Let $K/F$ be a quadratic extension of $p$-adic fields, and $n$ a positive integer. A smooth irreducible representation of the group $GL(n,K)$ is said to be distinguished, if it admits on its space a nonzero $GL(n,F)$-invariant linear form.…

We show that, if $w_1, \ldots , w_6$ are words which are not an identity of any (non-abelian) finite simple group, then $w_1(G)w_2(G) \cdots w_6(G) = G$ for all (non-abelian) finite simple groups $G$. In particular, for every word $w$,…

We present a conjecture generalizing the Cauchy formula for Macdonald polynomials. This conjecture encodes the mixed Hodge polynomials of the character varieties of representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface of genus g to…

For a finite non-abelian group $G$ let $\rat(G)$ denote the largest ratio of degrees of two nonlinear irreducible characters of $G$. We prove that the number of non-abelian composition factors of $G$ is bounded above by…

Brauer Theory for a finite group can be viewed as a method for comparing the representations of the group in characteristic 0 with those in prime characteristic. Here we generalize much of the machinery of Brauer theory to the setting of…

It is known that characters of irreducible representations of finite Lie algebras can be obtained using theWeyl character formula including Weyl group summations which make actual calculations almost impossible except for a few Lie algebras…

We solve the problem of extension of characters of commutative subalgebras in associative (noncommutative) algebras for a class of subrings (Galois orders) in skew group rings. These results can be viewed as a noncommutative analogue of…

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…

For a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$, Kawanaka introduced the generalized Gelfand-Graev representations (GGGRs for short) of the finite group $G(\mathbb F_q)$ in the case where $q$ is a…

Some results that are true in classical groups are investigated in generalized groups and are shown to be either generally true in generalized groups or true in some special types of generalized groups. Also, it is shown that a Bol groupoid…

We define super-Cayley graphs over a finite abelian group $G$. Using the theory of supercharacters on $G$, we explain how their spectra can be realized as a super-Fourier transform of a superclass characteristic function. Consequently, we…

It is known that the notion of a transitive subgroup of a permutation group $G$ extends naturally to subsets of $G$. We consider subsets of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$ acting transitively on flag-like structures, which…

We give a complete characterization of abelian subgroups of GL(n, R) with a locally dense (resp. dense) orbit in R^n. For finitely generated subgroups, this characterization is explicit and it is used to show that no abelian subgroup of…

In [Frobenius1896] it was shown that many important properties of a finite group could be examined using formulas involving the character ratios of group elements, i.e., the trace of the element acting in a given irreducible representation,…

Let G be a split reductive algebraic group over a non-archimedean local field. We study the representation theory of a central extension $\G$ of G by a cyclic group of order n, under some mild tameness assumptions on n. In particular, we…

Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…

Among all affine, flat, finitely presented group schemes, we focus on those that are pure, this includes all groups which are extensions of a finite locally free group by a group with connected fibres. We prove that over an arbitrary base…

We study a class of newly-introduced CFTs associated with even quadratic forms of general signature, which we call generalized Narain theories. We first summarize the properties of these theories. We then consider orbifolds of these…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In the 1980s, Kawanaka introduced the generalized Gelfand-Graev representations (GGGRs for short) of the finite group $G^F$ in the case where $q$…

In commutative invariant theory, a classical result due to Auslander says that if $R = \Bbbk[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ and $G$ is a finite subgroup of $\text{Aut}_{\text{gr}}(R) \cong \text{GL}(n,\Bbbk)$ which contains no reflections, then there is…
