An isomorphism between the group ring of a finite group and a ring of certain block diagonal matrices is established. The group ring $RG$ of a finite group $G$ is isomorphic to the set of {\em group ring matrices} over $R$. It is shown that…

In this article we generalize a classical result by Passman on primeness of unital strongly group graded rings to the class of nearly epsilon-strongly group graded rings which are not necessarily unital. Using this result, we obtain (i) a…

Methods for the design of physical parameterization schemes that possess certain invariance properties are discussed. These methods are based on different techniques of group classification and provide means to determine expressions for…

A collection of partial isometries whose range and initial projections satisfy a specified set of conditions often gives rise to a partial representation of a group. The C*-algebra generated by the partial isometries is thus a quotient of…

We study the matrix models $\pi:C(S_N^+)\to M_N(C(X))$ which are flat, in the sense that the standard generators of $C(S_N^+)$ are mapped to rank 1 projections. Our first result is a generalization of the Pauli matrix construction at $N=4$,…

Let G be a linear Lie group. We define the G-reducibility of a continuous or discrete cocycle modulo N. We show that a G-valued continuous or discrete cocycle which is GL(n,C)-reducible is in fact G-reducible modulo 2 if…

Some new results on metric ultraproducts of finite simple groups are presented. Suppose that G is such a group, defined in terms of a non-principal ultrafilter {\omega} on N and a sequence {(G_i)_{i \in N}} of finite simple groups, and that…

Linear systems on Lie groups are a natural generalization of linear system on Euclidian spaces. For such systems, this paper studies the properties of the maximal sets of approximate controllability.

Young diagrams are ubiquitous in combinatorics and representation theory. Here we explain these diagrams, focusing on how they are used to classify representations of the symmetric groups $S_n$ and various "classical groups": famous groups…

We characterize positive definiteness for some family of matrices. As an application we derive explicit value of the quadratic embedding constants of the path graphs.

We study conditions under which subdirect products of various types of algebraic structures are finitely generated or finitely presented. In the case of two factors, we prove general results for arbitrary congruence permutable varieties,…

Every finitely generated self-similar group naturally produces an infinite sequence of finite $d$-regular graphs $\Gamma_n$. We construct self-similar groups, whose graphs $\Gamma_n$ can be represented as an iterated zig-zag product and…

Let $V$ be a $GL_n(\mathbb{R})$-distinguished, irreducible, admissible representation of $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$. We prove that any continuous linear functional on $V$, which is invariant under the action of the real mirabolic subgroup, is…

We study here the space of representations of a fundamental group of a 3-manifold into PGL(n,C). Thurston, Neumann and Zagier initiated a strategy (in the case of PGL(2,C)) consisting in: triangulate the manifold, assign shapes to each…

We provide an algorithmic framework for the computation of explicit representing matrices for all irreducible representations of a generalized symmetric group $\Grin_n$, i.e., a wreath product of cyclic group of order $r$ with the symmetric…

For a positive integer $k$, we extend the surjectivity results from special linear groups (Type $A_k$) and symplectic linear groups (Type $C_k$) onto product of generalized projective spaces by associating the rows or columns, to certain…

We provide a family of representations of GL(2n) over a p-adic field that admit a non-vanishing linear functional invariant under the symplectic group (i.e. representations that are Sp(2n)- distinguished). While our result generalizes a…

A linear group G<GL(n) acts on d-tuples of n x n matrices by simultaneous conjugation. In [Adv. Math. 19 (1976), 306-381] Procesi established generators and relations between them for G-invariants, where G is GL(n), O(n), and Sp(n) and the…

Let G be a regular Lie group which is a directed union of regular Lie groups G_i (all modelled on possibly infinite-dimensional, locally convex spaces). We show that G is the direct limit of the G_i as a regular Lie group whenever G admits…

We consider the algebra M_k(C) of k-by-k matrices over the complex numbers and view it as a crossed product with a group G of order k by embedding G in the symmetric group S_k via the regular representation and embedding S_k in M_k(C) in…
