Orbits of coadjoint representations of classical compact Lie groups have a lot of applications. They appear in representation theory, geometrical quantization, theory of magnetism, quantum optics etc. As geometric objects the orbits were…
Any sufficiently often differentiable curve in the orbit space of a compact Lie group representation can be lifted to a once differentiable curve into the representation space.
These are lecture notes that arose from a representation theory course given by the first author to the remaining six authors in March 2004 within the framework of the Clay Mathematics Institute Research Academy for high school students,…
This is the third paper of a series relating the equivariant twisted $K$-theory of a compact Lie group $G$ to the ``Verlinde space'' of isomorphism classes of projective lowest-weight representations of the loop groups. Here, we treat…
The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups $G$, and to describe their connections to classical representation…
This is an expository article on properties of actions on Lie groups by subgroups of their automorphism groups. After recalling various results on the structure of the automorphism groups, we discuss actions with dense orbits, invariant and…
A Lie groupoid can be thought of as a generalization of a Lie group in which the multiplication is only defined for certain pairs of elements. From another perspective, Lie groupoids can be regarded as manifolds endowed with a type of…
An elementary approach to the construction of Coxeter group representations is presented.
This is a brief overview of a few selected chapters on automorphism groups of affine varieties. It includes some open questions.
The decomposition of representations of compact classical Lie groups into representations of finite subgroups is discussed. A Mathematica package is presented that can be used to compute these branching rules using the Weyl character…
Into this note we collect topics related to homogeneous vector bundles, elliptic adjoint orbits and so forth.
This article (written in Polish) is aimed for a wide mathematical audience. It is intended as an introductory text concerning problems of the asymptotic theory of symmetric groups.
This paper is concerned with discrete, uniform subgroups (lattices) of oscillator groups, which are certain semidirect products of the Heisenberg group and the additive group of real numbers. The present paper rectifies the uncertainties in…
The present paper links the representation theory of Lie groupoids and infinite-dimensional Lie groups. We show that smooth representations of Lie groupoids give rise to smooth representations of associated Lie groups. The groups envisaged…
We study Lie foliations on compact manifolds, in case the Lie group is compact. Our main results improve Tischler classical result on the existence of fibration and, as an application, we study the case the manifold has an amenable…
This book is mainly an exposition of the author's works and his joint works with his former students on explicit representations of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, related partial differential equations, linear orthogonal algebraic…
We survey recent work on the geometry and dynamics of transverse subgroups of semi-simple Lie groups.
We apply compact group theory to obtain some model-theoretic results about the relativized Lascar Galois group of a strong type.
It is shown that a closed solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is compactly generated. In particular, every discrete solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is finitely generated. Generalizations to locally compact groups are…
Symmetry lies at the heart of todays theoretical study of particle physics. Our manuscript is a tutorial introducing foundational mathematics for understanding physical symmetries. We start from basic group theory and representation theory.…
