The structure of Hamiltonian reductions of the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) theory by first class Kac-Moody constraints is analyzed in detail. Lie algebraic conditions are given for ensuring the presence of exact integrability,…
The relationship between the quasi-exactly solvable problems and W-algebras is revealed. This relationship enabled one to formulate a new general method for building multi-dimensional and multi-channel exactly and quasi-exactly solvable…
There is a constrained-WZNW--Toda theory for any simple Lie algebra equipped with an integral gradation. It is explained how the different approaches to these dynamical systems are related by gauge transformations. Combining Gauss…
We define $(k,\ell)$-restricted Lukasiewicz paths, $k\le\ell\in\mathbb{N}_0$, and use these paths as models of polymer adsorption. We write down a polynomial expression satisfied by the generating function for arbitrary values of…
Kontsevitch's work on Airy matrix integrals has led to explicit results for the intersection numbers of the moduli space of curves. In a subsequent work Okounkov rederived these results from the edge behavior of a Gaussian matrix integral.…
We study the representation theory of finite W-algebras. After introducing parabolic subalgebras to describe the structure of W-algebras, we define the Verma modules and give a conjecture for the Kac determinant. This allows us to find the…
Based on a variant of the Kontsevich $1\frac{1}{2}$-logarithm function, we construct a regulator in characteristic $p.$ This also leads to an infinitesimal invariant of certain cycles in characteristic $p.$
We study how often exceptional configurations of irreducible polynomials over finite fields occur in the context of prime number races and Chebyshev's bias. In particular, we show that three types of biases, which we call "complete bias",…
We consider polynomial equations, or systems of polynomial equations, with integer coefficients, modulo prime numbers $p$. We offer an elementary approach based on a counting method. The outcome is a weak form of the Lang-Weil lower bound…
Let W be a Coxeter group and L be a weight function on W. Following Lusztig, we have a corresponding decomposition of W into left cells, which have important applications in representation theory. We study the case where $W$ is an affine…
A convex-polynomial is a convex combination of the monomials $\{1, x, x^2, \ldots\}$. This paper establishes that the convex-polynomials on $\mathbb R$ are dense in $L^p(\mu)$ and weak$^*$ dense in $L^\infty(\mu)$, precisely when…
After some definitions, we review in the first part of this talk the construction and classification of classical $W$ (super)algebras symmetries of Toda theories. The second part deals with more recently obtained properties. At first, we…
Let $\mathbb K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ be a module over the polynomial ring $\mathbb K[x,y]$. The actions of $x$ and $y$ determine linear operators $P$ and $Q$ on $V$ as a vector space over $\mathbb…
We introduce and study symmetric polynomials, which as very special cases include polynomials related to the supersymmetric eight-vertex model, and other elliptic lattice models with $\Delta=\pm 1/2$. There is also a close relation to…
The top Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_+(A, p)$ of a random product of matrices in $\mathrm{GL}(d, \mathbb{R})$, $d \geq 2$, with simple top spectrum, depends real-analytically on the probability weights $p$ and the matrix coefficients $A$. We…
Factoring out the spin $1$ subalgebra of a $ W $ algebra leads to a new $ W $ structure which can be seen either as a rational finitely generated $ W $ algebra or as a polynomial non-linear $ W_\infty$ realization.
We draw a new connection between Coppersmith's method for finding small solutions to polynomial congruences modulo integers and the capacity theory of adelic subsets of algebraic curves. Coppersmith's method uses lattice basis reduction to…
We study the representations of the W-algebra W(g) associated to an arbitrary finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra g via the quantized Drinfeld-Sokolov reductions. The characters of irreducible representations with non-degenerate highest…
Many psychological theories can be operationalized as linear inequality constraints on the parameters of multinomial distributions (e.g., discrete choice analysis). These constraints can be described in two equivalent ways: Either as the…
A Lie polynomial is an element of a free Lie algebra $\mathcal F_k$ on $k$-generators, which defines a Lie map on a given Lie algebra $L$, by substituting $k$-elements of $L$. Similar to word maps on groups and polynomial maps on algebras,…
