Given a knot K and an irreducible metabelian SL(n,C) representation we establish an equality for the dimension of the first twisted cohomology. In the case of equality, we prove that the representation must have finite image and that it is…

Let $\Pi$ be an irreducible unitary completion of a locally algebraic ${\rm GL}_2(\qp)$-representation. We describe those first-order deformations of $\Pi$ which are themselves completions of a locally algebraic representation. This answers…

Let $G$ be a simply connected, connected completely solvable Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{p}+\mathfrak{m}.$ Next, let $\pi$ be an infinite-dimensional unitary irreducible representation of $G$ obtained by inducing a…

Because of the importance of unitarity in quantum physics, work on the representations of the de Sitter group has focussed on the unitary case, which necessarily means infinite dimensional matrices for this non-compact group. Here we…

We prove that the fundamental group of any integer homology 3-sphere different from the 3-sphere admits irreducible representations of its fundamental group in SL(2,C). For hyperbolic integer homology spheres this comes with the definition,…

We provide a family of representations of GL(2n) over a p-adic field that admit a non-vanishing linear functional invariant under the symplectic group (i.e. representations that are Sp(2n)- distinguished). While our result generalizes a…

We construct all cuspidal l-modular representations of a unitary group in three variables attached to an unramified extension of local fields of odd residual characteristic p with l\neq p. We describe the l-modular principal series and show…

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…

Let $D$ be a quaternion division algebra over a non-archimedean local field $F$ of characteristic zero. Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension and $\rm{SL}_{n}^{*}(E) = {\rm{GL}}_{n}(E) \cap \rm{SL}_{n}(D)$. We study distinguished…

Let $n\geq 2$ and $\Phi_{n,t,\pi}: M_n({\mathbb C}) \rightarrow M_n({\mathbb C})$ be a linear map defined by $\Phi_{n,t,\pi}(A)=(n-t)\sum_{i=1}^nE_{ii}AE_{ii}+t\sum_{i=1}^nE_{i,\pi(i)}AE_{i,\pi(i)}^\dag-A$, where $0\leq t\leq n$, $E_{ij}$s…

Let pi be a regular, algebraic, essentially self-dual cuspidal automorphic representation of GL_n(A_F), where F is a totally real field and n is at most 5. We show that for all primes l, the l-adic Galois representations associated to pi…

Let $F$ be a finite field, and let $\mathbb{E}$ be either a quadratic field extension $E/F$ or the split algebra $F \oplus F$. We study distinguished representations of $\rm{SL}_{2n}(F)$ by the subgroup $H_{\flat} := \rm{SL}_{2n}(F) \cap…

The restriction of a supercuspidal representation of SL_2(k), for k a local nonarchimedean field, to a maximal compact subgroup decomposes as a multiplicity-free direct sum of irreducible representations. We explicitly describe this…

We classify the irreducible representations of smooth, connected affine algebraic groups over a field, by tackling the case of pseudo-reductive groups. We reduce the problem of calculating the dimension for pseudo-split pseudo-reductive…

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 show that every complete noetherian local commutative ring R with residue field k can be realized as a universal deformation ring of a continuous linear representation of a profinite group. More specifically, R is the universal…
