Let $G$ be a topological group and let $K,L\subseteq G$ be closed subgroups, with $K\subseteq L$. We prove that if $L$ is a locally compact pro-Lie group, then the map $q:G/K\to G/L$ is a fibration. As an application of this, we obtain two…

We compute the trace decategorification of the Hecke category for an arbitrary Coxeter group. More generally, we introduce the notion of a strictly object-adapted cellular category and calculate the trace for such categories.

We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also…

An argument of A.Borel shows that every compact connected Lie group is homeomorphic to the Cartesian product of its derived subgroup and a torus. We prove a parallel result for definably compact definably connected groups definable in an…

We relate the Lounesto classification of regular and singular spinors to the orbits of the $Spin(3,1)$ group in the space of Dirac spinors. We find that regular spinors are associated with the principal orbits of the spin group while…

We compute the lower bound estimate for the module category weight of compact exceptional Lie groups by analyzing several Eilenberg--Moore type spectral sequences.

We derive the $s$-invariants of certain simply connected $7$-manifolds whose second homology groups are isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$. We apply the $s$-invariants to give a partial classification of simply connected total spaces of circle…

We give a new CR invariant treatment of the bigraded Rumin complex and related cohomology groups via differential forms. A key benefit is the identification of balanced $A_\infty$-structures on the Rumin and bigraded Rumin complexes. We…

Let $\gg$ be the Lie algebra of a compact Lie group and let $\theta$ be any automorphism of $\gg$. Let $\gk$ denote the fixed point subalgebra $\gg^\theta$. In this paper we present LiE programs that, for any finite dimensional complex…

The exceptional holonomy groups are G2 in 7 dimensions, and Spin(7) in 8 dimensions. Riemannian manifolds with these holonomy groups are Ricci-flat. This is a survey paper on exceptional holonomy, in two parts. Part I introduces the…

In this paper we study the subcategory of cuspidal modules of the category of weight modules over the Lie algebra sl(n+1). Our main result is a complete classification and explicit description of the indecomposable cuspidal modules.

Following analogous constructions for Lie algebras, we define Whittaker modules and Whittaker categories for finite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebras. Results include a decomposition of Whittaker categories for a Lie superalgebra…

We determine the mod $2$ cohomology over the Steenrod algebra of the classifying spaces of the free loop groups $LG$ for compact groups $G=Spin(7)$, $Spin(8)$, $Spin(9)$, and $F_4$. Then, we show that they are isomorphic as algebras over…

Let A be the classifying space of an abelian p-torsion group. We compute A-cellular approximations (in the sense of Chach\'olski and Farjoun) of classifying spaces of p-local compact groups, with special emphasis in the cases which arise…

The paper concerns the classification problem of a subclass of complex filiform Leibniz algebras in dimensions 7 and 8. This subclass arises from naturally graded filiform Lie algebras. We give a complete list of isomorphism classes of…

We give explicit formulas to compute most of the decomposition numbers of reductions modulo 2 of irreducible spin representations of symmetric groups indexed by partitions with at most 2 parts. In many of the still open cases small upper…

For split reductive algebraic groups, we determine the connected components of closed affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties of arbitrary parahoric level.

In this paper we complete the description of the $B\mathbb{Z} /p$-cellularization of the classifying spaces of all finite groups, for all primes $p$. The techniques are based in a careful analysis of the $p$-fusion structure of the groups…

This article uses Clifford algebra of definite signature to derive octonions and the Lie exceptional algebra G2 from calibrations using Pin(7). This is simpler than the usual exterior algebra derivation and uncovers a subalgebra of Spin(7)…

We calculate the rational representation-ring-graded stable stems for rank 1 groups, SU(2), SO(3), Pin (2), O(2), Spin(2) and SO(2), in the same spirit as the calculations for finite groups in arXiv:2205.02382 with J.D.Quigley. This…
