We show that the mirabolic quantum group $MU(n)$ is a comodule algebra over the quantized enveloping algebra $U_v(\mathfrak{sl}_n)$, and use this structure to give a complete classification of its finite dimensional representations. In…
We recover the holomorphic discrete series representations of $SU(1,n)$ as well as some unitary irreducible representations of $SU(n+1)$ by deformation of a minimal realization of $sl(n+1, {\mathbb C})$.
We study a problem concerning parabolic induction in certain $p$-adic unitary groups. More precisely, for $E/F$ a quadratic extension of $p$-adic fields the associated unitary group $G=\mathrm{U}(n,n+1)$ contains a parabolic subgroup $P$…
We study the units in a tensor product of rings. For example, let k be an algebraically closed field. Let A and B be reduced rings containing k, having connected spectra. Let u \in A tensor_k B be a unit. Then u = a tensor_k b for some…
Let $A$ be a matrix with nonnegative real entries. A nonnegative factorization of size $k$ is a representation of $A$ as a sum of $k$ nonnegative rank-one matrices. The space of all such factorizations is a bounded semialgebraic set, and we…
We demonstrate the existence of minimal simplicial $n$-complexes which inevitably contain a nonsplittable two-component link formed by an $(n-1)$-sphere and an $n$-sphere in any embedding into $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. This provides a…
This is a tutorial introduction to the representation theory of SU(2) with emphasis on the occurrence of Jacobi polynomials in the matrix elements of the irreducible representations. The last section traces the history of the insight that…
We prove that the tensor product of a simple and a finite dimensional $\mathfrak{sl}_n$-module has finite type socle. This is applied to reduce classification of simple $\mathfrak{q}(n)$-supermodules to that of simple…
Fix an integral Soddy sphere packing P. Let K be the set of all curvatures in P. A number n is called represented if n is in K, that is, if there is a sphere in P with curvature equal to n. A number n is called admissible if it is…
Let \lambda be a partition of a positive integer n. Let C be a symmetric rigid tensor category over a field k of characteristic 0 or char(k)>n, and let V be an object of C. In our main result (Theorem 4.3) we introduce a finite set of…
If $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{g}_{\overline{0}} \oplus \mathfrak{g}_{\overline{1}}$ is a Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, the notion of an endotrivial module has recently been extended to…
We generalize a classical theorem of Besicovitch, showing that, for any positive integers $k<n$, if $E\subset \mathbb R^n$ is a Souslin set which is not $\mathcal{H}^k$-$\sigma$-finite, then $E$ contains a purely unrectifiable closed set…
We define, for each subset $S$ of primes, an $S_n$-module $Lie_n^S$ with interesting properties. When $S=\emptyset,$ this is the well-known representation $Lie_n$ of $S_n$ afforded by the free Lie algebra. The most intriguing case is…
We prove that some relative character varieties of the fundamental group of a punctured sphere into the Hermitian Lie groups $\mathrm{SU}(p,q)$ admit compact connected components. The representations in these components have several…

In this paper we characterize irreducible generic representations of $\SO_{2n+1}(k)$ where $k$ is a $p$-adic field) by means of twisted local gamma factors (the Local Converse Theorem). As applications, we prove that two irreducible generic…
The real cohomology of the space of imbeddings of S^1 into R^n, n>3, is studied by using configuration space integrals. Nontrivial classes are explicitly constructed. As a by-product, we prove the nontriviality of certain cycles of…
Let $G$ be a connected semisimple Lie group with a finite center, with a maximal compact subgroup $K$. There are two general methods to construct representations of $G$, namely, ordinary parabolic induction and cohomological parabolic…
