We define a version of stable maps into the classifying stack $B\mathrm{GL}_N$, and develop a corresponding notion of $K$-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants. In this setting, the evaluation morphisms are not of finite type; the definition…

We study the approximation of holomorphic functions of several complex variables by the ring $\mathcal{P}^S(\mathbb{C}^n)$ of polynomials whose exponents are restricted to a convex cone $\mathbb{R}_+S$ for some compact convex $S\in…

In this work, we study multiplicity-free induced representations of finite groups. We analyze in great detail the structure of the Hecke algebra corresponding to the commutant of an induced representation and then specialize to the…

In this paper, we first characterize the polar decomposition of unbounded weighted composition operator pairs $\textbf{C}_{\phi,\omega}$ in an $L^2$-space. Based on this characterization, we introduce the $\lambda$-spherical mean transform…

Noncommutative K\"ahler structures were recently introduced as an algebraic framework for studying noncommutative complex geometry on quantum homogeneous spaces. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a \emph{compact quantum homogeneous…

For $ k \in \mathbb{N}$ we introduce an idempotent subalgebra, the spherical partition algebra ${\mathcal{SP} }_{k}$, of the partition algebra ${\mathcal{P} }_{k}$, that we define using an embedding associated with the trivial…

A strict quantization of a compact symplectic manifold $S$ on a subset $I\subseteq\R$, containing 0 as an accumulation point, is defined as a continuous field of $C^*$-algebras $\{A_{\hbar}\}_{\hbar\in I}$, with $A_0=C_0(S)$, and a set of…

Given a compact surface $\Gamma$ embedded in $\mathbb R^3$ with boundary $\partial \Gamma$, our goal is to construct a set of representatives for a basis of the relative cohomology group $H^1(\Gamma, \partial \Gamma^c)$, where $\Gamma^c$ is…

Let $T$ be a circle group, and $LT$ be its loop group. We hope to establish an index theory for infinite-dimensional manifolds which $LT$ acts on, including Hamiltonian $LT$-spaces, from the viewpoint of $KK$-theory. We have already…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple group over ${\Bbb Q}$. Given a maximal compact subgroup and a convenient arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma\subset G({\Bbb Q})$, one constructs an arithmetic manifold $S=S(\Gamma)=\Gamma\backslash X$. If $H\subset…

The discrete spatial geometry underlying Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) is degenerate almost everywhere. This is at apparent odds with the non- degeneracy of asymptotically flat metrics near spatial infinity. Koslowski generalised the LQG…

Labeled oriented trees, LOT's, encode spines of ribbon discs in the 4-ball and ribbon 2-knots in the 4-sphere. The unresolved asphericity question for these spines is a major test case for Whitehead's asphericity conjecture. In this paper…

In this article, we study compactifications of homogeneous spaces coming from equivariant, open embeddings into a generalized flag manifold $G/P$. The key to this approach is that in each case $G/P$ is the homogeneous model for a parabolic…

For any coadjoint orbit $G/L$, we determine all useful terms of the associated Savelyev-Seidel morphism defined on $H_{-*}(\Omega G)$. Immediate consequences are: (1) the dimension of the kernel of the natural map $\pi_*(G)\otimes…

Weighted cup-length calculations in singular cohomology led Farber and Grant in 2008 to general lower bounds for the topological complexity of lens spaces. We replace singular cohomology by K-theory, and weighted cup-length arguments by…

Let $G$ be an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group defined over a number field $k$, and let $S$ be a finite set of places of $k$ including all infinite places. Let $X$ be the product over $v\in S$ of the symmetric spaces…

If $(G,K)$ is a Gelfand pair, with $G$ a Lie group of polynomial growth and $K$ a compact subgroup of $G$, the Gelfand spectrum $\Sigma$ of the bi-$K$-invariant algebra $L^1(K\backslash G/K)$ admits natural embeddings into ${\mathbb R}^n$…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group that acts on a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and let $E$ be a $G$-equivariant algebraic vector bundle over $X$. A section of $E$ is regular if it is transversal to the zero…

Recently, the Wang et al. \cite{wwrq} proposed a coefficient conjecture for the family ${\mathcal S}_H^0(K)$ of $K$-quasiconformal harmonic mappings $f = h + \overline{g}$ that are sense-preserving and univalent, where…

Let H be a split reductive group over a local non-archimedean field, and let H^ denote its Langlands dual group. We present an explicit formula for the generating function of an unramified L-function associated to a highest weight…
