Let $G$ be a reductive complex Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and suppose that $V$ is a polar $G$-representation. We prove the existence of a radial parts map $\mathrm{rad}: \mathcal{D}(V)^G\to A_{\kappa}$ from the $G$-invariant…

We characterize those regular, holomorphic or formal maps into the orbit space $V/G$ of a complex representation of a finite group $G$ which admit a regular, holomorphic or formal lift to the representation space $V$. In particular, the…

We show that proper Lie groupoids are locally linearizable. As a consequence, the orbit space of a proper Lie groupoid is a smooth orbispace (a Hausdorff space which locally looks like the quotient of a vector space by a linear compact Lie…

A new notion of face relative interior for convex sets in topological real vector spaces is introduced in this work. Face relative interior is grounded in the facial structure, and may capture the geometry of convex sets in topological…

We prove two results on convex subsets of Euclidean spaces invariant under an orthogonal group action. First, we show that invariant spectrahedra admit an equivariant spectrahedral description, i.e., can be described by an equivariant…

We obtain a Lie theoretic intrinsic characterization of the connected and simply connected solvable Lie groups whose regular representation is a factor representation. When this is the case, the corresponding von Neumann algebras are…

We show that, for any prime power n and any convex body K (i.e., a compact convex set with interior) in Rd, there exists a partition of K into n convex sets with equal volumes and equal surface areas. Similar results regarding…

Affine buildings are in a certain sense analogs of symmetric spaces. It is therefore natural to try to find analogs of results for symmetric spaces in the theory of buildings. In this paper we prove a version of Kostant's convexity theorem…

We provide detailed calculations for the classification of representations of compact simple Lie groups with non-empty boundary in the orbit space, first announced in a previous paper [arXiv:2112.00513] by the same authors.

We study properties of convex hulls of (co)adjoint orbits of compact groups, with applications to invariant theory and tensor product decompositions. The notion of partial convex hulls is introduced and applied to define two numerical…

We study polar orbitopes, i.e. convex hulls of orbits of a polar representation of a compact Lie group. The face structure is studied by means of the gradient momentum map and it is shown that every face is exposed and is again a polar…

We prove an analogue of Kostant's convexity theorem for split real and complex Kac-Moody groups associated to free and cofree root data. The result can be seen as a first step towards describing the multiplication map in a Kac-Moody group…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth $G$-variety with two orbits: an open orbit and a a closed orbit of codimension $1$. We give an algebraic description of the category of $G$-equivariant vector bundles on $X$ under a mild…

Let G be a connected real reductive Lie group acting linearly on a finite dimensional vector space V over R. This action admits a Kempf-Ness function and so we have an associated gradient map. If G is Abelian we explicitly compute the image…

The class of subsets of locally convex spaces called $\mu$-compact sets is considered. This class contains all compact sets as well as several noncompact sets widely used in applications. It is shown that many results well known for compact…

For a representation of a connected compact Lie group G in a finite dimensional real vector space U and a subspace V of U, invariant under a maximal torus of G, we obtain a sufficient condition for V to meet all G-orbits in U, which is also…

Let G be a real or complex linear algebraic reductive group. Let H and F be reductive subgroups. We study the natural H action on G/F. The main theorem of this note shows that generic H orbits are closed. This theorem is then applied to…

A representation of a finitely generated group into the projective general linear group is called convex co-compact if it has finite kernel and its image acts convex co-compactly on a properly convex domain in real projective space. We…

Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…

For a commutative, unital and integral quantale V, we generalize to V-groups the results developed by Gran and Michel for preordered groups. We first of all show that, in the category V-Grp of V-groups, there exists a torsion theory whose…
