Let R be a Lie nilpotent algebra of index k over a field K of characteristic zero. If G is an n-element subgroup of Aut(R) of the K-automorphisms, then we prove that R is right integral over Fix(G) of degree n^k. In the presence of a…

We consider the transformation $\ev$ which associates to any element in a K-algebra A a function on the the set of its K-points. This is the analogue of the fundamental Gelfand transform. Both $\ev$ and its dual $\ev^*$ are the maps from a…

This paper gives a representation-theoretic interpretation of the Lerch zeta function and related Lerch $L$-functions twisted by Dirichlet characters. These functions are associated to a four-dimensional solvable real Lie group $H^{J}$,…

Two 4-manifolds are stably diffeomorphic if they become diffeomorphic after connected sum with S^2 x S^2's. This paper shows that two closed, orientable, homotopy equivalent, smooth 4-manifolds are stably diffeomorphic, provided a certain…

We first describe, over a field K of characteristic different from 2, the orbits for the adjoint actions of the Lie groups PGL(2, K) and PSL(2, K) on their Lie algebra sl(2, K). While the former are well known, the latter lead to the…

In the focus of our paper is a system of axioms that serves as a basis for introducing structural data for $(2n,k)$-manifolds $M^{2n}$, where $M^{2n}$ is a smooth, compact $2n$-dimensional manifold with a smooth effective action of the…

In this paper we revisit nonnegative kernels in the first Heisenberg group $\He$, and in particular we further study the family $$K_\alpha(x,y,z)= \frac{|z|^{\alpha/2}}{\|(x,y,z)\|_{H}^{\alpha+1}}, \quad \alpha>0,$$ which was introduced in…

In this paper we study matrix valued orthogonal polynomials of one variable associated with a compact connected Gelfand pair (G,K) of rank one, as a generalization of earlier work by Koornwinder and subsequently by Koelink, van Pruijssen…

The general aim of this paper is to study which are the solvable Lie groups admitting an Einstein left invariant metric. The space N of all nilpotent Lie brackets on R^n parametrizes a set of (n+1)-dimensional rank-one solvmanifolds,…

We reconsider the quantization of symbols defined on the product between a nilpotent Lie algebra and its dual. To keep track of the non-commutative group background, the Lie algebra is endowed with the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff product,…

Let G be a complex reductive linear algebraic group and let K be a maximal compact subgroup of G. Given a nilpotent group \Gamma generated by r elements, we consider the representation spaces Hom(\Gamma,G) and Hom(\Gamma,K) with the natural…

In this paper, we describe the irreducible spherical functions of fundamental $K$-types associated with the pair $(G,K)=({\mathrm{SO}}(n+1),{\mathrm{SO}}(n))$ in terms of matrix hypergeometric functions. The output of this description is…

Let F be a p-adic field, W_F its absolute Weil group, and let k be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic l different from p. Attached to any l-adic representation of W_F are local epsilon- and L-factors. There are natural…

Consider a pair of symplectic varieties dual with respect to 3D-mirror symmetry. The K-theoretic limit of the elliptic duality interface is an equivariant K-theory class of the product. We show that this class provides correspondences in…

A classical result by K.B. Lee states that every group morphism between almost crystallographic groups is induced by an affine map on the nilpotent Lie group whereon these groups by definition act. It is the main technique for studying…

Let $S$ be a complex reductive group acting holomorphically on a complex Lie group $N$ via holomorphic automorphisms. Let $K(S)\subset S$ be a maximal compact subgroup. The semidirect product $G := N\rtimes K(S)$ acts on $N$ via…

We consider the irreducibility of the regular representation of a noncompact semisimpe Lie group $G$ on the Hilbert space of the image of the Joint-Eigenspace Fourier transform on its corresponding symmetric space $G/K.$ The…

I.M. Gelfand and V.A. Ponomarev (1969) proved that the problem of classifying pairs (A,B) of commuting nilpotent operators on a vector space contains the problem of classifying an arbitrary t-tuple of linear operators. Moreover, it contains…

In this paper we give a complete classification of two-step nilpotent Leibniz algebras in terms of Kronecker modules associated with pairs of bilinear forms. In particular, we describe the complex and the real case of the indecomposable…

We introduce a special class of nilpotent Lie groups of step 2, that generalizes the so called $H$(eisenberg)-type groups, defined by A. Kaplan in 1980. We change the presence of inner product to an arbitrary scalar product and relate the…
