We introduce and study kernel algebras, i.e., algebras in the category of sheaves on a square of a scheme, where the latter category is equipped with a monoidal structure via a natural convolution operation. We show that many interesting…

We review some aspects of the quantum Yangians as symmetry algebras of two-dimensional quantum field theories. The plan of these notes is the following: 1 - The classical Heisenberg model: Non-Abelian symmetries; The generators of the…

In their seminal 1981 article, Sacks-Uhlenbeck famously proved the existence of non-trivial harmonic 2-spheres in every closed Riemannian manifold with non-zero second homotopy group. Their arguments heavily rely on PDE techniques. The…

We evaluate one-dimensional representations of quantum symmetric conjugacy classes of classical matrix groups along with their quantum stabilizer subgroups.

We characterise slice-regularity of functions over a real alternative *-algebra using operators that arise in Dunkl operator theory. We present a unifying perspective on hypercomplex analysis by defining a family of function spaces in the…

Harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces arise from a conformally invariant variational problem. Therefore, on one hand, they are intimately connected with moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, and on the other hand, because the conformal group is…

We study algebras and varieties where every non-trivial congruence has some class being a non-trivial subuniverse of the algebra in question. Then we focus on algebras where this non-trivial class is a unique non-singleton class of the…

We realize the relative discrete series of a weighted $L^2$-space on a bounded symmetric doamin as kernels of invariant Cauchy-Riemann operator, and thus as the spaces of nearly holomorphic functions.

For k at least 2, we exhibit complete k-curvature homogeneous neutral signature pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not locally affine homogeneous (and hence not locally homogeneous). The curvature tensor of these manifolds is modeled on…

In the present paper the algebras of functions on quantum homogeneous spaces are studied. The author introduces the algebras of kernels of intertwining integral operators and constructs quantum analogues of the Poisson and Radon transforms…

On $4$-symmetric symplectic spaces, invariant almost complex structures -- up to sign -- arise in pairs. We exhibit some $4$-symmetric symplectic spaces, with a pair of "natural" compatible (usually not positive) invariant almost complex…

I will discuss the emergence of lorentzian symmetric spaces as supersymmetric supergravity backgrounds. I will focus on supergravity theories in dimension 11, 10, and 6, and will concentrate on the determination of the so-called maximally…

In this article, we consider flat and curved Riemannian symmetric spaces in the complex case and we study their basic integral kernels, in potential and spherical analysis: heat, Newton, Poisson kernels and spherical functions, i.e. the…

We give a complete classification of Riemannian and Lorentzian surfaces of arbitrary codimension in a pseudo-sphere whose pseudo-spherical Gauss maps are of 1-type or, in particular, harmonic. In some cases a concrete global classification…

In this expository article we discuss the relations between Sasakian geometry, reduced holonomy and supersymmetry. It is well known that the Riemannian manifolds other than the round spheres that admit real Killing spinors are precisely…

We characterize the image of the Poisson transform on any distinguished boundary of a Riemannian symmetric space of the noncompact type by a system of differential equations. The system corresponds to a generator system of a two sided…

We discuss hidden symmetries of three-dimensional field configurations revealed at the one-particle level by the use of pseudoclassical particle models. We argue that at the quantum field theory level, these can be naturally explained in…

It is known that hermitean random matrix ensembles can be identified with symmetric coset spaces of Lie groups, or else with tangent spaces of the same. This results in a classification of random matrix ensembles as well as applications in…

This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…

In this paper we obtain some results of harmonic analysis on quantum complex hyperbolic spaces. We introduce a quantum analog for the Laplace-Beltrami operator and its radial part. The latter appear to be second order $q$-difference…
