We study irreducible restrictions from modules over alternating groups to subgroups. We get reduction results which substantially restrict the classes of subgroups and modules for which this is possible. This is known when the…

We show that for any finite-dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ of infinite representation type, over a perfect field, there is a bounded principal ideal domain $\Gamma$ and a representation embedding from $\Gamma -$mod into $\Lambda -$mod. As an…

We classify globally irreducible representations of alternating groups and double covers of symmetric and alternating groups. In order to achieve this classification we also completely characterise irreducible representations of such groups…

It is known that the Lawrence-Krammer representation of the Artin group of type $A_{n-1}$ based on the two parameters $t$ and $q$ that was used by Krammer and independently by Bigelow to show the linearity of the braid group on $n$ strands…

We show that the Lawrence-Krammer representation based on two parameters that was used by Bigelow and independently Krammer to show the linearity of the braid group is generically irreducible, but that when its parameters are specialized to…

While persistent homology has taken strides towards becoming a wide-spread tool for data analysis, multidimensional persistence has proven more difficult to apply. One reason is the serious drawback of no longer having a concise and…

Let $U_n(q)$ be the upper triangular group of degree $n$ over the finite field $\F_q$ with $q$ elements. In this paper, we present constructions of large degree ordinary irreducible representations of $U_n(q)$ where $n\geq 7$, and then…

In this paper we show that the Boltzmann weights of the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model give representations of the braid group, if some suitable spectral limits are taken. In the trigonometric case we classify all possible spectral…

We prove that any complex local representation of the flat virtual braid group, $FVB_2$, into $GL_2(\mathbb{C})$, has one of the types $\lambda_i: FVB_2 \rightarrow GL_2(\mathbb{C})$, $1\leq i\leq 12$. We find necessary and sufficient…

For any finite group $G$ and any prime $p$ one can ask which ordinary irreducible representations remain irreducible in characteristic $p$, or more generally, which representations remain homogeneous in characteristic $p$. In this paper we…

This work presents an approach towards the representation theory of the braid groups $B_n$. We focus on finite-dimensional representations over the field of Laurent series which can be obtained from representations of infinitesimal braids,…

We study finite-dimensional representations of hyper loop algebras over non-algebraically closed fields. The main results concern the classification of the irreducible representations, the construction of the Weyl modules, base change,…

Let B be the generalized braid group associated to some finite complex reflection group. We define a representation of B of dimension the number of reflections of the corresponding reflection group, which generalizes the Krammer…

Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of the exterior of a knot in the three-sphere. We study deformations of representations of $\Gamma$ into $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbf{C})$ which are the sum of two irreducible representations. For such…

It is shown that the finite dimensional ireducible representations of the quantum matrix algebra $ M_q(3) $ ( the coordinate ring of $ GL_q(3) $ ) exist only when q is a root of unity ( $ q^p = 1 $ ). The dimensions of these representations…

We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a $p$-adic field ($p\ne 2$) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group $GL$ of…

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.

For a connected, noncompact matrix simple Lie group $G$ so that a maximal compact subgroup $K$ has three dimensional simple ideal, in this note we analyze the admissibility of the restriction of irreducible square integrable representations…

Basic modules of McLain groups $M=M(\Lambda,\leq, R)$ are defined and investigated. These are (possibly infinite dimensional) analogues of Andr\'e's supercharacters of $U_n(q)$. The ring $R$ need not be finite or commutative and the field…

We consider a conformal invariant of braids, the extremal length with totally real horizontal boundary values $\lambda_{tr}$. The invariant descends to an invariant of elements of $\mathcal{B}_n\diagup\mathcal{Z}_n$, the braid group modulo…
