This expository article revolves around the question to find short presentations of finite simple groups. This subject is one of the most active research areas of group theory in recent times. We bring together several known results on…

We use the structure of finite-dimensional graded algebras to develop the theory of antilinear representations of finite $C_2$-graded groups. A finite $C_2$-graded group is a finite group with a subgroup of index 2. In this theory the…

In various classes of infinite groups, we identify groups that are presentable by products, i.e. groups having finite index subgroups which are quotients of products of two commuting infinite subgroups. The classes we discuss here include…

We study the limit set of discrete subgroups arising from Anosov representations. Specially we study the limit set of discrete groups arising from strictly convex real projective structures and Anosov representations from a finitely…

We attempt to generalize the $p$-modular representation theory of finite groups to finite transporter categories, which are regarded as generalized groups. We shall carry on our tasks through modules of transporter category algebras, a type…

This is a survey article on the theory of finite complex reflection groups. No proofs are given but numerous references are included.

Several recent problems in the representation theory of finite groups require determining whether certain characters of almost simple groups belong to the principal block. Since the values of these characters are not yet known, we employ…

We study linear and hermitian representations of finite $C_2$-graded groups. We prove that the category of linear representations is equivalent to a category of antilinear representations as an $\infty$-category. We also prove that the…

The cohomology of the degree-$n$ general linear group over a finite field of characteristic $p$, with coefficients also in characteristic $p$, remains poorly understood. For example, the lowest degree previously known to contain nontrivial…

In this review, we have reached from the most basic definitions in the theory of groups, group structures, etc. to representation theory and irreducible representations of the Poincar'e group. Also, we tried to get a more comprehensible…

This is an expository paper aimed to outline the current situation with problems related with the occurrence of eigenvalue $1$ of elements in linear groups and group representations.

In this note, we study irreducible unitary representations of special linear groups of lower ranks, in terms of the matrix models of Gelfand-Naimark and Gelfand-Graev. Review of existing literature is provided. We also add some new…

This is the first of a three parts paper providing full details for our previous announcement in Pr\'epublications Orsay 2007-16, arXiv:0711.3579. Here we prove the results stated in the title.

The purpose of this informal article is to introduce the reader to some of the objects and methods of the theory of p-adic representations. My hope is that students and mathematicians who are new to the subject will find it useful as a…

In this article, we introduce the notion of representations of polyadic groups and we investigate the connection between these representations and those of retract groups and covering groups.

We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete…

Gelfand-Graev characters and their degenerate counterparts have an important role in the representation theory of finite groups of Lie type. Using a characteristic map to translate the character theory of the finite unitary groups into the…

Given a subgroup H of a finite group G, we begin a systematic study of the partial representations of G that restrict to global representations of H. After adapting several results from [DEP00] (which correspond to the case where H is…

This set of lecture notes is an expanded version of a mini-course the author gave in March of 2025 for the program ``Representation Theory \& Noncommutative Geometry" at the Institut Henri Poincar\'e, Paris. The goal is to provide a survey…

We develop the theory of $\Theta$-positive representations from general Fuchsian groups to linear groups over real closed fields. Our definition, which does not assume the boundary map to be continuous, encompasses many generalizations of…
