A digraph $\mathbb G$ is called weakly connected, strongly connected, and extremely connected if any two vertices of $\mathbb G$ are connected respectively by an oriented, a directed, and a symmetric path in $\mathbb G$. We investigate the…
Let $\Sigma_{g,n}$ be a compact oriented surface with genus $g\geq 2$ bordered by $n$ circles. Due to Witten, the twisted Reidemeister torsion coincides with a power of the Atiyah-Bott-Goldman-Narasimhan symplectic form on the space of…
We consider a classical Hamiltonian $H$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$, invariant by a finite group of symmetry $G$, whose Weyl quantization $\hat{H}$ is a selfadjoint operator on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$. If $\chi$ is an irreducible character of $G$, we…
Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…
Let $G$ be a simple complex group of adjoint type. In his unpublished work, Z. Yun associated to each $\theta$-group $(G_0, \mathfrak g_1)$ and a vector $X\in\mathfrak g_1$ a flat $G$-connection $\nabla ^X$ on $\mathbb P^1-\{0,\infty\}$,…
We construct a theory of higher local symbols along Parsin chains for reciprocity sheaves. Applying this formalism to differential forms, gives a new construction of the Parsin-Lomadze residue maps, and applying it to the torsion characters…
Let $\Gamma =(V,E)$ be a point-symmetric reflexive relation and let $v\in V$ such that $|\Gamma (v)|$ is finite (and hence $|\Gamma (x)|$ is finite for all $x$, by the transitive action of the group of automorphisms). Let $j\in \N$ be an…
Let $\rG$ be a reductive group over a commutative ring $k$. In this article, we prove that the adjoint quotient $\adqG$ is stable under base change. Moreover, if $\rG$ has a maximal torus $\rT$, then the adjoint quotient of the torus $\rT$…
Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$, and let $W_{2}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We prove that for any reductive group scheme $\mathbb{G}$ over $\mathbb{Z}$ such…
Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$. From a result due to Brauer, it can be derived that the character table of $G$ contains square submatrices which are induced by the $G$-conjugacy classes of elements in $N$ and the…
Let $\widehat G \subseteq G$ be complex reductive algebraic groups. The branching problem that aims to study $G$-modules as $\widehat G$-modules is encoded by a collection of branching multiplicities parameterised by pairs of dominant…
Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a unipotent group scheme defined in terms of a nilpotent Lie lattice over the ring $\mathcal{O}$ of integers of a number field. We consider bivariate zeta functions of groups of the form $\mathbf{G}(\mathcal{O})$…
This paper is a contribution to the study of the subgroup structure of exceptional algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields of arbitrary characteristic. Following Serre, a closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group $G$ is…
In this paper, we prove the geometric expansion of a local twisted trace formula for the Whittaker induction of any symmetric pairs that are coregular. This generalizes the local (twisted) trace formula for reductive groups proved by Arthur…
We study some analytic properties of distance decreasing self-maps onto the complement of a smooth curve $\Sigma$ in $S^n$. For $n>4$ and $n\equiv 0 \mod 4$, let $\Sigma$ be an embedded circle in $S^n$ and let $g$ be a complete Riemannian…
The following discourse is inspired by the works on hyperbolic groups of Epstein, and Neumann/Reeves. Epstein showed that geometrically finite hyperbolic groups are biautomatic. Neumann/Reeves showed that virtually central extensions of…
We prove a theorem relating the automorphism group of a Cartan geometry to the group on which the geometry is modeled: a component of the adjoint representation of the first embeds in the adjoint representation of the second. Consequences…
We study some geometric properties of actions on nonpositively curved spaces related to complete reducibility and semisimplicity, focusing on representations of a finitely generated group in the group G of rational points of a reductive…
We extend the definition of Weinstein's Action homomorphism to Hamiltonian actions with equivariant moment maps of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie groups on symplectic manifolds, and show that under conditions including a uniform bound…
Let $G$ be a connected simply connected noncompact classical simple Lie group of Hermitian type. Then $G$ has unitary highest weight representations. The proof of the classification of unitary highest weight representations of $G$ given by…
