A recent theorem of [GGSM1] showed that adjoint orbits of semisimple Lie algebras have the structure of symplectic Lefschetz fibrations. We investigate the behaviour of their fibrewise compactifications. Expressing adjoint orbits and fibres…
We consider a class of homogeneous manifolds including all semisimple coadjoint orbits. We describe manifolds of that class admitting deformation q uantizations equivariant under the action of $G$ and the corresponding quantum group. We…
We study the topology of compact manifolds with a Lie group action for which there are only finitely many non-principal orbits, and describe the possible orbit spaces which can occur. If some non-principal orbit is singular, we show that…
We consider an intermediate category between the category of finite quivers and a certain category of pseudocompact associative algebras whose objects include all pointed finite dimensional algebras. We define the completed path algebra and…
It is well known that the cup-product pairing on the complementary integral cohomology groups (modulo torsion) of a compact oriented manifold is unimodular. We prove a similar result for the $\ell$-adic cohomology groups of smooth algebraic…
Quiver varieties have recently appeared in various different areas of Mathematics such as representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras and quantum groups, instantons on 4-manifolds, and resolutions Kleinian singularities. In this paper, we…
Algebraic and analytic aspects of self-adjoint operators of order four or more with polynomial coefficients are investigated. As a consequence, a systematic way of constructing such operators is given. The procedure is applied to obtain…
We introduce a class of rings, namely the class of left or right $p$-nil rings, for which the adjoint groups behave regularly. Every $p$-ring is close to being left or right $p$-nil in the sense that it contains a large ideal belonging to…
It is widely understood that the quotient space of a topological group action can have a complicated combinatorial structure, indexed somehow by the sotropy groups of the action, but how best to record this structure seems unclear. This…
We classify generic coadjoint orbits for symplectomorphism groups of compact symplectic surfaces with or without boundary. We also classify simple Morse functions on such surfaces up to a symplectomorphism.
The coadjoint orbit action for a multifermion system, as an exact description of its dynamics, is considered. A parametrization of the variables involved is given which facilitates the approximation of this by another coadjoint orbit action…
Given a Hilbert module E over a C*-algebra A, we show that the collection of all bounded A-module operators acting on E forms the reflexive closure for the algebra of the adjointable operators. We also make an observation regarding the…
We study actions of Lie supergroups, in particular, the hitherto elusive notion of orbits through odd (or more general) points. Following categorical principles, we derive a conceptual framework for their treatment and therein prove general…
Kirillov's orbit theory provides a powerful tool for the investigation of irreducible unitary representations of many classes of Lie groups. In a previous paper we used a modification hereof, called monomial linearisation, to construct a…
The Adler Kostant Symes [A-K-S] scheme is used to describe mechanical systems for quadratic Hamiltonians of $\mathbb R^{2n}$ on coadjoint orbits of the Heisenberg Lie group. The coadjoint orbits are realized in a solvable Lie algebra…
We prove that the simple root functors E and F appearing in the categorification of irreducible highest weight modules of quantum groups via cyclotomic Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras is a biadjoint pair.
Let $\mathfrak g$ be a classical simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero or large enough, and let $\mathfrak n$ be a maximal nilpotent subalgebra of $\mathfrak g$. The main tool in…
There are many contexts in algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, and homological algebra where one encounters a functor that has both a left and right adjoint, with the right adjoint being isomorphic to a shift of the left adjoint…
The coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups carry many K\"ahler structures, which include a Riemannian metric and a complex structure. We provide a fairly explicit formula for the Levi-Civita connection of the Riemannian metric, and we use…
We describe the ringed-space structure of moduli spaces of jets of linear connections (at a point) as orbit spaces of certain linear representations of the general linear group. Then, we use this fact to prove that the only (scalar)…
