Following the generalization of the notion of families of characters, defined by Lusztig for Weyl groups, to the case of complex reflection groups, thanks to the definition given by Rouquier, we show that the degree and the valuation of the Schur elements ...
The first part of this thesis studies the problem of symmetry breaking in the context of simple mechanical systems with compact symmetry Lie group G. In this part we shall assume that the principal stratum of the G-action on the configuration space Q of a ...
Let g be a nilpotent Lie algebra (of finite dimension n over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero) and let Der(g) be the algebra of derivations of g. The system of weights of g is defined as being that of the standard representation of a "m ...
