For every $c\geq 1$, we define a strengthening of Kazhdan's Property (T) by considering uniformly bounded representations $\pi$ with fixed bound $|\pi|\leq c$. We carry out a systematic study of this property and show that it can be…

We consider the restriction and induction of representations between a covering group and its derived subgroup, both on the representation-theoretic side and the L-parameter side. In particular, restriction of a genuine principal series is…

We study the limiting behavior of the discrete spectra associated to the principal congruence subgroups of a reductive group over a number field. While this problem is well understood in the cocompact case (i.e., when the group is…

We develop the representation theory of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary commutative semiring with unit, in particular classifying the irreducible and minimal representations. The results for an arbitrary semiring are as good as the…

We explain, following Gromov, how to produce uniform isometric actions of groups starting from isometric actions without fixed point, using common ultralimits techniques. This gives in particular a simple proof of a result by Shalom:…

The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups $G$, and to describe their connections to classical representation…

We consider spatial discretizations by the finite section method of the restricted group algebra of a finitely generated discrete group, which is represented as a concrete operator algebra via its left-regular representation. Special…

Using a new definition of rank for representations of semisimple groups sharp results are proved for the decay of matrix coefficients of unitary representations of two types of non-split $p$-adic simple algebraic groups of exceptional type.…

We show that a compact representation of a semisimple Lie group has an orthogonal decomposition into finite length representations. This generalises and simplifies a number of more special spectral theorems in the literature. We apply it to…

A parametrization of irreducible unitary representations associated with the regular adjoint orbits of a hyperspecial compact subgroup of a reductive group over a non-dyadic non-archimedean local filed is presented. The parametrization is…

We investigate the action of outer automorphisms of finite groups of Lie type on their irreducible characters. We obtain a definite result for cuspidal characters. As an application we verify the inductive McKay condition for some further…

We characterize finite-dimensional thick representations over ${\Bbb C}$ of connected complex semi-simple Lie groups by irreducible representations which are weight multiplicity-free and whose weight posets are totally ordered sets.…

We exhibit explicit infinite families of finitely presented, Kazhdan, simple groups that are pairwise not measure equivalent. These groups are lattices acting on products of buildings. We obtain the result by studying vanishing and…

For any finitely generated abelian group $Q$, we reduce the problem of classification of $Q$-graded simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of "good" characteristic to the problem of classification of gradings on simple Lie…

This survey paper concerns mainly with some asymptotic topological properties of finitely presented discrete groups: quasi-simple filtration (QSF), geometric simple connectivity (GSC), topological inverse-representations, and the notion of…

We develop a general framework for spectral gap inequalities for Gibbs measures on infinite dimensional spin spaces over nilpotent Lie groups in terms of weak U-bounds and weak single-site spectral gap inequalities. We then provide…

We extend the notions of "$R_\infty$-property" and "full (extended) Reidemeister spectrum" to finite groups in a meaningful way. We provide examples of finite groups admitting these properties, if they exist, by looking at groups of small…

We show that for any finitely generated subgroup $H$ of a limit group $L$ there exists a finite-index subgroup $K$ containing $H$, such that $K$ is a subgroup of a group obtained from $H$ by a series of extensions of centralizers and free…

We prove that the order of a finite group $G$ with trivial solvable radical is bounded above in terms of ${\rm acd}(G)$, the average degree of the irreducible characters. It is not true that the index of the Fitting subgroup is bounded…

We study the subgroup structure, Hecke algebras, quasi-regular representations, and asymptotic properties of some fractal groups of branch type. We introduce parabolic subgroups, show that they are weakly maximal, and that the corresponding…
