Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. We prove that if $V$ and $W$ are orthogonal $G$-representations such that $V^G=W^G=\{0\}$, then a $G$-equivariant map $S(V) \to S(W)$ exists provided that $\dim V^H \leq \dim W^H$ for any closed subgroup…

Periodic and quasi-periodic orbits of the $n$-body problem are critical points of the action functional constrained to the Sobolev space of symmetric loops. Variational methods yield collisionless orbits provided the group of symmetries…

In this paper we describe the new model of the representations of the current groups with a semisimple Lie group of the rank one. In the earlier papers of 70-80-th (Araki, Gelfand-Graev-Vershik) had posed the problem about irreducible…

The classical soliton solution, quantized by means of suitable translational and rotational collective coordinates, is embedded into the one-particle irreductible representation of the Poincare group corresponding to a definite spin. It is…

The main result of this paper is a convexity theorem for momentum mappings of certain hamiltonian actions of noncompact semisimple Lie groups. The image is required to fall within a certain open subset D of the (dual of the) Lie algebra,…

A linear \'etale representation of a complex algebraic group $G$ is given by a complex algebraic $G$-module $V$ such that $G$ has a Zariski-open orbit on $V$ and $\dim G=\dim V$. A current line of research investigates which \'etale…

We achieve a group theoretical quantization of the flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model coupled to a massless scalar field adopting the improved dynamics of loop quantum cosmology. Deparemeterizing the system using the scalar field as…

We uncover novel solutions of the 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions for scalarless gauge theories with matter transforming according to higher dimensional representations of the underlying gauge group. We argue that, if the duals exist,…

Let $G$ be a real classical group (including the real metaplectic group). We consider a nilpotent adjoint orbit $\check{\mathcal O}$ of $\check G$, the Langlands dual of $G$ (or the metaplectic dual of $G$ when $G$ is a real metaplectic…

We study the cohomology ring of the Bott--Samelson variety. We compute an explicit presentation of this ring via Soergel's result, which implies that it is a purely combinatorial invariant. We use the presentation to introduce the…

{\it We first give a geometrical description of the action of the parity operator ($\hat{P}$) on non relativistic spin ${{1}\over{2}}$ Pauli spinors in terms of bundle theory. The relevant bundle, $SU(2)\odot \Z_2\to O(3)$, is a non trivial…

If a (possibly finite) compact Lie group acts effectively, locally linearly, and homologically trivially on a closed, simply-connected four-manifold with second Betti number at least three, then it must be isomorphic to a subgroup of S^1 x…

We construct a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Richardson--Gaudin models for spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}$ systems by deforming the closed integrable Hamiltonian through complex-valued transverse magnetic fields and coupling constants. By defining parity as…
