This is a short, self-contained expository survey, focused on algebraic and analytic aspects of quantum groups. Topics covered include the definition of ``quantum group,'' the Yang-Baxter equation, quantized universal enveloping algebras,…
We show that the categories of compact Lie groups and complex reductive groups (not necessarily connected) are homotopy equivalent topological categories. In other words, the corresponding categories enriched in the homotopy category of…
The aim of this paper is to present aspects of the use of Lie groups in mechanics. We start with the motion of the rigid body for which the main concepts are extracted. In a second part, we extend the theory for an arbitrary Lie group and…
In this short letter we conclude our program, started in [J. Math. Phys. 46 (2005) 083512], of building up explicit generalized Euler angle parameterizations for all exceptional compact Lie groups. In this last step we solve the problem for…
For a representation of a Lie algebra, one can construct a diagram of the representation, i. e. a directed graph with edges labeled by matrix elements of the representation. This article explains how to use these diagrams to describe normal…
The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…
The goal of this paper is to consider some relations between varieties of representations of groups and varieties of associative algebras. The main emphasis is put on the varieties of representations of groups induced by the varieties of…
Based on an idea in [Gan--Savin, Represent. Theory (2005)], we give a classification of minimal representations of connected simple real Lie groups not of type $A$. Actually, we prove that there exist no new minimal representations up to…
The Lie algebra of the Poincar\'e-Maxwell group is derived in a manner that provides the interpretation of the equations of motion. It is clarified that the dynamics obtained from the orbit method is exactly equivalent to the classical…
We provide a motivated introduction to the theory of categorical actions of groups and the local geometric Langlands program. Along the way we emphasize applications, old and new, to the usual representation theory of reductive and affine…
This is a concise introduction to the theory of Lie groupoids, with emphasis in their role as models for stacks. After some preliminaries, we review the foundations on Lie groupoids, and we carefully study equivalences and proper groupoids.…
A practical approach is proposed to construct short presentations for Euclidean crystallographic groups in terms of generators and relations. For our purposes a short presentation is the one with a small number of short relators for a given…
We describe the full group of isometries of absolutely simple, compact, connected real Lie groups, of SO(4) and of U(n), endowed with suitable bi-invariant Riemannian metrics.
This paper investigates the critical group of a faithful representation of a finite group. It computes the order of the critical group in terms of the character values, and gives some restrictions on its subgroup structure. It also computes…
This paper is designed to attract people who work on real hyperbolic manifolds to consider thinking about discrete subgroups of higher rank Lie groups. To that end, we breezily discuss some applications of the ideas from the theory of…
By this short preface we show the main idea and we will bring some definitions and concepts in each section.
We generalize the concept of stabilizer subgroups to compact quantum groups.
All real three dimensional Poisson-Lie groups are explicitly constructed and fully classified under group automorphisms by making use of their one-to-one correspondence with the complete classification of real three-dimensional Lie…
We consider the natural Lie algebra structure on the (associative) group algebra of a finite group $G$, and show that the Lie subalgebras associated to natural involutive antiautomorphisms of this group algebra are reductive ones. We give a…
Let $G$ be a noncompact real algebraic group and $\G<G$ a lattice. One purpose of this paper is to show that there is an smooth, volume preserving, mixing action of $G$ or $\G$ on a compact manifold which admits a smooth deformation. We…
