We study the totally non-negative part of the complete flag variety and of its tropicalization. We start by showing that Lusztig's notion of non-negative complete flag variety coincides with the flags in the complete flag variety which have…

We construct a new gauge theory on a pair of d-dimensional noncommutative tori. The latter comes from an intimate relationship between the noncommutative geometry associated with a lattice vertex operator algebra A and the noncommutative…

Denote the points in {1,2,..,r}^{Z}= {1,2,..,r}^{N} x {1,2,..,r}^{N} by ({y}^*, {x}). Given a Lipschitz continuous observable A: {1,2,..,r}^{Z} \to {R} , we define the map {G}^+: {H}\to {H} by {G}^+(\phi)({y}^*) = \sup_{\mu \in {M}_\sigma}…

For a locally compact Abelian group $G$, the algebra of Rajchman measures, denoted by $M_0(G)$, is the set of all bounded regular Borel measures on $G$ whose Fourier transform vanish at infinity. In this paper, we investigate the spectral…

This note is motivated by the problem of understanding Springer's remarkable action of the Weyl group $W=N_G(T)/T$ of a semi-simple complex linear algebraic group $G$, with maximal torus $T$, on the cohomology algebra of an arbitrary…

In this paper we show that each non-zero ideal of a twisted generalized Weyl algebra (TGWA) $A$ intersects the centralizer of the distinguished subalgebra $R$ in $A$ non-trivially. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for…

Twisted generalized Weyl algebras (TGWAs) $A(R,\sigma,t)$ are defined over a base ring $R$ by parameters $\sigma$ and $t$, where $\sigma$ is an $n$-tuple of automorphisms, and $t$ is an $n$-tuple of elements in the center of $R$. We show…

We classify the (semi-simple parts of the) Lie algebra of the Zariski closure of a discrete subgroup of a split simple real-algebraic Lie group, whose limit sets are minimal and such that the limit set in the space of full flags contains a…

Let k be a finite field, a global field or a local non-archimedean field. Let H_1 and H_2 be two split, connected, semisimple algebraic groups defined over k. We prove that if H_1 and H_2 share the same set of maximal k-tori up to…

In the paper we introduce a new family of "small" sets which is tightly connected with two well known $\sigma$-ideals: of Haar-null sets and of Haar-meager sets. We define a subset $A$ of a topological group $X$ to be…

Motivated by some questions in the path integral approach to (topological) gauge theories, we are led to address the following question: given a smooth map from a manifold $M$ to a compact group $G$, is it possible to smoothly `diagonalize'…

We extend \L ukasiewicz logic obtaining the infinitary logic $\mathcal{IR}\L$ whose models are algebras $C(X,[0,1])$, where $X$ is a basically disconnected compact Hausdorff space. Equivalently, our models are unit intervals in…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field and let $W$ be its Weyl group. In a series of papers, Lusztig introduced a map from the set $[W]$ of conjugacy classes of $W$ to the set $[G_u]$ of unipotent classes of $G$.…

Let $\k$ be a characteristic zero PID, $S$ be a $\k$-algebra and $T\subseteq S$ be a full rank subalgebra. Suppose the algebra $T$ is symmetric. It is important to know when $T$ is a {\em maximal symmetric subalgebra} of $S$, i.e. no…

In a recent joint work with V. Turaev (cf. math.DG/9810114) we defined a new concept of combinatorial torsion which we called absolute torsion. Compared with the classical Reidemeister torsion it has the advantage of having a well-defined…

We consider two sign characters defined on a tamely ramified maximal torus T of a twisted Levi subgroup M of a reductive p-adic group G. We show that their product extends to the stabilizer M(F)_x of any point x in the Bruhat-Tits building…

Contramodules are module-like algebraic structures endowed with infinite summation (or, occasionally, integration) operations satisfying natural axioms. Introduced originally by Eilenberg and Moore in 1965 in the case of coalgebras over…

We prove a conjecture of Brochier, Jordan, Safronov, and Snyder [BJSS21], first formulated by Lurie [Lur09b], characterizing fully-dualizable and invertible $\mathcal{E}_n$-algebras viewed as objects in the higher Morita categories…

It was shown by A. Connes, M. Douglas and A. Schwarz that noncommutative tori arise naturally in consideration of toroidal compactifications of M(atrix) theory. A similar analysis of toroidal Z_{2} orbifolds leads to the algebra B_{\theta}…

We show that the totally nonnegative part of a partial flag variety $G/P$ (in the sense of Lusztig) is a regular CW complex, confirming a conjecture of Williams. In particular, the closure of each positroid cell inside the totally…
