Given a subgroup H of a finite group G, we begin a systematic study of the partial representations of G that restrict to global representations of H. After adapting several results from [DEP00] (which correspond to the case where H is…

We prove that a finite complex reflection group has a generalized involution model, as defined by Bump and Ginzburg, if and only if each of its irreducible factors is either $G(r,p,n)$ with $\gcd(p,n)=1$; $G(r,p,2)$ with $r/p$ odd; or…

Let G be a finite group. Let pi be a permutation from S{n}. We study the distribution of probabilities of equality a{1} a{2} ...a{n-1}a{n}=a{pi{1}}^{epsilon{1}} a{pi_{2}}^{epsilon{2}}...a{pi{n-1}}^{epsilon_{n-1}} a_{pi_{n}}^{epsilon{n}},…

We investigate pairs of permutations $F,G$ of $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ such that $F(x+a)-G(x)$ is a permutation for every $a\in\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$. We show that necessarily $G(x) = \wp(F(x))$ for some complete mapping $-\wp$ of $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$,…

We define the generalized hypergeometric polynomial of degree N in terms of the generalized hypergeometric function that depends on p parameters a_1, ..., a_p and q parameters b_1, ..., b_q. The parameters are "generic", possibly complex,…

We define a Howe-Moore property relative to a set of subgroups. Namely, a group $G$ has the Howe-Moore property relative to a set $\mathcal{F}$ of subgroups if for every unitary representation $\pi$ of $G$, whenever the restriction of $\pi$…

Let F_n be the free group on n generators. Define IA_n to be group of automorphisms of F_n that act trivially on first homology. The Johnson homomorphism in this setting is a map from IA_n to its abelianization. The first goal of this paper…

By a 2-group we mean a groupoid equipped with a weakened group structure. It is called split when it is equivalent to the semidirect product of a discrete 2-group and a one-object 2-group. By a permutation 2-group we mean the 2-group…

We introduce the notion of "hypergeometric" polynomials with respect to Newtonian bases. These polynomials are eigenfunctions ($L P_n(x) = \lambda_n P_n(x)$) of some abstract operator $L$ which is 2-diagonal in the Newtonian basis…

In this paper we define higher pre-Bloch groups p_n(F) of a field F. When our base field is algebraically closed we study its connection to the homology of the general linear groups with finite coefficient Z/l where l is a positive integer.…

This is my old unpublished paper called "The generalized Grassmann invariant". It shows how "pictures" also known as "Peiffer diagrams" represent elements of $H_3G$ for any group $G$ and shows that $K_3(\mathbb Z [G])$ is isomorphic to a…

We classify finite-dimensional complex Hopf algebras $A$ which are pointed, that is, all of whose irreducible comodules are one-dimensional, and whose group of group-like elements $G(A)$ is abelian such that all prime divisors of the order…

The holomorph of a free group $F_n$ is the semidirect product $F_n \rtimes Aut(F_n)$. Using the methods of Hatcher and Vogtmann, we derive stability results and calculate the mod-$p$ homology of these holomorphs for odd primes $p$ in…

The holomorph of a discrete group $G$ is the universal semi-direct product of $G$. In chapter 1 we describe why it is an interesting object and state main results. In chapter 2 we recall the classical definition of the holomorph as well as…

It is shown that there exist infinitely many non-integers $r>2$ such that the Dehn function of some finitely presented group is $\simeq n^r$. For each positive rational number $s$ we construct pairs of finitely presented groups $H\subset G$…

The Radon hypergeometric function (Radon HGF) F(z;\a) of type \l on the Grassmannian Gr(m,N), N=rn for some integers r,n>0, is defined as a Radon transform of the character of the universal covering of the Lie group H_{\l}\subset GL(N)…

The goal of this paper is to show that fundamental concepts in higher-order Fourier analysis can be nauturally extended to the non-commutative setting. We generalize Gowers norms to arbitrary compact non-commutative groups. On the…

Let $G$ be a countable group, $\operatorname{Sub}(G)$ the (compact, metric) space of all subgroups of $G$ with the Chabauty topology and $\operatorname{Is}(G) \subset \operatorname{Sub}(G)$ the collection of isolated points. We denote by…

This paper is a new contribution to the study of regular subgroups of the affine group $AGL_n(F)$, for any field $F$. In particular we associate to any partition $\lambda\neq (1^{n+1})$ of $n+1$ abelian regular subgroups in such a way that…

Let $R$ be the homogeneous coordinate ring of the Grassmannian $\mathbb{G}=Gr(2,n)$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p \geq \max\{n-2,3\}$. In this paper we give a description of the decomposition of $R$,…
