We classify the regular maps $\mathcal M$ which have automorphism groups $G$ acting faithfully and primitively on their vertices. As a permutation group $G$ must be of almost simple or affine type, with dihedral point stabilisers. We show…
We prove that the Weyl algebra over $\mathbb{C}$ cannot be a fixed ring of any domain under a nontrivial action of a finite group by algebra automorphisms, thus settling a 30-year old problem. In fact, we prove the following much more…
Distinguished involutions in the affine Weyl groups, defined by G. Lusztig, play an essential role in the Kazhdan-Lusztig combinatorics of these groups. A distinguished involution is called canonical if it is the shortest element in its…
Chebyshev interpolation polynomials exhibit the exponential approximation property to analytic functions on a cube. Based on the Chebyshev interpolation polynomial approximation, we propose iterative polynomial approximation algorithms to…
This is a sequel to arXiv:2506.13656, in which an approach to construct a class of generalized Frobenius manifold structures on the orbit spaces of affine Weyl groups is presented. In this paper we apply this construction to the affine Weyl…
We define for every affine Coxeter graph a certain factor group of the associated Artin group and prove that some of these groups appear as orbifold fundamental groups of moduli spaces. Examples are the moduli space of nonsingular cubic…
We find and study four kinds of five-parameter family of six-dimensional coupled Painlev\'e III systems with affine Weyl group symmetry of types $D_5^{(1)},B_5^{(1)}$ and $D_6^{(2)}$. We show that each system is equivalent by an explicit…
Let W be a Weyl group, presented as a crystallographic reflection group on a Euclidean vector space V, and C an open Weyl chamber. In a recent paper, Waldspurger proved that the images (id-w)(C), for Weyl group elements w, are all disjoint,…
We present a method of constructing discrete integrable systems with crystallographic reflection group (Weyl) symmetries, thus clarifying the relationship between different discrete integrable systems in terms of their symmetry groups.…
We find and study four kinds of a 4-parameter family of four-dimensional coupled Painlev\'e III systems with affine Weyl group symmetry of types $B_4^{(1)}$, $D_4^{(1)}$ and $D_5^{(2)}$. We also show that these systems are equivalent by an…
It is shown that every separable abelian topological group is isomorphic with a topological subgroup of a monothetic group (that is, a topological group with a single topological generator). In particular, every separable metrizable abelian…
We examine various consequences of the existence of exceptional representations of an irreducible Weyl group. (These are notes from a talk in the MIT Lie groups seminar.)
The structure of monoidal categories in which every arrow is invertible is analyzed in this paper, where we develop a 3-dimensional Schreier-Grothendieck theory of non-abelian factor sets for their classification. In particular, we state…
Monodromy in analytic families of smooth complex surfaces yields groups of isotopy classes of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms for each family member X. For all deformation classes of minimal elliptic surfaces with p_g>q=0, we…
A Fano problem is an enumerative problem of counting $r$-dimensional linear subspaces on a complete intersection in $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a field of arbitrary characteristic, whenever the corresponding Fano scheme is finite. A classical…
We examine Weyl groups of minimal connected simple groups of finite Morley rank of degenerate type. We show that they are cyclic, and lift isomorphically to subgroups of the ambient group.
This paper introduces and studies a class of Weyl-type algebras \(A_{p,t,\cA} = \Weyl{e^{\pm x^{p} e^{t x}},\; e^{\cA x},\; x^{\cA}}\) constructed over exponential-polynomial rings, where \(\FF\) is a field of characteristic zero, \(\cA\)…
For a generalized root system of affine ADE type, we introduce a twist automorphism. We prove that the Dubrovin-Zhang extended affine Weyl group is isomorphic to our (modified) extended affine Weyl group, which is an extension of the affine…
This is the second of two papers where we study polytopes arising from affine Coxeter arrangements. Our results include a formula for their volumes, and also compatible definitions of hypersimplices, descent numbers and major index for all…
The notion of families of quantum invertible maps ($C^*$-algebra homomorphisms satisfying Podle\'s condition) is employed to strengthen and reinterpret several results concerning universal quantum groups acting on finite quantum spaces. In…
