establish a bijection between the…

An irreducible representation of a reductive Lie algebra, when restricted to a Cartan subalgebra, decomposes into weights with multiplicity. The first part of this paper outlines a procedure to compute symmetric polynomials (e.g., power…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group with $\mathfrak g=Lie(G)$ and $\mathcal O\subset\mathfrak g$ a nilpotent orbit. If $H$ is a reductive subgroup of $G$ with $Lie(H)=\mathfrak h$, then $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak h\oplus\mathfrak m$, where…

Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Assume that p is good for G. In this note we classify all the spherical nilpotent G-orbits in the Lie algebra of G. The…

We show that generalised time-frequency shifts on the Heisenberg group $\mathbf{H}_n \cong \mathbb{R}^{2n+1}$, realised as a unitary irreducible representation of a nilpotent Lie group acting on $L^{2}(\mathbf{H}_n)$, give rise to a novel…

Let $k$ be a field with $\text{char}(k)\neq 2$. We prove that all maximal flags of composition algebras over $k$, appear as the $k$-rational $Sp_{6}$-orbits in a Zariski-dense $Sp_{6}$-invariant subset $V^{ss}\subset V=\wedge^{3}V_{6}$,…

We classify all nonnilpotent, solvable Leibniz algebras with the property that all proper subalgebras are nilpotent. This generalizes the work of Stitzinger and Towers in Lie algebras. We show several examples which illustrate the…

We determine the unipotent orbits attached to degenerate Eisenstein series on general linear groups. This confirms a conjecture of David Ginzburg. This also shows that any unipotent orbit of general linear groups does occur as the unipotent…

We adapt the conjectural local Langlands parameterization to split metaplectic groups over local fields. When $\tilde G$ is a central extension of a split connected reductive group over a local field (arising from the framework of Brylinski…

A minimal representation of a simple non-compact Lie group is obtained by ``quantizing'' the minimal nilpotent coadjoint orbit of its Lie algebra. It provides context for Roger Howe's notion of a reductive dual pair encountered recently in…

The nilpotent cone of a reductive Lie algebra has a desingularization given by thecotangent bundle of the flag variety. Analogously, the nullcone of a cartesianpower of the algebra has a desingularization given by a vector bundle over…

Let g be a semisimple Lie algebra with h a Cartan subalgebra. The orbit method attempts to assign representations of g to orbits in g*. Orbital varieties are particular Lagrangian subvarieties of such orbits which should lead to highest…

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, when p is a good prime, we give a new proof of the ``order formula'' of D. Testerman…

We study a family of complex representations of the group GL(n,O), where O is the ring of integers of a non-archimedean local field F. These representations occur in the restriction of the Grassmann representation of GL(n,F) to its maximal…

Consider a strictly positively graded finitely generated infinite-dimensional real Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. It has a well-defined Lie group $\overline{\mathbf{G}}$, which is an inverse limit of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups (a…

We study reductive subgroups $H$ of a reductive linear algebraic group $G$ -- possibly non-connected -- such that $H$ contains a regular unipotent element of $G$. We show that under suitable hypotheses, such subgroups are $G$-irreducible in…
