Abstract

We give a short, case-free and combinatorial proof of de Concini and Procesi's formula for the volume of the simplicial cone spanned by the simple roots of any finite root system. The argument presented here also extends their formula to include the non-crystallographic root systems.

Projection formulas and a refinement of Schur--Weyl--Jones duality for symmetric groups

Schur--Weyl--Jones duality establishes the connection between the commuting actions of the symmetric group $S_{n}$ and the partition algebra $P_{k}(n)$ on the tensor space $\left(\mathbb{C}^n\right)^{\otimes k}.$ We use a refinement of this considered first by Littlewood and later, by Sam and Snowden, whereby there is a version of Schur--Weyl duality for the symmetric groups $S_{n}$ and $S_{k}$ acting on a subspace of $\left(\mathbb{C}^n\right)^{\otimes k}$. We obtain an explicit formula for the orthogonal projection from $\left(\mathbb{C}^n\right)^{\otimes k}$ to each irreducible subrepresentation, yielding a new combinatorial approach to computing stable irreducible characters of the symmetric group.

On the twisted Osborne conjecture

We aim to prove a twisted version of the Osborne conjecture. The untwisted case was proved by Hecht and Schmid in their 1983 Acta Mathematica paper. Bergeron and Clozel (2013) have considered a special case, and we generalize their method to our setting.

On the full set of unitarizable supermodules over $\mathfrak{sl}(m\vert n)$

We classify all simple unitarizable supermodules over special linear Lie superalgebras using the algebraic Dirac operator introduced by Huang and Pandžić and the associated Dirac inequalities. The same argument treats finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional supermodules without requiring explicit realizations or complete branching rules.
