    Complete families of commuting functions for coisotropic Hamiltonian actions

    Full text link
    Let G be an algebraic group over a field F of characteristic zero, with Lie algebra g=Lie(G). The dual space g^* equipped with the Kirillov bracket is a Poisson variety and each irreducible G-invariant subvariety X\subset g^* carries the induced Poisson structure. We prove that there is a family of algebraically independent polynomial functions {f_1,...f_l} on X, which pairwise commute with respect to the Poisson bracket and such that l=(dim X+tr.deg F(X)^G)/2. We also discuss several applications of this result to complete integrability of Hamiltonian systems on symplectic Hamiltonian G-varieties of corank zero and 2.Comment: Changed presentatio

    Reflection groups in hyperbolic spaces and the denominator formula for Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebras

    Full text link
    This is a continuation of our "Lecture on Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the arithmetic type" \cite{25}. We consider hyperbolic (i.e. signature (n,1)(n,1)) integral symmetric bilinear form S:M×MZS:M\times M \to {\Bbb Z} (i.e. hyperbolic lattice), reflection group WW(S)W\subset W(S), fundamental polyhedron \Cal M of WW and an acceptable (corresponding to twisting coefficients) set P({\Cal M})\subset M of vectors orthogonal to faces of \Cal M (simple roots). One can construct the corresponding Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebra {\goth g}={\goth g}^{\prime\prime}(A(S,W,P({\Cal M}))) which is graded by MM. We show that \goth g has good behavior of imaginary roots, its denominator formula is defined in a natural domain and has good automorphic properties if and only if \goth g has so called {\it restricted arithmetic type}. We show that every finitely generated (i.e. P({\Cal M}) is finite) algebra {\goth g}^{\prime\prime}(A(S,W_1,P({\Cal M}_1))) may be embedded to {\goth g}^{\prime\prime}(A(S,W,P({\Cal M}))) of the restricted arithmetic type. Thus, Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the restricted arithmetic type is a natural class to study. Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the restricted arithmetic type have the best automorphic properties for the denominator function if they have {\it a lattice Weyl vector ρ\rho}. Lorentzian Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the restricted arithmetic type with generalized lattice Weyl vector ρ\rho are called {\it elliptic}Comment: Some corrections in Sects. 2.1, 2.2 were done.

    Noiseless Quantum Circuits for the Peres Separability Criterion

    Full text link
    In this Letter we give a method for constructing sets of simple circuits that can determine the spectrum of a partially transposed density matrix, without requiring either a tomographically complete POVM or the addition of noise to make the spectrum non-negative. These circuits depend only on the dimension of the Hilbert space and are otherwise independent of the state.Comment: 4 pages RevTeX, 7 figures encapsulated postscript. v5: title changed slightly, more-or-less equivalent to the published versio

    Triangular de Rham Cohomology of Compact Kahler Manifolds

    Full text link
    We study the de Rham 1-cohomology H^1_{DR}(M,G) of a smooth manifold M with values in a Lie group G. By definition, this is the quotient of the set of flat connections in the trivial principle bundle M×GM\times G by the so-called gauge equivalence. We consider the case when M is a compact K\"ahler manifold and G is a solvable complex linear algebraic group of a special class which contains the Borel subgroups of all complex classical groups and, in particular, the group Tn(C)T_n(\Bbb C) of all triangular matrices. In this case, we get a description of the set H^1_{DR}(M,G) in terms of the 1-cohomology of M with values in the (abelian) sheaves of flat sections of certain flat Lie algebra bundles with fibre g\frak g (the Lie algebra of G) or, equivalently, in terms of the harmonic forms on M representing this cohomology

    Affine spherical homogeneous spaces with good quotient by a maximal unipotent subgroup

    Full text link
    For an affine spherical homogeneous space G/H of a connected semisimple algebraic group G, we consider the factorization morphism by the action on G/H of a maximal unipotent subgroup of G. We prove that this morphism is equidimensional if and only if the weight semigroup of G/H satisfies some simple condition.Comment: v2: title and abstract changed; v3: 16 pages, minor correction

    Hypermatrix factors for string and membrane junctions

    Full text link
    The adjoint representations of the Lie algebras of the classical groups SU(n), SO(n), and Sp(n) are, respectively, tensor, antisymmetric, and symmetric products of two vector spaces, and hence are matrix representations. We consider the analogous products of three vector spaces and study when they appear as summands in Lie algebra decompositions. The Z3-grading of the exceptional Lie algebras provide such summands and provides representations of classical groups on hypermatrices. The main natural application is a formal study of three-junctions of strings and membranes. Generalizations are also considered.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figures, presentation improved, minor correction

    Cyclic elements in semisimple lie algebras

    Get PDF
    We develop a theory of cyclic elements in semisimple Lie algebras. This notion was introduced by Kostant, who associated a cyclic element with the principal nilpotent and proved that it is regular semisimple. In particular, we classfiy all nilpotents giving rise to semisimple and regular semisimple cyclic elements. As an application, we obtain an explicit construction of all regular elements in Weyl groups
