Let $k$ be a nonperfect field of characteristic $2$. Let $G$ be a $k$-split simple algebraic group of type $E_6$ (or $G_2$) defined over $k$. In this paper, we present the first examples of nonabelian non-$G$-completely reducible…

We study the action of a real reductive group $G$ on a real submanifold $X$ of a Kahler manifold $Z$. We suppose that the action of a compact connected Lie group $U$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{u}$ extends holomorphically to an action of…

We provide upper bounds on the degrees of the coefficients of \v{S}apovalov elements for a simple Lie algebra. If $\fg$ is a contragredient Lie superalgebra and $\gc$ is a positive isotropic root of $\fg,$ we prove the existence and…

We describe an essential improvement of our recent algorithm for computing cohomology of Lie (super)algebra based on partition of the whole cochain complex into minimal subcomplexes. We replace the arithmetic of rational numbers or integers…

We study reductive subgroups $H$ of a reductive linear algebraic group $G$ -- possibly non-connected -- such that $H$ contains a regular unipotent element of $G$. We show that under suitable hypotheses, such subgroups are $G$-irreducible in…

For a semisimple Lie group $G$, we study Discrete Series representations with admissible branching to a symmetric subgroup $H$. This is done using a canonical associated symmetric subgroup $H_0$, forming a pseudo-dual pair with $H$, and a…

Suppose G is a real reductive Lie group in Harish-Chandra's class. We propose here a structure for the set \Pi_u(G) of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of G. (The subscript u will be used throughout to indicate…

We derive the canonical forms of super Riemannian metrics and the local isometry groups of such metrics. For certain super metrics we also compute the simply connected covering groups of the local isometry groups and interpret these as…

Let d \subset d' be finite-dimensional Lie algebras, H = U(d), H'=U(d') the corresponding universal enveloping algebras endowed with the cocommutative Hopf algebra structure. We show that if L is a primitive Lie pseudoalgebra over H then…

For $ k \in \mathbb{N}$ we introduce an idempotent subalgebra, the spherical partition algebra ${\mathcal{SP} }_{k}$, of the partition algebra ${\mathcal{P} }_{k}$, that we define using an embedding associated with the trivial…

We study embeddings of groups of Lie type $H$ in characteristic $p$ into exceptional algebraic groups $\mathbf G$ of the same characteristic. We exclude the case where $H$ is of type $\mathrm{PSL}_2$. A subgroup of $\mathbf G$ is \emph{Lie…

Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a real closed field and $\mathrm{C}$ the algebraic closure of $\mathrm{R}$. We give an algorithm for computing a semi-algebraic basis for the first homology group, $\mathrm{H}_1(S,\mathbb{F})$, with coefficients in a…

Let F be the flag variety of a complex semi-simple group G, let H be an algebraic subgroup of G acting on F with finitely many orbits, and let V be an H-orbit closure in F. Expanding the cohomology class of V in the basis of Schubert…

In this paper, we develop a new and efficient approach to the computation of envelope surfaces. We interpret one-parameter systems of surfaces as curves in the homogeneous spaces of suitable Lie groups. Using the formalism of Lie groups and…

We introduce the notion of a subregular subalgebra, which we believe is useful for classification of subalgebras of Lie algebras. We use it to construct a non-regular invariant generalized complex structure on a Lie group. As an…

This is a survey on spherical Hopf algebras. We give criteria to decide when a Hopf algebra is spherical and collect examples. We discuss tilting modules as a mean to obtain a fusion subcategory of the non-degenerate quotient of the…

Let $G$ be an algebraic real reductive group and $Z$ a real spherical $G$-variety, that is, it admits an open orbit for a minimal parabolic subgroup $P$. We prove a local structure theorem for $Z$. In the simplest case where $Z$ is…

We compute explicitly the group of connected components $\pi_0G(\mathbb{R})$ of the real Lie group $G(\mathbb{R})$ for an arbitrary (not necessarily linear) connected algebraic group $G$ defined over the field $\mathbb{R}$ of real numbers.…

Using reduction of spherical functions, we obtain generators of the algebra and the field of invariants for the coadjoint representation of Borel and maximal nilpotent subalgebras of simple Lie algebras.

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \ge 0$. A closed subgroup $H$ of $G$ is called $G$-completely reducible ($G$-cr) if whenever $H$ is contained in a parabolic…
