Motivated by permutation statistics, we define for any complex reflection group W a family of bivariate generating functions. They are defined either in terms of Hilbert series for W-invariant polynomials when W acts diagonally on two sets…
The forward and backward scattering off linear systems with discrete rotational symmetries R_z (2{\pi} /n) with n $\ge$ 3 are shown to be restricted by symmetry reasons. Along the symmetry axis, forward scattering can only be helicity…
Lie transformation groups containing a one-dimensional subgroup acting cyclically on a manifold are considered. The structure of the group is found to be considerably restricted by the existence of a one-dimensional subgroup whose orbits…
We discuss scattering from pairs of isospectral quantum graphs constructed using the method described in [1, 2]. It was shown in [3] that scattering matrices of such graphs have the same spectrum and polar structure, provided that infinite…
A study is made of real Lie algebras admitting compatible complex and product structures, including numerous 4-dimensional examples. If g is a Lie algebra with such a structure then its complexification has a hypercomplex structure. It is…
In Lie sphere geometry, a cycle in $\RR^n$ is either a point or an oriented sphere or plane of codimension $1$, and it is represented by a point on a projective surface $\Omega\subset \PP^{n+2}$. The Lie product, a bilinear form on the…
In this paper, the theory of functions of one complex variable is explored to study linearly full unramified holomorphic two-spheres with constant curvature in $G(2,n)$ satisfying that the generated harmonic sequence degenerates at position…
For closed and oriented hyperbolic surfaces, a formula of Witten establishes an equality between two volume forms on the space of representations of the surface in a semisimple Lie group. One of the forms is a Reidemeister torsion, the…
Let $S_5$ denote the symmetric group on 5 letters, and let $\hat{S}_5$ denote a non-trivial double cover of $S_5$ whose Sylow 2-subgroups are generalized quaternion. We determine the universal deformation rings $R(S_5,V)$ and…
A regular covering projection $\p\colon \tX \to X$ of connected graphs is $G$-admissible if $G$ lifts along $\p$. Denote by $\tG$ the lifted group, and let $\CT(\p)$ be the group of covering transformations. The projection is called…
We follow our general model in Ref. [3] and analyze the formation of retinotopic projections for the biologically relevant situation of spherical geometries. To this end we elaborate both a linear and a nonlinear synergetic analysis which…
This paper exhibits a structural strategy to produce new minimal submanifolds in spheres based on two given ones. The method is to spin the given minimal submanifolds by a curve $\gamma\subset \mathbb S^3$ in a balanced way and leads to…
We introduce (co)homology theory for multiple group racks and construct cocycle invariants of compact oriented surfaces in the 3-sphere using their 2-cocycles, where a multiple group rack is a rack consisting of a disjoint union of groups.…
We consider a family of Riemannian manifolds M such that for each unit speed geodesic gamma of M there exists a distinguished bijective correspondence L between infinitesimal translations along gamma and infinitesimal rotations around it.…
In this PhD Thesis we investigate the geometry of random fields on compact Riemannian manifolds, in particular the two-dimensional sphere. In the first part, we characterize isotropic Gaussian fields on homogeneous spaces of a compact group…
We perform the asymptotic enumeration of two classes of rooted maps on orientable surfaces of genus g: m-hypermaps and m-constellations. For m=2, they correspond respectively to maps with even face degrees and bipartite maps. We obtain…
We study properties of Fisher distribution (von Mises-Fisher distribution, matrix Langevin distribution) on the rotation group SO(3). In particular we apply the holonomic gradient descent, introduced by Nakayama et al. (2011), and a method…
We generalize a Bernstein-type result due to Albujer and Al\'ias, for maximal surfaces in a curved Lorentzian product 3-manifold of the form $\Sigma_1\times \mathbb{R}$, to higher dimension and codimension. We consider $M$ a complete…
Following an idea of Ishida, we develop polynomial equations for certain unramified double covers of surfaces with p_g=q=1 and K^2=2. Our first main result provides an explicit surface surface X with these invariants defined over Q that has…
We prove new results on existence of solutions for the prescribed gaussian curvature problem on the euclidean sphere S^2. Those results are achieved by relating this problem with the holomorphic triples theory on Riemann surfaces. We think…
