Let $\pi$ be a genuine cuspidal representation of the metaplectic group of rank $n$. We consider the theta lifts to the orthogonal group associated to a quadratic space of dimension $2n+1$. We show a case of regularised Rallis inner product…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power, and $G=\text{Sp}(2n,q)$ the finite symplectic group. We give an expression for the total Stiefel-Whitney Classes (SWCs) for orthogonal representations $\pi$ of $G$, in terms of character values of $\pi$ at…

We construct an abelian category C and exact functors in C which on the Grothendieck group descend to the action of a simply-laced quantum group in its adjoint representation. The braid group action in the adjoint representation lifts to an…

For the simple Lie algebra $g = sl(n,C)$ we we find a set of generators and relations for the classical family algebra $(End(g)\otimes S(g))^G$ as an algebra over the ring $I(g)$. From these we can then determine a $I(g)$-linear basis of…

The first part of this paper surveys several characterizations of Teichm\"uller space as a subset of the space of representation of the fundamental group of a surface into PSL(2,R). Special emphasis is put on (bounded) cohomological…

We classify the connected components of the space of representations of the fundamental group of a closed oriented surface of genus $\geq 2$ in $Sp(4,{\mathbf R})$. We prove that this is equivalent to classifying the connected components of…

Let $G_n$ denote either the group $Sp(2n, F)$ or $SO(2n+1, F)$ over a non-archimedean local field $F$. We determine the composition series of representations of $G_n$ induced from cuspidal and ladder representations such that the minimal…

Let $G$ be the fundamental group of the complement of the torus knot of type $(m,n)$. This has a presentation $G=<x,y|x^m=y^n>$. We find the geometric description of the character variety $X(G)$ of characters of representations of $G$ into…

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…

We compute the fundamental groups of the complements of the family of real conic-line arrangements with up to two conics which are tangent to each other at two points, with an arbitrary number of tangent lines to both conics. All the…

We give a formula for the character of the representation of the symmetric group $S_n$ on each isotypic component of the cohomology of the set of regular elements of a maximal torus of $SL_n$, with respect to the action of the centre.

Shephard groups are unitary reflection groups arising as the symmetries of regular complex polytopes. For a Shephard group, we identify the representation carried by the principal ideal in the coinvariant algebra generated by the image of…

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 present an efficient method for computing the ${\rm SL}(3,\mathbb{C})$-character varieties of two-generator groups.

In this article we present a new C*-algebraic deformation of the Lorentz group. It is obtained by means of the Rieffel deformation applied to SL(2,C). We give a detailed description of the resulting quantum group in terms of generators -…

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…

If $E/F$ is a quadratic extension $p$-adic fields, we first prove that the $\mathrm{SL}_n(F)$-distinguished representations inside a distinguished unitary L-packet of $\mathrm{SL}_n(E)$ are precisely those admitting a degenerate Whittaker…

We show that the group algebras $\mathbb{C}[\text{SL}_3(\mathbb{F}_3[t]/(t^3))]$ and $\mathbb{C}[\text{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z}/27)]$ are not isomorphic, as well as $\mathbb{C}[\text{SL}_4(\mathbb{F}_2[t]/(t^3))]$ and…

We propose the fundamental and two dimensional representation of the Lorentz groups on a (3+1)-dimensional hypercubic lattice, from which representations of higher dimensions can be constructed. For the unitary representation of the…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible cuspidal representation of $\mathrm{GL}_{kn}\left(\mathbb{F}_q\right)$. Assume that $\pi = \pi_{\theta}$, corresponds to a regular character $\theta$ of $\mathbb{F}_{q^{kn}}^{*}$. We consider the twisted Jacquet…
