The Eulerian idempotents, first introduced for the symmetric group and later extended to all reflection groups, generate a family of representations called the Eulerian representations that decompose the regular representation. In Type $A$,…

We use instanton gauge theory to prove that if $Y$ is a closed, orientable $3$-manifold such that $H_1(Y;\mathbb{Z})$ is nontrivial and either $2$-torsion or $3$-torsion, and if $Y$ is neither $\#^r \mathbb{RP}^3$ for some $r\geq 1$ nor…

We classify the irreducible representations of a family of finite-dimensional pointed liftings $H_\lambda$ of the Nichols algebra associated with the diagram $A_2$ with parameter $q=-1$. We show that these algebras have infinite…

We prove that for a suitable class of representations of free group tensor products are generically irreducible. In particular we prove that there exist irreducible boundary realizations with infinite dimensional fiber.

A global representation is a compatible collection of representations of the outer automorphism groups of the finite groups belonging to a family $\mathscr{U}$. These arise in classical representation theory, in the study of representation…

We classify orbifold geometries which can be interpreted as moduli spaces of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}\geq 3$ superconformal field theories up to rank 2 (complex dimension 6). The large majority of the geometries we find correspond to…

Given three irreducible, admissible, infinite dimensional complex representations of GL2(F), with F a local field, the space of trilinear functionals invariant by the group has dimension at most one. When it is one we provide an explicit…

We investigate a family of (reducible) representations of Artin's braid groups corresponding to a specific solution to the Yang-Baxter equation. The images of the braid groups under these representations are finite groups, and we identify…

We study irreducible ${\rm SL}_2$-representations of twist knots. We first determine all non-acyclic ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$-representations, which turn out to lie on a line denoted as $x=y$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Our main tools are character…

In this paper, we present novel and known non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic spin-3 algebras, by considering the Lie algebra expansion method. We start by applying the expansion procedure using different semigroups to the spin-3…

For an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero and a linear algebraic $k$-group $G$, it is well known that every affine $G$-variety admits a $G$-equivariant closed embedding into a finite-dimensional $G$-module. Such an…

We discuss irreducible highest weight representations of the sl(2) loop algebra and reducible indecomposable ones in association with the sl(2) loop algebra symmetry of the six-vertex model at roots of unity. We formulate an elementary…

It is known that the groups of Euclidean rotations in dimension 3 (isometries of $S^2$), general Lorentz transformations in dimension 4 (Hyperbolic isometries in dimension 3), and screw motions in dimension 3 can be represented by the…

We present three lectures on heterotic M-theory and a fourth lecture extending this theory to more general orbifolds. In Lecture 1, Horava-Witten theory is briefly discussed. We then compactify this theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds, choosing…

We consider a certain modification of the group $G^3_n$ which describes dynamics of point configurations, in particular braids, and define a representation of the modified $G^3_n$. The braid representation induced is powerful enough to…

We apply the method of graphical functions that was recently extended to six dimensions for scalar theories, to $\phi^3$ theory and compute the $\beta$ function, the wave function anomalous dimension as well as the mass anomalous dimension…

Let $H$ be a linear algebraic group whose connected component $G\neq 1$ is simple and $H/G$ is cyclic. We determine the irreducible projective representations $\phi$ of $H$ such that $\phi(G)$ is irreducible and $\phi(h)$ has simple…

This paper aims to determine the images of the braid group under representations afforded by the Yang Baxter equation when the solution is a nontrivial $4 \times 4$ matrix. Making the assumption that all the eigenvalues of the Yang Baxter…

We present some results about the irreducible representations appearing in the exterior algebra $\Lambda \mathfrak{g}$, where $ \mathfrak{g}$ is a simple Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$. For Lie algebras of type $B$, $C$ or $D$ we prove that…
