Quadratic algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras; they include the symmetry algebras of 2nd order superintegrable systems in 2 dimensions as special cases. The superintegrable systems are exactly solvable physical systems in classical…

Poisson-Lie dualising the eta deformation of the G/H symmetric space sigma model with respect to the simple Lie group G is conjectured to give an analytic continuation of the associated lambda deformed model. In this paper we investigate…

For a discrete mechanical system on a Lie group $G$ determined by a (reduced) Lagrangian $\ell$ we define a Poisson structure via the pull-back of the Lie-Poisson structure on the dual of the Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}^*$ by the…

Certain Iwahori double cosets in the loop group of a reductive group, known under the names of $P$-alcoves or $(J,w,\delta)$-alcoves, play an important role in the study of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties. For such an Iwahori double coset,…

The notion of a reduced expression for a double coset in a Coxeter group was introduced by Williamson, and recent work of Elias and Ko has made this theory more accessible and combinatorial. One result of Elias-Ko is that any coset admits a…

For a connected reductive group $G_k$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of char $\neq 2$ and a fixed point subgroup $K_k$ under an algebraic group involution, we construct a quantization and an integral model of any affine embeddings…

Based on the second author's thesis in this article we provide a uniform treatment of abstract involutions of algebraic groups and of Kac-Moody groups using twin buildings, RGD systems, and twisted involutions of Coxeter groups. Notably we…

Let $G$ be a simple real Lie group with maximal parabolic subgroup $P$ whose nilradical is abelian. Then $X=G/P$ is called a symmetric $R$-space. We study the degenerate principal series representations of $G$ on $C^\infty(X)$ in the case…

We show there is a class of symplectic Lie algebra representations over any field of characteristic not 2 or 3 that have many of the exceptional algebraic and geometric properties of both symmetric three forms in two dimensions and…

Dimensional reductions of pure Einstein gravity on cosets other than tori are inconsistent. The inclusion of specific additional scalar and p-form matter can change the situation. For example, a D-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton…

In earlier work we have shown that the moduli space $N$ of flat connections for the (trivial) $\roman{SU(2)}$-bundle on a closed surface of genus $\ell \geq 2$ inherits a structure of stratified symplectic space with two connected strata…

Let H be a closed, connected subgroup of a connected, simple Lie group G with finite center. The homogeneous space G/H has a "tessellation" if there is a discrete subgroup D of G, such that D acts properly discontinuously on G/H, and the…

Connections between set-theoretic Yang-Baxter and reflection equations and quantum integrable systems are investigated. We show that set-theoretic $R$-matrices are expressed as twists of known solutions. We then focus on reflection and…

We show that after mapping each element of a set of second class constraints to the surface of the other ones, half of them form a subset of abelian first class constraints. The explicit form of the map is obtained considering the most…

Harmonic Hilbert spaces on locally compact abelian groups are reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) of continuous functions constructed by Fourier transform of weighted $L^2$ spaces on the dual group. It is known that for suitably…

In this paper we study the scalar geometries occurring in the dimensional reduction of minimal five-dimensional supergravity to three Euclidean dimensions, and find that these depend on whether one first reduces over space or over time. In…

A strict Lie $2$-algebra $\Gamma(\wedge^\bullet A) \stackrel{T}{\rightarrow} \mathfrak{X}_{\mathrm{mult}}^\bullet(\mathcal{G})$ is associated with any Lie groupoid $\mathcal{G}$. Here, $\Gamma(\wedge^\bullet A)$ is the Schouten algebra of…

Let G be a connected real reductive Lie group acting linearly on a finite dimensional vector space V over R. This action admits a Kempf-Ness function and so we have an associated gradient map. If G is Abelian we explicitly compute the image…

In this paper we consider the problem of decomposing tensor products of certain singular unitary representations of a semisimple Lie group G. Using explicit models for these representations (constructed earlier by one of us) we show that…

Given an affine Poisson algebra, that is singular one may ask whether there is an associated symplectic form. In the smooth case the answer is obvious: for the symplectic form to exist the Poisson tensor has to be invertible. In the…
