A polarized variety is K-stable if, for any test configuration, the Donaldson-Futaki invariant is positive. In this paper, inspired by classical geometric invariant theory, we describe the space of test configurations as a limit of a direct system of Tits ...
We consider a natural subclass of harmonic maps from a surface into G/T, namely cyclic primitive maps. Here G is any simple real Lie group (not necessarily compact), T is a Cartan subgroup and both are chosen so that there is a Coxeter automorphism on G(C) ...
We prove a version of Myers-Steenrod's theorem for Finsler manifolds under the minimal regularity hypothesis. In particular we show that an isometry between C-k,C-alpha-smooth (or partially smooth) Finsler metrics, with k + alpha > 0, k is an element of N ...
In imitation learning, multivariate Gaussians are widely used to encode robot behaviors. Such approaches do not provide the ability to properly represent end-effector orientation, as the distance metric in the space of orientations is not Euclidean. In thi ...
Let G be a simple linear algebraic group over an algebraically dosed field K of characteristic p >= 0 and let V be an irreducible rational G-module with highest weight A. When is self-dual, a basic question to ask is whether V has a non-degenerate G-invari ...
Bi-Jacobi fields are generalized Jacobi fields, and are used to efficiently compute approximations to Riemannian cubic splines in a Riemannian manifold M. Calculating bi-Jacobi fields is straightforward when M is a symmetric space such as bi-invariant SO(3 ...
Let G be a connected, semisimple algebraic group over a field k whose characteristic is very good for G. In a canonical manner, one associates to a nilpotent element X is an element of Lie(G) a parabolic subgroup P - in characteristic zero, P may be descri ...
A finitely generated subgroup F of a real Lie group G is said to be Diophantine if there is beta > 0 such that non-trivial elements in the word ball B-Gamma(n) centered at 1 is an element of F never approach the identity of G closer than broken vertical ba ...
For G a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, we determine the irreducible representations ρ:G→I(V), where I(V) denotes one of the classical groups SL(V), Sp(V), SO(V), such that ρ sends some distinguished unipotent ...
Representations of solutions of equations describing the diffusion and quantum dynamics of particles in a Riemannian manifold are discussed under the assumption that the mass of particles is anisotropic and depends on both time and position. These equation ...
