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…
These notes aim to give a gentle account to one approach to the theory of finite sets without making use of the natural numbers. They were written to be used as the basis for a student seminar. There are no real prerequisites except for a…
The present notes are based on a course given by J-P.Serre at ENSJF in 1978/79 on the elementary properties of finite groups. They were first written down by M.Buhler and C.Goldstein (Montrouge 1979), then revised and put in LaTeX by…
In this paper, using some properties of fundamental groups and covering spaces of connected polyhedra and CW-complexes, we present topological proof for some famous theorems about finitely presented groups.
This document gives a list of finite semigroups that are interesting from the point of view of Krohn-Rhodes complexity theory. The list will be expanded and updates as "time goes by".
Brief lecture notes for a course about random matrices given at the University of Cambridge.
Computations in the cohomology of finite groups.
We study 2-representations, i.e., actions of 2-groups on 2-vector spaces. Our main focus is character theory for 2-representations. To this end we employ the technique of extended Burnside rings. Our main theorem is that the Ganter-Kapranov…
In this paper we discuss various aspects of the problem of determining the minimal dimension of an injective linear representation of a finite semigroup over a field. We outline some general techniques and results, and apply them to…
This is a series of lecture notes explaining topos theory and its application in physics.
In this paper we explicitly compute finite bases of disjunctive identities and finite bases of regular representations for a number of interesting finite groups.
We investigate two notions about descriptions of groups using first-order language: quasi-finite axiomatizability, concerning infinite groups, and polylogarithmic compressibility, concerning classes of finite groups.
We study the automorphism group of the algebraic closure of a substructure A of a pseudo-finite field F, or more generally, of a bounded PAC field F. This paper answers some of the questions of [1], and in particular that any finite group…
The aim of this paper is to study some continuous-time bivariate Markov processes arising from group representation theory. The first component (level) can be either discrete (quasi-birth-and-death processes) or continuous (switching…
This is a survey article on some recent developments in the arithmetic theory of linear algebraic groups over higher-dimensional fields, written for the Notices of the AMS.
These are notes for my Takagi lecture at the University of Tokyo in November, 2016. I survey what is known about simple modules for reductive algebraic groups. The emphasis is on characteristic p>0 and Lusztig's character formula. I explain…
A complete classification and character formulas for finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the rational Cherednik algebra of type A is given. Less complete results for other types are obtained. Links to the geometry of affine…
We prove that divergent, extended geometrically finite (in the sense of Weisman arXiv:2205.07183) representations can be interpreted as restricted Anosov (in the sense of Tholozan--Wang arXiv:2307.02934) representations over certain flow…
A Coxeter group admits infinite-dimensional irreducible complex representations if and only if it is not finite or affine. In this paper, we provide a construction of some of those representations for certain Coxeter groups using some…
The concept of quantum representation of finite groups (QRFG) has been a fundamental aspect of quantum computing for quite some time, playing a role in every corner, from elementary quantum logic gates to the famous Shor's and Grover's…
