A symplectic representation of E 7

Tevian Dray, Corinne A. Manogue, Robert A. Wilson (2014)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We explicitly construct a particular real form of the Lie algebra 𝔢 7 in terms of symplectic matrices over the octonions, thus justifying the identifications 𝔢 7 𝔰𝔭 ( 6 , 𝕆 ) and, at the group level, E 7 Sp ( 6 , 𝕆 ) . Along the way, we provide a geometric description of the minimal representation of 𝔢 7 in terms of rank 3 objects called cubies.

A transvection decomposition in GL(n,2)

Clorinda De Vivo, Claudia Metelli (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

An algorithm is given to decompose an automorphism of a finite vector space over ℤ₂ into a product of transvections. The procedure uses partitions of the indexing set of a redundant base. With respect to tents, i.e. finite ℤ₂-representations generated by a redundant base, this is a decomposition into base changes.

A tropical view on Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications

Annette Werner (2011)

Open Mathematics

We relate some features of Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications to tropical geometry. If G is a semisimple group over a suitable non-Archimedean field, the stabilizers of points in the Bruhat-Tits building of G and in some of its compactifications are described by tropical linear algebra. The compactifications we consider arise from algebraic representations of G. We show that the fan which is used to compactify an apartment in this theory is given by the weight polytope of the representation...

Actions of monoidally equivalent compact quantum groups and applications to probabilistic boundaries

An De Rijdt, Nikolas Vander Vennet (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The notion of monoidal equivalence for compact quantum groups was recently introduced by Bichon, De Rijdt and Vaes. In this paper we prove that there is a natural bijective correspondence between actions of monoidally equivalent quantum groups on unital C * -algebras or on von Neumann algebras. This correspondence turns out to be very useful to obtain the behavior of Poisson and Martin boundaries under monoidal equivalence of quantum groups. Finally, we apply these results to identify the Poisson boundary...
