The Hilbert-Smith Conjecture states that if G is a locally compact group which acts effectively on a connected manifold as a topological transformation group, then G is a Lie group. A rather straightforward proof of this conjecture is…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. We prove that if $V$ and $W$ are orthogonal $G$-representations such that $V^G=W^G=\{0\}$, then a $G$-equivariant map $S(V) \to S(W)$ exists provided that $\dim V^H \leq \dim W^H$ for any closed subgroup…

We construct the Cartier duality equivalence for affine commutative group schemes $G$ whose coordinate ring is a flat Mittag-Leffler module over an arbitrary base ring $R$. The dual $G^\vee$ of $G$ turns out to be an ind-finite ind-scheme…

Given an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic 0, we study Lie bialgebra structures on $sl(n,\mathbb{F})$, based on the description of the corresponding classical double. For any Lie bialgebra structure $\delta$, the classical…

The Moore-Tachikawa conjecture is that each connected complex semisimple group $G$ determines a two-dimensional TQFT in a category of Hamiltonian symplectic varieties. While it would be worthwhile to prove this conjecture outright, our…

In this note, given a pair $(\mathfrak{g}, \lambda)$, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a complex semisimple Lie algebra and $\lambda \in \mathfrak{h}^*$ is a dominant integral weight of $\mathfrak{g}$, where $\mathfrak{h} \subset \mathfrak{g}$ is…

We construct natural operators connecting the cohomology of the moduli spaces of stable Higgs bundles with different ranks and genera which, after numerical specialization, recover the topological mirror symmetry conjecture of…

We explain why on certain five-manifolds, topological 5d $\mathcal{N} = 2$ gauge theory of Haydys-Witten twist with gauge group $G$, is dual to that of Geyer-M\"{u}lsch twist with gauge group $^LG$, where $G$ is a real, compact Lie group…

Dual representations $V$ and $V^*$ of a complex connected algebraic group $G$ simultaneously have either infinitely or finitely many orbits. Whenever the latter holds, the orbits in $V$ and $V^*$ are in a bijective correspondence called…

Let $G$ be a compact, connected simple Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ its Lie algebra. It is known that if $\mu $ is any $G$-invariant measure supported on an adjoint orbit in $\mathfrak{g}$, then for each integer $k$, the $k$% -fold…

Let $S$ be a closed Shimura variety uniformized by the complex $n$-ball. The Hodge conjecture predicts that every Hodge class in $H^{2k} (S, \Q)$, $k=0, \ldots, n$, is algebraic. We show that this holds for all degree $k$ away from the…

Recently, V.Ginzburg introduced and studied in depth the notion of a principal nilpotent pair in a semisimple Lie algebra \g. Our aim is to contribute to the general theory of nilpotent pairs. Roughly speaking, a nilpotent pair (e_1,e_2)…

Let $F/E$ be a Galois extension of totally real number fields, with Galois group $\mathrm{Gal}(F/E)$. Let $\mathfrak{N}$ be an integral ideal which is $\mathrm{Gal}(F/E)$-invariant, and $k \ge 2$ an integer. In this note, we study the…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple simply connected algebraic group. Given two irreducible representations $V_1$ and $V_2$ of $G$, we are interested in some components of $V_1\otimes V_2$. Consider two geometric realizations of $V_1$ and $V_2$…

If $G$ is a compact Lie group, $T$ a maximal torus in $G$ (with Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\mathfrak{t}$ respectively) and $W$ the corresponding Weyl group, then the Berry-Robbins problem for $G$, as formulated by Sir Michael Atiyah…

We utilise SUSY quiver gauge theories to compute properties of Slodowy slices; these are spaces transverse to the nilpotent orbits of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. We analyse classes of quiver theories, with Classical gauge and flavour…

This paper studies spaces of generalized theta functions for odd orthogonal bundles with nontrivial Stiefel-Whitney class and the associated space of twisted spin bundles. In particular, we prove a Verlinde type formula and a dimension…

Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring of integers in an algebraic number field $K$ and let $S:=\operatorname{Spec}(\mathcal{O}_K)$. Let $T_0,\ldots,T_n$ be regular schemes of finite type over $S$ and let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over $T_n$…

Montonen-Olive duality implies that the categories of A-branes on the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface C for a pair of Langlands-dual groups are equivalent. We reformulate this as a statement about categories of B-branes…
