In this article, we consider a dual pair $(G, G')$ in the symplectic group $Sp(W)$ with $G$ compact and let $(\tilde{G}, \tilde{G}')$ be the preimages of $G$ and $G'$ in the metaplectic group $\widetilde{Sp(W)}$. For every irreducible…

In this paper we define a new category of almost complex riemannian 4- manifolds and discuss some basic properties of such pseudo symplectic manifolds. Some motivation based on the Seiberg - Witten theory is imposed.

We compute all the spin fake degrees for the exceptional Weyl groups, which are by definition the graded multiplicities of the simple modules of a spin Weyl group in its spin coinvariant algebra. The spin fake degrees are all shown to be…

In this thesis, we develop algorithms similar to the Gaussian elimination algorithm in symplectic and split orthogonal similitude groups. As an application to this algorithm, we compute the spinor norm for split orthogonal groups. Also, we…

We refer to the set of the orders of elements of a finite group as its spectrum and say that finite groups are isospectral if their spectra coincide. In the paper we determine all finite groups isospectral to the simple groups $S_6(q)$,…

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of odd residue characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be the unramified unitary group $U(2, 1)(E/F)$, and $K$ be a maximal compact open subgroup of $G$. For an $\overline{\mathbf{F}}_p$-smooth representation…

The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…

Positive Dehn twist products for some elements of finite order in the mapping class group of a 2-dimensional closed, compact, oriented surface $\Sigma_g$, which are rotations of $\Sigma_g$ through $2\pi /p$, are presented. The homeomorphism…

In this paper, we classify regular polytopes with automorphism groups of order $2^n$ and Schl\"afli types $\{4, 2^{n-3}\}, \{4, 2^{n-4}\}$ and $\{4, 2^{n-5}\}$ for $n \geq 10$, therefore giving a partial answer to a problem proposed by…

We obtain the symplectic group $\SP(V)$ as the universal completion of an amalgam of low rank subgroups akin to Levi components. We let $\SP(V)$ act flag-transitively on the geometry of maximal rank subspaces of $V$. We show that this…

We study some explicit Siegel modular forms from Weil representations. For the classical theta group $\Gamma_m(1,2)$ with $m > 1$, there are some eighth roots of unity associated with these modular forms, as noted in the works of Andrianov,…

In our previous paper, we gave a complete classification of the unitary highest weight modules for the universal covers of the Lie groups $Sp(2n, \mathbb{R}), SO^{*}(2n)$ and $SU(p, q)$, using the Dirac inequality and the so called PRV…

In this paper we study the problem of computing the Dirac cohomology of the special unipotent representations of the real groups Sp(2n,R) and U(p,q).

Suppose $\ell$ is a prime number, $\ell >3$, $K$ is a field that is an unramified finite extension of the field $\Q_\ell$ of $\ell$-adic numbers, and $G$ is a finite group that is a semi-direct product of a normal $\ell'$-subgroup $H$ and a…

We develop cycle index generating functions for orthogonal groups in even characteristic, and give some enumerative applications. A key step is the determination of the values of the complex linear-Weil characters of the finite symplectic…

We outline an algorithm for computing Hecke operators on equivariant cohomology $H^\ast_{\Gamma_{\text{Sp}}}(X_{\text{Sp}};\rho)$ for the symplectic group $\text{Sp}_4(\mathbb{R})$. To do this, we define a new acyclic cell complex for…

This note extends some results of a previous paper (math.RT/0403250) about finite dimensional representations of the wreath product symplectic reflection algebra H(k,c,N,G) of rank N attached to a finite subgroup G of SL(2,C) (here k is a…

Reductive W-algebras which are generated by bosonic fields of spin-1, a single spin-2 field and fermionic fields of spin-3/2 are classified. Three new cases are found: a `symplectic' family of superconformal algebras which are extended by…

Let $Y$ be a scheme in which 2 is invertible and let $V$ be a rank $n$ vector bundle on $Y$ endowed with a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form $q$. The orthogonal group ${\bf O}(q)$ of the form $q$ is a group scheme over $Y$ whose…
