Using the Fronsdal-Galindo formula for the exponential mapping from the quantum algebra $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$ to the quantum group $GL_{p,q}(2)$, we show how the $(2j+1)$-dimensional representations of $GL_{p,q}(2)$ can be obtained by…

This paper provides a realization of all classical and most exceptional finite groups of Lie type as Galois groups over function fields over F_q and derives explicit additive polynomials for the extensions. Our unified approach is based on…

The principal character of a representation of the free group of rank two into PSL(2, C) is a triple of complex numbers that determines an irreducible representation uniquely up to conjugacy. It is a central problem in the geometry of…

We give a further extension and generalization of Dedekind's theorem over those presented by Yamaguchi. In addition, we give two corollaries on irreducible representations of finite groups and a conjugation of the group algebra of the…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of ${\rm PGL}_2({\mathbb F}_q)$, where $q$ is any prime power, and let $Q \in {\mathbb F}_q[x]$ such that ${\mathbb F}_q(x)/{\mathbb F}_q(Q(x))$ is a Galois extension with group $G$. By explicitly computing the Artin…

In this paper we construct certain irreducible infinite dimensional representations of algebraic groups with Frobenius maps. In particular, a few classical results of Steinberg and Deligne & Lusztig on complex representations of finite…

By generalizing Frobenius' polynomial method to good partition algebra, we will develop new character theories for a finite group $G$. A uniform defining equations are derived for these kinds of character theories. The new character…

It is proved that each of compact linear groups of one special type admits a polynomial factorization map onto a real vector space. More exactly, the group is supposed to be non-commutative one-dimensional and to have two connected…

We give an arithmetic criterion which is sufficient to imply the discreteness of various two-generator subgroups of $PSL(2,{\bold C})$. We then examine certain two-generator groups which arise as extremals in various geometric problems in…

Let Gamma be a torsion-free group which is hyperbolic relative to a collection of free abelian subgroups. We construct Makanin-Razborov diagrams for Gamma. We also prove that every system of equations over Gamma is equivalent to a finite…

This paper is the first in a sequence on the first order theory of free products. In the first paper we generalize the analysis of systems of equations over free and (torsion-free) hyperbolic groups, and analyze system of equations over…

We establish new strong factorization properties for the smooth vectors of representations of exponential solvable Lie groups on Fr\'{e}chet spaces. In particular, our results improve upon the Dixmier-Malliavin factorization theorem for…

We introduce the factorization graph of a finite group and study its connectedness and forbidden structures. We characterize all finite groups with connected factorization graphs and classify those with connected bipartite factorization…

We prove a rigidity theorem for semi-arithmetic Fuchsian groups: If $\Gamma_1$, $\Gamma_2$ are two semi-arithmetic lattices in $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ virtually admitting modular embeddings and $f\colon\Gamma_1\to\Gamma_2$ is a group…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense Kleinian Schottky subgroup of PSL2(C). Let $\Lambda(\Gamma)$ be its limit set, endowed with a Patterson-Sullivan measure $\mu$ supported on $\Lambda(\Gamma)$. We show that the Fourier transform…

We produce new short laws in two variables valid in finite groups of Lie type. Our result improves upon results of Kozma and the second named author, and is sharp up to logarithmic factors, for all families except possibly the Suzuki…

We generalize the Plesken-Fabia\'nska $\mathrm{L}_2$-quotient algorithm for finitely presented groups on two or three generators to allow an arbitrary number of generators. The main difficulty lies in a constructive description of the…

We give a conjectural presentation of the infinitely generated group PGL(2,Q) with an infinite list of relators.

We prove an inequality that must be satisfied by displacement of generators of free Fuchsian groups, which is the two-dimensional version of the $\log (2k-1)$ Theorem for Kleinian groups due to Anderson-Canary-Culler-Shalen. As…

A classical problem, raised by Fuchs in 1960, asks to classify the abelian groups which are groups of units of some rings. In this paper, we consider the case of finitely generated abelian groups, solving Fuchs' problem for such group with…
