Let an affine Weyl group Ŵ act as a group of affine transformations on a real vector space V . We analyze the Ŵ -orbit of a regular element in V and deduce applications to Kostant’s formula for powers of the Euler product and to the representations of Ŵ as permutations of the integers.

In this thesis, I present an associative diagram algebra that is a faithful representation of a particular Temperley–Lieb algebra of type affine C, which has a basis indexed by the fully commutative elements of the Coxeter group of the same type. The Coxeter group of type affine C contains an infinite number of fully commutative elements, and so the corresponding Temperley–Lieb algebra is of in...

We prove that the Lam-Shimozono “down operator” on the affine Weyl group induces a derivation of the affine Fomin-Stanley subalgebra of the affine nilCoxeter algebra. We use this to verify a conjecture of Berg, Bergeron, Pon and Zabrocki describing the expansion of k-Schur functions of “near rectangles” in the affine nilCoxeter algebra. Consequently, we obtain a combinatorial interpretation of ...

Using a classical result on algebraic invariants of the unimodular group, we present in this paper some basic geometric affine invariant quantities, and we use them to construct some distinctive descriptors for object detection. Although full affine invariance cannot be guaranteed due to noncommutativity of camera blur with affine maps and the domain problem (that is, the difficulty of finding ...

We develop the foundations of the deformation theory of compact complete affine space forms and affine crystallographic groups. Using methods from the theory of linear algebraic groups we show that these deformation spaces inherit an algebraic structure from the space of crystallographic homomorphisms. We also study the properties of the action of the homotopy mapping class groups on deformatio...

ABSTIUCT In our previous work, we introduced a new class of nonstationary stochastic processes whose spectral representation is associated with the wavelet transforms and established a mathematical framework for the analysis of such processes 111. We refer to these processes as uffine stptionary processes. These processes are indexed by the affine p u p , or ax+b group, which can be though of a...

This note was inspired by a colloquium talk given by S. S. Abhyankar at the Tata Institute, on the work of Abhyankar, Popp and Seiler (see [2]). It was pointed out in this talk that classical modular curves can be used to construct (by specialization) coverings of the affine line in positive characteristic. In this “modular” optic it seemed natural to consider Drinfel’d modular curves for const...

Affine difference algebraic groups are a generalization of affine obtained by replacing equations with equations. We show that the isomorphism theorems from abstract group theory have meaningful analogs for these and we establish Jordan–Hölder type theorem allows us to decompose any into almost-simple groups. also characterize via

This study is concerned with the uncertainty principles which are related to the Weyl-Heisenberg, the SIM(2) and the Affine groups. A general theorem which associates an uncertainty principle to a pair of self-adjoint operators was previously used in finding the minimizers of the uncertainty principles related to various groups, e.g., the one and twodimensional Weyl-Heisenberg groups, the one-d...
