Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of odd residual characteristic. We compute the Jordan set of a simple cuspidal representation of a symplectic group over $F$, using explicit computations of generators of the Hecke algebras of covers…

It is proved that each Hoeffding space associated with a random permutation (or, equivalently, with extractions without replacement from a finite population) carries an irreducible representation of the symmetric group, equivalent to a…

We study representations of $GL_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ that are distinguished with respect to a symmetric subgroup $H=GL_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})^{\sigma}$, where $\sigma$ is an involution. We prove that those representations satisfy $\pi \cong…

We study the automorphic theta representation $\Theta_{2n}^{(r)}$ on the $r$-fold cover of the symplectic group $Sp_{2n}$. This representation is obtained from the residues of Eisenstein series on this group. If $r$ is odd, $n\le r <2n$,…

We introduce the symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}_2(A,\sigma)$ over a noncommutative algebra $A$ with an anti-involution $\sigma$. We realize several classical Lie groups as $\mathrm{Sp}_2$ over various noncommutative algebras, which provides…

Let $e$ denote the Euler class on the space $Hom(\Gamma_g, PSL(2,\mathbb R))$ of representations of the fundamental group $\Gamma_g$ of the closed surface $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g$. Goldman showed that the connected components of…

We give an example of a semisimple symmetric space $G/H$ and an irreducible representation of $G$ which has multiplicity 1 in $L^2(G/H)$ and multiplicity 2 in $C^\infty(G/H)$.

We show that a symplectic reduction of the symmetric representation of the generalized $n$-dimensional rigid body equations yields the $n$-dimensional Euler equation. This result provides an alternative to the more elaborate relationship…

We study homological multiplicities of spherical varieties of reductive group $G$ over a $p$-adic field $F$. Based on Bernstein's decomposition of the category of smooth representations of a $p$-adic group, we introduce a sheaf that…

Let Sp_V(F) be the group of isometries of a symplectic vector space V over a finite field F of odd cardinality. The group Sp_V(F) possesses distinguished representations--- the Weil representations. We know that they are compatible with…

We show the set of faithful representations of a closed orientable hyperbolic surface group is dense in both irreducible components of the PSL(2,K) representation variety, where K is the field of real or complex numbers, answering a…

Let G be a branch group (as defined by Grigorchuk) acting on a tree T. A parabolic subgroup P is the stabiliser of an infinite geodesic ray in T. We denote by $\rho_{G/P}$ the associated quasi-regular representation. If G is discrete, these…

We prove that when $q$ is a power of $2$, every complex irreducible representation of $\mathrm{Sp}(2n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ may be defined over the real numbers, that is, all Frobenius-Schur indicators are 1. We also obtain a generating function…

This article explores surface-group representations into the complex hyperbolic group $\mathrm{PU}(2,1)$ and presents domination results for a special class of representations called $T$-bent representations. Let $S_{g,k}$ be a punctured…

We compute the number of irreducible linear representations of self-similar branch groups, by expressing these numbers as the co\"efficients a_n of a Dirichlet series sum a_n n^{-s}. We show that this Dirichlet series has a positive…

To the integral symplectic group Sp(2g,Z) we associate two posets of which we prove that they have the Cohen-Macaulay property. As an application we show that the locus of marked decomposable principally polarized abelian varieties in the…

Given a reductive group $G$ and a reductive subgroup $H$, both defined over a number field $F$, we introduce the notion of the $H$-distinguished automorphic spectrum of $G$ and analyze it for the pairs $(GL_{2n},Sp_n)$ and…
