We prove that the isomorphism problem for finitely generated fully residually free groups is decidable. We also show that each finitely generated fully residually free group G has a decomposition that is invariant under automorphisms of G,…

The paper follows two interconnected directions. 1. Let $G$ be a Roelcke precompact closed subgroup of the group $\Sym(\omega)$ of permutations of the natural numbers. Then $\Inn(G)$ is closed in $\Aut(G)$, where $\Aut(G)$ carries the…

The paper is devoted to a study of generic representations (homomorphisms) of discrete countable groups $\Gamma$ in Polish groups $G$, i.e. those elements in the Polish space $\mathrm{Rep}(\Gamma,G)$ of all representations of $\Gamma$ in…

Let $A$ be a ring with $1\neq 0$, not necessarily finite, endowed with an involution~$*$, that is, an anti-automorphism of order $\leq 2$. Let $H_n(A)$ be the additive group of all $n\times n$ hermitian matrices over $A$ relative to $*$.…

Given a subgroup H of a finite group G, we begin a systematic study of the partial representations of G that restrict to global representations of H. After adapting several results from [DEP00] (which correspond to the case where H is…

Given a finitely generated (fg) group G, the set R(G) of homomorphisms from G to SL(2,C) inherits the structure of an algebraic variety known as the "representation variety" of G. This algebraic variety is an invariant of fg presentations…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a number field $F$, which is split at a finite place $\mathfrak{p}$ of $F$, and let $\pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $G$, which is cohomological with respect to the trivial coefficient…

Suppose that a compact quantum group $\clq$ acts faithfully on a smooth, compact, connected manifold $M$, i.e. has a $C^*$ (co)-action $\alpha$ on $C(M)$, such that the action $\alpha$ is isometric in the sense of \cite{Goswami} for some…

The homotopy symmetric $C^*$-algebras are those separable $C^*$-algebras for which one can unsuspend in E-theory. We find a new simple condition that characterizes homotopy symmetric nuclear $C^*$-algebras and use it to show that the…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (a)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…

Denote the symmetric group of degree $n$ by $S_n$. Let $\rho$ be an irreducible representation of $S_n$ over the field of complex numbers and $\sigma\in S_n$. In this paper, we describe the set of eigenvalues of $\rho(\sigma)$. Based on…

Let $G$ be a reflection group acting on a vector space $V$ and let $\gamma$ be an automorphism of $V$ normalising $G$. We study how $\gamma$ acts on invariants and covariants (for various representations) of $G$, and properties of its…

Given an infinite set $\Omega$ and a ring $R$ as well as a group $G$ acting on them, we show that $G$ and a subgroup $H$ share the same canonical relational structure on $\Omega$ if and only if the restriction functor gives an equivalence…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite connected $G$-vertex-transitive graph and let $v$ be a vertex of $\Gamma$. If the permutation group induced by the action of the vertex-stabiliser $G_v$ on the neighbourhood $\Gamma(v)$ is permutation isomorphic to…

A crucial role in representation theory of loop groups of reductive Lie groups and their Lie algebras is played by their non-trivial second cohomology classes which give rise to their central extensions (the affine Kac-Moody groups and Lie…

In this paper we fully describe the cuspidal and the Eisenstein cohomology of the group $G=GL_2$ over a definite quaternion algebra $D/\Q$. Functoriality is used to show the existence of residual and cuspidal automorphic forms, having…

The permutation representation afforded by a Coxeter group W acting on the cosets of a standard parabolic subgroup inherits many nice properties from W such as a shellable Bruhat order and a flat deformation over Z[q] to a representation of…

A minimal permutation representation of a finite group G is a faithful G-set with the smallest possible size. We study the structure of such representations and show that for certain groups they may be obtained by a greedy construction. In…
