We prove, under some mild conditions, that the equivariant twisted K-theory group of a crossed module admits a ring structure if the twisting 2-cocycle is 2-multiplicative. We also give an explicit construction of the transgression map…

The pair of real reductive groups $(G,H)=(\operatorname{GL}(n+1,\mathbb{R}),\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb{R}))$ is a strong Gelfand pair, i.e. the multiplicities $\dim\operatorname{Hom}_H(\pi|_H,\tau)$ are either $0$ or $1$ for all…

We describe the equivariant K-groups of a family of generalized Steinberg varieties that interpolates between the Steinberg variety of a reductive, complex algebraic group and its nilpotent cone in terms of the extended affine Hecke algebra…

We study the operational bivariant theory associated to the covariant theory of Grothendieck groups of coherent sheaves, and prove that it has many geometric properties analogous to those of operational Chow theory. This operational…

Since $(\mathbb{H}^n\rtimes U(n),U(n))$ is a Gelfand pair, an exact analogue of the Heisenberg group result due to Narayanan and Ratnakumar is not possible for the Heisenberg motion group. In this article, we prove that if the Weyl…

In recent work Bertram Kostant and Nolan Wallach ([KW1], [KW2]) have defined an interesting action of a simply connected Lie group $A$ isomorphic to \mathbb{C}^{{n\choose 2}} on gl(n) using a completely integrable system derived from…

A group $H \cong {\mathbb Z}_{k}^{2g}$, where $g,k \geq 2$ are integers, of conformal automorphisms of a closed Riemann surface $S$ is called a $(g,k)$-Fermat group if it acts freely with quotient $S/H$ of genus $g$. We study some…

In [5], the notion of polynomial cocycles is used to give an expression for the second cohomology of T-groups with coefficients in a torsion-free nilpotent module. We make this expression concrete in the case of a T-group G of nilpotency…

We study the heterotic G$_2$-system on 7-dimensional 2-step nilmanifolds $M=\Gamma\backslash N$ endowed with principal torus bundles. We first prove that every invariant G$_2$-structure solving the system must be coclosed (under an…

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 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…

The aim of this paper is to study some properties of left translates of a square integrable function on the Heisenberg group. First, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the canonical dual to a function $\varphi\in…

In this paper we study contact structure on 2-step nilpotent, Heisenberg type Lie groups. We decompose this Lie groups to center and orthogonal complement, then investigate properties of both orthogonal Lie subgroups. Finally, we provide a…

We identify the representations $\mathbb{K}[X^k, X^{k-1}Y, \dots, Y^k]$ among abstract $\mathbb{Z}[\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{K})]$-modules. One result is on $\mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})]$-modules of short nilpotence length and…

Let $N$ be a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group, $\Lambda$ a lattice in $N$, and $X=N/\Lambda$ the corresponding nilmanifold. Let $Aff(X)$ be the group of affine transformations of $X$. We characterize the countable…

Let $\text{GL}(n) = \text{GL}(n, {\mathbb C})$ denote the complex general linear group and let $G \subset \text{GL}(n)$ be one of the classical complex subgroups $\text{O}(n)$, $\text{SO}(n)$, and $\text{Sp}(2k)$ (in the case $n = 2k$). We…

Let F be a local field of characteristic zero. Let D be a quaternion algebra over F. Let E be a quadratic field extension of F. Let {\mu} be a character of GL(1,E). We study the distinction problem for the pair (GL(n,D), GL(n,E)) and we…
