I like quantum groups, representation theory, noncommutative algebra, and homological algebra, mainly in the context of noncommutative geometry.

comment Is there an analogue of spin/oscillator representation for the general linear Lie algebra?
Steven, what properties of the spin/oscillator representations are you trying to generalize? And what properties of the Clifford/Weyl algebras?

comment $C_c^{\infty}([0,T];V)$ is dense in $C_c^{1}([0,T];V)$?
Isn't it superfluous to require compact support, given that the domain is a compact interval?

comment Quotient of Lie rings and quotient of Lie groups!
I think this still needs to be clarified. Take $g$ to be a Lie algebra, $I \subseteq g$ an ideal. Are you asking whether $U(I)$ (the universal enveloping algebra of $I$) is an ideal in the universal enveloping algebra $U(g)$?

I don't understand your question. What quotient ring do you mean? What does a Lie group have to do with anything?

comment Criterion for nilradical of a maximal parabolic subalgebra to be abelian?
I should say that some people refer to this property by saying that $\mathfrak{p}$ is of cominuscule type. It is related to the property of minusculity, but is not quite the same. See the beginning of Chapter 9 of Billey and Lakshmibai, Singular Loci of Schubert Varieties for a little more information on that connection.

FYI, you should use \langle and \rangle rather than < and >, as they are interpreted differently by the formatting engine.

This should probably be community wiki, as you are asking for a list, rather than a single correct answer. You also accepted an answer pretty quickly!

comment Analogy between the exterior power and the power set
By $P_n(X)$ do you mean the set of $n$-element subsets? In that case your first identity holds only when $X$ is finite, while $\Lambda(M)$ makes sense for $M$ of any dimension and has the decomposition that you give. Interesting question!

comment differential form with empty zero locus
Do you want to add some more restrictions? I mean, for general dimension $n$, can't you just take your complex manifold to be $\mathbb{C}^n$ and just choose some constant nonvanishing form?

comment Coercive Symmetric Bilinear form on a Hilbert space
When you say "the union of $P$ with a one-dimensional subspace", do you mean the (closed) subspace that they generate? The union of two subspaces is not generally a subspace. And is your Hilbert space real or complex?

Sorry, link to Iwahori-Hecke algebra isn't working. The wiki page has a long dash in the title which seems to make copy/paste not work properly. But if you click the link I put there it will take you to the disambiguation page for "Hecke algebra", which has a link to the page for Iwahori-Hecke algebras.

comment what is a spinor structure?
@Dmitri, that's a nice way of looking at it. As I said, I was just giving a brief summary of the basic idea presented in the reference that I listed.

comment what is a spinor structure?
@Dmitri: You're correct, I was being a bit imprecise here. As Branimir points out, one should use the even sub-bundle of the Clifford bundle in case $M$ is odd-dimensional, and there are other considerations as well. OP asked for a reference, so I was just briefly summarizing.

comment Riemannian Geometry Introductory Text
I agree that this is a great book. But beware that the first edition (the only one available right now, although apparently a second one is in progress) has a fair number of errors. Fortunately you can find the errata available here: math.washington.edu/~lee/Books/riemannian.html at Lee's website.
