We produce combinatorial formulas for invariants of smooth embeddings of $(2\ell-1)$-spheres into $\mathbb{R}^{3\ell}$ for $\ell\geq 2$. Furthermore, we obtain such a formula for the Haefliger invariant, which classifies smooth knots…
Let $F$ be a finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_F$, and let $\mathbf{G}$ denote a split, connected reductive group over $\mathcal{O}_F$. We fix a Borel subgroup $\mathbf{B} =…
In this article, we prove that a lattice representation of the Heisenberg group $H_{\mathbb R}^{(g,h)}$ associated to a lattice $L$ and a positive definite symmetric half-integral matrix M of degree $h$ is unitarily equivalent to the direct…
Given a decomposition of a vector space $V=V_1\oplus V_2$, the direct product $\mathfrak{X}$ of the projective space $\mathbb{P}(V_1)$ with a Grassmann variety $\mathrm{Gr}_k(V)$ can be viewed as a double flag variety for the symmetric pair…
We describe embeddings of $n$-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds, including Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker spaces, in $\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ such that the metrics of the submanifolds are inherited by a restriction from that of…
We describe a relationship between work of Laksov, Gatto, and their collaborators on realizations of (generalized) Schubert calculus of Grassmannians, and the geometric Satake correspondence of Lusztig, Ginzburg, and Mirkovi\'c and Vilonen.…
We describe explicitly the Grothendieck rings of finite-dimensional representations of the periplectic Lie superalgebras. In particular, the Grothendieck ring of the Lie supergroup $P(n)$ is isomorphic to the ring of symmetric polynomials…
Let $G=\SL(2,\R)\ltimes(\R^2)^{k}$, let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of $\SL(2,\Z)\ltimes(\Z^2)^{k}$, and let $u_{\R}=(u_x)_{x\in\R}$ be the one-parameter subgroup of $G$ given by $u_x=\left(\matr 1x01,0\right)$. We prove polynomially…
We derive a Lorentzian OPE inversion formula for the principal series of $sl(2,\mathbb{R})$. Unlike the standard Lorentzian inversion formula in higher dimensions, the formula described here only applies to fully crossing-symmetric…
We give a new proof of a theorem of Loos stating that a Riemannian symmetric space X with rectangular unit lattice is a symmetric R-space. For this we construct explicitly an isometric extrinsically symmetric embedding of X in a Euclidean…
A complete classification of locally spherically symmetric four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes is given in terms of their local conformal symmetries. The general solution is given in terms of canonical metric types and the associated…
Let ${\cal I}_n$ be the symmetric inverse semigroup on $X_n = \{1, 2, \ldots , n\}$ and let ${\cal DDP}_n$ and ${\cal ODDP}_n$ be its subsemigroups of order-decreasing partial isometries and of order-preserving and order-decreasing partial…
Let $X=G/K$ be a higher rank symmetric space of non-compact type, where $G$ is the connected component of the isometry group of $X$. We define the splitting rank of $X$, denoted by $\text{srk}(X)$, to be the maximal dimension of a totally…
We give a new proof for the description of the blocks in the category of representations of a reductive algebraic group $\mathbf{G}$ over a field of positive characteristic $\ell$ (originally due to Donkin), by working in the Satake…
For a given manifold $M$ we consider the non-linear Grassmann manifold $Gr_n(M)$ of $n$-dimensional submanifolds in $M$. A closed $(n+2)$-form on $M$ gives rise to a closed 2-form on $Gr_n(M)$. If the original form was integral, the 2-form…
These notes present an application of the geometric Satake equivalence to the description of characters of indecomposable tilting modules for reductive algebraic groups over fields of positive characteristic, obtained in joint work with G.…
Real and regular soliton solutions of the KP hierarchy have been classified in terms of the totally nonnegative (TNN) Grassmannians. These solitons are referred to as KP solitons, and they are expressed as singular (tropical) limits of…
For an arbitrary split adjoint group we identify the unramified Whittaker space with the space of skew-invariant functions on the lattice of coweights and deduce from it the Casselman-Shalika formula.
Lorentzian polynomials are a fascinating class of real polynomials with many applications. Their definition is specific to the nonnegative orthant. Following recent work, we examine Lorentzian polynomials on proper convex cones. For a…
Let $\Pi$ be a polar space of type $\textsf{D}_{n}$. Denote by ${\mathcal G}_{\delta}(\Pi)$, $\delta\in \{+,-\}$ the associated half-spin Grassmannians and write $\Gamma_{\delta}(\Pi)$ for the corresponding half-spin Grassmann graphs. In…
