Gaussian Maps and Tensor products of irreducible representations.
Following Lusztig, we consider a Coxeter group together with a weight function. Geck showed that the Kazhdan-Lusztig cells of are compatible with parabolic subgroups. In this paper, we generalize this argument to some subsets of which may not be parabolic subgroups. We obtain two applications: we show that under specific technical conditions on the parameters, the cells of certain parabolic subgroups of are cells in the whole group, and we decompose the affine Weyl group of type into left...
We generalize the definition of quiver representation to arbitrary reductive groups. The classical definition corresponds to the general linear group. We also show that for classical groups our definition gives symplectic and orthogonal representations of quivers with involution inverting the direction of arrows.
Generalizations of the classical Schwarzian derivative of complex analysis have been proposed by Osgood and Stowe [12, 13], Carne [5], and Ahlfors [3]. We present another generalization of the Schwarzian derivative over vector spaces.
We study the genus and SNT sets of connective covering spaces of familiar finite CW-complexes, both of rationally elliptic type (e.g. quaternionic projective spaces) and of rationally hyperbolic type (e.g. one-point union of a pair of spheres). In connection with the latter situation, we are led to an independently interesting question in group theory: if f is a homomorphism from Gl(ν,A) to Gl(n,A), ν < n, A = ℤ, resp. , does the image of f have infinite, resp. uncountably infinite, index in...
Let be a connected reductive subgroup of a complex connected reductive group . Fix maximal tori and Borel subgroups of and . Consider the cone generated by the pairs of strictly dominant characters such that is a submodule of . We obtain a bijective parametrization of the faces of as a consequence of general results on GIT-cones. We show how to read the inclusion of faces off this parametrization.
For a locally symmetric space , we define a compactification which we call the “geodesic compactification”. It is constructed by adding limit points in to certain geodesics in . The geodesic compactification arises in other contexts. Two general constructions of Gromov for an ideal boundary of a Riemannian manifold give for locally symmetric spaces. Moreover, has a natural group theoretic construction using the Tits building. The geodesic compactification plays two fundamental roles in...
