Minimal representations of a real reductive group G are the "smallest" irreducible unitary representations of G. The author suggests a program of global analysis built on minimal representations from the philosophy: small representation of…

We define the notion of a minimal affinization of an irreducible representation of $U_q(g)$. We prove that minimal affinizations exist and establish their uniqueness in the rank 2 case.

We construct an L^2-model of "very small" irreducible unitary representations of simple Lie groups G which, up to finite covering, occur as conformal groups Co(V) of simple Jordan algebras V. If $V$ is split and G is not of type A_n, then…

We give a unified construction of the minimal representation of a finite cover $G$ of the conformal group of a (non necessarily euclidean) Jordan algebra $V$. This representation is realized on the $L^2$-space of the minimal orbit…

For a finite group $G$, the representation dimension is the smallest integer realizable as the degree of a complex faithful representation of $G$. In this article, we compute representation dimension for some $p$-groups, their direct…

In this note, we study irreducible unitary representations of special linear groups of lower ranks, in terms of the matrix models of Gelfand-Naimark and Gelfand-Graev. Review of existing literature is provided. We also add some new…

In this series of papers, we investigate properties of a finite group which are determined by its low degree irreducible representations over a number field $F$, i.e. its representations on matrix rings $\operatorname{M}_n(D)$ with $n \leq…

A minimal permutation representation of a finite group G is a faithful G-set with the smallest possible size. We study the structure of such representations and show that for certain groups they may be obtained by a greedy construction. In…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real form of $G$. We construct a sequence of functors $L_i\mathcal{R}$ from admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of $G$ to admissible (resp.…

The special linear representation of a compact Lie group G is a kind of linear representation of compact Lie group G with special properties. It is possible to define the integral of linear representation and extend this concept to special…

Suppose $G$ is a real reductive group. The determination of the irreducible unitary representations of $G$ is one of the major unsolved problem in representation theory. There is evidence to suggest that every irreducible unitary…

Let O be a complete discrete valuation domain with finite residue field. In this paper we describe the irreducible representations of the groups Aut(M) for any finite O-module M of rank two. The main emphasis is on the interaction between…

Approximate algebraic structures play a defining role in arithmetic combinatorics and have found remarkable applications to basic questions in number theory and pseudorandomness. Here we study approximate representations of finite groups:…

A minimal representation of a simple non-compact Lie group is obtained by ``quantizing'' the minimal nilpotent coadjoint orbit of its Lie algebra. It provides context for Roger Howe's notion of a reductive dual pair encountered recently in…

An irreducible representation of a reductive Lie algebra, when restricted to a Cartan subalgebra, decomposes into weights with multiplicity. The first part of this paper outlines a procedure to compute symmetric polynomials (e.g., power…

We begin a systematic study of unitary representations of minimal $W$-algebras. In particular, we classify unitary minimal $W$-algebras and make substantial progress in classification of their unitary irreducible highest weight modules. We…

Let $G$ be a special $p$-group. If $G$ is of rank two, or $G$ is of maximum rank with $|G^p|\leq p$, then we describe the complex irreducible projective representations of $G$.

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…

We construct an explicit realization of a minimal representation of G, where G is the conformal group of a real Jordan algebra N. We characterize spherical vectors for these representation and prove that they are closely related to the…

Consider the irreducible representations of a real reductive group $G(\mathbb{R})$, and their parametrization by the local Langlands correspondence. We ask: does the parametrization give easily accessible information on the restriction of…
