The scattering of charged solitons in the complex sine-Gordon field theory is investigated. An exact factorizable S-matrix for the theory is proposed when the renormalized coupling constant takes the values $\lambda^{2}_{R}=4\pi/k$ for any…
text of abstract (We present a utilitarian review of the family of matrix groups $Sp(2n,\Re)$, in a form suited to various applications both in optics and quantum mechanics. We contrast these groups and their geometry with the much more…
We classify the connected Lie subgroups of the symplectic group $Sp(2,\mathbb{R})$ whose elements are matrices in block lower triangular form. The classification is up to conjugation within $Sp(2,\mathbb{R})$. Their study is motivated by…
We establish that for the type I Lie superalgebras $sl(m/n)$ and $osp(2/2n)$, each Kac module admits a 1 parameter family of indecomposable double extensions. The result follows from the explicit evaluation of the $H^1$ Lie superalgebra…
We describe the structure of the Whittaker or Gelfand-Graev module on a $n$-fold metaplectic cover of a $p$-adic group $G$ at both the Iwahori and spherical level. We express our answer in terms of the representation theory of a quantum…
Let $G$ be a Lie group with real semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Further let $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{k} \oplus \mathfrak{p}$ be a Cartan decomposition. The maximal compact subgroup $K \subseteq G$ acts on $\mathfrak{p}$ via the…
In this paper, we obtain explicit branching laws for all irreducible unitary representations of $\Spin(N,1)$ restricted to a parabolic subgroup $P$. The restriction turns out to be a finite direct sum of irreducible unitary representations…
Based on the Dirac spinor representation of the SO(4) group, we discuss the relationship between three types of representation of spin in terms of Majorana fermions, namely the Kitaev representation, the SO(3) representation and the SO(4)…
We start with a small paradigm shift about group representations, namely the observation that restriction to a subgroup can be understood as an extension-of-scalars. We deduce that, given a group $G$, the derived and the stable categories…
If $\mathscr{G} = (G, +)$ is an abelian group, $S \subset G$ is said to scatter under addition if for all $a,b \in S$, $a+b \not \in S$. If $\mathscr{U}^{n}_{p}$ is the set of $n$th roots of unity in $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, where $n \geq…
We study the parabolically induced complex representations of the unitary group in 5 variables, $ U(5), $ defined over a p-adic field. Let $F$ be a p-adic field. Let $E : F$ be a field extension of degree two. Let $Gal(E : F ) = \{ 1,…
Attempts to extend our previous work using the octonions to describe fundamental particles lead naturally to the consideration of a particular real, noncompact form of the exceptional Lie group E6, and of its subgroups. We are therefore led…
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…
The purpose of this paper is to define a set of representations of Sp(p,q) and SO*(2n), the unipotent representations of the title, and establish their unitarity. The unipotent representations considered here properly contain the special…
Representations of $\text{SO}(4,2)$ are constructed using $4\times4$ and $2\times2$ matrices with elements in $\mathbb{H}'\otimes\mathbb{C}$, and the known isomorphism between the conformal group and $\text{SO}(4,2)$ is written explicitly…
Let $G$ be a Lie-group and $\Ga\subset G$ a cocompact lattice. For a finite-dimensional, not necessarily unitary representation $\om$ of $\Ga$ we show that the $G$-representation on $L^2(\Ga\bs G,\om)$ admits a complete filtration with…
Estimates for matrix coefficients of unitary representations of semisimple Lie groups have been studied for a long time, starting with the seminal work by Bargmann, by Ehrenpreis and Mautner, and by Kunze and Stein. Two types of estimates…
As is well-known, the compact groups Spin(7) and SO(7) both have a single conjugacy class of compact subgroups of exceptional type G_2. We first show that if H is a subgroup of Spin(7), and if each element of H is conjugate to some element…
The main result of this article is an application of the theory of invariant convex cones of Lie algebras to the study of unitary representations of Lie supergroups. It also includes an exposition of recent results of the second author on…
Let G be a compact connected semisimple Lie group and let H\subset G be a closed connected subgroup such that rank(G)=rank(H) and G/H is a symmetric space. Given an irreducible representation of H, we define a Dirac operator D and determine…
