We introduce a new approach to representation theory of finite groups that uses some basic algebraic geometry and allows to do all the theory without using characters. With this approach, to any finite group $G$ we associate a finite number…

In this paper we generalize Harish Chandra's formula for the formal dimension of a representation of the holomorphic discrete series of a hermitian Lie group $G$ to semisimple symmetric spaces $G/H$.

A consequence of Rapinchuk et al. is that for $S$ a closed surface of genus $g\geq 2$, the set of Hitchin representations of $\pi_1(S)$ with image in $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{Q})$ is dense in the Hitchin component. We give a dynamical proof…

In this paper we consider the very wide class of varieties of representations of Lie algebras over the field k, which has characteristic 0. We study the relation between the geometric equivalence and automorphic equivalence of the…

We establish a lower bound for the representation dimension of all the classical Hecke algebras of types A, B and D. For all the type A algebras, and most of the algebras of types B and D, we also establish upper bounds. Moreover, we…

It is an open problem to determine the dimension of the space of homogeneous polynomials of a fixed degree vanishing at finitely many points in the projective plane to certain multiplicities. We present various aspects of this problem and a…

We establish representation types (finite, tame or wild) of finite dimensional Munn algebras with semisimple bases. As an application, we establish representation types of finite 0-simple semigroups and their mutually annihilating unions.

We give a new lower bound on the number of connected components of the space of representations of a surface group into the group of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the circle. Precisely, for the fundamental group of a genus g…

The faithful representations of real Lie algebras g with dimensions $n\leq 4$ acting on the dual space of the universal covering algebra of an ideal s of g, are calculated. With the help of left and right translations of the Lie group, we…

One of the basic questions in number theory is to determine semi-simple l-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of a number field. In this paper, we discuss the question for two dimensional representations over a totally real…

In math.RT/0302174 we developed a framework to study representations of groups of the form $G((t))$, where $G$ is an algebraic group over a local field $K$. The main feature of this theory is that natural representations of groups of this…

For a $2n+1$-dimensional compact Sasakian manifold, if $n\ge 2$, we prove that the analytic germ of the variety of representations of the fundamental group at every semi-simple representation is quadratic. To prove this result, we prove the…

For every variety of algebras and every algebras in these variety we can consider an algebraic geometry. Algebras may be many sorted (not necessarily one sorted) algebras. A set of sorts is fixed for each variety. This theory can be applied…

Let G be a real semi-simple Lie group and H a closed subgroup which admits an open orbit on the flag manifold of a minimal parabolic subgroup. Let V be a Harish-Chandra module. A sharp finite bound is given for the dimension of the space of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely presented group and $G$ a linear algebraic group over $\mathbb{R}$. A representation $\rho:\Gamma\rightarrow G(\mathbb{R})$ can be seen as an $\mathbb{R}$-point of the representation variety $\mathfrak{R}(\Gamma,…
