J.~Sekiguchi determined the semisimple symmetric pairs (g,h), called nice symmetric pairs, on which there is no non-zero invariant eigendistribution with singular support. On such pairs, we study regularity of invariant distributions…

Let $B$ be an affine $k$-domain which admits a nontrivial fundamental pair $(D,U)$ of locally nilpotent derivations, i.e., if $E=[D,U]$ then $(D,U,E)$ is an $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple. We prove an algebraic criterion, characterizing under…

We are considering the commuting variety of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{pgl}_n$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p >0$, namely the set of pairs $ \{ (A,B) \in \mathfrak{pgl}_n \times \mathfrak{pgl}_n \mid [A,B]=0 \} $.…

In [AG2] we explored the question what symmetric pairs are Gelfand pairs. We introduced the notion of regular symmetric pair and conjectured that all symmetric pairs are regular. This conjecture would imply that many symmetric pairs are…

A strong Gelfand pair (G,H) is a group G together with a subgroup H such that every irreducible character of H induces a multiplicity-free character of G. We classify the strong Gelfand pairs of the special linear groups SL(2, p) where p is…

The variety of bicommutative algebras consists of all nonassociative algebras satisfying the polynomial identities of right- and left-commutativity $(x_1x_2)x_3=(x_1x_3)x_2$ and $x_1(x_2x_3)=x_2(x_1x_3)$. Let $F_d$ be the free $d$-generated…

Let F be a nonarchimedean local field and let G = GL(n) = GL(n,F). Let E/F be a finite Galois extension. We investigate base change E/F at two levels: at the level of algebraic varieties, and at the level of K-theory. We put special…

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…

Let $N$ be a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group, and let $K$ be a subgroup of the automorphism group of $N$. We say that the pair $(K,N)$ is a nilpotent Gelfand pair if $L^1_K(N)$ is an abelian algebra under convolution. In…
