We define a multiple Dirichlet series whose group of functional equations is the Weyl group of the affine Kac-Moody root system $\tilde{A}_n$, generalizing the theory of multiple Dirichlet series for finite Weyl groups. The construction is…

We classify closed abelian subgroups of the automorphism group of any compact classical simple Lie algebra whose centralizer has the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup, and describe Weyl groups of maximal abelian subgroups.

We introduce the notion of locally finite root supersystems as a generalization of both locally finite root systems and generalized root systems. We classify irreducible locally finite root supersystems.

There are many different ways that the exponents of Weyl groups of irreducible root systems have been defined and put into practice. One of the most classical and algebraic definitions of the exponents is related to the eigenvalues of…

We tackle several problems related to a finite irreducible crystallographic root system $\Phi$ in the real vector space $\mathbb E$. In particular, we study the combinatorial structure of the subsets of $\Phi$ cut by affine subspaces of…

For the affine and hyperbolic root system the symmetric part of the centralizers of root subgroups in the corresponding Steinberg groups are calculated. In the affine case the corresponding root subsystems can be computed in term of the…

Irreducible nonzero level modules with finite-dimensional weight spaces are studied for non-twisted affine Lie superalgebras. A complete classification is obtained for superalgebras A(m,n)^ and C(n)^. In other cases the classification…

Consider a system F of n polynomials in n variables, with a total of n+k distinct exponent vectors, over any local field L. We discuss conjecturally tight bounds on the maximal number of non-degenerate roots F can have over L, with all…

It is shown that if $R$ is a ring, $p$ a prime element of an integral domain $D\leq R$ with $\bigcap_{n=1}^\infty p^nD=0$ and $p\in U(R)$, then $R$ has a conch maximal subring (see \cite{faith}). We prove that either a ring $R$ has a conch…

We classify regular subalgebras of affine Kac-Moody algebras in terms of their root systems. In the process, we establish that a root system of a subalgebra is always an intersection of the root system of the algebra with a sublattice of…

A function field over a finite field is called maximal if it achieves the Hasse-Weil bound. Finding possible genera that maximal function fields achieve has both theoretical interest and practical applications to coding theory and other…

We characterize the maximal discrete subgroups of $SO^+(2,n+2)$, which contain the discriminant kernel of an even lattice, which contains two hyperbolic planes over $\mathbb{Z}$. They coincide with the normalizers in $SO^+(2,n+2)$ and are…

Let G be a finite group. For each integral representation $\rho$ of G we consider $\rho-$decomposable principally polarized abelian varieties; that is, principally polarized abelian varieties (X,H) with $\rho(G)-$action, of dimension equal…

Let $G$ be a connected simple Lie group with finite centre, $K$ be a maximal compact subgroup of $G,$ and rank$(G)=$ rank$(K).$ Let $\frak{g}_0=$Lie$(G), \frak{k}_0=$Lie$(K) \subset \frak{g}_0, \frak{t}_0$ be a maximal abelian subalgebra of…

In this paper, we determine the finite groups with a Sylow $r$-subgroup contained in a unique maximal subgroup. The proof involves a reduction to almost simple groups, and our main theorem extends earlier work of Aschbacher in the special…

In this paper we investigate aspects of rigidity and flexibility for conformal iterated function systems. For the case in which the systems are not essentially affine we show that two such systems are conformal equivalent if and only if in…

We construct explicitly a family of proper subgroups of the tame automorphism group of affine three-space (in any characteristic) which are generated by the affine subgroup and a non-affine tame automorphism. One important corollary is the…

Let K be a field and G a split connected reductive affine algebraic K-group. Let T be a split maximal torus of G, W its finite Weyl group, and R its root system. After fixing a realization of R in G and choosing a simple system for R, one…

We adapt the generalization of root systems of the second author and H. Yamane to the terminology of category theory. We introduce Cartan schemes, associated root systems and Weyl groupoids. After some preliminary general results, we…

We generalize the notion of a root system by relaxing the conditions that ensure that it is invariant under reflections and study the resulting structures, which we call generalized root systems (GRSs for short). Since both Kostant root…
