This book is an introduction to a fast developing branch of mathematics - the theory of representations of groups. It presents classical results of this theory concerning finite groups.
Cohen and Taylor introduced Plesken Lie algebras of finite groups and studied their structural properties. As a further step, we will introduce Plesken Lie algebra representations, Plesken Lie algebra modules and discuss the irreducibility…
Broadly speaking, a finiteness property of groups is any generalisation of the property of having finite order. A large part of infinite group theory is concerned with finiteness properties and the relationships between them. Profinite…
A finite W-algebra is an associative algebra constructed from a semisimple Lie algebra and its nilpotent element. In this survey we review recent developments in the representation theory of W-algebras. We emphasize various interactions…
The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},\ldots , a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} \cdots a_{\sigma (n)}$, where…
This paper investigates the class of finitely presented monoids defined by homogeneous (length-preserving) relations from a computational perspective. The properties of admitting a finite complete rewriting system, having finite derivation…
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…
Arithmetical properties of a finite group are properties of the group which are defined by its arithmetical parameters such as the order of the group, the element orders and so on. In this paper, we discuss a number of results on…
We give a uniform construction that, on input of a recursive presentation $P$ of a group, outputs a recursive presentation of a torsion-free group, isomorphic to $P$ whenever $P$ is itself torsion-free. We use this to re-obtain a known…
A combinatorial property of prositive group presentations, called completeness, is introduced, with an effective criterion for recognizing complete presentations, and an iterative method for completing an incomplete presentation. We show…
Recently there has been a lot of research and progress in profinite groups. We survey some of the new results and discuss open problems. A central theme is decompositions of finite groups into bounded products of subsets of various kinds…
The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups $G$, and to describe their connections to classical representation…
This paper is an extended version of four lectures at PIMS in Vancouver given June 27 - 30, 2016. The primary goal of these lectures was to publicize the author's recent efforts to extend to representations of linear algebraic groups the…
These notes give an elementary introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their representations. Designed to be accessible to graduate students in mathematics or physics, they have a minimum of prerequisites. Topics include definitions…
We describe the groups that have the same holomorph as a finite perfect group. Our results are complete for centerless groups. When the center is non-trivial, some questions remain open. The peculiarities of the general case are illustrated…
In this series of papers, we investigate properties of a finite group which are determined by its low degree irreducible representations over a number field $F$, i.e. its representations on matrix rings $\operatorname{M}_n(D)$ with $n \leq…
Given a finite, connected 2-complex $X$ such that $b_2(X)\le1$ we establish two existence results for representations of the fundamental group of $X$ into compact connected Lie groups $G$, with prescribed values on certain loops. If…
We give a survey on the theory of representation-finite and certain minimal representation-infinite algebras.The main goals are the existence of multiplicative bases and of coverings with good properties. Both are attained via…
Using the notion of existentially closed structures, we obtain embedding theorems for groups and Lie algebras. We also prove the existence of some groups and Lie algebras with prescribed properties.
Every nonabelian finite simple group of rank $n$ over a field of size $q$, with the possible exception of the Ree groups $^2G_2(3^{2e+1})$, has a presentation with a bounded number of generators and relations and total length $O(\log n…
