Let G be the group preserving a nondegenerate sesquilinear form on a vector space V, and H a symmetric subgroup of G of the type G1 x G2. We explicitly parameterize the H-orbits in the Grassmannian of r-dimensional isotropic subspaces of V…

We study the structure of the algebra of polynomial invariants for the usual conjugation action of the complex special, SO_n, and general, O_n, orthogonal group on the space of traceless n by n complex matrices. (Note that these two…

We examine noncommutative solutions of the nonabelian theory on the world-volume of N coincident D-strings. These solutions can be interpreted in terms of noncommutative geometry as funnels describing the nonabelian D-string expanding out…

Following the ideas of Bossinger and Fang, Fourier, and Littelman, we study iterated sequences for the Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr} (3, n)$ as a special class of birational sequences. For each iterated sequence $S$, there is a weighting…

We define linear degenerations of Schubert varieties via a special class of quiver Grassmannians. To do so, we restrict our study to an appropriate subvariety in the variety of representations of the considered quiver and describe a base…

We construct a 3-dimensional cell complex that is the 3-skeleton for an Eilenberg--MacLane classifying space for the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$. Our complex starts with the presentation for $\mathfrak{S}_n$ with $n-1$ adjacent…

The classical Ehresmann-Bruhat order describes the possible degenerations of a pair of flags in a finite-dimensional vector space V; or, equivalently, the closure of an orbit of the group GL(V) acting on the direct product of two full flag…

A real form $G_0$ of a complex semisimple Lie group $G$ has only finitely many orbits in any given compact $G$-homogeneous projective algebraic manifold $Z=G/Q$. A maximal compact subgroup $K_0$ of $G_0$ has special orbits $C$ which are…

Let $G$ be a reductive linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic $2$. Fix a parabolic subgroup $P$ such that the corresponding parabolic subgroup over $\mathbb{C}$ has abelian unipotent radical…

In this paper we study the derived categories of coherent sheaves on Grassmannians $\operatorname{Gr}(k,n),$ defined over the ring of integers. We prove that the category $D^b(\operatorname{Gr}(k,n))$ has a semi-orthogonal decomposition,…

The degenerate Lie group is a semidirect product of the Borel subgroup with the normal abelian unipotent subgroup. We introduce a class of the highest weight representations of the degenerate group of type A, generalizing the PBW-graded…

In the subdivision approach to robot path planning, we need to subdivide the configuration space of a robot into nice cells to perform various computations. For a rigid spatial robot, this configuration space is $SE(3)=\mathbb{R}^3\times…

Restriction varieties in the orthogonal Grassmannian are subvarieties of $OG(k, n)$ defined by rank conditions given by a flag that is not necessarily isotropic with respect to the relevant symmetric bilinear form. In particular, Schubert…

We show that each orbit of a Borel subgroup $B_{n-1}$ of GL(n-1) (respectively SO(n-1)) on the flag variety of GL(n) (respectively of SO(n)) is a bundle over a $B_{n-1}$-orbit on a generalized flag variety of GL(n-1) (respectively SO(n-1)),…

Let V be a vector bundle on a scheme X endowed with a nondegenerate symplectic or orthogonal form. Let G be a Grassmannian bundle parametrizing maximal isotropic subbundles of V. The main goal of the paper is to give formulas for the…

The decomposition of polynomial spaces on unions of Grassmannians $\mathcal G_{{k_1},d}\cup\ldots\cup \mathcal G_{{k_r},d}$ into irreducible orthogonally invariant subspaces and their reproducing kernels are investigated. We also generalize…

Discrete nonabelian gauge symmetries appear to be the most advantageous candidates for a family symmetry. We present a predictive SO(10) SUSY GUT model with $D_3 \times U(1)$ family symmetry (D_3 is the dihedral group of order 6). The…

The parentage between Weyl pairs, generalized Pauli group and unitary group is investigated in detail. We start from an abstract definition of the Heisenberg-Weyl group on the field R and then switch to the discrete Heisenberg-Weyl group or…

We study certain types of ideals in the standard Borel subalgebra of an untwisted affine Lie algebra. We classify these ideals in terms of the root combinatorics and give an explicit formula for the number of such ideals in type $A$. The…

We study a commutant-closed collection of von Neumann algebras acting on a common Hilbert space indexed by a poset with an order-reversing involution. We give simple geometric axioms for the poset which allow us to construct a braided…
