Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus at least $2$. For each maximal representation $\rho: \pi_1(S)\rightarrow\mathsf{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$ in one of the $2g-3$ exceptional connected components, we prove there is a unique conformal structure on…

A Schottky group in PSL(2, C) induces an open hyperbolic handlebody and its ideal boundary is a closed orientable surface S whose genus is equal to the rank of the Schottky group. This boundary surface is equipped with a (complex)…

Let $G$ be the group of $F$-points of a split connected reductive $F$-group over a non-Archimedean local field $F$ of characteristic 0. Let $\pi$ be an irreducible smooth self-dual representation of $G$. The space $W$ of $\pi$ carries a…

We combine Gromov's amenable localization technique with the Poincar\'{e} duality to study the traversally generic vector flows on smooth compact manifolds $X$ with boundary. Such flows generate well-understood stratifications of $X$ by the…

The Hitchin component is a connected component of the character variety of reductive group homomorphisms from the fundamental group of a closed surface S of genus greater than 1 to the Lie group PSL_m(R). The Teichmuller space of S…

As a consequence of his numerical local Langlands correspondence for $GL(n)$, Henniart deduced the following theorem: If $F$ is a nonarchimedean local field and if $\pi$ is an irreducible admissible representation of $GL(n,F)$, then, after…

Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, let $A$ be a partially ordered algebra, and let $\pi\colon \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm c}(X)\to A$ be a positive algebra homomorphism. Under conditions on $A$ that are satisfied in a good number of…

One of the key problems in dealing with color in rendering, shading, compositing, or image manipulation is that we do not have algebraic structures that support operations over colors. In this paper, we present an all-encompassing framework…

We initiate the study of characters of surface groups and their corresponding tracial representations. We show that any tracial representation can be approximated arbitrarily well in the Wasserstein topology by factorial tracial…

Let $G$ be a group with subgroup $H$, and let $(\pi,V)$ be a complex representation of $G$. The natural action of the normalizer $N$ of $H$ in $G$ on the space $\mathrm{Hom}_H(\pi,\mathbb{C})$ of $H$-invariant linear forms on $V$, provides…

We give the full representation theory of the gravitational extended corner symmetry group in two-dimensions. This includes projective representations, which correspond to representations of the quantum corner symmetry group. We find that…

The symmetries provided by representations of the centrally extended Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{psl}(2|2)$ are known to play an important role in the spin chain models originated in the planar anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory…

We study the volume of maximal representations from a surface group into $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,3)$. We show that it is bounded from above, uniformly in the genus of the surface. We also prove that on the Gothen components, it is bounded from…

We give combinatorial models for complex, smooth, non-spherical, generic, irreducible representations of the group G=PGL(2,F), where F is a non-archimedean locally compact field. They use the graphs X_k lying above the tree of G, introduced…

Let $S$ be an oriented surface of genus $g$ and $n$ punctures. The periods of any meromorphic differential on $S$, with respect to a choice of complex structure, determine a representation $\chi:\Gamma_{g,n} \to\mathbb C$ where…

Given a finite group $G$ acting on a surface $S$, the centralizer of G in the mapping class group $\textrm{Mod}(S)$ has a natural representation given by its action on the homology $H_1(S; \mathbb{Q})$. We consider the question of whether…

Given a finitely generated group $\Gamma$, a directed graph $\Lambda$, and a map $R:\Lambda\to\Gamma$, we introduce the notion of an $(R,\Lambda)$-directed Anosov representation. This is a weakening of the notion of Anosov representations.…

Let $G$ be a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $\rho :G\rightarrow GL(V_\lambda)$ be an irreducible representation of highest weight $\lambda$. Suppose that $\rho$ has finite kernel. Springer defined…

Partial vertex cover and partial dominating set are two well-investigated optimization problems. While they are $\rm W[1]$-hard on general graphs, they have been shown to be fixed-parameter tractable on many sparse graph classes, including…

We show that every unitary positive energy representation W of the Virasoro algebra exponentiates to a holomorphic *-representation of the semigroup of annuli by bounded operators on the Hilbert space completion of W. We use this to show…
