We study the minimal unitary representations of non-compact groups and supergroups obtained by quantization of their geometric realizations as quasi-conformal groups and supergroups. The quasi-conformal groups G leave generalized…

Starting with the canonical coherent states, we demonstrate that all the so-called nonlinear coherent states, used in the physical literature, as well as large classes of other generalized coherent states, can be obtained by changes of…

The program of classifying symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases in 1D has been recently completed and has opened the doors to study closely the properties of systems belonging to these phases. It was recently found that being able to…

Let $G$ be a discrete group and let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be two subgroups of $G$-valued continuous functions defined on two $0$-dimensional compact spaces $X$ and $Y$. A group isomorphism $H$ defined between $\mathcal A$ and…

Coherent state theory is shown to reproduce three categories of representations of the spectrum generating algebra for an algebraic model: (i) classical realizations which are the starting point for geometric quantization; (ii) induced…

We construct an explicit realization of a minimal representation of G, where G is the conformal group of a real Jordan algebra N. We characterize spherical vectors for these representation and prove that they are closely related to the…

We present a version of higher Hochschild homology for spaces equipped with principal bundles for a structure group $G$. As coefficients, we allow $E_\infty$-algebras with $G$-action. For this homology theory, we establish an equivariant…

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over a perfect field. We study the representability of the equivariant automorphism group of G-varieties. For a broad class of complexity-one G-varieties, we show that this group is…

For any countable group, and also for any locally compact second countable, compactly generated topological group, G, we show the existence of a "universal" hypercyclic (i.e. topologically transitive) representation on a Hilbert space, in…

Using the $L^2$ norm of the Higgs field as a Morse function, we study the moduli spaces of $U(p,q)$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface. We require that the genus of the surface be at least two, but place no constraints on $(p,q)$. A key…

In this paper we give an intimate connection between the characteristic zero representation theories of the Additive and Heisenberg groups, and their characteristic p >0 theories when p is much larger than the dimension a representation. In…

Let $U$ be a finite dimentional vector space over $\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$, and let $\rho:G\to GL(U)$ be a representation of a connected Lie group $G$. A linear subspace $V\subset U$ is called universal if every orbit of $G$ meets $V$. We…

We develop a new mathematical approach to diffeomorphism invariant quantum states for the quantisation of general field theories such as general relativity and modified gravity. Treating quantum fields as fibre bundles, we discuss operators…

Let $A$ be a ring with $1\neq 0$, not necessarily finite, endowed with an involution~$*$, that is, an anti-automorphism of order $\leq 2$. Let $H_n(A)$ be the additive group of all $n\times n$ hermitian matrices over $A$ relative to $*$.…

In this paper we give a strict classification of $ \mathbb{G}_{a} $-representations. This is done through the notion of a $ c(t) $-pair. Namely if $ \operatorname{Spec}(A) $ is a $ \mathbb{G}_{a} $-variety with action $ \beta $, then a $…

The formulation of quantum mechanics with a complex Hilbert space is equivalent to a formulation with a real Hilbert space and particular density matrix and observables. We study the real representations of the Poincare group, motivated by…

We give new examples of topological groups that do not have non-trivial continuous unitary representations, the so-called exotic groups. We prove that all groups of the form $L^0(\phi, G)$, where $\phi$ is a pathological submeasure and $G$…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete countable group. Consider the crossed product C$^\ast$-algebra $\mathfrak{R}(\Gamma) = C^{\ast}(\Gamma \rtimes l^{\infty}(\Gamma))$. Let $G$ be a larger discrete group, containing $\Gamma$ as an almost normal…

We give a geometric construction of the Heisenberg-Weil representation of a finite unitary group by the middle \'{e}tale cohomology of an algebraic variety over a finite field, whose rational points give a unitary Heisenberg group. Using…

Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) states are short-range entangled states with a symmetry G. They belong to a new class of quantum states of matter which are classified by the group cohomology $H^{d+1}(G,\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})$ in…
