The aim of the present survey paper is to provide an accessible introduction to a new chapter of representation theory - harmonic analysis for noncommutative groups with infinite-dimensional dual space. I omitted detailed proofs but tried…

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…

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…

This paper is concerned with the values of Harish-Chandra characters of a class of positive-depth, toral, very supercuspidal representations of $p$-adic symplectic and special orthogonal groups, near the identity element. We declare two…

When $G$ is a connected compact Lie group, and $\pi$ is a closed surface group, then $Hom(\pi,G)$ contains an open dense $Out(\pi)$-invariant subset which is a smooth symplectic manifold. This symplectic structure is $Out(\pi)$-invariant…

We give a complete list of indecomposable characters of the infinite symmetric semigroup. In comparison with the analogous list for the infinite symmetric group, one should introduce only one new parameter, which has a clear combinatorial…

We study asymptotics of reducible representations of the symmetric groups S_q for large q. We decompose such a representation as a sum of irreducible components (or, alternatively, Young diagrams) and we ask what is the character of a…

Let $\mathfrak{o}$ be the ring of integers of a non-archimedean local field with residue field of odd characteristic, $\mathfrak{p}$ be its maximal ideal and let $\mathfrak{o}_\ell = \mathfrak{o}/\mathfrak{p}^\ell$ for $\ell\ge 2$. In this…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a totally real field $F$ which is compact modulo center at archimedean places. We find congruences modulo an arbitrary power of p between the space of arbitrary automorphic forms on $G(\mathbb…

A representation $\Phi: G \to \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{F})$ of a finite group $G$ is called unisingular if the matrix $\Phi(g)$ admits $1$ as an eigenvalue for any $g\in G$. In this paper, we determine all the complex irreducible unisingular…

When n is odd, consider the finite general linear and unitary groups of rank n, extended by the inverse transpose automorphism. There are elements in the extended groups which square to a regular unipotent element, and we evaluate the…

Let $G_\cpl$ be a connected complex reductive Lie group, and $G$ be a real form. Let $(\pi,V)$ be a finite-dimensional irreducible representation of $G$. Assume $(\pi,V)$ admits a $G$ invariant hermitian form. {In…

In 1878, Jordan proved that if a finite group $G$ has a faithful representation of dimension $n$ over $\mathbb{C}$, then $G$ has a normal abelian subgroup with index bounded above by a function of $n$. The same result fails if one replaces…

We prove that regular supercuspidal representations of $p$-adic groups are uniquely determined by their character values on very regular elements -- a special class of regular semisimple elements on which character formulae are very simple…

We establish new bounds on character values and character ratios for finite groups $G$ of Lie type, which are considerably stronger than previously known bounds, and which are best possible in many cases. These bounds have the form…

The Pieri rule gives an explicit formula for the decomposition of the tensor product of irreducible representation of the complex general linear group GL(n,C) with a symmetric power of the standard representation on C^n. It is an important…

Let $G$ be a general linear group over $\BR$, $\BC$, or $\BH$, or a real unitary group. In this paper, we precisely describe the number of isomorphism classes of irreducible Casselman-Wallach representations of $G$ with a given…

Let $\ell$ be a prime and let $q$ be a prime power not divisible by $\ell$. Put $G=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathrm{F}_q)$ and fix an irreducible cuspidal representation, $\bar{\pi}$, of $G$ over a sufficiently large finite field, $k$, of…

Let $F$ be a local field, let ${\mathcal O}$ be its integer ring and $\varpi$ a uniformizer of its maximal ideal. To an irreducible complex finite dimensional smooth representation $\pi$ of $GL(2,{\mathcal O})$ is associated a pair of…

For a central division algebra $D$ of dimension $d^2$ over a finite extension $F$ of $\mathbb Q_p$ or of $\mathbb F_p((t))$, a field $R$ of characteristic prime to $p$, and an irreducible smooth $R$-representation $\pi$ of $G=GL_n(D)$, we…
