Double centralizers of unipotent elements in simple algebraic groups of type $E_7$ and $E_8$

Iulian Ion Simion

This article addresses questions about the double centralizer of unipotent elements u in simple algebraic groups G of type and defined over algebraically closed fields of bad characteristic. We use the method developed in [14] to determine , deduce its dim ...

Subgroups Of Simple Algebraic Groups Containing Regular Tori, And Irreducible Representations With Multiplicity 1 Non-Zero Weights

Donna Testerman

Our main goal is to determine, under certain restrictions, the maximal closed connected subgroups of simple linear algebraic groups containing a regular torus. We call a torus regular if its centralizer is abelian. We also obtain some results of independen ...

Double centralizers of unipotent elements in simple algebraic groups of type G(2), F-4 and E-6

Iulian Ion Simion

Let u be a unipotent element of a simple algebraic group G over a field k of characteristic p. We develop a method for computing the connected component of Z(C-G(u)) in the cases where p is positive and both it and the rank of G are small enough. The metho ...

Prym varieties of spectral covers

Tamás Hausel

Given a possibly reducible and non-reduced spectral cover pi: X -> C over a smooth projective complex curve C we determine the group of connected components of the Prym variety Prym(X/C). As an immediate application we show that the finite group of n-torsi ...

A descent algorithm for the optimal control of constrained nonlinear switched dynamical systems

Maryam Kamgarpour

One of the oldest problems in the study of dynamical systems is the calculation of an optimal control. Though the determination of a numerical solution for the general non-convex optimal control problem for hybrid systems has been pursued relentlessly to d ...

Infinite dimensional geodesic flows and the universal Teichmüller space

François Gay-Balmaz

The subject of this thesis lies in the intersection of differential geometry and functional analysis, a domain usually called global analysis. A central object in this work is the group Ds(M) of all orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of a compact manif ...

Irreducibility of disconnected subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups

Soumaïa Nadia Ghandour

This dissertation is concerned with the study of irreducible embeddings of simple algebraic groups of exceptional type. It is motivated by the role of such embeddings in the study of positive dimensional closed subgroups of classical algebraic groups. The ...

Grouping of contextual elements that affect vernier thresholds

Michael Herzog

To reveal the mechanisms of spatial interference in the fovea, we examined the capacity of a variety of lateral flanking configurations to interfere with alignment thresholds of a vertical vernier. A single line on each side of the vernier, at the optimal ...

On Haagerup and Kazhdan properties

In the first chapter, we characterize p-adic linear algebraic groups with the Haagerup Property. We also characterize connected Lie groups having the Haagerup Property viewed as discrete groups, and we provide an example of a finitely presented group not h ...
