We realize all irreducible unitary representations of the group $\mathrm{SO}_0(n+1,1)$ on explicit Hilbert spaces of vector-valued $L^2$-functions on $\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}$. The key ingredient in our construction is an explicit…
Exceptional groups of type $E_6$ contain dual pairs where one member is $\mathrm{Spin}(8)$, and the other is $T\rtimes \mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$, where $T$ is a two-dimensional torus and the non-trivial element in $\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$ acts on…
We prove the existence and uniqueness of a new maximal subgroup of the algebraic group of type $E_8$ in characteristic $3$. This has type $F_4$, and was missing from previous lists of maximal subgroups produced by Seitz and Liebeck--Seitz.…
For the group O(p,q) we give a new construction of its minimal unitary representation via Euclidean Fourier analysis. This is an extension of the q = 2 case, where the representation is the mass zero, spin zero representation realized in a…
In this paper we review and streamline some results of Kirillov, Olshanski and Pickrell on unitary representations of the unitary group $\U(\cH)$ of a real, complex or quaternionic separable Hilbert space and the subgroup $\U_\infty(\cH)$,…
A minimal system of homogeneous generating elements of the algebra of covariants for the binary form of degree 8 is calculated.
We give a construction that takes a simple linear algebraic group $G$ over a field and produces a commutative, unital, and simple non-associative algebra $A$ over that field. Two attractions of this construction are that (1) when $G$ has…
We study the minimal unitary representation (minrep) of SO(4,2) over an Hilbert space of functions of three variables, obtained by quantizing its quasiconformal action on a five dimensional space. The minrep of SO(4,2), which coincides with…
In the present paper we continue the project of systematic construction of invariant differential operators on the example of the non-compact algebras $su(n,n)$. Earlier were given the main multiplets of indecomposable elementary…
We study the minimal unitary representations of non-compact groups and supergroups obtained by quantization of their geometric realizations as quasi-conformal groups and supergroups. The quasi-conformal groups G leave generalized…
We employ Mathematica to find $Z_N$-invariant subgroups of $E_8$ for application in M-theory. These $Z_N$-invariant subgroups are phenomenologically important and in some cases they resemble the gauge groups of our real world. We present a…
Hilbert--Lie groups are Lie groups whose Lie algebra is a real Hilbert space whose scalar product is invariant under the adjoint action. These infinite-dimensional Lie groups are the closest relatives to compact Lie groups. Here we study…
This paper studies the minimal length representation of the natural numbers. Let O be a fixed set of integer-valued functions (primarily hyperoperations). For each n, what is the shortest way of expressing n as a combinations of functions…
The maximal finite abelian subgroups, up to conjugation, of the simple algebraic group of type E8 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 are computed. This is equivalent to the determination of the fine gradings on the…
We give tables of noncompact real forms of maximal reductive subalgebras of complex simple Lie algebras of rank up to 8. These were obtained by computational methods that we briefly describe. We also discuss applications in theoretical…
We present a nonlinear realization of E_8 on a space of 57 dimensions, which is quasiconformal in the sense that it leaves invariant a suitably defined ``light cone'' in 57 dimensions. This realization, which is related to the Freudenthal…
Starting from basic identities of the group E8, we perform progressive reductions, namely decompositions with respect to the maximal and symmetric embeddings of E7xSU(2) and then of E6xU(1). This procedure provides a systematic approach to…
We classify the simple modules of the exceptional algebraic supergroups over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic.
It is shown, for any irreducible representation of $E_8$ Lie algebra, that eigenvalues of Casimir operators can be calculated in the form of invariant polinomials which are decomposed in terms of $A_8$ basis functions. The general method is…
For any unitary representation $\rho$ on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space \(V\) with differential \(d\rho : \mathfrak{g} \to \mathfrak{u}(V)\) for the Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, we consider the Hamiltonian evolution \[ U_X(t) \coloneqq…
