Two fundamental ways to represent a group are as permutations and as matrices. In this paper, we study linear representations of groups that intertwine with a permutation representation. Recently, D'Alconzo and Di Scala investigated how…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e. a space endowed with a (in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical coodinates. This is the first…

We survey the development and status quo of a subject best described as "generic representation theory of finite dimensional algebras", which started taking shape in the early 1980s. Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an…

In this article, we introduce the algebraic definitions and presentations of the virtual singular twin monoid and virtual singular twin group, denoted by $VSTM_n$ and $VST_n$, respectively, for a positive integer $n$. These structures…

We consider selfinjective Artin algebras whose cohomology groups are finitely generated over a central ring of cohomology operators. For such an algebra, we show that the representation dimension is strictly greater than the maximal…

The irreducible representations $\phi_n^1$ and $\phi_n^2$ of the symplectic group $G_n=Sp_{2n}(P)$ over an algebraically closednfield $P$ of characteristic $p>2$ with highest weights $\omega_{n-1}+\frac{p-3}{2}\omega_n$ and…

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 prove that the maximal dimension $d_N$ of an irreducible representation of the symmetric group $S_N$ satisfies $$d_N=\sqrt{N!} \, e^{-(\mathfrak{d}+o(1))\sqrt{N} }, \quad N\to \infty,$$ for some constant $\mathfrak{d}>0$. This answers a…

We introduce cyclic diagram monoids, a generalisation of classical diagram monoids that adds elements of arbitrary period by including internal components, with a view towards cryptography. We classify their simple representations and…

Finite quasi semimetrics on $n$ can be thought of as nonnegative valuations on the edges of a complete directed graph on $n$ vertices satisfying all possible triangle inequalities. They comprise a polyhedral cone whose symmetry groups were…

We show that the algebra of the coloured rook monoid $R_n^{(r)}$, {\em i.e.} the monoid of $n \times n$ matrices with at most one non-zero entry (an $r$-th root of unity) in each column and row, is the algebra of a finite groupoid, thus is…

Based on recent successes concerning permutation resolutions of representations by Balmer and Gallauer we define a new invariant of finite groups: the p-permutation dimension. We define this analogously to the global dimension of a ring by…

The irreducible components of varieties parametrizing the finite dimensional representations of a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ are explored, with regard to both their geometry and the structure of the modules they encode. Provided…

We show that the mirabolic quantum group $MU(n)$ is a comodule algebra over the quantized enveloping algebra $U_v(\mathfrak{sl}_n)$, and use this structure to give a complete classification of its finite dimensional representations. In…

We study representations of the Cuntz algebras $\O_N$. While, for fixed $N$, the set of equivalence classes of representations of $\O_N$ is known not to have a Borel cross section, there are various subclasses of representations which can…

The full-domain partition monoid $P_n^{fd}$ has been discovered independently in two recent studies on connections between diagram monoids and category theory. It is a right restriction Ehresmann monoid, and contains both the full…

The (ordinary) quiver of an algebra $A$ is a graph that contains information about the algebra's representations. We give a description of the quiver of $\mathbb{C}PT_{n}$, the algebra of the monoid of all partial functions on $n$ elements.…

Finite-dimensional representations of the proper orthochronous Lorentz group are studied in terms of spinor representations of the Clifford algebras. The Clifford algebras are understood as an `algebraic covering' of a full system of the…

In recent papers and books, a global quantization has been developed for unimodular groups of type I. It involves operator-valued symbols defined on the product between the group $\mathsf{G}$ and its unitary dual $\widehat{\mathsf{G}}$,…

Let $\mathfrak g = \mathfrak{gl}_N(k)$, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$, and $N \in \mathbb Z_{\ge 1}$. Let $\chi \in \mathfrak g^*$ and denote by $U_\chi(\mathfrak g)$ the corresponding reduced…
