We use the theory of theta-groups developed by Vinberg, along with computations in the computer algebra system GAP4, to classify the orbits of Spin(10,C)x SL(4,C) acting on the tensor product of the half spin module of Spin(10,C) and the…

To what extent does the maximal subfield spectrum of a division algebra determine the isomorphism class of that algebra? It has been shown that over some fields a quaternion division algebra's isomorphism class is largely if not entirely…

Let $W$ be a finite-dimensional representation of a reductive algebraic group $G$. The invariant Hilbert scheme $\mathcal{H}$ is a moduli space that classifies the $G$-stable closed subschemes $Z$ of $W$ such that the affine algebra $k[Z]$…

The problem of the classification of the indefinite binary quadratic forms with integer coefficients is solved introducing a special partition of the de Sitter world, where the coefficients of the forms lie, into separate domains. Every…

We study the class of all algebras that are isotopic to a Hurwitz algebra. Isomorphism classes of such algebras are shown to correspond to orbits of a certain group action. A complete, geometrically intuitive description of the category of…

Using elementary linear algebra, this paper clarifies and proves some concepts about a recently introduced octonion-like associative division algebra over R. This octonion-like algebra is actually the same as the split-biquaternion algebra,…

A geometric construction of Z_2-graded orthogonal modular categories is given. Their 0-graded parts coincide with categories previously obtained by Blanchet and the author from the category of tangles modulo the Kauffman skein relations.…

For small dimensional Lie algebra's there are many so-called accidental isomorphisms which give rise to double covers of special orthogonal groups - Spin groups - which happen to coincide with groups already belonging to another…

Bochner's theorem characterizes positive definite functions on groups through the positivity of their Fourier transforms and plays a fundamental role in Harmonic analysis. While Bochner-type results are known for certain classes of…

For a unimodular totally disconnected locally compact group $G$ we introduce and study an analogue of the Hattori-Stallings rank $\tilde{\rho}(P)\in\mathbf{h}_G$ for a finitely generated projective rational discrete left $\mathbb…

We introduce a class of left cancellative categories we call ordinal graphs for which there is a functor $d:\Lambda\rightarrow\mathrm{Ord}$ by which morphisms of $\Lambda$ factor. We use generators and relations to study the Cuntz-Krieger…

For every odd prime $p$ and every integer $n\geq 12$ there is a Heisenberg group of order $p^{5n/4+O(1)}$ that has $p^{n^2/24+O(n)}$ pairwise nonisomorphic quotients of order $p^{n}$. Yet, these quotients are virtually indistinguishable.…

$O(N)$ invariants are the observables of real tensor models. We use regular colored graphs to represent these invariants, the valence of the vertices of the graphs relates to the tensor rank. We enumerate $O(N)$ invariants as $d$-regular…

Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field whose residue field has characteristic different from $2$. Let $(D,\sigma)$ be a $K-$division algebra with involution of the first kind, and $h$ be a $K-$anisotropic $\epsilon$-hermitian form…

Let~$A$ be a quotient of $J_0(N)$ associated to a newform $f$ such that the special $L$-value of $A$ (at $s=1$) is non-zero. We give a formula for the ratio of the special $L$-value to the real period of $A$ that expresses this ratio as a…

Let $K$ be a global function field together with a place $\infty$, and $A$ the subring of functions regular outside $\infty$. In this paper we present an effective method to evaluate the (locally free) class number of an arbitrary…

A first characterization of the isomorphism classes of $k$-involutions for any reductive algebraic group defined over a perfect field was given in \cite{Helm2000} using $3$ invariants. In \cite{HWD04,Helm-Wu2002} a full classification of…

Spinor structure and internal symmetries are considered within one theoretical framework based on the generalized spin and abstract Hilbert space. Complex momentum is understood as a generating kernel of the underlying spinor structure. It…

We restate the notion of orthogonal calculus in terms of model categories. This provides a cleaner set of results and makes the role of O(n)-equivariance clearer. Thus we develop model structures for the category of n-polynomial and…
