We classify the symmetric association schemes with faithful spherical embedding in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. Our result is based on previous research on primitive association schemes with $m_1 = 3$.
We realize specific classical symmetric spaces, like the semi-K\"ahler symmetric spaces discovered by Berger, as cotangent bundles of symmetric flag manifolds. These realizations enable us to describe these cotangent bundles' geodesics and…
We construct pairs of compact Riemannian orbifolds which are isospectral for the Laplace operator on functions such that the maximal isotropy order of singular points in one of the orbifolds is higher than in the other. In one type of…
We explore the embedding of Spin groups of arbitrary dimension and signature into simple superalgebras in the case of extended supersymmetry. The R-symmetry, which generically is not compact, can be chosen compact for all the cases that are…
The Grassmannian model represents harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces by families of shift-invariant subspaces of a Hilbert space. We impose a natural symmetry condition on the shift-invariant subspaces that corresponds to considering an…
We develop a systematic method for classifying supersymmetric orbifold compactifications of M-theory. By restricting our attention to abelian orbifolds with low order, in the special cases where elements do not include coordinate shifts, we…
Symmetric edge polytopes are a recent and well-studied family of centrally symmetric polytopes arising from graphs. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this family to arbitrary simplicial complexes. We show how topological…
We develop a general structure theory for compact homogeneous Riemannian manifolds in relation to the co-index of symmetry. We will then use these results to classify irreducible, simply connected, compact homogeneous Riemannian manifolds…
As a result of our statistical study of 540 edge-on galaxies, we present here the images and preliminary statistical analysis of a sub-sample of 60 galaxies, that were selected to be S-type warped spirals. Computing the average volumic…
Classical and quantum Hamiltonian reductions of free geodesic systems of complete Riemannian manifolds are investigated. The reduced systems are described under the assumption that the underlying compact symmetry group acts in a polar…
For a compact 3-manifold $M$ which is a circle bundle over a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ with even Euler number $e(M)$, and with a Riemannian metric compatible with the bundle projection, there exists a compact minimal surface $S$ in…
Complex geometric properties of the orbits of a non-compact real form $G_0$ in a flag manifold $Z=G/Q$ of a complex semi-simple groups $G=G_0^\mathbb C$ are studied. Schubert varieties are used to construct a complex submanifold with…
Two specific families of distributions in harmonic and Clifford analysis are further studied through a spherical co-ordinates approach. In particular actions involving spherical co-ordinates, such as the radial derivative and the…
We investigate the existence of static, spherically symmetric compact objects within the framework of symmetric teleparallel scalar-tensor gravity. This theory extends the Brans-Dicke and scalar-tensor models within the symmetric…
We give an alternative argument for the classification of real bundle pairs over smooth symmetric surfaces and extend this classification to nodal symmetric surfaces. We also classify the homotopy classes of automorphisms of real bundle…
Recently, we have introduced a novel inter-subband-induced spin-orbit (s-o) coupling [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 076603 (2007); cond-mat/0607218] arising in \textit{symmetric} wells with at least two subbands. This new s-o coupling gives rise to…
Band topology is both constrained and enriched by the presence of symmetry. The importance of anti-unitary symmetries such as time reversal was recognized early on leading to the classification of topological band structures based on the…
The main aim of this work is to construct several new families of proper biharmonic functions defined on open subsets of the classical compact simple Lie groups $\SU n$, $\SO n$ and $\Sp n$. We work in a geometric setting which connects our…
Given a two-dimensional conformal field theory with a global symmetry, we propose a method to implement an orbifold construction by taking orbits of the modular group. For the case of cyclic symmetries we find that this approach always…
We classify the subvarieties of infinite dimensional affine space that are stable under the infinite symmetric group. We determine the defining equations and point sets of these varieties as well as the containments between them.
