Let $R$ be a principal ideal local ring of finite length with a finite residue field of odd characteristic. Let $G(R)$ denote either the general linear group or the general unitary group of degree two over $R$. We study the decomposition of…

We develop a theory of levels for irreducible representations of symmetric groups of degree $n$ analogous to the theory of levels for finite classical groups. A key property of level is that the level of a character, provided it is not too…

Let $ \chi $ be a character of a complex irreducible representation of a finite group $G$. We present a simple formula for the expectation of the random variable $(|\chi|/\chi(1))^{t} $ in terms of character ratios $…

For any irreducible character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$, let $\theta(\chi)$ denote the proportion of elements $g\in G$ for which $\chi(g)$ is either zero or a root of unity. Then for any $L\in[1/2,1]$ and any $\epsilon>0$, there exists…

We describe the tensor products of two irreducible linear complex representations of the finite general linear group G = GL(3,q) in terms of induced representations by linear characters of maximal torii and also in terms of Gelfand-Graev…

For every finite quasisimple group of Lie type $G$, every irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, and every element $g$ of $G$, we give an exponential upper bound for the character ratio $|\chi(g)|/\chi(1)$ with exponent linear in $\log_{|G|}…

Let G be a finite solvable group and $\chi\in \Irr(G)$ be a faithful character. We show that the derived length of G is bounded by a linear function of the number of distinct irreducible constituents of $\chi\bar{\chi}$. We also discuss…

Given a finite-dimensional faithful representation $V$ of a linearly reductive group $G$ over a field $K=\bar K$, we consider the growth of the number of irreducible factors of $V^{\otimes n}$ when $n$ is large. We prove that there exist…

Let \chi be an irreducible character of the finite group G. If g is an element of G and \chi(g) is not zero, then we conjecture that the order of g divides |G|/\chi(1). The conjecture is a generalization of the classical fact that…

The representation zeta function of a profinite group $G$ encodes the distribution of continuous irreducible complex representations of $G$ as a function of the dimension. Its abscissa of convergence $\alpha(G)$ describes the polynomial…

We study the solvable groups $G$ that have an irreducible character $\chi\in \Irr(G)$ such that $\chi \bar{\chi}$ has at most two non-principal irreducible constituents.

This paper studies the locally uniform exponential growth and product set growth for a finitely generated group $G$ acting properly on a finite product of hyperbolic spaces. Under the assumption of coarsely dense orbits or shadowing…

For any element $g$ of compact reductive group $G$ we investigate the asymptotic behavior of its normalized irreducible character in the high-dimension limit, $\frac{\chi_\lambda(g)}{d_\lambda}$. We show that when $G$ is simple the limit…

We study the representation growth of alternating and symmetric groups in positive characteristic and restricted representation growth for the finite groups of Lie type. We show that the the number of representations of dimension at most n…

Let G be a finite p-group, for some prime p, and $\psi, \theta \in \Irr(G)$ be irreducible complex characters of G. It has been proved that if, in addition, $\psi,\theta$ are faithful characters, then the product $\psi\theta$ is a multiple…

Let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group, $\chi$ and $\psi$ be irreducible complex characters of $G$ of prime degree. Assume that $\chi(1)=p$. Then either the product $\chi\psi$ is a multiple of an irreducible character or $\chi\psi$ is the…

Consider an arithmetic group $\mathbf{G}(O_S)$, where $\mathbf{G}$ is an affine group scheme with connected, simply connected absolutely almost simple generic fiber, defined over the ring of $S$-integers $O_S$ of a number field $K$ with…

Let G be an arithmetic lattice in a semisimple algebraic group over a number field. We show that if G has the congruence subgroup property, then the number of n-dimensional irreducible representations of G grows like n^a, where a is a…

From an irreducible representation of GL(n, C) there is a natural way to construct an irreducible representations of GL(n + 1, C) by adding a zero at the end of the highest weight of the irreducible representation of GL(n, C). The paper…

We give a description of non-growing subsets in linear groups, which extends the Product theorem for simple groups of Lie type. We also give an account of various related aspects of growth in linear groups.
