This is an expository book on unitary representations of topological groups, and of several dual spaces, which are spaces of such representations up to some equivalence. The most important notions are defined for topological groups, but a…

In this paper, we answer affirmatively a question of H S Sim on representations in characteristic $0$, for a class of metabelian groups. Moreover, we provide examples to point out that the analogous answer is no longer valid if the solvable…

Let $F$ be a locally compact non-archimedean field of residue characteristic $p$, $\textbf{G}$ a connected reductive group over $F$, and $R$ a field of characteristic $p$. When $R$ is algebraically closed, the irreducible admissible…

The holomorph of a discrete group $G$ is the universal semi-direct product of $G$. In chapter 1 we describe why it is an interesting object and state main results. In chapter 2 we recall the classical definition of the holomorph as well as…

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…

The faithful dimension of a finite group $\mathrm G$ over $\mathbb C$, denoted by $m_\mathrm{faithful}(\mathrm G)$, is the smallest integer $n$ such that $\mathrm G$ can be embedded in $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb C)$. Continuing our previous…

In this paper we describe some properties of groups $G$ that contain a solvable subgroup of finite prime-power index (Theorem 1 and Corollaries 2--3). We prove that if $G$ is a non-solvable group that contains a solvable subgroup of index…

An approach to representations of finite groups is presented without recourse to character theory. Considering the group algebra C[G] as an algebra of linear maps on C[G] (by left multiplication), we derive the primitive central idempotents…
