We introduce the symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}_2(G, \sigma)$ associated to a Lie subgroup $G$ of a (possibly noncommutative) associative algebra $A$ equipped with an anti-involution $\sigma$. Our construction recovers several classical Lie…

In this survey-research paper, we first introduce the theory of Smith classes of complexes with fixed-point free, periodic maps on them. These classes, when defined for the deleted product of a simplicial complex $K$, are the same as the…

We investigate the reduction process of a k-symplectic field theory whose Lagrangian is invariant under a symmetry group. We give explicit coordinate expressions of the resulting reduced partial differential equations, the so-called…

First and second fundamental theorems are given for polynomial invariants of a class of pseudo-reflection groups (including the Weyl groups of type $B_n$), under the assumption that the order of the group is invertible in the base field.…

Symplectic resolutions are an exciting new frontier of research in representation theory. One of the most fascinating aspects of this study is symplectic duality: the observation that these resolutions come in pairs with matching…

We classify bireflectional elements (products of 2 involutions) in symplectic groups Sp$(2n, K)$ over a field $K$. We also classify rev ersible elements (elements conjugate to their inverses) and bireflectional elements in finite projective…

We show that a collection of generalized Bowen-Franks group, what we call the principal Bowen-Franks $R$-modules, form a complete set of $R$-module invariants for the equivalence relation of profinite conjugacy for similar hyperbolic toral…

In this article we consider the connected component of the identity of $G$-character varieties of compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g > 0$, for connected complex reductive groups $G$ of type $A$ (e.g., $SL_n$ and $GL_n$). We show that…

We study a stabilization of the symplectic category introduced by A. Weinstein as a domain for the geometric quantization functor. The symplectic category is a topological category with objects given by symplectic manifolds, and morphisms…

The notion of a holomorphically symplectic manifold can be generalized to the singular one. This paper studies the birational contraction maps between symplectic varieties, and then describes the deformation of a symplectic variety which…

Class groups of real quadratic fields represent fundamental structures in algebraic number theory with significant computational implications. While Stark's conjecture establishes theoretical connections between special units and class…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not 2 or 3. Let $V$ be the $k$-space of binary cubic polynomials. The natural symplectic structure on $k^2$ promotes to a symplectic structure $\omega$ on $V$ and from the natural symplectic action of…

We study the indecomposable summands of the permutation module obtained by inducing the trivial $\mathbb{F}(S_a\wr S_n)$-module to the full symmetric group $S_{an}$ for any field $\mathbb{F}$ of odd prime characteristic $p$ such that…

Consider a compact prequantizable symplectic manifold M on which a compact Lie group G acts in a Hamiltonian fashion. The ``quantization commutes with reduction'' theorem asserts that the G-invariant part of the equivariant index of M is…

The general linear group acts on the space of several linear maps on the vector space as the basis change. Similarly, we have the actions of the orthogonal and symplectic groups. Generators and identities for the corresponding polynomial…

Let $k$ be a field with $u$-invariant $\leq2$. Assume further that $k$ is not quadratically closed, $\mathsf{char}(k)\neq 2$ and $|k|\geq 5$. It is known that the covering number of both $\text{SL}_2(k)$ and $\text{PSL}_2(k)$ is three,…

We settle a long standing issue concerning the traditional derivation of non-compact non-linear sigma models in the theory of disordered electron systems: the hyperbolic Hubbard-Stratonovich (HS) transformation of Pruisken-Schaefer type.…

We are interested in comparing properties of symplectic mapping class groups of symplectic manifolds of dimension four or higher with properties of classical mapping class groups of surfaces. For $n \geq 2$, consider a configuration of…

For any Lie group $G$, we construct a $G$-equivariant analogue of symplectic capacities and give examples when $G = \mathbb{T}^k\times\mathbb{R}^{d-k}$, in which case the capacity is an invariant of integrable systems. Then we study the…

This is the pdf -version of the author's Ph.D. thesis (1995, ULB, Belgium). The notion of symeplectic symmertic space is introduced and studied via Lie theoretical and symplectic geoemetrical methods. The first chapter concerns basic…
