Domains of holomorphy for irreducible unitary representations of simple Lie groups
We classify the domains of holomorphy of all Harish-Chandra modules of
irreducible unitary representations of simple non-compact Lie groups.Comment: revised version, to appear in Invent. math., 14 page
Quintics with Finite Simple Symmetries
We construct all quintic invariants in five variables with simple Non-Abelian
finite symmetry groups. These define Calabi-Yau three-folds which are left
invariant by the action of A_5, A_6 or PSL_2(11).Comment: 18 pages, typos corrected, matches published versio
Fundamental Weights, Permutation Weights and Weyl Character Formula
For a finite Lie algebra of rank N, the Weyl orbits
of strictly dominant weights contain number of
weights where is the dimension of its Weyl group . For any
, there is a very peculiar subset for
which we always have For
any dominant weight , the elements of are called
{\bf Permutation Weights}.
It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between elements of
and where is the Weyl vector of .
The concept of signature factor which enters in Weyl character formula can be
relaxed in such a way that signatures are preserved under this one-to-one
correspondence in the sense that corresponding permutation weights have the
same signature. Once the permutation weights and their signatures are specified
for a dominant , calculation of the character for
irreducible representation will then be provided by
multiplicity rules governing generalized Schur functions. The main idea is
again to express everything in terms of the so-called {\bf Fundamental Weights}
with which we obtain a quite relevant specialization in applications of Weyl
character formula.Comment: 6 pages, no figures, TeX, as will appear in Journal of Physics

Special functions associated to a certain fourth order differential equation
We develop a theory of "special functions" associated to a certain fourth
order differential operator on depending
on two parameters . For integers with
this operator extends to a self-adjoint operator on
with discrete spectrum. We find a closed
formula for the generating functions of the eigenfunctions, from which we
derive basic properties of the eigenfunctions such as orthogonality,
completeness, -norms, integral representations and various recurrence
relations.
This fourth order differential operator arises as the
radial part of the Casimir action in the Schr\"odinger model of the minimal
representation of the group , and our "special functions" give
-finite vectors
Symplectic connections and Fedosov's quantization on supermanifolds
A (biased and incomplete) review of the status of the theory of symplectic
connections on supermanifolds is presented. Also, some comments regarding
Fedosov's technique of quantization are made.Comment: Submitted to J. of Phys. Conf. Se
Formal Hecke algebras and algebraic oriented cohomology theories
In the present paper we generalize the construction of the nil Hecke ring of
Kostant-Kumar to the context of an arbitrary algebraic oriented cohomology
theory of Levine-Morel and Panin-Smirnov, e.g. to Chow groups, Grothendieck's
K_0, connective K-theory, elliptic cohomology, and algebraic cobordism. The
resulting object, which we call a formal (affine) Demazure algebra, is
parameterized by a one-dimensional commutative formal group law and has the
following important property: specialization to the additive and multiplicative
periodic formal group laws yields completions of the nil Hecke and the 0-Hecke
rings respectively. We also introduce a deformed version of the formal (affine)
Demazure algebra, which we call a formal (affine) Hecke algebra. We show that
the specialization of the formal (affine) Hecke algebra to the additive and
multiplicative periodic formal group laws gives completions of the degenerate
(affine) Hecke algebra and the usual (affine) Hecke algebra respectively. We
show that all formal affine Demazure algebras (and all formal affine Hecke
algebras) become isomorphic over certain coefficient rings, proving an analogue
of a result of Lusztig.Comment: 28 pages. v2: Some results strengthened and references added. v3:

Vector coherent state representations, induced representations, and geometric quantization: II. Vector coherent state representations
It is shown here and in the preceeding paper (quant-ph/0201129) that vector
coherent state theory, the theory of induced representations, and geometric
quantization provide alternative but equivalent quantizations of an algebraic
model. The relationships are useful because some constructions are simpler and
more natural from one perspective than another. More importantly, each approach
suggests ways of generalizing its counterparts. In this paper, we focus on the
construction of quantum models for algebraic systems with intrinsic degrees of
freedom. Semi-classical partial quantizations, for which only the intrinsic
degrees of freedom are quantized, arise naturally out of this construction. The
quantization of the SU(3) and rigid rotor models are considered as examples.Comment: 31 pages, part 2 of two papers, published versio
Orthogonal Decomposition of Some Affine Lie Algebras in Terms of their Heisenberg Subalgebras
In the present note we suggest an affinization of a theorem by Kostrikin
et.al. about the decomposition of some complex simple Lie algebras
into the algebraic sum of pairwise orthogonal Cartan subalgebras. We point out
that the untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebras of types ( prime,
), can be decomposed into
the algebraic sum of pairwise or\-tho\-go\-nal Heisenberg subalgebras. The
and cases are discussed in great detail. Some possible
applications of such decompositions are also discussed.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX, no figure
Small oscillations and the Heisenberg Lie algebra
The Adler Kostant Symes [A-K-S] scheme is used to describe mechanical systems
for quadratic Hamiltonians of on coadjoint orbits of the
Heisenberg Lie group. The coadjoint orbits are realized in a solvable Lie
algebra that admits an ad-invariant metric. Its quadratic induces
the Hamiltonian on the orbits, whose Hamiltonian system is equivalent to that
one on . This system is a Lax pair equation whose solution can
be computed with help of the Adjoint representation. For a certain class of
functions, the Poisson commutativity on the coadjoint orbits in
is related to the commutativity of a family of derivations of the
2n+1-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra . Therefore the complete
integrability is related to the existence of an n-dimensional abelian
subalgebra of certain derivations in . For instance, the motion
of n-uncoupled harmonic oscillators near an equilibrium position can be
described with this setting.Comment: 17 pages, it contains a theory about small oscillations in terms of
