Viewing Kan complexes as $\infty$-groupoids implies that pointed and connected Kan complexes are to be viewed as $\infty$-groups. A fundamental question is then: to what extent can one "do group theory" with these objects? In this paper we…

We interpret certain equivariant Kasparov groups as equivariant representable K-theory groups. We compute these groups via a classifying space and as K-theory groups of suitable sigma-C*-algebras. We also relate equivariant vector bundles…

It is shown that for a subset $A\subset\R^n$ that has the global Gabrielov property, a Vitushkin-type estimate holds. Concrete examples are given for sub-level sets of certain classes of functions.

In this article, we give a natural geometric interpretation of Kirillov's conjecture for tempered representations in the framework of orbit method. This interpretation can also be considered as a first generalization of Duflo's conjecture…

We study the representations of the quantum Galilei group by a suitable generalization of the Kirillov method on spaces of non commutative functions. On these spaces we determine a quasi-invariant measure with respect to the action of the…

We establish analogues of Hardy's theorem for Gabor transform on locally compact abelian groups, Euclidean motion group and several general classes of nilpotent Lie groups which include Heisenberg groups, thread-like nilpotent Lie groups,…

We introduce the abstract concept of supernilpotence in loop theory, and relate it to existing concepts, namely, central nilpotence and nilpotence of the multiplication group. We prove that the class of supernilpotence is greater or equal…

We develop a semigroup approach to representation theory for pro-Lie groups satisfying suitable amenability conditions. As an application of our approach, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of unitary…

We establish a surprising correspondence between groups definable in o-minimal structures and linear algebraic groups, in the nilpotent case. It turns out that in the o-minimal context, like for finite groups, nilpotency is equivalent to…

In this article we deduce an analogue of Quillen's Local-Global Principle for the elementary subgroup of the general quadratic group and the hermitian group. We show that the unstable K_1-groups of the hermitian groups are nilpotent by…

Let $G$ be a finite group. In this short note, we give a criterion of nilpotency of $G$ based on the existence of elements of certain order in each section of $G$.

In this paper we generalize the definition of a multilinear map to arbitrary groups and develop a novel idea of multilinear cryptosystem using nilpotent group identities.

In an earlier paper, we gave an abstract formulation of a theorem of Sierpi\'nski in uncountable commutative groups. In this paper, we prove a result which generalizes the earlier formulation.

We show that a compact representation of a semisimple Lie group has an orthogonal decomposition into finite length representations. This generalises and simplifies a number of more special spectral theorems in the literature. We apply it to…

This is an overview article on compact Lie groups and their representations, written for the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics to be published by Elsevier.

We survey some aspects of the pseudo-differential Weyl calculus for irreducible unitary representations of nilpotent Lie groups, ranging from the classical ideas to recently obtained results. The classical Weyl-H\"ormander calculus is…

In this paper we review and streamline some results of Kirillov, Olshanski and Pickrell on unitary representations of the unitary group $\U(\cH)$ of a real, complex or quaternionic separable Hilbert space and the subgroup $\U_\infty(\cH)$,…

We continue the study of glider representations of finite groups $G$ with given structure chain of subgroups $e \subset G_1 \subset \ldots \subset G_d = G$. We give a characterization of irreducible gliders of essential length $e \leq d$…

In this paper we prove characterizations of $p$-nilpotency for fusion systems and $p$-local finite groups that are inspired by results in the literature for finite groups. In particular, we generalize criteria by Atiyah, Brunetti,…

We develop a generalized Floquet-Bloch theory for discrete torsion-free nilpotent groups by exploiting their Malcev completions. Our main result is a branching formula that relates finite-dimensional representations of a discrete nilpotent…
