We introduce a category of inverse semigroup actions and a category of \'etale groupoids. We show that there are three functors which send inverse semigroups to their spectral actions, inverse semigroup actions to their transformation…
Motivated by the combinatorial properties of products in Lie algebras, we investigate the subset of permutations that naturally appears when we write the long commutator $[x_1, x_2, ..., x_m]$ as a sum of associative monomials. We…
Ordering identities in the Weyl-Heisenberg algebra generated by single-mode boson operators are investigated. A boson string composed of creation and annihilation operators can be expanded as a linear combination of other such strings, the…
In this paper, we study connections between the structure of a group and the structure of the group (under pointwise product) of its polynomial functions.
We introduce the Pythagorean C*-algebras and use the category/functor method to construct unitary representations of Thompson's groups from representations of them. We calculate several examples.
An objective of the theory of combinatorial groupoids is to introduce concepts like "holonomy", "parallel transport", "bundles", "combinatorial curvature" etc. in the context of simplicial (polyhedral) complexes, posets, graphs, polytopes,…
Even with the introduction of supercharacter theories, the representation theory of many unipotent groups remains mysterious. This paper constructs a family of supercharacter theories for normal pattern groups in a way that exhibit many of…
Set partitions and permutations with restrictions on the size of the blocks and cycles are important combinatorial sequences. Counting these objects lead to the sequences generalizing the classical Stirling and Bell numbers. The main focus…
Relativistic particle actions are a useful tool to describe quantum field theory effective actions using a string-inspired first-quantized approach. Here we describe how to employ suitable particle actions in the computation of the scalar…
Expanding products of invariant functions of a group element as a series in the basis of characters of the irreducible representations of a group is widely used in many areas of physics and related fields. In this contribution a formula to…
While it is possible to introduce quantum group symmetry into the framework of quantum mechanics, the general problem of how to implement quantum group symmetry into $(3+1)$ dimensional quantum field theory has not yet been solved. Here we…
We investigate the algebra generated by the operators $x$ and $\mathrm{I} = \int_0^x$, which satisfy the commutation relation \[ [\mathrm{I},x] = \mathrm{I}x - x\mathrm{I} = - \mathrm{I}^2. \] We develop a combinatorial framework for the…
The anomalous bilinear commutation relations satisfied by the components of the Green's ansatz for paraparticles are shown to derive from the comultiplication of the paraboson or parafermion algebra. The same provides a generalization of…
For a cyclic group $a$, define the atom of $a$ as the set of all elements generating $a$. Given any two elements $a,b$ of a finite cyclic group $G$, we study the sumset of the atom of $a$ and the atom of $b$. It is known that such a sumset…
We use the variety of one-parameter subgroups to define a numerical invariant for a representation of an infinitesimal group scheme. For an indecomposable module M of complexity 1, this number is related to the period of M.
We introduce the notion of "generalized bosons" whose exchange statistics resemble those of bosons, but the local bosonic commutator $[a_i,a_i^\dagger]=1$ is replaced by an arbitrary single-mode operator that is diagonal in the generalized…
A group, defined as set with associative multiplication and inverse, is a natural structure describing the symmetry of a space. The concept of group generalizes to group objects internal to other categories than sets. But there are yet more…
We give an analog of Frobenius' theorem about the factorization of the group determinant on the group algebra of finite abelian groups and we extend it into dihedral groups and generalized quaternion groups. Furthermore, we describe the…
We construct quantum "az+b" groups for new values of the deformation parameter. Along the way we introduce new special functions and study their analytic properties as well as analyze the commutation relations determined by the choice of…
A thorough account is given of the derivation of uniform semiclassical approximations to the particle and kinetic energy densities of N noninteracting bounded fermions in one dimension. The employed methodology allows the inclusion of…
