This thesis is devoted to the study of the interactions existing between the algebraic structure of locally compact groups and the properties of their continuous unitary representations, with a special emphasis on the Type I groups. On the…

We prove a topological rigidity result for simple, thick, hyperbolic P-manifolds of dimension 2: isomorphism of the fundamental groups implies homeomorphism of the P-manifolds. An immediate application is a diagram rigidity theorem for…

We show that if $\{\rho_{\ell}\}$ is a compatible system of absolutely irreducible Galois representations of a number field then the residual representation $\overline{\rho}_{\ell}$ is absolutely irreducible for $\ell$ in a density 1 set of…

We give a geometric proof of a conjecture of W. Fulton on the multiplicities of irreducible representations in a tensor product of irreducible representations for GL(r).

In the theory of unitary group representations, a group is called type I if all factor representations are of type I, and by a celebrated theorem of James Glimm [Gli61b], the type I groups are precisely those groups for which the…

We establish a general CCR (liminarity) property for uniformly bounded irreducible representations of nilpotent Lie groups on reflexive Banach spaces, extending the well known property of unitary irreducible representations of these groups…

This paper has two aims. The first is to give a description of irreducible tempered representations of classical p-adic groups which follows naturally the classification of irreducible square integrable representations modulo cuspidal data…

Let $G$ be a connected, linear, real reductive Lie group with compact centre. Let $K<G$ be compact. Under a condition on $K$, which holds in particular if $K$ is maximal compact, we give a geometric expression for the multiplicities of the…

We prove that the quotient of an irreducible representation of a special unitary group of rank greater than 1 cannot be a smooth manifold.

We characterize finite-dimensional thick representations over ${\Bbb C}$ of connected complex semi-simple Lie groups by irreducible representations which are weight multiplicity-free and whose weight posets are totally ordered sets.…

In this paper we study the possibility to define irreducible representations of the symmetric groups with the help of finitely many relations. The existence of finite bases is established for the classes of representations corresponding to…

In this paper we characterize the congruence associated to the direct sum of all irreducible representations of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary field, generalizing results of Rhodes for the field of complex numbers. Applications are…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group, let $\theta$ be an involution of $\Gamma$, and let $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $\Gamma$. We bound $\dim \rho^{\Gamma^{\theta}}$ in terms of the smallest dimension of a faithful…

In this paper, we prove the FPP conjecture, giving a strong upper bound on the unitary dual of a real reductive group. Our proof is an application of the global generation properties of $\mathcal{D}$-modules on the flag variety and their…

In this paper, we introduce a study of prolongations of representations of Lie groups. We obtain a faithful (one-to-one) representation of TG where G is a finite-dimensional Lie group and TG is the tangent bundle of G, by using (not…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $P$ a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$. We obtain both asymptotic and explicit bounds for the number of odd-degree irreducible complex representations of $G$ in terms of the size of the abelianization of $P$. To do…

This paper is concerned with the representation theory of finite groups. According to Robinson, the truth of certain variants of Alperin's weight conjecture on the $p$-blocks of a finite group would imply some arithmetical conditions on the…

Let $D$ be a division ring infinite-dimensional over its center $k$ with multiplicative group $D^{\times}$. We show that if $D$ belongs to certain families, there exist free symmetric and unitary pairs in $D^{\times}$ with respect to a…

The isomorphism problem for infinite finitely presented groups is probably the hardest among standard algorithmic problems in group theory. Classes of groups where it has been completely solved are nilpotent groups, hyperbolic groups, and…

Answering a question of I. M. Isaacs, we show that the largest degree of irreducible complex representations of any finite non-abelian simple group can be bounded in terms of the smaller degrees. We also study the asymptotic behavior of…
