We prove a characterization of monomial projective representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We also characterize polycyclic groups whose projective representations are finite dimensional.

In this paper we study random representations of fundamental groups of surfaces into special unitary groups. The random model we use is based on a symplectic form on moduli space due to Atiyah, Bott, and Goldman. Let $\Sigma_{g}$ denote a…

We consider smooth representations of the unit group $G = \mathcal{A}^{\times}$ of a finite-dimensional split basic algebra $\mathcal{A}$ over a non-Archimedean local field. In particular, we prove a version of Gutkin's conjecture, namely,…

Motivated by the theory of graph limits, we introduce and study the convergence and limits of linear representations of finite groups over finite fields. The limit objects are infinite dimensional representations of free groups in…

A real representation of a finite group naturally determines a polytope, generalizing the well-known Birkhoff polytope. This paper determines the structure of the polytope corresponding to the natural permutation representation of a general…

These notes are based on a course given at the EPFL in May 2005. It is concerned with the representation theory of Hecke algebras in the non-semisimple case. We explain the role that these algebras play in the modular representation theory…

In this paper we describe the new model of the representations of the current groups with a semisimple Lie group of the rank one. In the earlier papers of 70-80-th (Araki, Gelfand-Graev-Vershik) had posed the problem about irreducible…

Following Arthur's study of the representations of the orthogonal and symplectic groups, we prove many cases of both the local and global Arthur conjectures for tempered representations of the unitary group. This completes the proof of…

We further develop and simplify the general theory of distinguished tame supercuspidal representations of reductive $p$-adic groups due to Hakim and Murnaghan, as well as the analogous theory for finite reductive groups due to Lusztig. We…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group and $H=G^{\theta}$ be its fixed point subgroup under a Galois involution $\theta$. We show that any $H$-distinguished representation $\pi$ (i.e $\mathrm{dim}_{\mathbb{C}}\left(\pi^{*}\right)^{H}\neq0$)…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the global categorical symmetries that arise when gauging finite higher groups in three or more dimensions. The motivation is to provide a common perspective on constructions of non-invertible…

We perform the computations necessary to establish a multiplicity one statement for the irreducible representations of a finite spin group which in turn yields the classification of irreducible representations of finite spin groups. (The…

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…

Representation theory of finite groups portrays a marvelous crossroad of group theory, algebraic combinatorics, and probability. In particular the Plancherel measure is a probability that arises naturally from representation theory, and in…

We establish upper and lower bounds on the dimension of the space spanned by the symmetric powers of the natural character of generalised symmetric groups. We adapt the methods of Savitt and Stanley from their paper `A note on the symmetric…

We investigate the rate of growth of the function of n which counts the number of complex irreducible representations of a fixed group of degree less than or equal to n. The emphasis is on linear groups, especially compact real and p-adic…

The goal of this paper is threefold. First, we describe the notion of dissociation for closed subgroups of the group of permutations on a countably infinite set and explain its numerous consequences on unitary representations…

In this note, we verify that several fundamental results from the theory of representations of reductive $p$-adic groups, extend to finite central extensions of these groups.

Primitive representations of finite groups as well as primitive finite groups were classified in the O'Nan-Scott Theorem. In this paper we classify faithful finite primitive semigroup representations. To each finite primitive…

This article began as a study of the structure of infinite permutation groups G in which point stabilisers are finite and all infinite normal subgroups are transitive. That led to two variations. One is the generalisation in which point…
