We provide a series of examples of finite groups G and mod p representations V of G whose stable endomorphisms are all given by scalars such that V has a universal deformation ring R(G,V) which is large in the sense that R(G,V)/pR(G,V) is…

We give a proof of a conjecture of Lehrer and Shoji regarding the occurrences of the exterior powers of the reflection representation in the cohomology of Springer fibers. The actual theorem proved is a slight extension of the original…

We classify all irreducible generic $\mathrm{VI}$-modules in non-describing characteristic. Our result degenerates to yield a classification of irreducible generic $\mathrm{FI}$-modules in arbitrary characteristic. Our result can also be…

We classify the finite dimensional irreducible representations of rectangular finite $W$-algebras, i.e., the finite $W$-algebras $U(\mathfrak{g}, e)$ where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a symplectic or orthogonal Lie algebra and $e \in \mathfrak{g}$ is…

Let $W$ be a Coxeter group and $r\in W$ a reflection. If the group of order 2 generated by $r$ is the intersection of all the maximal finite subgroups of $W$ that contain it, then any isomorphism from $W$ to a Coxeter group $W'$ must take…

We give criteria for real, complex and quaternionic representations to define s-representations, focusing on exceptional Lie algebras defined by spin representations. As applications, we obtain the classification of complex representations…

A finite subgroup of $GL(n,\mathbb C)$ is involutory if the sum of the dimensions of its irreducible complex representations is given by the number of absolute involutions in the group. A uniform combinatorial model is constructed for all…

We determine the eigenvalues with multiplicity of each element of an alternating group in any irreducible representation. This is equivalent to determining the decomposition of cyclic representations of alternating groups into irreducibles.…

Suppose $G$ is a real reductive group. The determination of the irreducible unitary representations of $G$ is one of the major unsolved problem in representation theory. There is evidence to suggest that every irreducible unitary…

Irreducible representations of quantum groups $SL_q(2)$ (in Woronowicz' approach) were classified in J.Wang, B.Parshall, Memoirs AMS 439 in the~case of $q$ being an~odd root of unity. Here we find the~irreducible representations for all…

We introduce the class of projective reflection groups which includes all complex reflection groups. We show that several aspects involving the combinatorics and the representation theory of all non exceptional irreducible complex…

The tensor square conjecture states that for $n \geq 10$, there is an irreducible representation $V$ of the symmetric group $S_n$ such that $V \otimes V$ contains every irreducible representation of $S_n$. Our main result is that for large…

Let E be a division ring and G a finite group of automorphisms of E whose elements are distinct modulo inner automorphisms of E. Given a representation \rho: B-> GL(d,E) of an F-algebra B, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…

We characterize the irreducible representations of the general linear group GL(V) that have multiplicity 1 in the direct sum of all Schur modules of a given exterior power of V. These have come up in connection with the relations of the…

Given a reflection $r$ in a Coxeter group $W$ (possibly of infinite rank), we consider the subgroup of $W$ generated by the reflections in $W$ having (-1)-eigenvectors orthogonal to the (-1)-eigenvector of $r$. In this paper, we determine…

Let $G$ and $T$ be topological groups, $\alpha : T \to \Aut(G)$ a homomorphism defining a continuous action of $T$ on $G$ and $G^\sharp := G \rtimes_\alpha T$ the corresponding semidirect product group. In this paper we address several…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group defined over $\CC$ with a finite dimensional representation $V$. The action of $G$ is said to be skew multiplicity-free (SMF) if the exterior algebra $\bigwedge V$ contains no irreducible…

Let $U$ be an algebraic subgroup of the group of $n\times n$ upper-triangular matrices with units on the diagonal over a finite field of large enough characteristic, and $\mathfrak{n}$ be the Lie algebra of $U$. The main tool in…

Let $W\subset GL(V)$ be a complex reflection group, and ${\mathscr A}(W)$ the set of the mirrors of the complex reflections in $W$. It is known that the complement $X({\mathscr A}(W))$ of the reflection arrangement ${\mathscr A}(W)$ is a…

We consider local non-Gorenstein rings of the form $(S_i,\mathfrak{n}_i)=k[X, Y_1, \ldots ,Y_i]/\left(X^2, (Y_1, \ldots, Y_i)^2\right), $ where $i\geq 2.$ We show that every totally reflexive $S_i$-module has a presentation matrix of the…
