We presented a Hilbert-Mumford criterion for polystablility associated with an action of a real reductive Lie group $G$ on a real submanifold $X$ of a Kahler manifold $Z$. Suppose the action of a compact Lie group with Lie algebra…

Let $M$ be a commutative homogeneous space of a compact Lie group $G$ and $A$ be a closed $G$-invariant subalgebra of the Banach algebra $C(M)$. A function algebra is called antisymmetric if it does not contain nonconstant real functions.…

We introduce a practical construction of group-equivariant and permutation-invariant functions of $N$ variables given a finite-dimensional space stable with respect to the group action. The construction applies to any connected linear Lie…

Building on recent work in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, we construct a manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group for QCD. A gauge invariant cutoff is constructed by embedding the physical gauge theory in a spontaneously broken…

Let $G$ be a locally compact, Hausdorff, second countable groupoid and $A$ be a separable, $C_0(G^{(0)})$-nuclear, $G$-$C^*$-algebra. We prove the existence of quasi-invariant, completely positive and contractive lifts for equivariant,…

It is shown that the currently studied ``string-inspired'' model for gravity on a line can be formulated as a gauge invariant theory based on the Poincar\'e group with central extension -- a formulation that complements and simplifies…

We give a proof of Kontsevich's formality theorem for a general manifold using Fedosov resolutions of algebras of polydifferential operators and polyvector fields. The main advantage of our construction of the formality quasi-isomorphism is…

By using the gluing formula of the Seiberg-Witten invariant, we compute the Yamabe invariant Y(X) of 4-manifolds X obtained by performing surgeries along points, circles or tori on compact Kaehler surfaces. For instance, if M is a compact…

We study 4-dimensional simply connected Lie groups $G$ with left-invariant Riemannian metric $g$ admitting non-trivial conformal Killing 2-forms. We show that either the real line defined by such a form is invariant under the group action,…

The description of invariants of surfaces with respect to the motion groups is reduced to the description of invariants of parameterized surfaces with respect to the motion groups. Existence of a commuting system of invariant partial…

We introduce an invariant of a pair of commuting invertible matrices that we call the rotation index. We apply this invariant, together with the Milnor--Munkres--Novikov pairing, to the study of some questions about group actions of…

We extend Lie's classical method for finding group invariant solutions to the case of non-transverse group actions. For this extension of Lie's method we identify a local obstruction to the principle of symmetric criticality. Two examples…

We introduce the notion of pullback along a measurable cocycle and we use it to extend the Borel invariant studied by Bucher, Burger and Iozzi to the world of measurable cocycles. The Borel invariant is constant along cohomology classes and…

Let M be a manifold and g a Lie algebra acting on M. Differential forms Omega(M) carry a natural action of Lie derivatives L(x) and contractions I(x) of fundamental vector fields for x \in g. Contractions (anti-) commute with each other,…

Let $G$ be a Lie group acting properly on a smooth manifold $M$. If $M/G$ is connected, then we exhibit some simple and basic constructions for proper actions. In particular, we prove that the reduction principle in compact transformation…

To any Hamiltonian action of a reductive algebraic group $G$ on a smooth irreducible symplectic variety $X$ we associate certain combinatorial invariants: Cartan space, Weyl group, weight and root lattices. For cotangent bundles our…

Complexifying space time has many interesting applications, from the construction of higher dimensional unification, to provide a useful framework for quantum gravity and to better define some local symmetries that suffer singularities in…

When a globally supersymmetric theory is scale invariant, it must possess a Virial supercurrent supermultiplet. The multiplet structure is analogous to the R-current supermultiplet in globally R-symmetric theories but we put extra "$i$"s in…

It is shown that the action for Hamiltonian equations of motion can be brought into invariant symplectic form. In other words, it can be formulated directly in terms of the symplectic structure $\omega$ without any need to choose some…
