Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, let G=GL_n be the general linear group over $k$, let g=gl_n be its Lie algebra and let $D_s$ be subalgebra of the divided power algebra of g^* spanned by the divided power…
This work reveals a fundamental link between general covariance and Birkhoff's theorem. We extend Birkhoff's theorem from general relativity to a broad class of generally covariant gravity theories formulated in the Hamiltonian framework.…
When are two germs of analytic systems conjugate or orbitally equivalent under an analytic change of coordinates in the neighborhood of a singular point? A way to answer is to use normal forms. But there are large classes of dynamical…
We observe that any knot invariant extends to virtual knots. The isotopy classification problem for virtual knots is reduced to an algebraic problem formulated in terms of an algebra of arrow diagrams. We introduce a new notion of finite…
An exact invariant is derived for three-dimensional Hamiltonian systems of $N$ particles confined within a general velocity-independent potential. The invariant is found to contain a time-dependent function $f_{2}(t)$, embodying a solution…
We study nondifferentiable metrics occuring in general relativity via the method of equivalence of Cartan adapted to the Courant algebroids. We derive new local differential invariants naturally associated with the loci of…
We discuss the general properties of the theory of joint invariants of a smooth Lie group action in a manifold. Many of the known results about differential invariants, including Lie's finiteness theorem, have simpler versions in the…
We construct all independent local scalar monomials in the Riemann tensor at arbitrary dimension, for the special regime of static, spherically symmetric geometries. Compared to general spaces, their number is significantly reduced: the…
For several objects of interest in geometric complexity theory, namely for the determinant, the permanent, the product of variables, the power sum, the unit tensor, and the matrix multiplication tensor, we introduce and study a fundamental…
Given a reductive algebraic group $G$ and a finite dimensional algebraic $G$-module $V$, we study how close is the algebra of $G$-invariant polynomials on $V^{\oplus n}$ to the subalgebra generated by polarizations of $G$-invariant…
We compute equivariant fundamental classes of orbits in GL(2)-representations. As applications, we find degrees of the orbit closures corresponding to elliptic fibrations and self-maps of the projective line.
We define a quandle variety as an irreducible algebraic variety $Q$ endowed with an algebraically defined quandle operation $\rhd$. It can also be seen as an analogue of a generalized affine symmetric space or a regular $s$-manifold in…
We introduce a geometric invariant, called finite decomposition complexity (FDC), to study topological rigidity of manifolds. We prove for instance that if the fundamental group of a compact aspherical manifold M has FDC, and if N is…
We define new higher-order Alexander modules $\mathcal{A}_n(C)$ and higher-order degrees $\delta_n(C)$ which are invariants of the algebraic planar curve $C$. These come from analyzing the module structure of the homology of certain…
We prove that if $p>d$ there is a unique gaussian distribution (in the sense of Evans) on the space $\mathbb{Q}_p[x_1, \ldots, x_n]_{(d)}$ which is invariant under the action of $\mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{Z}_p)$ by change of variables. This…
A finite subgroup of $GL(n,\mathbb C)$ is involutory if the sum of the dimensions of its irreducible complex representations is given by the number of absolute involutions in the group. A uniform combinatorial model is constructed for all…
Let $V=V_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes V_n$ be a vector space over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero with $\dim(V_i)=d_i$. We study the ring of polynomial invariants $K[\operatorname{End}(V)^{\oplus…
A simple procedure to obtain complete, closed expressions for Lie algebra invariants is presented. The invariants are ultimately polynomials in the group parameters. The construction of finite group elements require the use of projectors,…
In this paper, we investigate structural properties of finite groups that are detected by certain group invariants arising from Dijkgraaf--Witten theory, a topological quantum field theory, in one space and one time dimension. In this…
An exact invariant is derived for $n$-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with general time-dependent potentials. The invariant is worked out in two equivalent ways. In the first approach, we define a special {\it Ansatz\/} for the…
