On the realization of the Gelfand Character of a finite group as a twisted trace

We show that the Gelfand character $ χ_G$ of a finite group $G $ (i.e. the sum of all irreducible complex characters of $G$ ) may be realized as a `` twisted trace'' $ g \mapsto Tr( ρ_g \circ T) $ for a suitable involutive linear automorphism $T$ of $L^2(G)$, where $(L^2(G), ρ)$ is the right regular representation of $G$. Moreover, we prove that under certain hypotheses $T(f)= f \circ L \;\; (f \in L^2(G)), $ where $ L $ is an involutive antiautomorphism of $ G.$ The natural representation $τ$ of $G$ associated to the natural $L$-conjugacy action of $G$ in the fixed point set $Fix_G(L)$ of $L$ turns out to be a Gelfand Model for $G$ in some cases. We show that $(L^2(Fix_G(L)), τ) $ fails to be a Gelfand Model if $G$ admits non trivial central involutions.

Groupoids, Geometric Induction and Gelfand Models

In this paper we introduce an intrinsic version of the classical induction of representations for a subgroup $H$ of a (finite) group $G$, called here {\em geometric induction}, which associates to any, not necessarily transitive, $G$-set $X$ and any representation of the action groupoid $A(G,X)$ associated to $G$ and $X$, a representation of the group $G$. We show that geometric induction, applied to one dimensional characters of the action groupoid of a suitable $G$-set $X$ affords a Gelfand Model for $G$ in the case where $G$ is either the symmetric group or the projective general linear group of rank $2$.

Designing anti-cancer drugs and directing anti-cancer therapy

A prototype for a web application was designed and implemented as a guide to be used by clinicians when designing the best drug therapy for a specific cancer patient, given biological data derived from the patients tumor tissue biopsy. A representation of the patients metabolic pathways is displayed as a graph in the application, with nodes as substrates and products and edges as enzymes. The top metabolically active sub- paths in the pathway, ranked using an algorithm based on both the patients biological data and the graph topology, are also displayed and can be individually highlighted to examine potential enzymatic sites to be disrupted by a drug.

On Generalized Weil Representations over Involutive Rings

We construct via generators and relations, generalized Weil representations for analogues of classical $SL(2,k), k$ a field, over involutive base rings $(A, \ast).$ This family of groups covers different kinds of groups, classical and non classical. We give some examples that include symplectic groups as well as non classical groups like $SL_\ast(2,A_m), $ where $A_m$ is the finite modular analogue of the algebra of real m-jets in one dimension with its canonical involutive symmetry.

Geometric Weil representations for star-analogues of SL(2,k)

We present here an elementary geometric approach to the construction of Weil representations of the star-analogues $SL_\ast(2,A), A$ a ring or algebra with involution $\ast$, of the group SL(2, k), k a field, reminiscent of the quantum groups $SL_q(2,A)$. We review as well the elementary construction of Weil representations for these groups via generators and relations, which uses the Bruhat presentation available in many cases. We compare the representations obtained by both methods in the non - classical case of the finite truncated polynomial algebra $A_m$ of degree $m$ with its canonical involution and obtain the analogue of the Maslov Index in this case.

Harmonic Analysis on the Finite Twisted Poincaré Upper Half Plane

We prove that the induced representation from a non trivial character of the Coxeter torus of GL$(2,F)$, for a finite field $F$, is multiplicity-free; we give an explicit description of the corresponding (twisted) spherical functions and a version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

Construction géometrique de representations de Weil sur un corps fini

We construct, by contraction of a suitable complex vector bundle, the Weil representation of the finite symplectic group $Sp(A)$. We give an explicit description of the space of all lagrangian subspaces, which we use to compute the cocycle of our representation in terms of a geometric Gauss sum. We recover in this way previously constructed generalized Weil representations (see \cite{ast,cor}) by restriction of our representation to an appropiate embedding of $SL(n) $ into $Sp(A)$.
