We examine from an algebraic point of view some families of unitary group representations that arise in mathematical physics and are associated to contraction families of Lie groups. The contraction families of groups relate different real…

We use duality theorems to obtain presentations of some categories of modules. To derive these presentations we generalize a result of Cautis-Kamnitzer-Morrison [arXiv:1210.6437v4]: Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a reductive Lie algebra, and $A$ an…

As a consequence of Kirchberg's work, Connes' Embedding Conjecture is equivalent to the property that every homomorphism of the group $F_\infty\times F_\infty$ into the unitary group $U(\ell^2)$ with the strong topology is pointwise…

In a recent paper of Benson and Symonds, a new invariant was introduced for modular representations of a finite group. An interpretation was given as a spectral radius with respect to a Banach algebra completion of the representation ring.…

For an infinite dimensional Lie group $G$ modelled on a locally convex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we prove that every smooth projective unitary representation of $G$ corresponds to a smooth linear unitary representation of a Lie group…

For each reductive algebraic group G we introduce and study unipotent bicrystals which serve as a regular version of birational geometric and unipotent crystals introduced earlier by the authors. The framework of unipotent bicrystals…

The unipotent variety of a reductive algebraic group $G$ plays an important role in the representation theory. In this paper, we will consider the closure $\bar{\Cal U}$ of the unipotent variety in the De Concini-Procesi compactification…

Let g be a Banach Lie algebra and \tau : g ---> g an involution. Write g=h+q for the eigenspace decomposition of g with respect to \tau and g^c := h+iq for the dual Lie algebra. In this article we show the integrability of two types of…

Given a quaternionic form G of a p-adic classical group (p odd) we classify all cuspidal irreducible representations of G with coefficients in an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. We prove two theorems: At…

The main result describes the Brauer-Nesbitt reduction of unipotent representations of a finite group of Lie type, expressing it as an explicit linear combination of the restriction of Weyl modules from the algebraic group to the group of…

This paper provides a construction of the unipotent representations for classical complex groups in terms of the Theta correspondence as introduced and studied by R. Howe. The K-type structure of unipotent representations is obtained as a…

For any special nilpotent orbit, let $\frac{1}{2}h^{\vee}$ be one half of the semisimple element of a Jacobson-Morozov triple associated to the orbit. In 1985, Barbasch and Vogan defined the notion of special unipotent representations with…

We show that parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of type $A$ compute the decomposition numbers in certain Harish-Chandra series of unipotent characters of finite groups of Lie types $B$, $C$ and $D$ over a field of non-defining…

Let $A$ be a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix, which is not of finite or affine type. Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra over a commutative ring $R$ with $1$. We construct an infinite-dimensional group $G_V(R)$…

If A is a finite dimensional nilpotent associative algebra over a finite field k, the set G=1+A of all formal expressions of the form 1+a, where a is an element of A, has a natural group structure, given by (1+a)(1+b)=1+(a+b+ab). A finite…

In this paper, we study the moduli space of unipotent Weil-Deligne representations valued in a split reductive group $G$ and characterise which irreducible components are smooth. We apply the smoothness results proved to show that a certain…

Let $G$ be a locally compact totally disconnected topological group. Under a necessary mild assumption, we show that the irreducible unitary representations of $G$ are uniformly admissible if and only if the irreducible smooth…

In a recent paper I defined a new basis for the Grothendieck group of unipotent representations of an almost simple Chevalley group over a finite field. The definition for classical types was different from that for exceptional types. In…

We prove the following result in relative representation theory of a reductive p-adic group $G$: Let $U$ be the unipotent radical of a minimal parabolic subgroup of $G$, and let $\psi$ be an arbitrary smooth character of $U$. Let $S \subset…

Given an almost unimodular $G$, so that the Plancherel weight $\varphi_G$ on the group von Neumann algebra $L(G)$ is almost periodic, we show that the basic construction for the inclusion $L(G)^{\varphi_G} \leq L(G)$ is isomorphic to a…
