Abstracts

 

Stephen Donkin Representations of Brauer algebras and symplectic Schur algebras

 

The work is joint with Rudolf Tange. The usual connection between representations of general linear groups and symmetric groups is adapted and exploited in the context of symplectic groups (in characteristic p) and Brauer algebras (in characteristic 0)

 


 

Michel Duflo A functorial point of view on Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem

 

Let L be a Lie algebra (or a Lie super-algebra) over a commutative ring R. The PBW theorems provide, under suitable hypotheses, isomorphisms of coalgebras between the symmetric algebra and the enveloping algebra of L. In this lecture, I consider some  functorial aspects, and some explicit formulas, for these isomorphisms.

 


 

Florence Fauquant-Millet Semi-centre of parabolic subalgebras

 

This is joint work with Anthony Joseph. Let g be a complex semisimple Lie algebra and p a parabolic subalgebra of g. We will consider the semicentre of the symmetric algebra of p (vector space generated by semi-invariants) and show, when g is a product of simple Lie algebras of type A or C , that this semicentre is a polynomial algebra of which the number of generators, their weight and degree will be described. Unfortunately, a more precise description of each semi-invariant is not yet available, except in particular cases.


 

Hanspeter Kraft The linearization problem: old and new

 

 

The linearization problem asks if an action of a reductive algebraic group on complex affine $n$-space is equivalent to a linear representation. The first counterexamples were given by G. W. Schwarz in 1989; they initiated a very interesting development. We will recall some highlights and describe some recent developments, in particular in the study of families of group actions. As an application we have recently shown that every faithful action on affine $3$-space of a non-finite reductive group is linearizable.


 

Nolan Wallach A tale of four simple groups over the reals

 

We consider the four real rank 4 exceptional quaternionic Lie groups. These groups naturally correspond to the four (skew) fields over the reals (the reals, complexes, quaternions and octonians). In this talk we examine a uniform family of subgroups of these groups and related theorems in representation theory and geometry forming a triptych to much of the speaker's research.
