We prove that the spaces of smooth and ultradifferentiable vectors associated with a representation of a real Lie group on a Fr\'{e}chet space $E$ are quasinormable if $E$ is so. A similar result is shown to hold for the linear topological…

We show that a Lie group $G$ admitting a bi-invariant distance must be the product $G=H\times K$ of an abelian group $H$ and a compact group $K$ with discrete center. Moreover, the distance in $G$ must come from the infima of lengths of…

We investigate the structure of subspaces of a Hilbert space that are invariant under unitary representations of a discrete group. We work with square integrable representations, and we show that they are those for which we can construct an…

Given a finitely-generated group $\pi$ and a linear algebraic group $G$, the representation variety Hom$(\pi,G)$ has a natural filtration by the characteristic varieties associated to a rational representation of $G$. Its algebraic…

Let F be a finitely generated discrete group. Given a covering map H to G of Lie groups with G either compact or complex reductive, there is an induced covering map Hom(F, H) to Hom(F, G). We show that when the fundamental group of G is…

We study $\epsilon$-representations of discrete groups by unitary operators on a Hilbert space. We define the notion of Ulam stability of a group which loosely means that finite-dimensional $\epsilon$-represendations are uniformly close to…

In this paper, we define locally convex vector spaces of weighted vector fields and use them as model spaces for Lie groups of weighted diffeomorphisms on Riemannian manifolds. We prove an easy condition on the weights that ensures that…

Any Lie group G acting on a Euclidean nonvoid open subset M can be seen as a subgroup of the smooth diffeomorphisms Diff^\infty(M,M) of M into itself. Thus actions by such Lie groups G correspond to smooth coordinate transforms on M which,…

Let $G$ be a discrete group with property (T). It is a standard fact that, in a unitary representation of $G$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, almost invariant vectors are close to invariant vectors, in a quantitative way. We begin by…

We give a complete description of the category of smooth complex representations of the multiplicative group of a central simple algebra over a locally compact nonarchimedean local field. More precisely, for each inertial class in the…

Let $G$ be a second-countable amenable group with a uniform $k$-approximate lattice $\Lambda$. For a projective discrete series representation $(\pi, \mathcal{H}_{\pi})$ of $G$ of formal degree $d_{\pi} > 0$, we show that $D^-(\Lambda) \geq…

Using the results of J. Arthur on the representation theory of classical groups with additional work by Colette Moeglin and its relation with representations of affine Hecke algebras established by the author, we show that the category of…

Motivated by asymptotic symmetry groups in general relativity, we consider projective unitary representations $\overline{\rho}$ of the Lie group $\mathrm{Diff}_c(M)$ of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold $M$ that…

Let G be a complex semisimple Lie group and H a complex closed connected subgroup. Let g and h be their Lie algebras. We prove that the regular representation of G in $L^2(G/H)$ is tempered if and only if the orthogonal of h in g contains…

Let $\pi$ be an unitary irreducible representation of a Lie group $G$. $\pi$ defines a moment set $I_\pi$, subset of the dual $\mathfrak g^*$ of the Lie algebra of $G$. Unfortunately, $I_\pi$ does not characterize $\pi$. However, we…

Our main result is that the simple Lie group $G=Sp(n,1)$ acts properly isometrically on $L^p(G)$ if $p>4n+2$. To prove this, we introduce property $({\BP}_0^V)$, for $V$ be a Banach space: a locally compact group $G$ has property…

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of odd residue characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be the unramified unitary group $U(2, 1)(E/F)$, and $K$ be a maximal compact open subgroup of $G$. For an $\overline{\mathbf{F}}_p$-smooth representation…

The aim of this paper is to explain how to get a complex of smooth representations out of the dual vector space to a smooth representation of a p-adic Lie group, in natural characteristic. The construction does not depend on any…

Let $G$ be a nilpotent, connected, simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, and $\pi$ a unitary representation of $G$. The goal is to prove that the wave front set of $\pi$ coincides with the asymptotic cone of the orbital…

We construct a smooth Banach manifold BV$([a,b], M)$ whose elements are suitably-defined functions $f:[a,b] \rightarrow M$ of bounded variation with values in a smooth Banach manifold $M$ which admits a local addition. If the target…
