We characterize finite groups G generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space V whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two in terms of the corresponding quotient space V/G with its quotient…

In this paper the author finds explicitly all finite-dimensional irreducible representations of a series of finite permutation groups that are homomorphic images of Artin braid group.

Draisma recently proved that polynomial representations of $\mathbf{GL}_{\infty}$ are topologically noetherian. We generalize this result to algebraic representations of infinite rank classical groups.

We show that a finitely generated soluble group is virtually nilpotent if and only if the diameter of its finite coset spaces admits a uniform polynomial lower bound in terms of their size. We obtain the same conclusion for certain finitely…

We state a conjecture on the reduction modulo the defining characteristic of a unipotent representation of a finite reductive group.

We continue the study of glider representations of finite groups $G$ with given structure chain of subgroups $e \subset G_1 \subset \ldots \subset G_d = G$. We give a characterization of irreducible gliders of essential length $e \leq d$…

If $G$ and $H$ are finitely generated residually nilpotent groups, then $G$ and $H$ are in the same nilpotent genus if they have the same lower central quotients (up to isomorphism). A stronger condition is that $H$ is para-$G$ if there…

Here we show that a finite nilpotent group is 2-closed if and only if it is either cyclic or a direct product of a generalized quaternion group with a cyclic group of odd order.

We give a homological characterisation of relatively prosolvable projective groups.

In the paper we study finitely generated linear groups of finite rank which have faithful irreducible primitive representations over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that if an infinite finitely generated linear group $G$ of finite…

A representation of a finitely generated group into the projective general linear group is called convex co-compact if it has finite kernel and its image acts convex co-compactly on a properly convex domain in real projective space. We…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group and let G be a complex reductive algebraic group. The representation variety $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,G)$ and the character variety $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,G)//G$ each carry a natural topology,…

We develop a framework to construct geometric representations of finite groups $G$ through the correspondence between real toric spaces $X^{\mathbb R}$ and simplicial complexes with characteristic matrices. We give a combinatorial…

The functions $F_{G}(n)$ measures the asymptotic behavior of residual finiteness for a finitely generated group $G$. In previous work \cite{Pengitore_1}, the author claimed a characterization for $F_{N}(n)$ when $N$ is a finitely generated…

The article covers developments in the representation theory of finite group schemes over the last fifteen years. We start with the finite generation of cohomology of a finite group scheme and proceed to discuss various consequences and…

We construct projective unitary representations of the smooth Deligne cohomology group of a compact oriented Riemannian manifold of dimension 4k+1, generalizing positive energy representations of the loop group of the circle. We also…

We survey various constructions of finite dimensional projective representations of mapping class groups derived from stated skein algebras.

We give a method to produce representations of the braid group $B_n$ of $n-1$ generators ($n\leq \infty$). Moreover, we give sufficient conditions over a non unitary representation for being of this type. This method produces examples of…

In the first part, we prove that the dominion (in the sense of Isbell) of a subgroup of a finitely generated nilpotent group is trivial in the category of all nilpotent groups. In the second part, we show that the dominion of a subgroup of…

We define a `nice representation' of a finitely presented group G as being a non-degenerate essentially surjective simplicial map f from a `nice' space X into a 3-complex associated to a presentation of G, with a strong control over the…
