Almost cyclic regular semisimple elements in irreducible representations of simple algebraic groups

Donna Testerman

Let G be a simple linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p ≥ 0 and let φ be a nontrivial p-restricted irreducible representation of G. Let T be a maximal torus of G and s ∈ T . We say that s is Ad-regular if α(s ...

Lie groups as permutation groups: Ulam's problem in the nilpotent case

Nicolas Monod

Ulam asked whether every connected Lie group can be represented on a countable structure. This is known in the linear case. We establish it for the first family of non-linear groups, namely in the nilpotent case. Further context is discussed to illustrate ...

The rationales that underlie modal practices

Vincent Kaufmann

Encouraging a modal shift from individual transportation to less polluting modes such as public transport, walking and cycling, is now a key recommendation of the UN to reach the goals set by the Paris Agreement. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a de ...

A b-symplectic slice theorem

Anna Kiesenhofer

In this article, motivated by the study of symplectic structures on manifolds with boundary and the systematic study of b-symplectic manifolds started in Guillemin, Miranda, and Pires Adv. Math. 264 (2014), 864-896, we prove a slice theorem for Lie group a ...

A combinatorial proof of a sumset conjecture of Furstenberg

Florian Karl Richter

We give a new proof of a sumset conjecture of Furstenberg that was first proved by Hochman and Shmerkin in 2012: if logr/logs\log r / \log s is irrational and XX and YY are ×r\times r- and ×s\times s-invariant subsets of [0,1][0,1], respectively, then $\dim_\text{ ...

On complete reducibility of tensor products of simple modules over simple algebraic groups

Jonathan Gruber

Let G be a simply connected simple algebraic group over an al- gebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The category of rationalG-modules is not semisimple. We consider the question of when the tensorproduct of two simple G-modules L(λ) and L(μ) ...

Spherical birational sheets in reductive groups

Filippo Ambrosio

We classify the spherical birational sheets in a complex simple simply-connected algebraic group. We use the classification to show that, when G is a connected reductive complex algebraic group with simply-connected derived subgroup, two conjugacy classes ...

Almost impossible E_8 and Leech lattices

Maryna Viazovska

We start this short note by introducing two remarkable mathematical objects: the E8E8​ root lattice Lambda8Lambda8 in 8-dimensional Euclidean space and the Leech lattice Lambda24Lambda24 in 24-dimensional space. These two lattices stand out among their lat ...

Smaller, Faster & Lighter KNN Graph Constructions

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Olivier Ruas

We propose GoldFinger, a new compact and fast-to-compute binary representation of datasets to approximate Jaccard’s index. We illustrate the effectiveness of GoldFinger on the emblematic big data problem of K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN) graph construction and s ...

On compact representations of Voronoi cells of lattices

Matthias Schymura, Christoph Hunkenschröder

In a seminal work, Micciancio and Voulgaris (SIAM J Comput 42(3):1364-1391, 2013) described a deterministic single-exponential time algorithm for the closest vector problem (CVP) on lattices. It is based on the computation of the Voronoi cell of the given ...
