We introduce and study the notions of hyperbolically embedded and very rotating families of subgroups. The former notion can be thought of as a generalization of the peripheral structure of a relatively hyperbolic group, while the later one…

This is a survey article on the theory of finite complex reflection groups. No proofs are given but numerous references are included.

Two related questions are discussed. The first is when reflection symmetry in a finite set of $i$-dimensional subspaces, $i\in \{1,\dots,n-1\}$, implies full rotational symmetry, i.e., the closure of the group generated by the reflections…

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…

This paper aims to systematically study mystic reflection groups that emerged independently in the paper [Selecta Math. (N.S.) 14 (2009), 325-372, arXiv:0806.0867] by the authors and in the paper [Algebr. Represent. Theory 13 (2010),…

Attached to any reductive Lie group $G$ is a "Cartan motion group" $G_0$ $-$ a Lie group with the same dimension as $G$, but a simpler group structure. A natural one-to-one correspondence between the irreducible tempered representations of…

This dissertation is about The history of quaternions and their associated rotation groups as it relates to theoretical physics.

We show that a pseudorepresentation $\textbf{D}\colon A[G] \to A$ of a (finite) group $G$ need not arise from a genuine representation, even if one is allowed to extend the ring $A$. This shows that a theorem of the "embedding problem" for…

A hyperbolic reflection group is a discrete group generated by reflections in the faces of an $n$-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedron. This survey article is dedicated to the study of arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups with an emphasis…

We consider a twisted version of quantum groups corepresentations. This generalization amounts to include in the theory the case where quantum space coordinates and its endomorphism matrix entries belong to a non-commutative quadratic…

The group of diffeomorphisms of a circle is not an infinite-dimensional algebraic group, though in many ways it behaves as if it were. Here we construct an algebraic model for this object, and discuss some of its representations, which…

We show that certain orderable groups admit no isolated left orders. The groups we consider are cyclic amalgamations of a free group with a general orderable group, the HNN extensions of free groups over cyclic subgroups, and a particular…

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional complex vector space and $W\subset \GL(V)$ be a finite complex reflection group. Let $V^{\reg}$ be the complement in $V$ of the reflecting hyperplanes. A classical conjecture predicts that $V^{\reg}$ is a…

In general the endomorphisms of a non-abelian group do not form a ring under the operations of addition and composition of functions. Several papers have dealt with the ring of functions defined on a group which are endomorphisms when…

We show that for the family of complex reflection groups $G=G(m,p,2)$ appearing in the Shephard--Todd classification, the endomorphism ring of the reduced hyperplane arrangement $A(G)$ is a non-commutative resolution for the coordinate ring…

We exhibit abelian topological groups admitting no nontrivial strongly continuous irreducible representations in Banach spaces. Among them are some abelian Banach-Lie groups and some monothetic subgroups of the unitary group of a separable…

The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…

We study the intersection lattice of the arrangement $\mathcal{A}^G$ of subspaces fixed by subgroups of a finite linear group $G$. When $G$ is a reflection group, this arrangement is precisely the hyperplane reflection arrangement of $G$.…

In this paper, we study the structure of homogeneous subgroups of the homeomorphism group of the sphere, which are defined as closed groups of homeomorphisms of the sphere that contain the rotation group. We prove two structure theorems…

The spin point groups are finite groups whose elements act on both real space and spin space. Among these groups are the magnetic point groups in the case where the real and spin space operations are locked to one another. The magnetic…
