Abstract

We construct a path model for geometric crystals in the sense of Berenstein and Kazhdan. Our model is in every way similar to Littelmann's and tropicalizes to his path model. This paper lays the foundational material for a subsequent work where we examine the measure induced on geometric crystals by Brownian motion. If we call Berenstein and Kazhdan's realization of geometric crystals the group picture, we prove that the path model projects onto the group picture thanks to a morphism of crystals that restricts to an isomorphism on connected components. This projection is in fact the geometric analogue of the Robinson-Schensted correspondence and involves solving a left-invariant differential equation on the Borel subgroup. Moreover, we identify the geometric Pitman transform $\mathcal{T}_{w_0}$ introduced by Biane, Bougerol and O'Connell as the transform giving the path with highest weight, in the geometric crystal path model. This allows to prove a geometric version of Littelmann's independence theorem. The geometric Robinson-Schensted correspondence is detailed in a special section, because of its importance. Finally, we exhibit the Kashiwara and Sch\"utzenberger involutions in both the group picture and the path model. In an appendix, we explain how the left-invariant flow is related to the image of the Casimir element in Kostant's Whittaker model.

Quasi-Whittaker supermodules over Lie superalgebras

In this paper, we develop a general theory of quasi-Whittaker supermodules over Lie superalgebras induced from an arbitrary ideal. We determine the quasi-Whittaker vectors in universal supermodules, establish an irreducibility criterion, and classify several families of irreducible supermodules. The odd part produces a new irreducibility phenomenon absent from the Lie algebra setting. As applications, we determine all irreducible quasi-Whittaker supermodules over the $N=1$ super Schr\"odinger algebra and the $N=1$ $\frac{3}{2}$-conformal Galilei superalgebra, and over the complete spectrum-generating superalgebra in a special case.

Rankin--Selberg integrals of opposite conductor--one newforms

Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero and let $n\geq2$. For $r=n,n+1$, let $\Pi_r$ be an irreducible tempered representation of ${\rm GL}_r(F)$ of conductor one and with trivial central character. We evaluate the Rankin--Selberg integral of opposite newforms in $\Pi_{n+1}\times \Pi_n$ explicitly and show that its central value is nonzero. As an application, this implies a case of Disegni--Zhang's conjecture on the nonvanishing of local relative characters.

Obstructions to Jacobi-Finiteness of Quivers with Potentials

We show that Jacobi-finite potentials need not exist on finite $2$-acyclic quivers. Our main tool is a matrix-valued Golod--Shafarevich--Vinberg inequality for quotients of completed path algebras by finitely many, possibly nonhomogeneous, topological relations. Applied to cyclic derivatives, it yields a potential-dependent obstruction to the finite-dimensionality of completed Jacobian algebras. We then construct a purely quiver-level criterion excluding every Jacobi-finite potential on a given quiver, and exhibit a family of quivers for which every potential has an infinite-dimensional Jacobian algebra.
