Abstract

We develop the general theory of Lie algebras in symmetric tensor categories. We prove categorical versions of classical results such as Engel's theorem, Cartan's criterion, and that all derivations of a strongly semisimple Lie algebra are inner. For finite-dimensional graded Lie algebras, we construct a graded category $\mathcal{O}$, classify its graded-simple objects, and prove the generic graded irreducibility of Verma modules. Lastly, we develop the theory of root systems for contragredient Lie algebras.

Representing Vineyard Modules

Time-series of persistence diagrams, more commonly known as vineyards, are a useful way to capture how multi-scale topological features vary over time. However, we do lose significant information in how the persistent homology at different time stamps relate to each other. A natural algebraic version of vineyards is a time series of persistence modules equipped with interleaving maps between the persistence modules at different time stamps. We call this a vineyard module. In this paper we will set up the framework for representing a vineyard module via an indexed set of vines alongside a collection of matrices. We outline an algorithmic way to transform the bases of the persistence modules at each time step within the vineyard module to make the matrices within this representation as simple as possible. With some reasonable assumptions on the vineyard modules, this simplified representation can be completely described (up to isomorphism) by the associated vineyard and a vector of finite length. While this vineyard and vector representation is not necessarily unique we can prove that the vector will always be the zero vector when the vineyard module is isomorphic to the direct sum of vine modules. We also show uniqueness when the vineyard module contains two vines (over field $\mathbb{F}_2$) and can characterise and count which are realisable, giving a complete account of isomorphism classes of vineyard modules with two vines. To define and analyse this approach we first must set up a lot of preliminary results about changes of bases for pairs of persistence modules where we are given $\varepsilon$-interleaving maps for sufficiently close $\varepsilon$. This new perspective on vineyards also provides a new approach to the study of multi-parameter persistence modules.

Generic distinction of induced representations: the case of symmetric spaces

Let H be the fixed-point subgroup of an involution of a reductive group G over a local field F of characteristic zero. We give a necessary condition for a parabolically induced representation of G(F) to admit a non-zero family of H(F)-equivariant linear forms depending holomorphically on the induction parameter. By works of Blanc-Delorme and Brylinski-Delorme, this condition is essentially sufficient. As a global consequence, we obtain vanishing results for regularized periods of Eisenstein series. We illustrate this on symplectic periods, where we extend Offen's computation of truncated periods of certain cuspidal Eisenstein series to inner forms of GL(2n).

Affine diagram categories, algebras and monoids

We introduce and study several affine (=annular in this paper) versions of the classical diagram algebras such as Temperley-Lieb, partition, Brauer, Motzkin, rook Brauer, rook, planar partition, and planar rook algebras. We give generators and relation presentation for them and their associated categories, study their representation theory, and the asymptotic behavior of tensor products of their representations in the monoid case. Under a mild hypothesis, we also prove a previous conjecture concerning the asymptotic growth of the number of indecomposable summands in the tensor powers of representations for finite monoids.
