Triangular de Rham Cohomology of Compact Kahler Manifolds
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 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 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 (the Lie algebra of G) or, equivalently, in terms
of the harmonic forms on M representing this cohomology
Classification of double flag varieties of complexity 0 and 1
A classification of double flag varieties of complexity 0 and 1 is obtained.
An application of this problem to decomposing tensor products of irreducible
representations of semisimple Lie groups is considered
Dressing Symmetries of Holomorphic BF Theories
We consider holomorphic BF theories, their solutions and symmetries. The
equivalence of Cech and Dolbeault descriptions of holomorphic bundles is used
to develop a method for calculating hidden (nonlocal) symmetries of holomorphic
BF theories. A special cohomological symmetry group and its action on the
solution space are described.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX2
Affine algebraic groups with periodic components
A connected component of an affine algebraic group is called periodic if all
its elements have finite order. We give a characterization of periodic
components in terms of automorphisms with finite number of fixed points. It is
also discussed which connected groups have finite extensions with periodic
components. The results are applied to the study of the normalizer of a maximal
torus in a simple algebraic group.Comment: 20 page
Local invariants of stabilizer codes
In [Phys. Rev. A 58, 1833 (1998)] a family of polynomial invariants which
separate the orbits of multi-qubit density operators under the action of
the local unitary group was presented. We consider this family of invariants
for the class of those which are the projection operators describing
stabilizer codes and give a complete translation of these invariants into the
binary framework in which stabilizer codes are usually described. Such an
investigation of local invariants of quantum codes is of natural importance in
quantum coding theory, since locally equivalent codes have the same
error-correcting capabilities and local invariants are powerful tools to
explore their structure. Moreover, the present result is relevant in the
context of multipartite entanglement and the development of the
measurement-based model of quantum computation known as the one-way quantum
computer.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure. Minor changes. Accepted in Phys. Rev.
A derivation of quantum theory from physical requirements
Quantum theory is usually formulated in terms of abstract mathematical
postulates, involving Hilbert spaces, state vectors, and unitary operators. In
this work, we show that the full formalism of quantum theory can instead be
derived from five simple physical requirements, based on elementary assumptions
about preparation, transformations and measurements. This is more similar to
the usual formulation of special relativity, where two simple physical
requirements -- the principles of relativity and light speed invariance -- are
used to derive the mathematical structure of Minkowski space-time. Our
derivation provides insights into the physical origin of the structure of
quantum state spaces (including a group-theoretic explanation of the Bloch ball
and its three-dimensionality), and it suggests several natural possibilities to
construct consistent modifications of quantum theory.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures. V3: added alternative formulation of Requirement

On Z-gradations of twisted loop Lie algebras of complex simple Lie algebras
We define the twisted loop Lie algebra of a finite dimensional Lie algebra
as the Fr\'echet space of all twisted periodic smooth mappings
from to . Here the Lie algebra operation is
continuous. We call such Lie algebras Fr\'echet Lie algebras. We introduce the
notion of an integrable -gradation of a Fr\'echet Lie algebra, and
find all inequivalent integrable -gradations with finite dimensional
grading subspaces of twisted loop Lie algebras of complex simple Lie algebras.Comment: 26 page
