We describe a technique to determine the automorphism group of a geometrically represented graph, by understanding the structure of the induced action on all geometric representations. Using this, we characterize automorphism groups of…

There is a unique finite group that lies inside the 2-dimensional unitary group but not in the special unitary group, and maps by the symmetric square to an irreducible subgroup of the 3-dimensional real special orthogonal group. In an…

An axiomatic approach to the representation theory of Coxeter groups and their Hecke algebras was presented in [1]. Combinatorial aspects of this construction are studied in this paper. In particular, the symmetric group case is…

We classify the finite-dimensional irreducible linear representations of the Baumslag-Solitar groups BS(p,q) = < a, b | a b^p = b^q a > for relatively prime p and q. The general strategy of the argument is to consider the matrix group given…

We construct families of irreducible representations for a class of quantum groups $U_{q}(f_{m}(K,H)$. First, we realize these quantum groups as Hyperbolic algebras. Such a realization yields natural families of irreducible weight…

A real representation of a finite group naturally determines a polytope, generalizing the well-known Birkhoff polytope. This paper determines the structure of the polytope corresponding to the natural permutation representation of a general…

We continue to study Pythagorean unitary representation of Richard Thompson's groups $F$, $T$ and $V$ that are built from a single isometry from a Hilbert space to its double. By developing powerful diagrammatically based techniques we show…

We study asymptotics of traces of (noncommutative) monomials formed by images of certain elements of the universal enveloping algebra of the infinite-dimensional unitary group in its Plancherel representations. We prove that they converge…

A skew-morphism of a finite group $G$ is a permutation $\sigma$ on $G$ fixing the identity element, and for which there exists an integer function $\pi$ on $G$ such that $\sigma(xy)=\sigma(x)\sigma^{\pi(x)}(y)$ for all $x,y\in G$. It has…

We construct families of TQFT's over the finite field Z/pZ starting from an integral TQFT obtained by Frohman and Nicas. These TQFT's are likely to describe the constant order contributions of the cyclotomic integer expansions of the…

Let $V$ be a left vector space over a division ring and let ${\mathcal P}(V)$ be the associated projective space. We describe all finite subsets $X\subset V$ such that every permutation on $X$ can be extended to a linear automorphism of $V$…

We survey a research program on the strong convergence of unitary and permutation representations of discrete groups. We also take the opportunity to flesh out details that have not appeared elsewhere.

We investigate refined algebraic quantisation with group averaging in a finite-dimensional constrained Hamiltonian system that provides a simplified model of general relativity. The classical theory has gauge group SL(2,R) and a…

We determine all permutation polynomials among several families of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ for arbitrary prime powers $q$. We obtain some new families of permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ with simple coefficients…

Let F* be the finite field of q elements and let P(n,q) be the projective space of dimension n-1 over F*. We construct a family H^{n}_{k,i} of combinatorial homology modules associated to P(n,q) over a coefficient field F field of…

We consider the structure of finite $p$-groups $G$ having precisely three characteristic subgroups, namely $1$, $\Phi(G)$ and $G$. The structure of $G$ varies markedly depending on whether $G$ has exponent $p$ or $p^2$, and, in both cases,…

A Delta-groupoid is an algebraic structure which axiomatizes the combinatorics of a truncated tetrahedron. By considering two simplest examples coming from knot theory, we illustrate how can one associate a Delta-groupoid to an ideal…

The aim of this paper is to survey some known results about mapping class group quotients by powers of Dehn twists, related to their finite dimensional representations and to state some open questions. One can construct finite quotients of…
