An element $g$ of a Lie group is called stably elliptic if it is contained in the interior of the set $G^e$ of elliptic elements, characterized by the property that $\mathrm{Ad}(g)$ generates a relatively compact subgroup. Stably elliptic…

We prove that when $q$ is a power of $2$, every complex irreducible representation of $\mathrm{Sp}(2n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ may be defined over the real numbers, that is, all Frobenius-Schur indicators are 1. We also obtain a generating function…

Let $R$ be a ring with $char(R)\neq2$ whose unit group are denoted by $\mathcal{U}(R)$, $G$ a group, and $RG$ its group ring. Let $*$ be an involution in $G$, $\sigma:G\rightarrow\mathcal{U}(R)$ be a nontrivial group homomorphism, with…

The Kazhdan Lusztig isomorphism, relating the affine Hecke algebra of a $p$-adic group to the equivariant $K$ theory of the Steinberg variety of its Langlands dual, played a key role in the proof of the Deligne Langlands conjectures…

We consider a continuously differentiable curve $t\mapsto \gamma(t)$ in the space of $2n\times 2n$ real symplectic matrices, which is the solution of the following ODE: $\frac{\mathrm{d}\gamma}{\mathrm{d}t}(t)=J_{2n}A(t)\gamma(t),…

Consider a compact symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$ with a Hamiltionan circle action. Then there are at least $n+1$ fixed points. Motivated by recent works on the case that the fixed point set consists of precisely $n+1$ isolated…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group over a field $k$. We call $g\in G(k)$ {\bf real} if $g$ is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ in $G(k)$. In this paper we study reality for groups of type $G_2$ over fields of characteristic different from 2. Let $G$ be…

Let $Sp(n)$ be the symplectic group of quaternionic $(n\times n)$-matrices. For any $1\leq k\leq n$, an element $A$ of $Sp(n)$ can be decomposed in $A= \begin{bmatrix} \alpha&T\cr \beta&P \end{bmatrix}$ with $P$ a $(k\times k)$-matrix. In…

Let $(V,\gamma )$ be a real finite dimensional vector space with a symmetric bilinear form $\gamma $ whose kernel is spanned by a nonzero vector. The set of invertible real linear mappings of $(V, \gamma )$ into itself forms a Lie group…

We present an explicit description of the 'fine group gradings' (i.e. group gradings which cannot be further refined) of the real forms of the semisimple Lie algebras $sl(4,\C)$, $sp(4,\C)$, and $o(4,\C)$. All together 12 real Lie algebras…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be an integral symplectic manifold and let $(L,\nabla)$ be a quantum line bundle, with connection, over $X$ having $\omega$ as curvature. With this data one can define an induced symplectic manifold $(\widetilde…

Let $(Z,\omega)$ be a \Keler manifold and let $U$ be a compact connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{u}$ acting on $Z$ and preserving $\omega$. We assume that the $U$-action extends holomorphically to an action of the complexified…

Let $G$ be a group. An element $g$ in $G$ is called reversible if it is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ within $G$, and called strongly reversible if it is conjugate to its inverse by an order two element of $G$. Let $\textbf{H}_{\mathbb H}^n$ be the…

We provide a family of representations of GL(2n) over a p-adic field that admit a non-vanishing linear functional invariant under the symplectic group (i.e. representations that are Sp(2n)- distinguished). While our result generalizes a…

We explicitly construct a particular real form of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_7$ in terms of symplectic matrices over the octonions, thus justifying the identifications $\mathfrak{e}_7\cong\mathfrak{sp}(6,\mathbb{O})$ and, at the group…

We study the almost Kaehler geometry of adjoint orbits of non-compact real semisimple Lie groups endowed with the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau symplectic form and a canonically defined almost complex structure. We give explicit formulas for the…

Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field of characteristic zero and odd residual characteristic. Let $\mathbf{Sp}_{2n}(F)$ denote the symplectic group defined over $F$, where $n\geq 2$. We prove that the Speh representations $\mathcal{U}(\delta,2)$,…

We give a classification of generic coadjoint orbits for the groups of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic surface. We also classify simple Morse functions on symplectic surfaces with respect to actions…

This is a companion paper of arXiv:1909.11492 and arXiv:1912.01930. We prove an equivalence relating representations of a degenerate orthosymplectic supergroup with the category of twisted $Sp(2n,{\mathbb C}[\![t]\!])$-equivariant…
