We construct the positive principal series representations for $U_q(g_R)$ where $g$ is of type $B_n$, $C_n$, $F_4$ or $G_2$, parametrized by $R^r$ where $r$ is the rank of $g$. We show that under the representations, the generators of the…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$ and let $W_{2}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We prove that for any integer $n$ such that $p$ divides $n$, the groups…

In this paper we list all possible degrees of a faithful transitive permutation representation of the group of symmetries of a regular map of types $\{4,4\}$ and $\{3,6\}$ and we give examples of graphs, called CPR-graphs, representing some…

We construct a resolution of irreducible complex representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ by restrictions of representations of $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$ (where $S_n$ is the subgroup of permutation matrices). This categorifies a recent result…

Let $F_n$ be the free group on $n\ge 2$ elements and $\A(F_n)$ its group of automorphisms. In this paper we present a rich collection of linear representations of $\A(F_n)$ arising through the action of finite index subgroups of it on…

For a group $G$, we denote by $m_{faithful}(G)$, the smallest dimension of a faithful complex representation of $G$. Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean local field with the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$ and the maximal ideal $\mathfrak{p}$. In…

In this article, by studying the Bernstein degrees and Goldie rank polynomials, we establish a comparison between the irreducible representations of $G=\textrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ possessing the minimal Gelfand-Kirillov dimension and those…

Given a subgroup H of a finite group G, we begin a systematic study of the partial representations of G that restrict to global representations of H. After adapting several results from [DEP00] (which correspond to the case where H is…

In this article we calculate the minimal faithful permutation degree for all of the irreducible Coxeter groups. We also exhibit new examples of finite groups that possess a quotient whose minimal degree is strictly greater than that of the…

The two-parametric quantum superalgebra $U_{pq}[gl(2/2)]$ and its representations are considered. All finite-dimensional irreducible representations of this quantum superalgebra can be constructed and classified into typical and nontypical…

For a finite group $G$, let $p(G)$ denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of $G$. The minimal degree of a faithful representation of $G$ by quasi-permutation matrices over the fields $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{Q}$…

In this paper, we study the representations of the triplet group $L_n$, where $n$ is a positive integer, and its extensions to the virtual and welded triplet groups $VL_n$ and $WL_n$, respectively. We first introduce $L_n$, its extensions,…

We determine which orthogonal representations V of GL(n,q) lift to the double cover Pin(V ) of the orthogonal group O(V ). We cover all n and prime powers q, except for (n; q) =(3,4).

Let F_q be the finite field with q elements. Consider the standard embedding GL(n,F_q) -> GL(n+1,F_q). In this paper we prove that for every irreducible representation pi of GL(n+1,F_q) over algebraically closed fields of characteristic…

Based on an idea in [Gan--Savin, Represent. Theory (2005)], we give a classification of minimal representations of connected simple real Lie groups not of type $A$. Actually, we prove that there exist no new minimal representations up to…

We obtain formulae for the minimum transformation degrees of the most well-studied families of finite diagram monoids, including the partition, Brauer, Temperley--Lieb and Motzkin monoids. For example, the partition monoid $P_n$ has degree…

The main goal of this paper is to compute $\mu(\g)$ and $\mu_{nil}(\g)$ for each nilpotent Lie algebra $\g$ of dimension 6 over a field of characteristic zero $\k$. Here $\mu(\g)$ and $\mu_{nil}(\g)$ is the minimal dimension of a faithful…
