Let F be a non-archimedean local field and let O be its ring of integers. We give a complete description of the irreducible constituents of the restriction of the unramified principal series representations of GL(3,F) to GL(3,O).

For a commutative ring R with many units, we describe the kernel of H_3(inc): H_3(GL_2(R), Z) --> H_3(GL_3(R), Z). Moreover we show that the elements of this kernel are of order at most two. As an application we study the indecomposable…

We determine when a permutation with cycle type $\mu$ admits a non-zero invariant vector in the irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of the symmetric group. We find that a majority of pairs $(\lambda,\mu)$ have this property, with only a…

The work of Bernstein-Zelevinsky and Zelevinsky gives a good understanding of irreducible subquotients of a reducible principal series representation of $GL_n(F)$, $F$ a $p$-adic field (without specifying their multiplicities which is done…

Let ${\mathbb{F}_{q}}$ be the finite field of order $q$. Let $G$ be one of the three groups ${\rm GL}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$, ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ or ${\rm U}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ and let $W$ be the standard $n$-dimensional representation of…

We study the category of wheeled PROPs using tools from Invariant Theory. A typical example of a wheeled PROP is the mixed tensor algebra ${\mathcal V}=T(V)\otimes T(V^\star)$, where $T(V)$ is the tensor algebra on an $n$-dimensional vector…

A 2009 article of Allcock and Vaaler explored the $\mathbb Q$-vector space $\mathcal G := \overline{\mathbb Q}^\times/{\overline{\mathbb Q}^\times_{\mathrm{tors}}}$, showing how to represent it as part of a function space on the places of…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$, defined over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $k$. We say that a $G$-torsor is essentially finite if it admits a reduction to a finite…

Let G denote either a special orthogonal group or a symplectic group defined over the complex numbers. We prove the following saturation result for G: given dominant weights \lambda^1, ..., \lambda^r such that the tensor product…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of classifying feature vectors with mutually independent but non-identically distributed elements. First, we show the importance of this problem. Next, we propose a classifier and derive an…

We define a GL-variety to be a (typically infinite dimensional) algebraic variety equipped with an action of the infinite general linear group under which the coordinate ring forms a polynomial representation. Such varieties have been used…

To apply the Euler system method to a $p$-adic Galois representation $T$, one needs the existence of a $\sigma \in G_{\mathbb{Q}(\mu_{p^{\infty}})}$ such that $V/(\sigma-1)V$ is free of rank one over the coefficient ring: we say that such a…

Reflection and braid equations for rank two $q$-tensors are derived from the covariance properties of quantum vectors by using the $R$-matrix formalism.

Consider a finite-dimensional real vector space equipped with a finite group acting unitarily on it. We address the general problem of constructing Euclidean stable embeddings of the quotient space of orbits. Our approach is based on…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be either a simple linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic or a quantum group at a root of unity. We define new classes of indecomposable $\mathbf{G}$-modules, which we call…

We present pictorial means of distinguishing contravariant vectors (or simply vectors) from covariant vectors (or linear forms). When one depicts vector as the directed segment, then the pictorial image of a linear form is a family of…

We show that the Thurston norm of any irreducible 3-manifold can be detected using twisted Reidemeister torsions corresponding to integral representations and also corresponding to representations over finite fields. In particular our…

A permanental vector is a generalization of a vector with components that are squares of the components of a Gaussian vector, in the sense that the matrix that appears in the Laplace transform of the vector of Gaussian squares is not…

A connected Riemannian manifold M has constant vector curvature \epsilon, denoted by cvc(\epsilon), if every tangent vector v in TM lies in a 2-plane with sectional curvature \epsilon. By scaling the metric on M, we can always assume that…
