Given a faithful finite-dimensional representation $V$ of a finite group $G$ over any field $\mathbb{F}$, we show that any irreducible ${\mathbb{F}}G$-module $W$ appears, as a submodule or a quotient, in $\mathrm{Sym}^m(V)$ for some integer…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group with Pontraygin dual $\widehat{G}$. Suppose $P$ is a closed subsemigroup of $G$ containing the identity element $0$. We assume that $P$ has dense interior and $P$ generates $G$. Let…

We prove that a metric space does not coarsely embed into a Hilbert space if and only if it satisfies a sequence of Poincar\'e inequalities, which can be formulated in terms of (generalized) expanders. We also give quantitative statements,…

Given an almost unimodular $G$, so that the Plancherel weight $\varphi_G$ on the group von Neumann algebra $L(G)$ is almost periodic, we show that the basic construction for the inclusion $L(G)^{\varphi_G} \leq L(G)$ is isomorphic to a…

Approximate algebraic structures play a defining role in arithmetic combinatorics and have found remarkable applications to basic questions in number theory and pseudorandomness. Here we study approximate representations of finite groups:…

We prove that amenability of a unitary co-representation $U$ of a locally compact quantum group passes to unitary co-representations that weakly contain $U$. This generalizes a result of Bekka, and answers affirmatively a question of…

Let T be a tilting object in a triangulated category equivalent to the bounded derived category of a hereditary abelian category with finite dimensional homomorphism spaces and split idempotents. This text investigates the strong global…

For locally compact groups, we define an analogue to Yu's property A that he defined for discrete metric spaces. We show that our property A for locally compact groups agrees with Roe's notion of property A for proper metric spaces, defined…

In this series of papers, we investigate properties of a finite group which are determined by its low degree irreducible representations over a number field $F$, i.e. its representations on matrix rings $\operatorname{M}_n(D)$ with $n \leq…

Let G be a countable group. We proof that there is a model companion for the approximate theory of a Hilbert space with a group G of automorphisms. We show that G is amenable if and only if the structure induced by countable copies of the…
