To a finite group $G$, one can associate several notions of dimensions (or degrees). In this survey, we attempt to bring together some of the notions of dimensions or degrees defined using representations of the group in General Linear…

Over fields of characteristic zero, there are well known constructions of the irreducible representations, due to A Young, and of irreducible modules, called Specht modules, due to W Specht, for the symmetric groups $S_{n}$ which are based…

This text is an introduction to algebraic enumerative geometry and to applications of tropical geometry to classical geometry, based on a course given during the X-UPS mathematical days, 2008 May 14th and 15th. The aim of this text is to be…

Self-similar groups provide a rich source of groups with interesting properties; e.g., infinite torsion groups (Burnside groups) and groups with an intermediate word growth. Various self-similar groups can be described by a recursive…

We study finite-dimensional representations of hyper loop algebras over non-algebraically closed fields. The main results concern the classification of the irreducible representations, the construction of the Weyl modules, base change,…

We give an expanded treatment of our lecture series at the 2017 Groups St Andrews conference in Birmingham on local-global conjectures and the block theory of finite reductive groups.

We describe isomorphisms of groups of several periodic infinite matrices and isomorphisms of groups of invertible elements of unital locally matrix algebras.

In this paper we determine the representation type of some algebras of infinite matrices continuously controlled at infinity by a compact metrizable space. We explicitly classify their finitely presented modules in the finite and tame…

We define a new invariant of finitely generated representations of a finite group, with coefficients in a commutative noetherian ring. This invariant uses group cohomology and takes values in the singularity category of the coefficient…

These are the notes from an Oberwolfach Seminar which we ran from 23--29 May 2010.

Lie groups over local fields furnish prime examples of totally disconnected, locally compact groups. We discuss the scale, tidy subgroups and further subgroups (like contraction subgroups) for analytic endomorphisms of such groups. The text…

These are expanded notes of four introductory talks on A-infinity algebras, their modules and their derived categories.

We define and study the class of inner ultrahomogeneous groups, which includes Hall's universal group and the universal locally recursively presentable group. We provide simple criteria for ample generic automorphisms, straight maximality,…

These are lecture notes from a lecture series given at CIRM in the Fall 2023. They give a down-to-earth introduction to Khovanov and Seidel's categorical representation of Artin-Tits groups, emphasizing the fact that it is all explicitly…

The paper is grown from the lecture course "Metric projective geometry" which I hold at the summer school "Finsler geometry with applications" at Karlovassi, Samos, in 2014, and at the workshop before the 8th seminar on Geometry and…

This document is an expanded version of a lecture presented at a conference on "Thin Groups and Superstrong Approximation" held at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in February 2012. Superstrong approximation is a criterion on a…

This is the extended abstract of the talk given at the workshop "Geometry and physics of Higgs bundles", held at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in May 2019.

We investigate the endotrivial modules for the Schur covers of the symmetric and alternating groups and determine the structure of their group of endotrivial modules in all characteristics. We provide a full description of this group by…

We answer two questions about the topology of end spaces of infinite type surfaces and the action of the mapping class group that have appeared in the literature. First, we give examples of infinite type surfaces with end spaces that are…
