We give very flexible, concrete constructions of discrete and faithful epresentations of right-angled Artin groups into higher-rank Lie groups. Using the geometry of the associated symmetric spaces and the combinatorics of the groups, we…

Let G_0 be a simply connected noncompact real simple Lie group with maximal compact subgroup K_0. Assume that rank(G_0) = rank(K_0) so that G_0 has discrete series representations. If G_0/K_0 is Hermitian symmetric, there exists a…

This note provides new criteria on a unimodular group $G$ and a discrete series representation $(\pi, \mathcal{H}_{\pi})$ of formal degree $d_{\pi} > 0$ under which any lattice $\Gamma \leq G$ with $\text{vol}(G/\Gamma) d_{\pi} \leq 1$…

Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero and let SL(N) = SL(N,F). This article is devoted to studying the influence of the elliptic representations of SL(N) on the $K$-theory. We provide full arithmetic details. This…

In this paper we use families of finite subgroups to study Grothendieck rings associated to certain discrete groups, such as the arithmetic ones.

Harish-Chandra classified discrete series representations of real semisimple Lie groups by describing their characters as tempered distributions with an explicit formula on the elliptic set. His approach was inspired by Weyl's proof of the…

Given a simple Lie group $G$, we show that the lattices in $G$ are weakly uniformly discrete. This is a strengthening of the Kazhdan-Margulis theorem. Our proof however is straightforward --- considering general IRS rather than lattices…

We prove the following result in relative representation theory of a reductive p-adic group $G$: Let $U$ be the unipotent radical of a minimal parabolic subgroup of $G$, and let $\psi$ be an arbitrary smooth character of $U$. Let $S \subset…

Consider a simple algebraic group G of adjoint type, and its wonderful compactification X. We show that X admits a unique family of minimal rational curves, and we explicitly describe the subfamily consisting of curves through a general…

Any sufficiently often differentiable curve in the orbit space $V/G$ of a real finite-dimensional orthogonal representation $G \to O(V)$ of a finite group $G$ admits a differentiable lift into the representation space $V$ with locally…

Let $G/H$ be a $p$-adic symmetric space. We compute explicitly the higher relative extension groups for all discrete series representations of $G$ in two examples: the symplectic case and the linear case. The results have immediate…

The multidimensional quantization procedure, proposed by the first author and its modifications (reduction to radicals and lifting on U(1)-coverings) give us a almost universal theoretical tools to find irreducible representations of Lie…

We prove that groups definable in o-minimal structures have Cartan subgroups, and only finitely many conjugacy classes of such subgroups. We also delineate with precision how these subgroups cover the ambient group, in general very largely…

We check Sakellaridis-Venkatesh conjectures giving a description of the discrete spectrum of a spherical variety $\mathscr{X}=G/H$ in the Langlands-Arthur formalism when $G$ is a classical real group and $\mathscr{X}$ is a symmetric space.…

We construct an explicit realization of a minimal representation of G, where G is the conformal group of a real Jordan algebra N. We characterize spherical vectors for these representation and prove that they are closely related to the…

Cuspidal representations of a reductive p-adic group G over a field of characteristic different from p are relatively injective and projective with respect to extensions that split by a U-equivariant linear map for any subgroup U that is…

We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete…

Deformation K-theory associates to each discrete group G a spectrum built from spaces of finite dimensional unitary representations of G. In all known examples, this spectrum is 2-periodic above the rational cohomological dimension of G…

We introduce the notion of the depth of a finite group $G$, defined as the minimal length of an unrefinable chain of subgroups from $G$ to the trivial subgroup. In this paper we investigate the depth of (non-abelian) finite simple groups.…

This work is a spin-off of an on-going programme which aims at revisiting the original studies of Lie and Cartan on pseudogroups and geometric structures from a modern perspective. We encode geometric structures induced by transitive Lie…
