Parreau compactified the Hitchin component of a closed surface $S$ of negative Euler characteristic in such a way that a boundary point corresponds to the projectivized length spectrum of an action of $\pi_1(S)$ on an $\mathbb R$-Euclidean…

Given a closed, oriented surface X of genus g>1, and a semisimple Lie group G, let R_G be the moduli space of reductive representations of the fundamental group of X in G. We determine the number of connected components of R_PGL(n,R), for…

In this paper, we prove that we can recover the genus of a closed compact surface $S$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ from the restriction to a generic line of the Fourier transform of the canonical measure carried by $S$. We also show that the…

Let F be a nonarchimedean locally compact field with residue characteristic p and G(F) the group of F-rational points of a connected reductive group. Following Schneider and Stuhler, one can realize, in a functorial way, any smooth complex…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

We describe a family of representations of $\pi_1(\Sigma)$ in PU(2,1), where $\Sigma$ is a hyperbolic Riemann surface with at least one deleted point. This family is obtained by a bending process associated to an ideal triangulation of…

In this paper we prove theorems that describe how the representation theory of the affine Hecke algebra of type A and of related algebras such as the group algebra of the symmetric group are controlled by integrable highest weight…

We describe a Hopf algebraic approach to the Grothendieck ring of representations of subgroups $H_\pi$ of the general linear group GL(n) which stabilize a tensor of Young symmetry $\{\pi\}$. It turns out that the representation ring of the…

We study which representations $\rho$ of the fundamental group of a compact oriented surface $X$ admit Higgs data that depend holomorphically on the Riemann surface $\Sigma\,=\, (X,\, J)$ via non-abelian Hodge correspondence. For…

In this note we show that the representation of the additive group of the Hilbert space $L^2([0,1],\R)$ on $L^2([0,1],\C)$ given by the multiplication operators $\pi(f) := e^{if}$ is continuous but its space of smooth vectors is trivial.…

We generalize a result, on the pro-representability of Milnor $K$-cohomology groups at the identity, that's due to Bloch. In particular, we prove, for $X$ a smooth, proper, and geometrically connected variety defined over an algebraic field…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive complex algebraic group with a maximal torus $T$. We denote by $\Lambda$ the cocharacter lattice of $(T,G)$. Let $\Lambda^+ \subset \Lambda$ be the submonoid of dominant coweights. For $\lambda \in…

We introduce \emph{k-positive representations}, a large class of $\{1,\ldots,k\}$--Anosov surface group representations into PGL(E) that share many features with Hitchin representations, and we study their degenerations: unless they are…

We introduce a new approach to representation theory of finite groups that uses some basic algebraic geometry and allows to do all the theory without using characters. With this approach, to any finite group $G$ we associate a finite number…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and $\rho$ be an $n$-dimensional (non-critical generic) crystabelline representation of the absolute Galois group of $K$ of regular Hodge-Tate weights. We associate to $\rho$ an explicit…

Let $G$ be a discrete group with property (T). It is a standard fact that, in a unitary representation of $G$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, almost invariant vectors are close to invariant vectors, in a quantitative way. We begin by…

Let P(S) be the space of convex projective structures on a surface S with negative Euler characteristic. Goldman and Bonahon-Dreyer constructed two different sets of global coordinates for P(S), both associated to a pair of pants…

We prove that any Borel Anosov representations of a surface group into $Sp(4,\mathbb{R})$ that has maximal Toledo invariant must be Hitchin. We also prove that a representation of a surface group into $Sp(2n,\mathbb{R})$ that is…

We consider compact locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma\backslash G/H$ where $G/H$ is a non-compact semisimple symmetric space and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$. We discuss some features of the joint spectrum of the (commutative)…

We study representations of $GL_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ that are distinguished with respect to a symmetric subgroup $H=GL_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})^{\sigma}$, where $\sigma$ is an involution. We prove that those representations satisfy $\pi \cong…
