We prove that for every reductive algebraic group $H$ with centre of positive dimension and every integer $K$ there is a smooth and projective variety $X$ and an algebraic $H$-torsor $P \to X$ such that the classifying map $X \to \Bclass H$…

We classify connected Lie groups which are locally isomorphic to generalized Heisenberg groups. For a given generalized Heisenberg group $N$, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of isomorphism classes of connected Lie…

Consider a Hilbert space obtained as the completion of the polynomials C[z} in m-variables for which the mnonomials are orthogonal. If the commuting weighted shifts defined by the coordinate functions are essentially normal, then the same…

This paper reframes Riemannian geometry as a generalized Lie algebra allowing the equations of both RG and then General Relativity to be expressed as commutation relations among fundamental operators. We begin with an Abelian Lie algebra of…

Different finite difference replacements for the derivative are analyzed in the context of the Heisenberg commutation relation. The type of the finite difference operator is shown to be tied to whether one can naturally consider $P$ and $X$…

Jurij Vol\v{c}i\v{c} conjectured that a noncommutative polynomial $g$ belongs to the unital $\mathbb{K}$-algebra generated by finitely many noncommutative polynomials if and only if, for matrices of every size, every joint invariant…

We define a class of Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian 2-step nilpotent Lie groups with nondegenerate centers that generalize the H-type groups of Kaplan. Examples are given and geometric properties are investigated.

We develop a general theory for irreducible homogeneous spaces $M= G/H$, in relation to the nullity $\nu$ of their curvature tensor. We construct natural invariant (different and increasing) distributions associated with the nullity, that…

The relationship between associative composition algebras of dimensions 2 and 4 within the context of homogeneous spaces, with a particular focus on Hamiltonian quaternions, is explored. In the special case of Hamiltonian quaternions, the…

We consider the following class of unitary representations $\pi $ of some (real) Lie group $G$ which has a matched pair of symmetries described as follows: (i) Suppose $G$ has a period-2 automorphism $\tau $, and that the Hilbert space…

The note identifies which which couniversal spaces have suspension spectra equivalent to commutative orthogonal ring G-spectra for a compact Lie group G. These are precisely those whose cofamily is closed under passage to finite index…

We show that the algebra of commuting Hamiltonians of the homogeneous XXX Heisenberg model has simple spectrum on the subspace of singular vectors of the tensor product of two-dimensional $gl_2$-modules. As a byproduct we show that there…

Let $K$ be an infinite field and $K< X> =K< X_1,...,X_n>$ the free associative algebra generated by $X=\{X_1,...,X_n\}$ over $K$. It is proved that if $I$ is a two-sided ideal of $K< X>$ such that the $K$-algebra $A=K< X> /I$ is almost…

Let $X$ be a rational homogeneous space and let $QH^*(X)_{loc}^\times$ be the group of invertible elements in the small quantum cohomology ring of $X$ localised in the quantum parameters. We generalise results of arXiv:math/0609796 and…

Bicommutant categories are higher categorical analogs of von Neumann algebras that were recently introduced by the first author. In this article, we prove that every unitary fusion category gives an example of a bicommutant category. This…

We investigate homogeneous geodesics in a class of homogeneous spaces called $M$-spaces, which are defined as follows. Let $G/K$ be a generalized flag manifold with $K=C(S)=S\times K_1$, where $S$ is a torus in a compact simple Lie group…

The structure of subspaces of a Hilbert space that are invariant under unitary representations of a discrete group is related to a notion of Hilbert modules endowed with inner products taking values in spaces of unbounded operators. A…

Let G be a complex semisimple Lie group and H a complex closed connected subgroup. Let g and h be their Lie algebras. We prove that the regular representation of G in $L^2(G/H)$ is tempered if and only if the orthogonal of h in g contains…

The description of the Paley-Wiener space for compactly supported smooth functions $C^\infty_c(G)$ on a semi-simple Lie group $G$ involves certain intertwining conditions that are difficult to handle. In the present paper, we make them…

Let G be a connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p (possibly 0), and X a variety on which G acts transitively with connected stabilizers. We show that any \'etale Galois cover of X of degree prime to…
