We determine the necessary and sufficient combinatorial conditions for which the tensor product of two irreducible polynomial representations of $GL(n,\mathbb{C})$ is isomorphic to another. As a consequence we discover families of…

We formulate a series of conjectures on the stable tensor product of irreducible representations of symmetric groups, which are closely related to the reduced Kronecker coefficients. These conjectures are certain generalizations of…

Kronecker coefficients encode the tensor products of complex irreducible representations of symmetric groups. Their stability properties have been considered recently by several authors (Vallejo, Pak and Panova, Stembridge). In previous…

A Kronecker coefficient is the multiplicity of an irreducible representation of a finite group $G$ in a tensor product of irreducible representations. We define Kronecker Hecke algebras and use them as a tool to study Kronecker coefficients…

We complete the first stage of constructing a theory of fields not investigated before; these fields transform according to Lorentz group representations decomposable into an infinite direct sum of finite-dimensional irreducible…

The irreducible character values of the spin wreath products of the symmetric group and an arbitrary finite group are completely determined.

Let $G$ be a general linear group over $\BR$, $\BC$, or $\BH$, or a real unitary group. In this paper, we precisely describe the number of isomorphism classes of irreducible Casselman-Wallach representations of $G$ with a given…

We investigate the representations of the symmetry groups of infinite crystals. Crystal symmetries are usually described as the finite symmetry group of a finite crystal with periodic boundary conditions, for which the Brillouin zone is a…

We study the zero-sharing behavior among irreducible characters of a finite group. For symmetric groups $S_n$, it is proved that, with one exception, any two irreducible characters have at least one common zero. To further explore this…

Kostka numbers and Littlewood-Richardson coefficients play an essential role in the representation theory of the symmetric groups and the special linear groups. There has been a significant amount of interest in their computation. The issue…

We define an equivalence relation on integer compositions and show that two ribbon Schur functions are identical if and only if their defining compositions are equivalent in this sense. This equivalence is completely determined by means of…

We consider non-trivial irreducible tensor products of modular representations of a symmetric group $S_n$ in characteristic 2 for even $n$ completing the proof of a classification conjecture of Gow and Kleshchev about such products.

We give an algorithm for computing the irreducible admissible representations of a real reductive group with regular integral infinitesimal character. This algorithm has been implemented on a computer, as part of the Atlas of Lie Groups and…

We study irreducible restrictions from modules over symmetric groups to subgroups. We get reduction results which substantially restrict the classes of subgroups and modules for which this is possible. Such results are known when the…

We determine the multiplicities of irreducible summands in the symmetric and the exterior squares of hook representations of symmetric groups over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.

The symmetric group S_n possesses a nontrivial central extension, whose irreducible representations, different from the irreducible representations of S_n itself, coincide with the irreducible representations of a certain algebra A_n.…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be an algebraically closed field and $G$ be an almost quasi-simple group. An important problem in representation theory is to classify the subgroups $H<G$ and $\mathbb{F} G$-modules $L$ such that the restriction…

For every dimension d, there is an infinite family of convex co-compact reflection groups of isometries of hyperbolic d-space --- the superideal (simplicial and cubical) reflection groups --- with the property that a random group at any…

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…

The covering number of a non-linear character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$ is the least positive integer $k$ such that every irreducible character of $G$ occurs in $\chi^k$. We determine the covering numbers of irreducible characters of the…
