There are several theorems named after the Italian mathematician Vitali. In this note we provide a simple proof of an extension of Vitali's Theorem on the existence of non-measurable sets. Specifically, we show, without using any…

We give a simple derivation of the Plancherel measure for Lebedev-Whittaker transforms on GL(n).

We suggest a geometrical approach to the semi-invariants of quivers based on Luna's slice theorem and the Luna-Richardson theorem. The locally semi-simple representations are defined in this spirit but turn out to be connected with stable…

A new method of derivation of Lorentz Transformation (LT) is given based on both axioms of special relativity (SR) and physical intuitions. The essence of the transformation is established and the crucial role played by the presumptions is…

We provide an explicit algorithm to calculate invariant tensors for the adjoint representation of the simple Lie algebra $sl(n)$, as well as arbitrary representation in terms of roots. We also obtain explicit formulae for the adjoint…

We present a short proof of Klartag's central limit theorem for convex bodies, using only the most classical facts about log-concave functions. An appendix is included where we give the proof that thin shell implies CLT. The paper is…

A possible generalization of the method of orbits to SLq(2,R) is discussed.

In these notes we compute the Plancherel measures associated with genuine principal series representations of n-fold covers of p-adic SL(2,F). Along the way we also compute a higher dimensional metaplectic analog of Shahidi local…

We give a geometric proof of a conjecture of W. Fulton on the multiplicities of irreducible representations in a tensor product of irreducible representations for GL(r).

We prove a central limit theorem for $\log|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ with respect to the measure $|\zeta^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^{2k}dt$ ($k,m\in\mathbb N$), assuming RH and the asymptotic formula for twisted and shifted integral moments of zeta. Under the…

We study polynomial SL-invariants of tensors, mainly focusing on fundamental invariants which are of smallest degrees. In particular, we prove that certain 3-dimensional analogue of the Alon--Tarsi conjecture on Latin cubes considered…

We solve a Lehmer-type question about the Mahler measure of integer-valued polynomials.

Using the theory of perverse sheaves of vanishing cycles, we define a homological invariant of knots in three-manifolds, similar to the three-manifold invariant constructed by Abouzaid and the second author. We use spaces of SL(2,C) flat…

We prove a conjecture of Naito-Sagaki about a branching rule for the restriction of irreducible representations of $\mathfrak{sl}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ to $\mathfrak{sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$. The conjecture is in terms of certain Littelmann paths,…

Let A,B be matrices in SL(2,R) having trace greater than or equal to 2. Assume the pair A,B is coherently oriented, that is, can be conjugated to a pair having nonnegative entries. Assume also that either A,B^(-1) is coherently oriented as…

By changing variables in a suitable way and using dominated convergence methods, this note gives a short proof of Stirling's formula and its refinement.

A compact Lie group G and a faithful complex representation V determine a Sato-Tate measure, defined as the direct image of Haar measure on G with respect to the character of V. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a Sato-Tate…
