Related papers: On the Mathieu Conjecture for $Sp(N)$ and $G_2$
In this paper, we sharpen results obtained by the author in 2023. The new results reduce the Mathieu Conjecture on $SU(N)$ (formulated for all compact connected Lie groups by O. Mathieu in 1997) to a conjecture involving only functions on…
Building on work of M. M\"uger and L. Tuset, we reduce the Mathieu conjecture, formulated by O. Mathieu in 1997, for $SU(N)$ to a simpler conjecture in purely abelian terms. We sketch a similar reduction for $SO(N)$. The proofs rely on…
We reduce the Mathieu conjecture for $SU(2)$ to a conjecture about moments of Laurent polynomials in two variables with single variable polynomial coefficients.
We first propose a generalization of the image conjecture [Z3] for the commuting differential operators related with classical orthogonal polynomials. We then show that the non-trivial case of this generalized image conjecture is equivalent…
We study the Mathieu Conjecture for $SU(2)$ using the matrix elements of its unitary irreducible representations. We state a conjecture for the particular case $SU(2)$ implying the Mathieu Conjecture for $SU(2)$.
In this paper, we give an expository presentation of the paper of Olivier Mathieu. The paper of Mathieu proves that a Lie group-theoretic conjecture implies the Jacobian Conjecture. To give Mathieu's proof, we first review the required…
In this article, we prove a generalization of a theorem (Ogg's conjecture) due to Bary Mazur for arbitrary $N\in \N$ and for {\it number fields}. The main new observation is a modification of a theorem due to Glenn Stevens for the…
In 2005, A. Knutson--R. Vakil conjectured a puzzle rule for equivariant K-theory of Grassmannians. We resolve this conjecture. After giving a correction, we establish a modified rule by combinatorially connecting it to the authors' recently…
The Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture states that "quantisation commutes with reduction" in a specific technical setting. So far, this conjecture has almost exclusively been stated and proved for compact Lie groups $G$ acting on compact…
In a 1986 paper, Smyth proposed a conjecture about which integer-linear relations were possible among Galois-conjugate algebraic numbers. We prove this conjecture. The main tools (as Smyth already anticipated) are combinatorial rather than…
We formulate a number of related generalisations of the weight part of Serre's conjecture to the case of GL(n) over an arbitrary number field, motivated by the formalism of the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture. We give evidence for these…
The main result of this paper is an instance of the conjecture made by Gouvea and Mazur (Math. Res. Lett., 1995) which asserts that for certain values of r the space of r-overconvergent p-adic modular forms of tame level N and weight k…
The theorem of Duistermaat and Van der Kallen from 1998 proved the first case of the Mathieu conjecture. Using the theory of Mathieu-Zhao spaces, we can reformulate this theorem as $\operatorname{Ker} L$ is a Mathieu-Zhao space where $L$ is…
We define and compare two bivariant generalizations of the topological $K$-group $K^\top(G)$ for a topological group $G$. We consider the Baum-Connes conjecture in this context and study its relation to the usual Baum-Connes conjecture.
Let $p$ be a multilinear polynomial in several non-commuting variables with coefficients in a quadratically closed field $K$ of any characteristic. It has been conjectured that for any $n$, the image of $p$ evaluated on the set $M_n(K)$ of…
In this article, we explore a natural extension of the quadratic parametrization introduced in our previous work. By replacing the integer $n$ by $n^s$ ($ s\in\mathbb{R}, s>1$) and allowing the parameters to be real, we obtain for each…
Answering a question of P\'alfy and Pyber, we first prove the following extension of the k(GV)-Problem: Let G be a finite group and A\le Aut(G) such that (|G|,|A|)=1. Then the number of conjugacy classes of the semidirect product GA is at…
Let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group and $n\in \{3,4, 5\}$. Consider $S_n\times G$ as a subgroup of $S_n\times S_{|G|}\subset S_{n|G|}$, where $G$ embeds into the second factor of $S_n\times S_{|G|}$ via the regular representation. Over any…
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. Suppose $g_1, \dots, g_k$ are chosen independently from the Haar measure on $G$. Let $\mathcal{A} = \cup_{i \in [k]} \mathcal{A}_i$, where, $\mathcal{A}_i := \{g_i\} \cup \{g_i^{-1}\}$. Let…
We compute by a different method the generating series in Shimura's conjecture for Sp3, proved by Andrianov in 1967. We develop formulas for the Satake spherical maps for Sp_n and Gl_n.
