For $G$ a connected, reductive group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of large characteristic, we use the canonical Springer isomorphism between the nilpotent variety of $\mathfrak{g}:=\mathrm{Lie}(G)$ and the unipotent variety of $G$…
For certain nilpotent real Lie groups constructed as semidirect products, algebras of invariant differential operators on some coadjoint orbits are used in the study of boundedness properties of the Weyl-Pedersen calculus of their…
The goal of this paper is to construct a calculus whose higher indices are naturally elements in the twisted K-theory groups for Lie groupoids. Given a Lie groupoid $G$ and a $PU(H)$-valued groupoid cocycle, we construct an algebra of…
This is an expository article. It discusses an approach to hypoelliptic Fredholm index theory based on noncommutative methods (groupoids, C*-algebras, K-theory). The paper starts with an explicit index theorem for scalar second order…
Let $E\to B$ be a smooth vector bundle of rank $n$, and let $P \in I^p(GL(n,\mathbb{R}))$ be a $GL(n,\mathbb{R})$-invariant polynomial of degree $p$ compatible with a universal integral characteristic class $ u \in…
Given a Lie group $G$ of quantized canonical transformations acting on the space $L^2(M)$ over a closed manifold $M$, we define an algebra of so-called $G$-operators on $L^2(M)$. We show that to $G$-operators we can associate symbols in…
These notes form the next episode in a series of articles dedicated to a detailed proof of a cohomological index formula for transversally elliptic pseudo-differential operators and applications. The first two chapters are already available…
Let $k$ be a field, let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $k$, and let $V$ be a linear representation of $G$. Geometric invariant theory involves the study of the $k$-algebra of $G$-invariant polynomials on $V$, and the relation…
Derivatives and integration operators are well-studied examples of linear operators that commute with scaling up to a fixed multiplicative factor; i.e., they are scale-invariant. Fractional order derivatives (integration operators) also…
We consider a smooth compact manifold with boundary, $M$, embedded in a smooth manifold of the same dimension on which an amenable group $\Gamma$ acts by isometries. We do not assume $M$ to be invariant under $\Gamma$. This results in a…
We introduce the $\star_G$ tensor algebra, in which any finite group $G$ defines the multiplication rule, making equivariance an intrinsic algebraic property rather than an architectural constraint. The framework rests on three…
We consider a family of skew-products of the form $(Tx, g_x(t)) : X \times \mathbb{R} \to X \times \mathbb{R}$ where $T$ is a continuous expanding Markov map and $g_x : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a family of homeomorphisms of…
We study the parametrized Hamiltonian action functional for finite-dimensional families of Hamiltonians. We show that the linearized operator for the $L^2$-gradient lines is Fredholm and surjective, for a generic choice of Hamiltonian and…
A unitary representation of a, possibly infinite dimensional, Lie group G is called semi-bounded if the corresponding operators id\pi(x) from the derived representations are uniformly bounded from above on some non-empty open subset of the…
Let $T$ be a locally finite tree all of whose vertices have valency at least $6$. We classify, up to isomorphism, the closed subgroups of $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ acting $2$-transitively on the set of ends of $T$ and whose local action at each…
Gauge-invariant operators can be specified by equivalence classes of permutations. We develop this idea concretely for the singlets of the flavour group $SO(N_f)$ in $U(N_c)$ gauge theory by using Gelfand pairs and Schur-Weyl duality. The…
Equivariant versions of the radial index and of the GSV-index of a vector field or a 1-form on a singular variety with an action of a finite group are defined. They have values in the Burnside ring of the group. Poincar\'e-Hopf type…
The enumeration of independent sets of regular graphs is of interest in statistical mechanics, as it corresponds to the solution of hard-particle models. In 2004, it was conjectured by Fendleyet al. that for some rectangular grids, with…
Let E be an operator algebra on a Hilbert space with finite-dimensional generated C*-algebra. A classification is given of the locally finite algebras and the operator algebras obtained as limits of direct sums of matrix algebras over E…
In this memoir we extend the theory of global pseudo-differential operators to the setting of arbitrary sub-Riemannian structures on a compact Lie group. More precisely, given a compact Lie group $G$, and the sub-Laplacian $\mathcal{L}$…
