Free Divisors in Prehomogeneous Vector Spaces

We study linear free divisors, that is, free divisors arising as discriminants in prehomogeneous vector spaces, and in particular in quiver representation spaces. We give a characterization of the prehomogeneous vector spaces containing such linear free divisors. For reductive linear free divisors, we prove that the numbers of geometric and representation theoretic irreducible components coinci...

COMPUTATION OF CHARACTER SUMS AND APPLICATIONS TO PREHOMOGENEOUS VECTOR SPACES 1 with an appendix ” L - FUNCTIONS OF PREHOMOGENEOUS VECTOR SPACES

For an arbitrary number field K with ring of integers OK , we prove an analogue over finite rings of the form OK/p of the Fundamental Theorem on the Fourier transform of a relative invariant of prehomogeneous vector spaces, where p is a big enough prime ideal of OK and m > 1. In the appendix, F. Sato gives an application of the Theorems 1.2 and 1.5 (and Theorems A, B, C in [4]) to the functiona...

Relative invariants of some 2-simple prehomogeneous vector spaces

In this paper, we shall construct explicitly irreducible relative invariants of two 2-simple prehomogeneous vector spaces. Together with a preprint by the same authors, this completes the list of all relative invariants of regular 2-simple prehomogeneous vector spaces of type I.

Ergodic Theory of G - Spaces

Let D be a uniform discrete subgroup of a simply connected, connected nilpotent Lie group (i.e. N D N D ... DN D N = e,N = [N,N*] andN/Dis compact). There is a unique normalised "Haar" measure m on N/D which is preserved by left translations. Let A ; N -> N, AD C D be an automorphism and let a E N. Then T(xD) = aAxD is called an affine transformation of the nilmanifold N/D. If etEN is a one-par...
