The representations ofU q(SO4) andU q(SO3,1)

Summary We have considered here the (unitary) irreducible representations of theq-deformed algebraU _q(SO₄) and of theq-deformed Lorentz algebraU _q(SO_3,1). Both of them contain, as subalgebra, the algebraU _q(SO₃) which is shown to be isomorphic to the Fairlie-Odesskii algebra. As the list of pairwise nonequivalent irreps of theU _q(SO_3,1) demonstrates, the set of the parameters, which characterize such irreps is somewhat reduced (due to periodicity properties of the function w(z)=[z]_q) in comparison with that of theq=1 (classical) case. From another side, the list of unitary irreps of theU _q(SO_3,1) contains the strange series which has no classical counterpart (disappears at q=1).Published in Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika.

Cocycles,extensions of group actions,and bundle representations

Let Y be an ergodic Borel G space. Conditions are determined in order for an extension X of Y to be a skew product extension of Y. These conditions depend on the behavior of the unitary bundle representation of the G space Y induced by the extension and on the existence of extensions of the G space X with certain appropriate properties.     

Special representations of the group SP(4,q) with minimal degrees

Let G be a finite group. Let p(G) denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation ofG and let q(G) and c(G) denote the minimal degree of a faithful representation of G by quasi-permutation matrices over the rational and the complex numbers, respectively. Finally r(G) denotes the minimal degree of a faithful rational valued complex character of G. The purpose of this paper is to calculate p(G), q(G), c(G) and r(G) for the group SP(4,q). This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The (p,q)-mixed geominimal surface areas1

Abstract

The (p, q)-mixed geominimal surface areas are introduced. A special case of the new concept is the L_p geominimal surface area introduced by Lutwak. Related inequalities, such as a?ne isoperimetric inequality, monotonous inequality, cyclic inequality, and Brunn-Minkowski inequality, are established. These new inequalities strengthen some well-known inequalities related to the L_p geominimal surface area.     

Boundary values of holomorphic functions, singular unitary representations ofO(p,q), and their limits asq→∞

Let Ω be a bounded circular domain in ℂ ^N , let M be a submanifold in the boundary of Ω, and let H be a Hilbert space of holomorphic functions in Ω. We show that, under certain conditions stated in terms of the reproducing kernel of the space H, the restriction operator to the submanifold M is well defined for all functions from H. We apply this result to constructing a family of “singular” unitary representations of the groups SO(p,q). The singular representations arise as discrete components of the spectrum in the decomposition of irreducible unitary highest weight representations of the groups U(p,q) restricted to the subgroups SO(p,q). Another property of the singular representations is that they persist in the limit as q→∞. Bibliography: 70 titles. Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 223, 1995, pp. 9–91.

Parabolic permutation representations of the group2 E 6(q 2)

For the twisted group of Lie type² E ₆(q ²), we calculate the ranks, degrees, subdegrees, and double stabilizers of the permutation representations related to parabolic maximal subgroups of nonminimal index. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 67, No. 6, pp. 899–912, June, 2000.     

Deformations of fundamental group representations and earthquakes on $${\textit{SO}}(n,1)$$ surface groups

In this article we construct a type of deformations of representations \(\pi _1(M)\rightarrow G\) where G is an arbitrary lie group and M is a large class of manifolds including \(\hbox {CAT}(0)\) manifolds. The deformations are defined based on codimension 1 hypersurfaces with certain conditions, and also on disjoint union of such hypersurfaces, i.e. multi-hypersurfaces. We show commutativity of deforming along disjoint hypersurfaces. As application, we consider Anosov surface groups in \({\textit{SO}}(n,1)\) and show that the construction can be extended continuously to measured laminations, thus obtaining earthquake deformations on these surface groups.     

Degenerate Principal Series Representations of U(p, q) and Spin0(p, q)

Let p>q and let G be the group U(p, q) or Spin₀(p, q). Let P=LN be the maximal parabolic subgroup of G with Levi subgroup where

Globally irreducible representations of SL3(q) and SU3(q)

The notion ofglobally irreducible representations of finite groups was introduced by B. H. Gross, in order to explain new series of Euclidean lattices discovered by N. Elkies and T. Shioda using Mordell-Weil lattices of elliptic curves. In this paper we classify all globally irreducible representations coming from projective complex representations of the finite simple groups PSL₃(q) and PSU₃(q). The main result is that these representations are essentially those discovered by Gross.     

(p,q)-odd digraphs

A digraph D is (p,q)-odd if and only if any subdivision of D contains a directed cycle of length different from p mod q. A characterization of (p,q)-odd digraphs analogous to the Seymour-Thomassen characterization of (1, 2)-odd digraphs is provided. In order to obtain this characterization we study the lattice generated by the directed cycles of a strongly connected digraph. We show that the sets of directed cycles obtained from an ear decomposition of the digraph in a natural way are bases of this lattice. A similar result does not hold for undirected graphs. However we construct, for each undirected 2-connected graph G, a set of cycles of G which form a basis of the lattice generated by the cycles of G. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
