A finite dimensional filiform K-Lie algebra is a nilpotent Lie algebra g whose nil index is maximal, that is equal to dim g -1. We describe necessary and sufficient conditions for a filiform algebra over an algebraically closed field of…
Let $f:V\times V\to F$ be a totally arbitrary bilinear form defined on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over a a field $F$, and let $L(f)$ be the subalgebra of $\gl(V)$ of all skew-adjoint endomorphisms relative to $f$. Provided $F$ is…
A null vector is an algebraic quantity with square equal to zero. I denote the universal algebra generated by taking all sums and products of null vectors over the real or complex numbers by N. The rules of addition and multiplication in N…
We express the diagonals of projective, Grassmann and, more generally, flag bundles of type (A) using the zero schemes of some vector bundle sections, and do the same for their single point subschemes. We discuss diagonal and point…
We exhibit basic algebro-geometric results on the formal model of semi-infinite flag varieties and its Schubert varieties over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb K$ of characteristic $\neq 2$ from scratch. We show that the formal model…
Building on work of Furstenberg and Tzkoni, we introduce ${\bf r}$-flag affine quermassintegrals and their dual versions. These quantities generalize affine and dual affine quermassintegrals as averages on flag manifolds (where the…
We develop the theory of frames and Parseval frames for finite-dimensional vector spaces over the binary numbers. This includes characterizations which are similar to frames and Parseval frames for real or complex Hilbert spaces, and the…
Many interesting geometric structures can be described as regular infinitesimal flag structures, which occur as the underlying structures of parabolic geometries. Among these structures we have for instance conformal structures, contact…
We introduce new classes of integrable models that exhibit a structure similar to that of flag vector spaces. We present their Hamiltonians, R-matrices and Bethe-ansatz solutions. These models have a new type of generalized graded algebra…
We study a natural action of the Heisenberg group of integer unipotent matrices of the third order on distribution space of a two-dimensional local field for a flag on a two-dimensional scheme.
We study the intersection of the totally positive part of a split semisimple group over the real numbers with a totally positive parabolic subgroup.
The zero locus of a generic section of a vector bundle over a manifold defines a submanifold. A classical problem in geometry asks to realise a specified submanifold in this way. We study two cases; a point in a generalised flag manifold…
Let $b$ be a symmetric or alternating bilinear form on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$. When the characteristic of the underlying field is not $2$, we determine the greatest dimension for a linear subspace of nilpotent $b$-symmetric…
In this sequence, we first prove an abstract Morse index theorem in a Hilbert space modeling a variational problem with constraints. Then, our abstract formulation is applied to study several optimization setups including closed CMC…
Let $F$ be a field. Following the resolution of Milnor's conjecture relating the graded Witt ring of $F$ to its mod-2 Milnor $K$-theory, a major problem in the theory of symmetric bilinear forms is to understand, for any positive integer…
Flag domains are open orbits of real forms $G_\mathbb{R}$ of complex reductive Lie supergroups $G$ in $G$-flag supermanifolds $Z = G/P$. This thesis discusses three topics from the theory of these flag domains: 1. Measurability(i.e.…
The inducibility of a graph represents its maximum density as an induced subgraph over all possible sequences of graphs of size growing to infinity. This invariant of graphs has been extensively studied since its introduction in $1975$ by…
Let $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{P}_k^d$ be Drinfeld's halfspace over a finite field $k$ and let $\mathcal{E}$ be a homogeneous vector bundle on $\mathbb{P}_k^d$. The paper deals with two different descriptions of the space of global…
We define a variant of intersection space theory that applies to many compact complex and real analytic spaces $X$, including all complex projective varieties; this is a significant extension to a theory which has so far only been shown to…
The authors show that bilinear estimates for null forms hold for Dirichlet-wave equations outside of convex obstacle. This generalizes results for the Euclidean case of Klainerman and Machedon, and of Sogge for the variable coefficient…
