Uladzimir Shtukar, NC Central University, “Canonical bases, subalgebras, reductive pairs of Lie algebras, and possible applications”

SAS 4201

Subalgebras of Lie algebra of Lorentz group will be discussed as the basic examples at the beginning of the report. The corresponding analysis is performed by canonical bases for subspaces of a vector space. All canonical bases for 5-dimensional and 4-dimensional subspaces of a 6-dimensional vector space are found, and they are utilized to find…

Jamie Pommersheim, Reed College, “Euler-Maclaurin summation formulas for polytopes”

SAS 4201

Discovered in the 1730s, the classical Euler-Maclaurin formula may be viewed as a formula for summing the values of a function over the lattice points in a one-dimensional polytope. Several years ago, Berline and Vergne generalized this formula to polytopes of arbitrary dimension, obtaining a formula for the sum of a polynomial function over the…
