Higher-Dimensional Representations of the Reflection Equation Algebra

We consider a new method for constructing finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the reflection equation algebra. We construct a series of irreducible representations parameterized by Young diagrams. We calculate the spectra of central elements s _k=Tr_q L ^k of the reflection equation algebra on q-symmetric and q-antisymmetric representations. We propose a rule for decomposing the tensor product of representations into irreducible representations.     

On the absence of positive eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators with rough potentials

We prove the absence of positive eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators $ H=-\Delta+V $ on Euclidean spaces $ \mathbb{R}^n $ for a certain class of rough potentials $V$. To describe our class of potentials fix an exponent $q\in[n/2,\infty]$ (or $q\in(1,\infty]$, if $n=2$) and let $\beta(q)=(2q-n)/(2q)$. For the potential $V$ we assume that $V\in L^{n/2}_{{\rm{loc}}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ (or $V\in L^{r}_{{\rm{loc}}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $r>1$, if $n=2$) and$\begin{equation*}$$\lim_{R\to\infty}R^{\beta(q)}||V||_{L^q(R\leq |x|\leq 2R)}=0\,.$$\end{equation*}$Under these assumptions we prove that the operator $H$ does not admit positive eigenvalues. The case $q=\infty$ was considered by Kato [K]. The absence of positive eigenvalues follows from a uniform Carleman inequality of the form$\begin{equation*}$$||W_m u||_{l^a(L^{p(q)})(\mathbb R^n)}\leq C_q||W_m|x|^{\beta(q)}(\Delta+1)u||_{l^a(L^{p(q)})(\mathbb{R}^n)}$$\end{equation*}$for all smooth compactly supported functions $u$ and a suitable sequence of weights $W_m$, where $p(q)$ and $p(q)$ are dual exponents with the property that $1/p(q)-1/p(q)=1/q$.     

Globally Irreducible Representations of Finite Groups and Integral Lattices

The notion of globally irreducible representations of finite groups has been introduced by B. H. Gross, in order to explain new series of Euclidean lattices discovered recently by N. Elkies and T. Shioda using Mordell--Weil lattices of elliptic curves. In this paper we first give a necessary condition for global irreducibility. Then we classify all globally irreducible representations of L ₂(q) and ²B₂(q), and of the majority of the 26 sporadic finite simple groups. We also exhibit one more globally irreducible representation, which is related to the Weil representation of degree (pⁿ-1)/2 of the symplectic group Sp_2n(p) (p 1 (mod 4) is a prime). As a consequence, we get a new series of even unimodular lattices of rank 2(pⁿ–1). A summary of currently known globally irreducible representations is given.     

Irreducible unitary representations of the groups U(p,q) sustaining passage to the limit aS q → ∞

The results of the note are inspired by the theory of representations of the infinite-dimensional classical groups. A new series of irreducible unitary representations of the group U(p,q) is described. These representations are constructed in the Gel'fand-Tsetlin basis and also as induced by nonunitary finite-dimensional representations of a maximal parabolic subgroup. As q they approximate irreducible unitary representations of the group U(p,).Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova, Akad.

On the Equation xp + y q = z r : A Survey

Let p, q and r be three integers 2. During the last ten years many new ideas have emerged for the study of the Diophantine equation x + y = z. This study is divided into three parts according whether (p, q, r) = is negative, zero or positive. For instance, if we have (p, q, r) < 0, this study is closely connected to the theory of modular representations of dimension 2 in finite characteristic. The approach of associating to this equation Galois representations given by the division points of elliptic curves is very efficient. The aim of this paper is to present this circle of ideas and the known results concerning this equation.     

Canonical representations on two-sheeted hyperboloids

The two-sheeted hyperboloid in ℝⁿ can be identified with the unit sphere Ω in ℝⁿ with the equator removed. Canonical representations of the group G = SO ₀(n − 1, 1) on are defined as the restrictions to G of the representations of the overgroup = SO ₀(n, 1) associated with a cone. They act on functions and distributions on the sphere Ω. We decompose these canonical representations into irreducible constituents and decompose the Berezin form. Bibliography: 12 titles.

Small quadratic elements in representations of the special linear group with large highest weights

For almost all p-restricted irreducible representations of the group A_n(K) in characteristic p > 0 with highest weights large enough with respect to p, the Jordan block structure of the images of small quadratic unipotent elements in these representations is determined. It is proved that if φ is an irreducible p-restricted representation of A_n(K) with highest weight

On minimum delta set values in block monoids over cyclic groups

The difference in length between two distinct factorizations of an element in a Dedekind domain or in the corresponding block monoid is an object of study in the theory of non-unique factorizations. It provides an alternate way, distinct from what the elasticity provides, of measuring the degree of non-uniqueness of factorizations. In this paper, we discuss the difference in consecutive lengths of irreducible factorizations in block monoids of the form where . We will show that the greatest integer r, denoted by , which divides every difference in lengths of factorizations in can be immediately determined by considering the continued fraction of . We then consider the set including necessary and sufficient conditions (which depend on p) for a value to be an element of . 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification Primary—20M14, 11A55, 20D60, 11A51 Parts of this work are contained in the first author’s Doctoral Dissertation written at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the direction of the third author.     

An extension of Takahashi theorem for the linearized operators of the higher order mean curvatures

We study hypersurfaces in Euclidean space whose position vector x satisfies the condition L _k x = Ax + b, where L _k is the linearized operator of the (k + 1)th mean curvature of the hypersurface for a fixed , is a constant matrix and is a constant vector. For every k, we prove that the only hypersurfaces satisfying that condition are hypersurfaces with zero (k + 1)th mean curvature and open pieces of round hyperspheres and generalized right spherical cylinders of the form , with . This extends a previous classification for hypersurfaces in satisfying , where is the Laplacian operator of the hypersurface, given independently by Hasanis and Vlachos [J. Austral. Math. Soc. Ser.

Finite splitting fields of normal subgroups

Let G be a finite group, a normal subgroup, p a prime, a finite splitting field of characteristic p for G and We prove that is a splitting field for N, using the action of the Galois group of the field extension on the irreducible representations of N. As is a splitting field for the symmetric group S_n we get as a corollary that is a splitting field for the alternating group A_n. Received: 31 July 2003     

Monoids and Cuspidal Group Characters

Let M be a finite monoid with unit group G. By the work of Munn and Ponizovski, the irreducible complex representations of M are classified according to which J-class (apex) they come from. Consider the irreducible representations of M with apex . These representations restrict to representations of G, whose components we view as coming from J-classes below G. The remaining irreducible representations (and their characters) of G are called cuspidal. We show that an irreducible character of G is cuspidal if and only if for all idempotents , where .

Complete spacelike submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector in a semi-Euclidean space

Our aim in this article is to study the geometry of n-dimensional complete spacelike submanifolds immersed in a semi-Euclidean space \({\mathbb{R}^{n+p}_{q}}\) of index q, with \({1\leq q\leq p}\). Under suitable constraints on the Ricci curvature and on the second fundamental form, we establish sufficient conditions to a complete maximal spacelike submanifold of \({\mathbb{R}^{n+p}_{q}}\) be totally geodesic. Furthermore, we obtain a nonexistence result concerning complete spacelike submanifolds with nonzero parallel mean curvature vector in \({\mathbb{R}^{n+p}_{p}}\) and, as a consequence, we get a rigidity result for complete constant mean curvature spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in the Lorentz–Minkowski space \({\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_{1}}\).
