Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ and let $G$ be a finite cyclic group of order $n$. In this note we prove, using induction on the number of prime divisors of $n$, that $R_K(G)/I \cong \mathbb{Z}[X]/\langle…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete countable group. Consider the crossed product C$^\ast$-algebra $\mathfrak{R}(\Gamma) = C^{\ast}(\Gamma \rtimes l^{\infty}(\Gamma))$. Let $G$ be a larger discrete group, containing $\Gamma$ as an almost normal…

We study covering graphs of the Paley graph associated to a finite field of characteristic p in the case where the covering transformation group is cyclic of prime order distinct from p. When the field has q = p elements, we show that the…

Let $(U, R)$ be an approximation space with $U$ being non-empty set and $R$ being an equivalence relation on $U$, and let $\overline{G}$ and $\underline{G}$ be the upper approximation and the lower approximation of subset $G$ of $U$. A…

We consider the set Bp of parametric block correlation matrices with p blocks of various (and possibly different) sizes, whose diagonal blocks are compound symmetry (CS) correlation matrices and off-diagonal blocks are constant matrices.…

This paper investigates the critical group of a faithful representation of a finite group. It computes the order of the critical group in terms of the character values, and gives some restrictions on its subgroup structure. It also computes…

The problem of computing the dimension of a left/right ideal in a group algebra F[G] of a finite group G over a field F is considered. The ideal dimension is related to the rank of a matrix originating from a regular left/right…

Adams and Conway have stated without proof a result which says, roughly speaking, that the representation ring $R(G)$ of a compact, connected Lie group $G$ is generated as a $\lambda$-ring by elements in 1-to-1 correspondance with the…

For a finite group $G$, there is a map $RO(G) \to {\rm Pic}(Sp^G)$ from the real representation ring of $G$ to the Picard group of $G$-spectra. This map is not known to be surjective in general, but we prove that when $G$ is cyclic this map…

We survey some of the known results on the relation between the homology of the {\em full} Hecke algebra of a reductive $p$-adic group $G$, and the representation theory of $G$. Let us denote by $\CIc(G)$ the full Hecke algebra of $G$ and…

A parametrization of irreducible representations associated with a regular adjoint orbit of a classical group over finite quotient rings of the ring of integer of a non-dyadic non-archimedean local field is presented. The parametrization is…

We show that all spin groups of non-definite, quinary quadratic forms over a field with characteristic 0 can be represented as 2 by 2 matrices with entries in an associated quaternion algebra. Over local and global fields, we further study…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\mathbf{K}_p$ denote the completion at $p$ of the complex $K$-theory spectrum. $\mathbf{K}_p$ is a commutative ring spectrum that in some ways is very similar to the usual ring $\mathbf{Z}_p$ of $p$-adic…

We study low-dimensional representations of matrix groups over general rings, by considering group actions on CAT(0) spaces, spheres and acyclic manifolds.

In this paper, we prove some results on the asymptotic behavior arising in modular representation theory over abelian $p$-groups. First, we embed the representation ring of a cyclic $p$-group into a real algebra of functions. Second, we…

We study the category of $\mathbf{P}$-equivariant modules over the infinite variable polynomial ring, where $\mathbf{P}$ denotes the subgroup of the infinite general linear group $\mathbf{GL}(\mathbf{C}^\infty)$ consisting of elements…

This paper investigates the algebraic and graphical structure of the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{sp}$, with a focus on its decomposition into finite fields, kernels, and special subsets. We establish classical isomorphisms between $\mathbb{F}_s$ and…

We consider groups of orientation-preserving real analytic diffeomorphisms of the circle which have a finite image under the rotation number function. We show that if such a group is nondiscrete with respect to the $C^1$-topology then it…

We give a characterization of connected solvable groups in terms of the existence of representations with certain geometric properties. The existence of such representations for the group of upper triangular matrices played an important…

We consider pairs of finitely presented, residually finite groups $P\hookrightarrow\G$ for which the induced map of profinite completions $\hat P\to \hat\G$ is an isomorphism. We prove that there is no algorithm that, given an arbitrary…
