Let $\mathcal G_2$ denote the affine group $GL(2,\mathbb Z) \ltimes \mathbb Z^{2}$. For every point $x=(x_1,x_2) \in \R2$ let $\orb(x)=\{y\in\R2\mid y=\gamma(x)$ for some $\gamma \in \mathcal{G}_2 \}$. Let $G_{x}$ be the subgroup of the…
We know that any element A of the group SO(3) can be represented as A = A1 A2 A1', where A1, A1' are elements of SO1(2)={A is an element of SO(3) | Ae1=e1}, and SO2(2)={A is an element of SO(3) | Ae2=e2} . This fact is known as Euler's…
As the smallest exceptional Lie group and the automorphism group of the non-associative algebra octonions, $G_2$ is often employed for describing exotic symmetry structures. We construct $G_2$ symmetry in a self-dual Hubbard-type model with…
We present an explicit numerical method to obtain the Cartan-Khaneja-Glaser decomposition of a general element G of SU(2^N) in terms of its `Cartan' and `non-Cartan' components. This effectively factors G in terms of group elements that…
In this short letter we conclude our program, started in [J. Math. Phys. 46 (2005) 083512], of building up explicit generalized Euler angle parameterizations for all exceptional compact Lie groups. In this last step we solve the problem for…
We construct an explicit example of a generalized Lie 3-algebra from the octonions. In combination with the result of arXiv:0807.0808, this gives rise to a three-dimensional N=2 Chern-Simons-matter theory with exceptional gauge group G_2…
A torsion-free G_2 structure admitting an infinitesimal isometry is shown to give rise to a 4-manifold equipped with a complex symplectic structure and a 1-parameter family of functions and 2-forms linked by second order equations.…
Quaternionic projective plane $\mathbb{H} P^2$ is the next simplest conjugacy class of the symplectic group $SP(6)$ with pseudo-Levi stabilizer subgroup after the sphere $\mathbb{S}^4\simeq \mathbb{H} P^1$. Its quantization gives rise to a…
We establish recurrences formulas of the order of the classical groups that allow us to find a generalization of Euler's angles for classical groups and the invariant measures of these groups. We find the generating function for the SU(2)…
In this paper Gabor system of certain type based on the unitary dual of the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ is introduced and a sufficient condition is obtained for the Gabor system to be a Bessel sequence for…
G2-manifolds with a cohomogeneity-one action of a compact Lie group G are studied. For G simple, all solutions with holonomy G2 and weak holonomy G2 are classified. The holonomy G2 solutions are necessarily Ricci-flat and there is a…
We provide the geometric construction of a series of generalized Schur algebras of any type via Borel-Moore homologies and equivariant K-groups of generalized Steinberg varieties. As applications, we obtain a Schur algebra analogue of the…
In this paper we continue our program, started in [2], of building up explicit generalized Euler angle parameterizations for all exceptional compact Lie groups. Here we solve the problem for E7, by first providing explicit matrix…
In this article we present a finite generating set $G_2$ of $\mathcal{H}_2$, the genus-2 Goeritz group of $S^3$, in terms of Dehn twists about certain simple closed curves on the standard Heegaard surface. We present an algorithm that…
We use the crystallised $C^*$-algebra $C(SU_{q}(2))$ at $q=0$ to obtain a unitary that gives an approximate equivalence involving the GNS representation on the $L^{2}$ space of the Haar state of the quantum $SU(2)$ group and the direct…
A unifying overview of the ways to parameterize the linear group GL(4.C) and its subgroups is given. As parameters for this group there are taken 16 coefficients G = G(A,B,A_{k}, B_{k}, F_{kl}) in resolving matrix G in terms of 16 basic…
We describe how chiral matter charged under SU(N) and SO(2N) gauge groups arises from codimension seven singularities in compactifications of M-theory on manifolds with G(2) holonomy. The geometry of these spaces is that of a cone over a…
We present a construction of a canonical G_2 structure on the unit sphere tangent bundle S_M of any given orientable Riemannian 4-manifold M. Such structure is never geometric or 1-flat, but seems full of other possibilities. We start by…

Given two linearly independent matrices in $so(3)$, $Z_1$ and $Z_2$, every rotation matrix $X_f \in SO(3)$ can be written as the product of alternate elements from the one dimensional subgroups corresponding to $Z_1$ and $Z_2$, namely…
