Let g be the Lie algebra of a connected reductive group G over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0. Let $Z$ be the centre of the universal enveloping algebra U=U(g) of g. Its maximal spectrum is called the Zassenhaus…

We show rigidity results for the operator equations T(f.g) = Tf.Tg, T(f*g) = Tf.Tg and T(f.g) = Tf*Tg for bijective operators T acting on sufficently large spaces of smooth functions. Typically a condition like |T(f.g) - Tf.Tg| < a for all…

We explain the exact meaning of a statement we made in a previous paper on invariants, namely that a complex-valued function of the data of the functional equation of an $L$-function is an invariant if and only if it is stable under the…

We prove a generalization to the totally real field case of the Waldspurger's formula relating the Fourier coefficient of a half integral weight form and the central value of the L-function of an integral weight form. Our proof is based on…

We consider a proper parabolic subalgebra p of a simple Lie algebra g and the Inonu-Wigner contraction of p with respect to its decomposition into its standard Levi factor and its nilpotent radical : this is the Lie algebra which is…

We establish Connes's local trace formula (related to the explicit formulae of number theory) for the quaternions. This is done as an application of a study of the central operator H = log(|x|) + log(|y|) in the context of invariant…

In this paper, we consider the relation between two nonabelian Fourier transforms. The first one is defined in terms of the Langlands-Kazhdan-Lusztig parameters for unipotent elliptic representations of a split p-adic group and the second…

We study multivariate entire functions and polynomials with non-negative coefficients. A class of {\bf Strongly Log-Concave} entire functions, generalizing {\it Minkowski} volume polynomials, is introduced: an entire function $f$ in $m$…

Let F be a genus two Siegel newform and g a classical newform, both of squarefree levels and of equal weight l. We prove a pullback formula for certain Eisenstein series -- thus generalizing a construction of Shimura -- and use this to…

We show that any semi-direct sum $L$ of Lie algebras with Levi factor $S$ must be perfect if the representation associated with it does not possess a copy of the trivial representation. As a consequence, all invariant functions of $L$ must…

A nilpotent Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ is said to be naturally graded if it is isomorphic to its associated graded Lie algebra ${\rm gr} \mathfrak{g}$ with respect to filtration by ideals of the lower central series. This concept is…

The standard twist $F(s,\alpha)$ of $L$-functions $F(s)$ in the Selberg class has several interesting properties and plays a central role in the Selberg class theory. It is therefore natural to study its finer analytic properties, for…

We prove sharp stability estimates for the Truncated Laplace Transform and Truncated Fourier Transform. The argument combines an approach recently introduced by Alaifari, Pierce and the second author for the truncated Hilbert transform with…

A famous conjecture of Keating and Snaith asserts that central values of $L$-functions in a given family admit a log-normal distribution with a prescribed mean and variance depending on the symmetry type of the family. Based on a recent…

We define a Fourier transform and a convolution product for functions and distributions on Heisenberg--Clifford Lie supergroups. The Fourier transform exchanges the convolution and a pointwise product, and is an intertwining operator for…

Given a finite dimensional representation of a semisimple Lie algebra there are two ways of constructing link invariants: 1) quantum group invariants using the R-matrix, 2) the Kontsevich universal link invariant followed by the Lie algebra…

We consider actions of non-compact simple Lie groups preserving an analytic rigid geometric structure of algebraic type on a compact manifold. The structure is not assumed to be unimodular, so an invariant measure may not exist. Ergodic…

Lusztig \cite{L5,L6} gave a parametrization for $\rm{Irr}(G^F)$, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with Frobenius map $F$. This parametrization is known as Lusztig's Jordan decomposition or Lusztig…

Let $V$ be a two-dimensional vector space over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. We show there is a canonical surjection $\nu$ from the set of suitably generic commutative algebra structures on $V$ modulo the action of…

Lusztig varieties are subvarieties in flag manifolds $G/B$ associated to an element $w$ in the Weyl group $W$ and an element $x$ in $G$, introduced in Lusztig's papers on character sheaves. We study the geometry of these varieties when $x$…
