This work is an extension of our earlier article, where a well-known integral representation of the logarithmic function was explored, and was accompanied with demonstrations of its usefulness in obtaining compact, easily-calculable, exact…
Let G be a complex reductive group and K a maximal compact subgroup. If X is a smooth projective G-variety, with a fixed (not necessarily integral) K-invariant Kaehler form, then the K-action is Hamiltonian. Let M be the zero fiber of the…
In this paper we solve moment problems for Poisson transforms and, more generally, for completely positive linear maps on unital C*-algebras generated by ''universal'' row contractions associated with the free semigroup with n generators.
We prove using jet schemes that the zero loci of the moment maps for the quivers with one vertex and at least two loops have rational singularities. This implies that the spaces of representations of the fundamental group of a compact…
In this paper, we review the theory of time space-harmonic polynomials developed by using a symbolic device known in the literature as the classical umbral calculus. The advantage of this symbolic tool is twofold. First a moment…
We use representation theory to construct spaces of matrices of constant rank. These spaces are parametrized by the natural representation of the general linear group or the symplectic group. We present variants of this idea, with more…
In this paper, we establish an explicit isomorphism between the symmetric group algebra and the path algebra of the Young graph. Specifically, we construct a family of matrix units in the group algebra. As a main application of this…
Let Phi : M --> g^* be a proper moment map associated to an action of a compact connected Lie group, G, on a connected symplectic manifold, (M,\omega). A collective function is a pullback via \Phi of a smooth function on g^*. In this paper…
In this paper, we give a simple formula for sectional curvatures on the general linear group, which is also valid for many other matrix groups. Similar formula is given for a reductive Lie group. We also discuss the relation between…
moment maps arise as a generalization of genuine moment maps on symplectic manifolds when the symplectic structure is discarded, but the relation between the mapping and the action is kept. Particular examples of abstract moment maps had…
We prove that when assuming suitable non-degeneracy conditions equivariant harmonic maps into symmetric spaces of non-compact type depend in a real analytic fashion on the representation they are associated to. The main tool in the proof is…
Let $G$ be a locally convex Lie group and $\pi:G \to \mathrm{U}(\mathcal{H})$ be a continuous unitary representation. $\pi$ is called smooth if the space of $\pi$-smooth vectors $\mathcal{H}^\infty\subset \mathcal{H}$ is dense. In this…
A version of quantum orbit method is presented for real forms of equal rank of quantum complex simple groups. A quantum moment map is constructed, based on the canonical isomorphism between a quantum Heisenberg algebra and an algebra of…
A generalized moment map is proposed for arbitrary symplectic actions of compact connected Lie groups on closed symplectic manifolds, in the spirit of the circle -valued maps introduced by D. McDuff in the case of non-Hamiltonian circle…
This paper surveys the role of moment maps in K\"ahler geometry. The first section discusses the Ricci form as a moment map and then moves on to moment map interpretations of the K\"ahler--Einstein condition and the scalar curvature…
Antiunitary representations of Lie groups take values in the group of unitary and antiunitary operators on a Hilbert space H. In quantum physics, antiunitary operators implement time inversion or a PCT symmetry, and in the modular theory of…
The phase space given by the cotangent bundle of a Lie group appears in the context of several models for physical systems. A representation for the quantum system in terms of non-commutative functions on the (dual) Lie algebra, and a…
In this paper we present a new procedure to obtain unitary and irreducible representations of Lie groups starting from the cotangent bundle of the group (the cotangent group). We discuss some applications of the construction in…
This is an introductory note concerning the distribution vectors in a unitary representation of a Lie group. We discuss the definition of matrix coefficients associated with a pair of distributions and how one can compute them. Most of the…
In a Hamiltonian Lie algebroid over a pre-symplectic manifold and over a Poisson manifold, we introduce a map corresponding to a comomentum map, called a comomentum section. We show that the comomentum section gives a Lie algebroid morphism…
