We address the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for an arbitrary group, not necessarily finite, to admit a faithful irreducible representation over an arbitrary field.

We classify irreducible representations of the special linear groups in positive characteristic with small weight multiplicities with respect to the group rank and give estimates for the maximal weight multiplicities. For the natural…

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We study a generalization of the notion of G-complete reducibility in the context of Steinberg endomorphisms of G. Our…

An analogue of Burnside's Lemma for 2-transitive groups is shown to hold for a class of topological groups. If the group is compact the representation is finite and splits into an irreducible and the constant functions. If both the group…

A quantum Markov semigroup can be represented via classical diffusion processes solving a stochastic Schr\"odinger equation. In this paper we first prove that a quantum Markov semigroup is irreducible if and only if classical diffusion…

We prove that the Witten--Reshetikhin--Turaev $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ quantum representations of mapping class groups are always irreducible in the case of surfaces equipped with colored banded points, provided that at least one banded point is…

Let $G$ be a split reductive group over a local field $\bK$, and let $G((t))$ be the corresponding loop group. In \cite{GK} we have introduced the notion of a representation of (the group of $\bK$-points) of $G((t))$ on a pro-vector space.…

We show the irreducibility of some unitary representations of the group of symplectomorphisms and the group of contactomorphisms.

We perform the computations necessary to establish a multiplicity one statement for the irreducible representations of a finite spin group which in turn yields the classification of irreducible representations of finite spin groups. (The…

In this paper, we show that the class of representable residuated semigroups has the finite representation property. That is, every finite representable residuated semigroup is representable over a finite base. This result gives a positive…

The well known Andrews-Curtis Conjecture [2] is still open. In this paper, we establish its finite version by describing precisely the connected components of the Andrews-Curtis graphs of finite groups. This finite version has independent…

We introduce the Pythagorean dimension: a natural number (or infinity) for all representations of the Cuntz algebra and certain unitary representations of the Richard Thompson groups called Pythagorean. For each natural number d we…

We classify all triples $(G,V,H)$ such that $SL_n(q)\leq G\leq GL_n(q)$, $V$ is a representation of $G$ of dimension greater than one over an algebraically closed field $\FF$ of characteristic coprime to $q$, and $H$ is a proper subgroup of…

We obtain a complete classification of the continuous unitary representations of oligomorphic permutation groups (those include the infinite permutation group $S_\infty$, the automorphism group of the countable dense linear order, the…

We study the complex irreducible representations of special linear, symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups over principal ideal local rings of length two. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible representations of…

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field, let $G$ be a split connected reductive group over $F$. For a parabolic subgroup $Q\subset G$ and a ring $L$ we consider the $G$-representation on the $L$-module$$(*)\quad\quad\quad\quad…

Irreducibility of the set of quantum field operators has been proved in noncommutative quantum field theory in the general case when time does not commute with spatial variables.
