Given a homomorphism from a knot group to a fixed group, we introduce an element of a $K_1$-group, which is a generalization of (twisted) Alexander polynomials. We compare this $K_1$-class with other Alexander polynomials. In terms of…

This is a noncommutative version of the previous work entitled "Deformation Expression for Elements of Algebras (I)." In general in a noncommutative algebra, there is no canonical way to express elements in univalent way, which is often…

This paper studies connections between the preprojective representations of a valued quiver, the (+)-admissible sequences of vertices, and the Weyl group by associating to each preprojective representation a canonical (+)-admissible…

We construct families of representations for quantum groups over $\mathbb{Z}[v,v^{-1}]$-algebras that interpolate between Weyl modules and tilting modules. These families might be candidates for objects with characters satisfying the {\em…

We introduce the concept of an extension of a semilattice of groups $A$ by a group $G$ and describe all the extensions of this type which are equivalent to the crossed products $A*_\Theta G$ by twisted partial actions $\Theta$ of $G$ on…

The limit weak order on an affine Weyl group was introduced by Lam and Pylyavskyy in their study of total positivity for loop groups. They showed that in the case of the affine symmetric group the minimal elements of this poset coincide…

We show that untwisted respectively twisted conjugacy classes of a compact and simply connected Lie group which satisfy a certain integrality condition correspond naturally to irreducible highest weight representations of the corresponding…

Given an irreducible well-generated complex reflection group W with Coxeter number h, we call a Coxeter element any regular element (in the sense of Springer) of order h in W; this is a slight extension of the most common notion of Coxeter…

Let n be a positive integer and c an n-tuple of natural numbers. A convex set in Euclidean n-space given by a family of linear relations in the elements of c and depending on their natural order is defined. The extremal elements of this…

A theory of cyclic elements in semisimple Lie algebras is developed. It is applied to an explicit construction of regular elements in Weyl groups.

Let g be a simple Lie algebra, with fixed Borel subalgebra b and with Weyl group W. Expanding on previous work of Fan and Stembridge in the simply laced case, this note aims to study the fully commutative elements of W, and their…

We outline the proof of a conjecture of Kontsevich on the isomorphism between the group of polynomial symplectomorphisms in $2n$ variables and the group of automorphisms of the $n$-th Weyl algebra over complex numbers. Our proof uses…

We give an overview of some of the main results in geometric representation theory that have been proved by means of the Steinberg variety. Steinberg's insight was to use such a variety of triples in order to prove a conjectured formula by…

We consider closed, Weyl-transitive groups of automorphisms of thick buildings. For each element of such a group, we derive a combinatorial formula for its scale and establish the existence of a tidy subgroup for it that equals the…

Let w be an elliptic element of the Weyl group of a connected reductive group G. Let X be the set of pairs (g,B) where g is an element of G, B is a Borel subgroup of G and B,gBg^{-1} are in relative position w. Then G acts naturally on X.…

In an attempt to understand the origin of post groups introduced by C. Bai, L. Guo, Y. Sheng, R. Tang, from the perspective of rings, we introduce the notion of (weak) twisted post groups. First, we show that every element in a twisted post…

A functional ansatz is developed which gives certain elliptic solutions of the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (or WDVV) equation. This is based on the elliptic trilogarithm function introduced by Beilinson and Levin. For this to be a…

Ideas from deformation quantization are applied to deform the expression of elements of an algebra. Extending these ideas to certain transcendental elements implies that $\frac{1}{i\h}uv$ in the Weyl algebra is naturally viewed as an…

In the usual aim of discrete tomography, the reconstruction of an unknown discrete set is considered, by means of projection data collected along a set $U$ of discrete directions. Possible ambiguous reconstructions can arise if and only if…

Historically, the study of graded (twisted or otherwise) Calabi--Yau algebras has meant the study of such algebras under an $\mathbb{N}$-grading. In this paper, we propose a suitable definition for a twisted $G$-graded Calabi-Yau algebra,…
