For a commutative ring $A$ we consider a related graph, $\Gamma(A)$, whose vertices are the unimodular rows of length $2$ up to multiplication by units. We prove that $\Gamma(A)$ is path-connected if and only if $A$ is a…

This article records basic topological, as well as homological properties of the space of homomorphisms Hom(L,G) where L is a finitely generated discrete group, and G is a Lie group, possibly non-compact. If L is a free abelian group of…

Let $\Sigma_d$ denote the symmetric group of degree $d$ and let $K$ be a field of positive characteristic $p$. For $p>2$ we give an explicit description of the first cohomology group $H^1(\Sigma_d,{\rm{Sp}}(\lambda))$, of the Specht module…

Polynomial representations of general linear groups and modules over Schur algebras are compared. We work over an arbitrary commutative ring and show that Schur-Weyl duality is the key for an equivalence between both categories.

The Weyl algebra (W_{2m}[h]; *) is the algebra generated by u=(u_1,...,u_m,v_1,.....,v_m) over C with the fundamental commutation relation [u_i,v_j]=-ih\delta_{ij}, where h is a positive constant. The Heisenberg algebra (\Cal H_{2m}[nu];*)…

Let $G=PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$, let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$, and let $\mathcal{H}$ be an irreducible unitary representation of $G$ with square-integrable matrix coefficients. A theorem in [Goodman, de la Harpe, Jones 1989] states that the…

We analyze the BGG Category $\mathcal{O}$ over a large class of generalized Weyl algebras (henceforth termed GWAs). Given such a "triangular" GWA for which Category $\mathcal{O}$ decomposes into a direct sum of subcategories, we study in…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over a field $k$, and let $V$ be a $G$-module. Recall that the nullcone of $(G,V)$ is the set of points $v$ in $V$ with the property that $f(v)=0$ for every positive degree homogeneous invariant $f$ in…

Degeneration of modules is usually defined geometrically, but due to results of Zwara and Riedtmann we can also define it in terms of exact sequences. This definition also works over fields that are not algebraically closed. Let $k$ be a…

Let $G$ be a complex, connected, reductive algebraic group. In this paper we show analogues of the computations by Borho and MacPherson of the invariants and anti-invariants of the cohomology of the Springer fibres of the cone of nilpotent…

Let $\Fl_\lambda$ be a generalized flag variety of a simple Lie group $G$ embedded into the projectivization of an irreducible $G$-module $V_\lambda$. We define a flat degeneration $\Fl_\lambda^a$, which is a ${\mathbb G}^M_a$ variety.…

Let $M$ be a left $R$-module. We define the \emph{homomorphism submodule graph} $\Gamma_{\mathrm{Hom}}(M)$ as the simple graph whose vertices are the proper submodules of $M$, with an edge between distinct vertices $N_1$ and $N_2$ if and…

Let $E$ be the natural representation of the special linear group $\mathrm{SL}_2(K)$ over an arbitrary field $K$. We use the two dual constructions of the symmetric power when $K$ has prime characteristic to construct an explicit…

Let $L$ be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $0$. Then by the original Levi theorem, $L = B \oplus R$ where $R$ is the solvable radical and $B$ is some maximal semisimple subalgebra. We prove that if $L$ is an…

We consider an invariant quantum Hamiltonian $H=-\Delta_{LB}+V$ in the $L^{2}$ space based on a Riemannian manifold $\tilde{M}$ with a countable discrete symmetry group $\Gamma$. Typically, $\tilde{M}$ is the universal covering space of a…

In this paper, we calculate the space $Ext^1_{GL(n)}(L_n(\lambda),L_n(\mu))$, where GL(n) is the general linear group of degree $n$ over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, $L_n(\lambda)$ and $L_n(\mu)$ are rational…

We give the first positive formulas for the weights of every simple highest weight module $L(\lambda)$ over an arbitrary Kac-Moody algebra. Under a mild condition on the highest weight, we also express the weights of $L(\lambda)$ as an…

We discuss the category $\cal I$ of level zero integrable representations of loop algebras and their generalizations. The category is not semisimple and so one is interested in its homological properties. We begin by looking at some…

We describe the semisimplification of the monoidal category of tilting modules for the algebraic group GL_n in characteristic p > 0. In particular, we compute the dimensions of the indecomposable tilting modules modulo p.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a quantized ($K$-theoretic) BFN Coulomb branch with $G=\mathbb{C}^*$ and any $N$, that is, $\mathcal{A}$ is a generalized Weyl or $q$-Weyl algebra. Let $M$ be an $\mathcal{A}$-$\overline{\mathcal{A}}$ bimodule. Choosing…
