Semi-direct products of finite groups have permutation representations that are constructed from the permutation representations of their constituents. One can envision these in a metaphoric sense in which a rope is made from a bundle of…

For a certain class of finite posets, we prove that all their irreducible orthoscalar representations are finite-dimensional and describe those, for which there exist essential (non-degenerate) irreducible orthoscalar representations.

We prove that every finite dimensional representation of a finite group over a field of characteristic p admits a finite resolution by p-permutation modules. The proof involves a reformulation in terms of derived categories.

We investigate the braid group representations arising from categories of representations of twisted quantum doubles of finite groups. For these categories, we show that the resulting braid group representations always factor through finite…

We consider selfinjective Artin algebras whose cohomology groups are finitely generated over a central ring of cohomology operators. For such an algebra, we show that the representation dimension is strictly greater than the maximal…

The goal of this mostly expository paper is to present several candidates for hyperbolic structures on irreducible Artin-Tits groups of spherical type and to elucidate some relations between them. Most constructions are algebraic analogues…

We define the braid groups of a two-dimensional orbifold and introduce conventions for drawing braid pictures. We use these to realize the Artin groups associated to the spherical Coxeter diagrams A_n, B_n=C_n and D_n and the affine…

Let G = Aut(T) be the automorphism group of a regular tree T. We study continuous irreducible representations of G that preserve a continuous strongly nondegenerate sesquilinear form of finite index on a Hilbert space. These are already…

We show that any twisted Dijkgraaf-Witten representation of a mapping class group of an orientable, compact surface with boundary has finite image. This generalizes work of Etingof, Rowell and Witherspoon showing that the braid group images…

We give parameterizations of the irreducible representations of finite groups of Lie type in their defining characteristic.

In this paper, we investigate finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum affine general linear superalgebra $\mathrm{U}_q\big(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}_{m|n,\mathbf{s}}\big)$ for arbitrary 01-sequences $\mathbf{s}$, using…

In this note we give a complete classification of all indecomposable yet reducible representations of $B_3$ for dimensions $2$ and $3$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ with characteristic $0$, up to equivalence. We illustrate their…

The aim of the present survey paper is to provide an accessible introduction to a new chapter of representation theory - harmonic analysis for noncommutative groups with infinite-dimensional dual space. I omitted detailed proofs but tried…

We determine the smallest irreducible Brauer characters for finite quasi-simple orthogonal type groups in non-defining characteristic. Under some restrictions on the characteristic we also prove a gap result showing that the next larger…

We study representations of the braid groups from braiding gapped boundaries of Dijkgraaf-Witten theories and their twisted generalizations, which are (twisted) quantum doubled topological orders in two spatial dimensions. We show that the…

We study the complex irreducible representations of special linear, symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups over principal ideal local rings of length two. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible representations of…

To a finite group $G$, one can associate several notions of dimensions (or degrees). In this survey, we attempt to bring together some of the notions of dimensions or degrees defined using representations of the group in General Linear…

From a group $H$ and a non-trivial element $h$ of $H$, we define a representation $\rho: B_n \to \Aut(G)$, where $B_n$ denotes the braid group on $n$ strands, and $G$ denotes the free product of $n$ copies of $H$. Such a representation…

We classify the irreducible projective representations of symmetric and alternating groups of minimal possible and second minimal possible dimensions, and get a lower bound for the third minimal dimension. On the way we obtain some new…

We prove a characterization of monomial projective representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We also characterize polycyclic groups whose projective representations are finite dimensional.
