As a sequel to our proof of the analog of Serre's conjecture for function fields in Part I of this work, we study in this paper the deformation rings of $n$-dimensional mod $\ell$ representations $\rho$ of the arithmetic fundamental group…

We study the conditions for a nilpotent Lie group to be foliated into subgroups that have square integrable (relative discrete series) unitary representations, that fit together to form a filtration by normal subgroups. Then we use that…

The set of special unipotent representations of a semisimple Lie group was defined by Barbasch and Vogan. According to predictions of Arthur (established by Adams, Barbasch, and Vogan), this set is an overlapping union of Arthur packets.…

In this paper, we present an explicit structure for the Baer invariant of a free nilpotent group (the $n$-th nilpotent product of the infinite cyclic group, $\textbf{Z}\st{n}* \textbf{Z}\st{n}*... \st{n}*\textbf{Z}$) with respect to the…

Lichtenbaum has conjectured the existence of a Grothendieck topology for an arithmetic scheme $X$ such that the Euler characteristic of the cohomology groups of the constant sheaf $\mathbb{Z}$ with compact support at infinity gives, up to…

We propose two definitions of configuration Lie groupoids and in both the cases we prove a Fadell-Neuwirth type fibration theorem for a class of Lie groupoids. We show that this is the best possible extension, in the sense that, for the…

The geometrical description of deformation quantization based on quantum duality principle makes it possible to introduce deformed Lie-Poisson structure. It serves as a natural analogue of classical Lie bialgebra for the case when the…

Let g be a simple Lie algebra, with fixed Borel subalgebra b and with Weyl group W. Expanding on previous work of Fan and Stembridge in the simply laced case, this note aims to study the fully commutative elements of W, and their…

It is well known that n x n upper-triangular real matrices with 1's on the diagonal form a nilpotent Lie group with an interesting family of non-isotropic dilations and corresponding geometry, as in [9]. Here we look at p-adic versions of…

We provide the main results of a deformation theory of smooth formal schemes. First we deal with the case of global lifting of smooth morphisms. We prove that the obstruction to the existence of a global lifting lies in a Ext^1 group. Then…

We show that nilpotent matrices that yield the Schrodinger equation from its first order form encode the fingerprints of grand unified theories. We perform a rigorous search for all such nilpotent matrices and find that the resulting…

We give an apriori description of a set of irreducible representations of a Weyl group which parametrize the nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebra of a connected reductive group in arbitrary characteristic. We also answer a question of Serre…

Consider an extension of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras $0 \to \mathfrak{h} \to \tilde{\mathfrak{g}} \to \mathfrak{g} \to 0$ (over a field $k$ of characteristic zero) corresponding to an extension of unipotent algebraic groups $1…

In this article, we develop a systematic cohomological framework for the study of the rigidity of nilpotent Lie foliations with respect to solvable deformations. We introduce the deformation complex associated to a pair of Lie algebras…

The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…

We establish new strong factorization properties for the smooth vectors of representations of exponential solvable Lie groups on Fr\'{e}chet spaces. In particular, our results improve upon the Dixmier-Malliavin factorization theorem for…

The orbital varieties are the irreducible components of the intersection between a nilpotent orbit and a Borel subalgebra of the Lie algebra of a reductive group. There is a geometric correspondence between orbital varieties and irreducible…

We show that the definition of unipotent (resp. nilpotent) pieces for classical groups given by Lusztig (resp. Lusztig and the author) coincides with the combinatorial definition using closure relations on unipotent classes (resp. nilpotent…

For the ring of differential operators on a smooth affine algebraic variety $X$ over a field of characteristic zero a finite set of algebra generators and a finite set of defining relations are found explicitly. As a consequence, a finite…

This work explores the deformation theory of algebraic structures in a very general setting. These structures include commutative, associative algebras, Lie algebras, and the infinity versions of these structures, the strongly homotopy…
