Consider the Deligne-Simpson problem: {\em give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $C_j\subset GL(n,{\bf C})$ (resp. $c_j\subset gl(n,{\bf C})$) so that there exist irreducible $(p+1)$-tuples of…
We determine the decomposition of V_{\sqrt{2}D_l} into a sum of irreducible T-modules for general l where D_l is the root lattice of type D_l and T is the tensor product of l+1 Virasoro vertex operator algebras with central charges…
Given two positive integers $n$ and $k$ and a parameter $t\in (0,1)$, we choose at random a vector subspace $V_{n}\subset \mathbb{C}^{k}\otimes\mathbb{C}^{n}$ of dimension $N\sim tnk$. We show that the set of $k$-tuples of singular values…
Recollements of derived module categories are investigated, using a new technique, ladders of recollements, which are mutation sequences. The position in the ladder is shown to control whether a recollement restricts from unbounded to…
Morphisms between tensor products of fundamental representations of the quantum group of sl(n) are described by the sl(n)-webs of Cautis-Kamnitzer-Morrison. Using these webs, we provide an explicit, root-theoretic formula for the local…
Following the general idea of Schur--Weyl scheme and using two suitable symmetric groups (instead of one), we try to make more explicit the classical problem of decomposing tensor representations of finite and infinite symmetric groups into…
The purpose of this paper is to give an explicit description of the irreducible decomposition of the multigraded S_n-module of coinvariants of S_n x S_n. Many of the results presented can be extended to analogous questions for other finite…
We recall the structure of the indecomposable sl(2) modules in the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand category O. We show that all these modules can arise as quantized phase spaces of physical models. In particular, we demonstrate in a path integral…
The group algebras $kQ_{2^n}$ of the generalized quaternion groups $Q_{2^n}$ over fields $k$ which contain $\mathbb{F}_{2^{n-2}}$, are deformed to separable $k((t))$-algebras $[kQ_{2^n}]_t$. The dimensions of the simple components of…
Let $\frak{g} = \frak{k} +\frak{p}$ be a complexified Cartan decomposition of a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\frak{g}$ and let $K$ be the subgroup of the adjoint group of $\frak{g}$ corresponding to $\frak{k} $. If $H$ is an irreducible…
A real symmetric tensor is orthogonally decomposable (or odeco) if it can be written as a linear combination of symmetric powers of $n$ vectors which form an orthonormal basis of $\mathbb R^n$. Motivated by the spectral theorem for real…
We study the category M consisting of U(sl_{n+1})-modules whose restriction to U(h) is free of rank 1, in particular we classify isomorphism classes of objects in M and determine their submodule structure. This leads to new…
We determine the order of magnitude of H^{(k+1)}(x,\vec{y},2\vec{y}), the number of integers up to x that are divisible by a product d_1...d_k with y_i<d_i\le 2y_i, when the numbers \log y_1,...,\log y_k have the same order of magnitude and…
We describe the image of the canonical tensor functor from Deligne's interpolating category $Rep(GL_{m-n})$ to $Rep(GL(m|n))$ attached to the standard representation. This implies explicit tensor product decompositions between any two…
For each positive integer $n$, the basic classical complex Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ has a unique equivalence class of infinite-dimensional completely-pointed modules, those weight modules with one-dimensional weight spaces.…
We study the classical limit of a family of irreducible representations of the quantum affine algebra associated to $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$. After a suitable twist, the limit is a module for $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}[t]$, i.e., for the maximal…
Basic modules of McLain groups $M=M(\Lambda,\leq, R)$ are defined and investigated. These are (possibly infinite dimensional) analogues of Andr\'e's supercharacters of $U_n(q)$. The ring $R$ need not be finite or commutative and the field…
We consider the Plancherel measure on irreducible components of tensor powers of the spinor representation of so(2n+1). The irreducible representations correspond to the generalized Young diagrams. With respect to this measure the…
In this paper an extended CPR decomposition theorem for Finsler symmetric spaces of semi-negative curvature in the context of reductive structures is proven. This decomposition theorem is applied to give a geometric description of the…
We introduce an associative algebra $\M_k(x)$ whose dimension is the $2k$-th Motzkin number. The algebra $\M_k(x)$ has a basis of "Motzkin diagrams," which are analogous to Brauer and Temperley-Lieb diagrams, and it contains the…
