We introduce the spin Hecke algebra, which is a q-deformation of the spin symmetric group algebra, and its affine generalization. We establish an algebra isomorphism which relates our spin (affine) Hecke algebras to the (affine) Hecke-Clifford algebras of Olshanski and Jones-Nazarov. Relation between the spin (affine) Hecke algebra and a nonstandard presentation of the usual (affine) Hecke alge...

A differential invariant is a function defined on the jet space of functions that remains the same under a group action. It is an important concept to solve the equivalence problem. This paper presents an effective method to derive a special type of affine differential invariants. Given some functions defined on the plane and an affine group acting on the plane, there are induced actions of the...

We study the Cox realization of an affine variety, i.e., a canonical representation of a normal affine variety with finitely generated divisor class group as a quotient of a factorially graded affine variety by an action of the Neron-Severi quasitorus. The realization is described explicitly for the quotient space of a linear action of a finite group. A universal property of this realization is...

Let G be a connected reductive group. To any irreducible G-variety one associates a certain linear group generated by reflections called the Weyl group. Weyl groups play an important role in the study of embeddings of homogeneous spaces. We establish algorithms for computing Weyl groups for homogeneous spaces and affine homogeneous vector bundles. For some special classes of G-varieties (affine...

An affine manifold is a differentiable manifold together with an atlas of coordinate charts whose coordinate changes extend to affine automorphisms of Euclidean space. These charts are called atline coordinates. A map between affine manifolds is called affine it its expression in affine coordinates is the restriction of an aftine map between vector spaces. Thus we form the category of affine ma...

The patterns of scientific collaboration have been frequently investigated in terms of complex networks without reference to time evolution. In the present work, we derive collaborative networks (from the arXiv repository) parameterized along time. By defining the concept of affine group, we identify several interesting trends in scientific collaboration, including the fact that the average siz...

We define affine pseudo-planes as one class of Q-homology planes. It is shown that there exists an infinite-dimensional family of non-isomorphic affine pseudo-planes which become isomorphic to each other by taking products with the affine line A1. Moreover, we show that there exists an infinitedimensional family of the universal coverings of affine pseudo-planes with a cyclic group acting as th...

We construct the family of spin chain Hamiltonians, which have affine U q g guantum group symmetry. Their eigenvalues coincides with the eigenvalues of the usual spin chain Hamiltonians which have non-affine U q g 0 quantum group symmetry, but have the degeneracy of levels, corresponding to affine U q g. The space of states of these chaines are formed by the tensor product of the fully reducibl...

Conditions are given under which an infinitesimal automorphism of a torsion-free connection preserving a symplectic form is necessarily a symplectic vector field. An example is given of a compact symplectic nilmanifold admitting a flat symplectic connection and an infinitesimal automorphism that is not symplectic. On a symplectic manifold (M,Ω), a symplectic connection is a torsion-free affine ...
