We prove that for every reductive group G with a maximal torus T and the Weyl group W there is a natural normalization map chi from T^N/W to an irreducible component of the G-character variety of Z^N. We prove that chi is an isomorphism for…

It is shown how $W$-algebras emerge from very peculiar canonical transformations with respect to the canonical symplectic structure on a compact Riemann surface. The action of smooth diffeomorphisms of the cotangent bundle on suitable…

We determine the algebra of holonomy symmetries of sigma models propagating on supersymmetric heterotic backgrounds with a non-compact holonomy group. We demonstrate that these close as a W-algebra, which in turn is specified by a Lie…

Let H be the Taft algebra over a finite commutative ring R. When N is a unit in R, we show that all H-cleft extensions over R are determined up to H-comodule algebra isomorphism by their polynomial H-identities.

We determine minimal Cayley--Hamilton and Capelli identities for matrices over a Grassmann algebra of finite rank. For minimal standard identities, we give lower and upper bounds on the degree. These results improve on upper bounds given by…

Let $X= \{x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n\}$ be a finite alphabet, and let $K$ be a field. We study classes $\mathfrak{C}(X, W)$ of graded $K$-algebras $A = K\langle X\rangle / I$, generated by $X$ and with a fixed set of obstructions $W$. Initially…

Let $W$ be a finite Coxeter group. We give an algebraic presentation of what we refer to as ``the non-crossing algebra'', which is associated to the hyperplane complement of $W$ and to the cohomology of its Milnor fibre. This is used to…

We construct a universal envelope for any Poisson- and Gerstenhaber algebra. While the deformation theory of Poisson algebras seems to be partially trivial, results from string- and M-theory suggest a rich deformation theory of Gerstenhaber…

We provide several ingredients towards a generalization of the Littlewood-Richardson rule from Chow groups to algebraic cobordism. In particular, we prove a simple product-formula for multiplying classes of smooth Schubert varieties with…

We study Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity for points of Schubert varieties in the complete flag variety, by Groebner degenerations of the Kazhdan-Lusztig ideal. In the covexillary case, we give a positive combinatorial rule for multiplicity by…

We first present some identities involving the Pochhammer symbol (rising factorial). We also recall and present some new properties of the Jacobi polynomials. We use them to expand a general hypergeometric function in an orthogonal series…

We define and study generalized nil-Coxeter algebras associated to Coxeter groups. Motivated by a question of Coxeter (1957), we construct the first examples of such finite-dimensional algebras that are not the 'usual' nil-Coxeter algebras:…

We report on generalizations of the KdV-type integrable hierarchies of Drinfel'd and Sokolov. These hierarchies lead to the existence of new classical $W$-algebras, which arise as the second Hamiltonian structure of the hierarchies. In…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We exhibit a counterexample against a theorem asserted in one of our earlier papers, which claims to characterize the integral closure of K((t)) within the field of…

A graph is Schur-positive if its chromatic symmetric function expands nonnegatively in the Schur basis. All claw-free graphs are conjectured to be Schur-positive. We introduce a combinatorial object corresponding to a graph G, called a…

Let $\k$ be a field and let $A$ be a standard $\mathbb{N}$-graded $\k$-algebra. Using numerical information of some invariants in the primary decomposition of $0$ in $A$, namely the so called dimension filtration, we associate a bivariate…

We show that for any integer $N$, there are only finitely many cuspidal algebraic automorphic representations of ${\rm GL}_n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, with $n$ varying, whose conductor is $N$ and whose weights are in the interval…

It is shown that the expansion methods developed in refs. arXiv:hep-th/0212347 and arXiv:hep-th/0401033v2 can be generalized so that they permit to study the expansion of algebras of loops, both when the compact finite-dimensional algebra…

In this article, we study Chow polynomials of weakly ranked posets and prove the existence of Gorenstein algebras with the K\"ahler package such that their Hilbert--Poincar\'e series agrees with the Chow polynomial. Our statement provides…

Infinite-dimensional Galilean conformal algebras can be constructed by contracting pairs of symmetry algebras in conformal field theory, such as $W$-algebras. Known examples include contractions of pairs of the Virasoro algebra, its $N=1$…
