We classify the finite-dimensional irreducible linear representations of the Baumslag-Solitar groups BS(p,q) = < a, b | a b^p = b^q a > for relatively prime p and q. The general strategy of the argument is to consider the matrix group given…

We obtain a presentation for the singular part of the Brauer monoid with respect to an irreducible system of generators, consisting of idempotents. As an application of this result we get a new construction of the symmetric group via…

It is proved that each of compact linear groups of one special type admits a polynomial factorization map onto a real vector space. More exactly, the group is supposed to be non-commutative one-dimensional and to have two connected…

We show the irreducibility of some unitary representations of the group of symplectomorphisms and the group of contactomorphisms.

There are 6 types of 2-dimensional representations in general. For any groups and any monoids, we can construct the moduli of 2-dimensional representations for each type: the moduli of absolutely irreducible representations, representations…

It is shown that the finite-dimensional simple representations of the super Jordan plane $B$ are one-dimensional. The indecomposable representations of dimension $2$ and $3$ of $B$ are classified. Two families of indecomposable…

We define basic notions in the category of conic representations of a topological group and prove elementary facts about them. We show that a conic representation determines an ordinary dynamical system of the group together with a…

We classify irreducible representations of the special linear groups in positive characteristic with small weight multiplicities with respect to the group rank and give estimates for the maximal weight multiplicities. For the natural…

In the present paper the representation of the virtual braid group $VB_n$ into the automorphism group of free product of the free group and free abelian group is constructed. This representation generalizes the previously constructed ones.…

We introduce a strategy to study irreducible representations of automorphism groups of finite modules over local rings. We prove that these automorphism groups fit in a hierarchy that facilitates a stratification of their irreducible…

We use some Lie group theory and Budney's unitarization of the Lawrence-Krammer representation, to prove that for generic parameters of definite form the image of the representation (also on certain types of subgroups) is dense in the…

We prove a new formula for the generating function of polynomials counting absolutely stable representations of quivers over finite fields. The case of irreducible representations is studied in more detail.

Exploiting particular features of classical groups, simple constructions are given for the irreducible constituents of the tensor square of the adjoint modules and the leading terms in higher tensor powers. This provides an independent…

We develop the representation theory of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary commutative semiring with unit, in particular classifying the irreducible and minimal representations. The results for an arbitrary semiring are as good as the…

Governed by locality, we explore a connection between unitary braid group representations associated to a unitary $R$-matrix and to a simple object in a unitary braided fusion category. Unitary $R$-matrices, namely unitary solutions to the…

In this paper, we generalize the principle of the Long-Moody construction for representations of braid groups to other groups, such as mapping class groups of surfaces. Namely, we introduce endofunctors over a functor category that encodes…

Let $A$ be a ring with $1\neq 0$, not necessarily finite, endowed with an involution~$*$, that is, an anti-automorphism of order $\leq 2$. Let $H_n(A)$ be the additive group of all $n\times n$ hermitian matrices over $A$ relative to $*$.…

We provide a characterization for multitwists satisfying the braid relation in the mapping class group of an orientable surface.

We examine various consequences of the existence of exceptional representations of an irreducible Weyl group. (These are notes from a talk in the MIT Lie groups seminar.)

Construction of representations of braid group generators from $N$-state vertex models provide an elegant route to study knot and link invariants. Using such a braid group representation, an algebraic formula for the link invariants was put…
