We suggest a method of constructing special nonunitary representations of semisimple Lie groups using representations of Iwasawa subgroups. As a typical example, we study the group $U(2,2)$.

We give a proof, using so-called fusion rings and q-deformations of Brauer algebras that the representation ring of an orthogonal or symplectic group can be obtained as a quotient of a ring Gr(O(\infinity)). This is obtained here as a…

In [arXiv:1912.02063], we constructed 3-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) using not necessarily semisimple modular categories. Here, we study projective representations of mapping class groups of surfaces defined by…

Let ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ elements. Let $\Bbbk$ be a field such that $\op{char} \Bbbk \ne \op{char} \mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we study the extensions of…

In 1986, Spencer Bloch gave an abstract definition of a (regulator) map from higher Chow groups to Deligne-Beilinson cohomology. This map can be defined on the underlying complexes, and Kerr, Lewis and M\"uller-Stach gave an explicit…

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 define the almost characters of G(F_q) where G is a reductive connected group over a finite field F_q as explicit linear combinations of irreducible characters. Previously these were defined assuming that the centre of G is connected.

By a theorem of D. Wigner, an irreducible unitary representation with non-zero $(\frak{g},K)$-cohomology has trivial infinitesimal character, and hence up to unitary equivalence, these are finite in number. We have determined the number of…

First, I construct an isomorphism between the categories of (topological) groups of nilpotency class 2 with 2-divisible center and (topological) Lie rings of nilpotency class 2 with 2-divisible center. That isomorphism allows us to…

We first review some invariant theoretic results about the finite subgroups of SU(2) in a quick algebraic way by using the McKay correspondence and quantum affine Cartan matrices. By the way it turns out that some parameters (a,b,h;p,q,r)…

Let $U_1, U_2$ be connected commutative unipotent algebraic groups defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a bimultiplicative $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_\ell$-local system on $U_1\times…

We introduce a category of $q$-oscillator representations over the quantum affine superalgebras of type $D$ and construct a new family of its irreducible representations. Motivated by the theory of super duality, we show that these…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a connected reductive group over $\mathcal{O}$, a complete discrete valuation ring with finite residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $R_{T_r,U_r}^{\theta}$ be a level $r$ Deligne--Lusztig representation of…

We give combinatorial models for complex, smooth, non-spherical, generic, irreducible representations of the group G=PGL(2,F), where F is a non-archimedean locally compact field. They use the graphs X_k lying above the tree of G, introduced…

The construction approach proposed in the previous paper Ref. 1 allows us there and in the present paper to construct at generic deformation parameter $q$ all finite--dimensional representations of the quantum Lie superalgebra…

We determine precisely the number of irreducible summands of an irreducible cross characteristic representation of $GL_{n}(q)$ on restriction to $SL_{n}(q)$. Combined with a recent result of C. Bonnafe, this yields a canonical labeling for…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

We establish the homological foundations for studying polynomially bounded group cohomology, and show that the natural map from PH^*(G;Q) to H^*(G;Q) is an isomorphism for a certain class of groups.

For an isotropic reductive group G satisfying a suitable rank condition over an infinite field k, we show that the sections of the $\mathbb{A}^1$-fundamental group sheaf of G over an extension field L/k can be identified with the second…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$. The classification of the conjugacy classes of unipotent elements of $G(k)$ and nilpotent orbits of $G$ on $\operatorname{Lie}(G)$ is…
