Let $\Omega$ be the {\em superspace ring} of polynomial-valued differential forms on affine $n$-space. The natural action of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on $n$-space induces an action of $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on $\Omega$. The {\em…
Given the rank $n$ superspace $\Omega_n$, the ring of polynomial-valued differential forms on $\mathbb C^n$, one can define an action of hyperoctahedral group $\mathfrak B_n$ on it. This leads to a superspace coinvariant ideal $SR_n^B$,…

Superspace of rank $n$ is a $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra with $n$ commuting generators $x_1, \dots, x_n$ and $n$ anticommuting generators $\theta_1, \dots, \theta_n$. We present an extension of the Vandermonde determinant to superspace which…

Notable results on the special values of $L$-functions of Siegel modular forms were obtained by J. Sturm in the case when the degree $n$ is even and the weight $k$ is an integer. In this paper we extend this method to half-integer weights…
The paper is devoted to the proof of the following conjecture due to B. Feigin. Let $\frak u_\ell$ be the small quantum group a the primitive $\ell$-th root of unity. Then it is known that the usual $Ext$ algebra of the trivial $\frak…
In commutative invariant theory, a classical result due to Auslander says that if $R = \Bbbk[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ and $G$ is a finite subgroup of $\text{Aut}_{\text{gr}}(R) \cong \text{GL}(n,\Bbbk)$ which contains no reflections, then there is…
