We investigate the rate of growth of the function of n which counts the number of complex irreducible representations of a fixed group of degree less than or equal to n. The emphasis is on linear groups, especially compact real and p-adic…

Let $\Fth$ be a $\Bk$-graph on a single vertex. We show that every irreducible atomic $*$-representation is the minimal $*$-dilation of a group construction representation. It follows that every atomic representation decomposes as a direct…

We develop the theory of maximal representations of the fundamental group of a compact connected oriented surface with boundary, into a group of Hermitian type. For any such representation we define the Toledo invariant, for which we…

We present a conjectured formula for the representation zeta function of the Heisenberg group over $\mathcal{O}[x]/(x^n)$ where $\mathcal{O}$ is the ring of integers of some number field. We confirm the conjecture for $n\leq 3$ and raise…

The orthosymplectic supergroup OSp(m|2n) and unitary supergroup U(p|q) are studied following a new approach that starts from Harish-Chandra pairs and links the sheaf-theoretical supermanifold approach of Berezin and others with the…

Let $G$ be a real reductive group in Harish-Chandra's class. We derive some consequences of theory of coherent continuation representations to the counting of irreducible representations of $G$ with a given infinitesimal character and a…

Let G be a connected reductive group over a non-archimedean local field K, and assume that G splits over an unramified extension of K. We establish a local Langlands correspondence for irreducible unipotent representations of G. It comes as…

We prove the following version of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every alpha>0 there exists a number M such that for every k>M every n-vertex graph G with at least (0.5+alpha)n vertices of degree at least (1+alpha)k contains each tree…

The representation dimension of a finite group $G$ is the minimal dimension of a faithful complex linear representation of $G$. We prove that the representation dimension of any finite group $G$ is at most $\sqrt{|G|}$ except if $G$ is a…

In previous work, the authors established various bounds for the dimensions of degree $n$ cohomology and $\Ext$-groups, for irreducible modules of semisimple algebraic groups $G$ (in positive characteristic $p$) and (Lusztig) quantum groups…

This work can be thought as a contribution to the model theory of group extensions. We study the groups G which are interpretable in the disjoint union of two structures (seen as a two-sorted structure). We show that if one of the two…

An irreducible smooth representation of a $p$-adic group $G$ is said to be distinguished with respect to a subgroup $H$ if it admits a non-trivial $H$-invariant linear form. When $H$ is the fixed group of an involution on $G$ it is…

Let $\text{GL}(n) = \text{GL}(n, {\mathbb C})$ denote the complex general linear group and let $G \subset \text{GL}(n)$ be one of the classical complex subgroups $\text{O}(n)$, $\text{SO}(n)$, and $\text{Sp}(2k)$ (in the case $n = 2k$). We…

Inspired by Vershik and Okounkov's inductive and Lie-theoretic approach to the representation theory of the symmetric group, we extend their point of view to reducible $S_n$-modules. Using induced representations along Young's lattice, we…

Let $G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group by an arithmetic lattice. We show that for reductive subgroups $H$ of $G$ that is large enough, the orbits of $H$ on $G/\Gamma$ intersect nontrivially with a fixed compact set. As a…

Let X = S \oplus G, where S is a countable abelian semigroup and G is a countably infinite abelian group such that {2g : g in G} is infinite. Let pi: X \to G be the projection map defined by pi(s,g) = g for all x =(s,g) in X. Let f:X \to…

We study a class of representations of the Cuntz algebras O_N, N=2,3,..., acting on L^2(T) where T=R/2\pi Z. The representations arise in wavelet theory, but are of independent interest. We find and describe the decomposition into…

We study a family of complex representations of the group GL(n,O), where O is the ring of integers of a non-archimedean local field F. These representations occur in the restriction of the Grassmann representation of GL(n,F) to its maximal…

Let G be a connected reductive group over a field of characteristic zero, and consider an orthogonal representation of G. We give a simple criterion for whether the representation lifts to the spin group, in terms of the highest weights of…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive algebraic group. In arXiv:2108.03453, we have defined a finite set of irreducible admissible representations of $G$ called `unipotent representations', generalizing the special unipotent representations of…
