For a representation of a Lie algebra, one can construct a diagram of the representation, i. e. a directed graph with edges labeled by matrix elements of the representation. This article explains how to use these diagrams to describe normal…

Let G be an arithmetic lattice in a semisimple algebraic group over a number field. We show that if G has the congruence subgroup property, then the number of n-dimensional irreducible representations of G grows like n^a, where a is a…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $H$ be a normal subgroup of prime index $p$. Let $F$ be a field of either characteristic $0$ or prime to $|G|$. Let $\eta$ be an irreducible $F$-representation of $H$. If $F$ is an algebraically closed field of…

Real forms of a complex reductive group are classified in terms of Galois cohomology $H^1(\Gamma,G_{ad})$ where $G_{ad}$ is the adjoint group. Alternatively, the theory of the Cartan involution gives a description in terms of cohomology…

Let R be any ring (with 1), \Gamma a group and R\Gamma the corresponding group ring. Let Ext_{R\Gamma}^{*}(M,M) be the cohomology ring associated to the R\Gamma-module M. Let H be a subgroup of finite index of \Gamma. The following is a…

The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups $G$, and to describe their connections to classical representation…

Let $V$ be a complete discrete valuation ring, and let $G$ be either a word-hyperbolic group or a reductive $p$-adic group. We prove that the canonical morphism $V[G] \to V[G]^\dagger$ from the group algebra to its dagger completion is an…

Given any pair of positive integers m and n, we construct a new Hopf algebra, which may be regarded as a degenerate version of the quantum group of gl(m+n). We study its structure and develop a highest weight representation theory. The…

Let G be the real points of a simply connected, semisimple, simply laced complex Lie group, and let \tilde{G} be the nonlinear double cover of G. We discuss a set of small genuine irreducible representations of \tilde{G} which can be…

A method to construct in explicit form the generators of the simple roots of an arbitrary finite-dimensional representation of a quantum or standard semisimple algebra is found. The method is based on general results from the global theory…

We give explicit, uniform formulas for the graded characters and total ranks of the Lie algebra homology of finite-dimensional representations in all classical types. In many cases, these compute the Tor groups of finite length modules over…

Let $G_{\mathbb R}$ be the set of real points of a complex linear reductive group and $\hat G_\lambda$ its classes of irreducible admissible representations with infinitesimal integral regular character $\lambda$. In this case each cell of…

Let $\gamma_n=[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the $n$th lower central word. Denote by $X_n$ the set of $\gamma_n$-values in a group $G$ and suppose that there is a number $m$ such that $|g^{X_n}|\leq m$ for each $g\in G$. We prove that…

We study general nilpotent algebras. The results obtained are new even for the classical algebras, such as associative or Lie algebras. We single out certain generic properties of finite-dimensional algebras, mostly over infinite fields.…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated torsion free nilpotent group, and let $A^\omega$ be the space of infinite words over a finite alphabet $A$. We investigate two types of self-similar actions of $\Gamma$ on $A^\omega$, namely the…

When $G$ is a connected compact Lie group, and $\pi$ is a closed surface group, then $Hom(\pi,G)$ contains an open dense $Out(\pi)$-invariant subset which is a smooth symplectic manifold. This symplectic structure is $Out(\pi)$-invariant…

We present a structural description of finite nilpotent groups of class at most $2$ using a specified number of subdirect and central products of $2$-generated such groups. As a corollary, we show that all of these groups are isomorphic to…

Let $X$ be a set and let $S$ be an inverse semigroup of partial bijections of $X$. Thus, an element of $S$ is a bijection between two subsets of $X$, and the set $S$ is required to be closed under the operations of taking inverses and…

In this chapter we give a geometric representation of $H_{n}(B;\mathbb{L})$ classes, where $\mathbb{L}$ is the $4$-periodic surgery spectrum, by establishing a relationship between the normal cobordism classes…

The cohomology of the degree-$n$ general linear group over a finite field of characteristic $p$, with coefficients also in characteristic $p$, remains poorly understood. For example, the lowest degree previously known to contain nontrivial…
