Consider a group acting on a polynomial ring S over a field K by degree-preserving K-algebra automorphisms. Several key properties of the invariant ring can be deduced by studying the nullcone of the action, that is, the vanishing locus of…

Let $G$ be a group and $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$. There exists the group extension $G$ of $G/N$ by $N$. For a $G$-module $A$ which $N$ acts on trivially and a $G$-invariant homomorphism on $N$ to $A$, we obtain a central extension of…

Let M be a rank 1 affine invariant orbifold in a stratum of the moduli space of flat surfaces. We show that the leaves of the M-isoperiodic foliation are either all closed or all dense. In the second case, we establish ergodicity of the…

A surface in a three-dimensional metric Lie group $G$ is said invariant if it is invariant with respect to a one-dimensional subgroup $\Gamma$ of the isometry group of $G$. Is this work we focus on unimodular metric Lie groups $G$ that can…

If an $m+2$-manifold $M$ is locally modeled on $\RR^{m+2}$ with coordinate changes lying in the subgroup $G=\RR^{m+2}\rtimes ({\rO}(m+1,1)\times \RR^+)$ of the affine group ${\rA}(m+2)$, then $M$ is said to be a \emph{Lorentzian similarity…

For a semisimple real Lie group $G$ with an irreducible representation $\rho$ on a finite-dimensional real vector space $V$, we give a sufficient criterion on $\rho$ for existence of a group of affine transformations of $V$ whose linear…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $P \to M$ a smooth principal $G$-bundle. Let a `cylinder function' on the space $\A$ of smooth connections on $P$ be a continuous function of the holonomies of $A$ along finitely many piecewise…

We show that, for a sheet or a Lusztig stratum S containing spherical conjugacy classes in a connected reductive algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field in good characteristic, the orbit space S/G is isomorphic to the quotient…

Let $G= GL_n(\mathbb{C})$, the general linear group over the complex numbers, and let $B$ be the set of invertible upper triangular matrices in $G$. Let $\mathfrak{b}=\text{Lie}(B)$. For $\mu:T^*(\mathfrak{b}\times \mathbb{C}^n)\rightarrow…

In [DM] it was asked whether all flat holomorphic Cartan geometries (G,H) on a complex torus are translation invariant. We answer this affimatively under the assumption that the complex Lie group G is affine. More precisely, we show that…

For a second countable locally compact group $G$ and a closed abelian subgroup $H$, we give a range function classification of closed subspaces in $L^2(G)$ invariant under left translation by $H$. For a family $\mathscr{A} \subset L^2(G)$,…

The object of this paper is to study GL(2,R) orbit closures in hyperelliptic components of strata of abelian differentials. The main result is that all higher rank affine invariant submanifolds in hyperelliptic components are branched…

Let $X$ and $G$ be compact Lie groups, $F_1:X\to X$ the time-one map of a $C^\infty$ measure-preserving flow, $\phi:X\to G$ a continuous function and $\pi$ a finite-dimensional irreducible unitary representation of $G$. Then, we prove that…

An irreducible representation of the free group on two generators X,Y into SL(2,C) is determined up to conjugation by the traces of X,Y and XY. We study the diagonal slice of representations for which X,Y and XY have equal trace. Using the…

We consider conformal actions of simple Lie groups on compact Lorentzian manifolds. Mainly motivated by the Lorentzian version of a conjecture of Lichnerowicz, we establish the alternative: Either the group acts isometrically for some…

We consider actions of non-compact simple Lie groups preserving an analytic rigid geometric structure of algebraic type on a compact manifold. The structure is not assumed to be unimodular, so an invariant measure may not exist. Ergodic…

In commutative invariant theory, a classical result due to Auslander says that if $R = \Bbbk[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ and $G$ is a finite subgroup of $\text{Aut}_{\text{gr}}(R) \cong \text{GL}(n,\Bbbk)$ which contains no reflections, then there is…

An element $g$ in a group $G$ is called reversible if $g$ is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ in $ G $. An element $g$ in $G$ is strongly reversible if $ g $ is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ by an involution in $G$. The group of affine transformations of…

We prove an algebraic decomposition theorem for the unit group $\mathrm{GL}(R)$ of an arbitrary non-discrete irreducible, continuous ring $R$ (in von Neumann's sense), which entails that every element of $\mathrm{GL}(R)$ is both a product…

We analyze the question of $U_{\star} (1)$ gauge invariance in a flat non-commutative space where the parameter of non-commutativity, $\theta^{\mu\nu} (x)$, is a local function satisfying Jacobi identity (and thereby leading to an…
