Given a finitely generated residually finite group $G$, the residual finiteness growth $\text{RF}_G: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ bounds the size of a finite group $Q$ needed to detect an element of norm at most $r$. More specifically, if…
We consider the quantum double D(G) of a compact group G, following an earlier paper. We use the explicit comultiplication on D(G) in order to build tensor products of irreducible *-representations. Then we study their behaviour under the…
The semidirect product $\mathbb{G}=\mathbb{L}\rtimes \mathbb{K}$ attached to a compact-group action on a connected, simply-connected solvable Lie group has a dense set of compact elements precisely when the $s\in \mathbb{K}$ operating on…
For an irreducible character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$, let $\mathrm{cod}(\chi):=|G: \ker(\chi)|/\chi(1)$ denote the codegree of $\chi$, and let $\mathrm{cod}(G)$ be the set of irreducible character codegrees of $G$. In this note, we…
Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real form of $G$. We construct a sequence of functors $L_i\mathcal{R}$ from admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of $G$ to admissible (resp.…
For a finite group $G$, the representation dimension is the smallest integer realizable as the degree of a complex faithful representation of $G$. In this article, we compute representation dimension for some $p$-groups, their direct…
The growth rate function $r_N$ counts the number of irreducible representations of simple complex Lie groups of dimension $N$. While no explicit formula is known for this function, previous works have found bounds for $R_N=\sum_{i=1}^Nr_i$.…
We give very precise bounds for the congruence subgroup growth of arithmetic groups. This allows us to determine the subgroup growth of irreducible lattices of semisimple Lie groups. In the most general case our results depend on the…
The aim of this work is to study finite dimensional representations of the Lie superalgebra psl(2|2) and their tensor products. In particular, we shall decompose all tensor products involving typical (long) and atypical (short)…
We show that a tensor product of irreducible, finite dimensional representations of a simple Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero, determines the individual constituents uniquely. This is analogous to the uniqueness of prime…
The purpose of the present paper is to investigate a hypergroup arising from irreducible characters of a compact group G and a closed subgroup of G with finite index. The convolution of this hypergroup is introduced by inducing irreducible…
Let $G=\mathrm{GL}_{2n}(\mathbb{R})$ or $G=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{H})$ and $H=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ regarded as a subgroup of $G$. Here, $\mathbb{H}$ is the quaternion division algebra over $\mathbb{R}$. For a character $\chi$ on…
The tensor product algebra TA(n) for the complex general linear group GL(n), introduced by Howe et al., describes the decomposition of tensor products of irreducible polynomial representations of GL(n). Using the hive model for the…
We analyse a class of quantum field theory models illustrating some of the possibilities that have emerged in the general study of the short distance properties of superselection sectors, performed in a previous paper (together with R.…
We first note that a result of Gowers on product-free sets in groups has an unexpected consequence: If k is the minimal degree of a representation of the finite group G, then for every subset B of G with $|B| > |G| / k^{1/3}$ we have B^3 =…
We prove that for a suitable class of representations of free group tensor products are generically irreducible. In particular we prove that there exist irreducible boundary realizations with infinite dimensional fiber.
Let p be a prime number. Let G be a finite p-group and $\chi \in Irr(G)$. Denote by $\bar{\chi} \in Irr(G)$ the complex conjugate of $\chi$. Assume that $\chi(1)=p^n$. We show that the number of distinct irreducible constituents of the…
We determine all maximal subgroups of the direct product $\sc G^n$ of $\sc n$ copies of a group~$\sc G$. If $\sc G$ is finite, we show that the number of maximal subgroups of~$\sc G^n$ is a quadratic function of~$\sc n$ if $\sc G$ is…
We study the action of a finite group on the Riemann-Roch space of certain divisors on a curve. If $G$ is a finite subgroup of the automorphism group of a projective curve $X$ over an algebraically closed field and $D$ is a divisor on $X$…
In this series of papers, we investigate properties of a finite group which are determined by its low degree irreducible representations over a number field $F$, i.e. its representations on matrix rings $\operatorname{M}_n(D)$ with $n \leq…
