A reductive homogeneous space $G/H$ is always diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of an orbit of a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. We prove that if $G/H$ admits compact quotients, then the sphere bundle associated to this normal bundle is…

Let $G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group by an arithmetic lattice. We show that for reductive subgroups $H$ of $G$ that is large enough, the orbits of $H$ on $G/\Gamma$ intersect nontrivially with a fixed compact set. As a…

This manuscript is the first in a series of instalments that investigate spherically symmetric solutions within the effective dynamics program of Loop Quantum Gravity. The choice of lattice is adapted such that it remains invariant under a…

The theorems of M. Ratner, describing the finite ergodic invariant measures and the orbit closures for unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups, are extended for actions of subgroups generated by unipotent elements. More…

The algebras $\mathcal{L}_{g,n}(H)$ have been introduced by Alekseev-Grosse-Schomerus and Buffenoir-Roche in the middle of the 1990's, in the program of combinatorial quantization of the moduli space of flat connections over the surface…

The most important part of the new spin-foam loop quantum gravity formulation is the map $Y$: $H^{SU(2)} \rightarrow H^{SL(2,C)}$. It was only recently shown that the Y-Map is convergent in spite of the fact that the classical Peter-Weyl…

For a connected semisimple real Lie group $G$ of non-compact type, Wallach introduced a class of $K$-types called small. We classify all small $K$-types for all simple Lie groups and prove except just one case that each elementary spherical…

Rollings of reductive homogeneous spaces are investigated. More precisely, for a reductive homogeneous space $G / H$ with reductive decomposition $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{h} \oplus \mathfrak{m}$, we consider rollings of $\mathfrak{m}$ over…

Let $G/H$ be a contractible homogeneous Sasaki manifold. A compact locally homogeneous aspherical Sasaki manifold $\Gamma\big\backslash G/H$ is by definition a quotient of $G/H$ by a discrete uniform subgroup $\Gamma\leq G$. We show that a…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group and $H$ its reductive subgroup. Fix a Borel subgroup $B\subset G$ and a maximal torus $T\subset B$. The Cartan space $\a_{G,G/H}$ is, by definition, the subspace of $\Lie(T)^*$ generated by the weights…

We give a general expression of spherical functions on $p$-adic homogeneous spaces of $G$, based on data of $G$ and functional equations of spherical functions. Then, we show a unified method to obtain functional equations of spherical…

The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ is defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…

Variables adapted to the quantum dynamics of spherically symmetric models are introduced, which further simplify the spherically symmetric volume operator and allow an explicit computation of all matrix elements of the Euclidean and…

This article is the continuation of the work [DK] where we had proved maximal estimates $$\left\|\sup_{t > 0} |m(tA)f| \right\|_{L^p(\Omega,Y)} \leq C \|f\|_{L^p(\Omega,Y)}$$ for sectorial operators $A$ acting on $L^p(\Omega,Y)$ ($Y$ being…

For a compact, connected, simply-connected Lie group G, the loop group LG is the infinite-dimensional Hilbert Lie group consisting of H^1-Sobolev maps S^1-->G. The geometry of LG and its homogeneous spaces is related to representation…

Based on a recent purely geometric construction of observables for the spatial diffeomorphism constraint, we propose two distinct quantum reductions to spherical symmetry within full 3+1-dimensional loop quantum gravity. The construction of…

Let G be a complex semisimple Lie group, K a maximal compact subgroup and V an irreducible representation of K. Denote by M the unique closed orbit of G in P(V) and by O its image via the moment map. For any measure on M we construct a map…
