The purpose of the present paper1 is to simplify the calculation of the Betti numbers of the simple compact Lie groups. For the unimodular group and the orthogonal group on a space of odd dimension the form of the Poincaré polynomial was correctly guessed by E. Cartan in 1929 (5, p. 183). The proof of his conjecture and its extension to the four classes of classical groups was given by L. Pontrjagin (13) using topological arguments and then by R. Brauer (2) using algebraic methods.

Canonical transformations (Bogoliubov transformations) for fermions with an infinite number of degrees of freedom are studied within a calculus of superanalysis. A continuous representation of the orthogonal group is constructed on a Grassmann module extension of the Fock space. The pull-back of these operators to the Fock space yields a unitary ray representation of the group that implements the Bogoliubov transformations.

AbstractLet Fq be a finite field with q elements, V an n-dimensional vector space over Fq and 𝒱 the projective space associated to V. Let G≤GLn(Fq) be a classical group and PG be the corresponding projective group. In this note we prove that if Fq (V )G is purely transcendental over Fq with homogeneous polynomial generators, then Fq (𝒱)PG is also purely transcendental over Fq. We compute explicitly the generators of Fq (𝒱)PG when G is the symplectic, unitary or orthogonal group.

If ρ(G) is a finite, real, orthogonal group of matrices acting on the real vector space V, then there is defined [5], by the action of ρ(G), a convex subset of the unit sphere in V called a fundamental region. When the unit sphere is covered by the images under ρ(G) of a fundamental region, we obtain a semi-regular figure.The group-theoretical problem in this kind of geometry is to find when the fundamental region is unique. In this paper we examine the subgroups, ρ(H), of ρ(G) with a view of finding what subspace, W of V consists of vectors held fixed by all the matrices of ρ(H). Any such subspace lies between two copies of a fundamental region and so contributes to a boundary of both. If enough of these boundaries might be found, the fundamental region would be completely described.
