In this paper, we study the representations of the triplet group $L_n$, where $n$ is a positive integer, and its extensions to the virtual and welded triplet groups $VL_n$ and $WL_n$, respectively. We first introduce $L_n$, its extensions,…

For uniform lattices $\Gamma$ in rank 1 Lie groups, we construct Anosov representations of virtual doubles of $\Gamma$ along certain quasiconvex subgroups. We also show that virtual HNN extensions of these lattices over some cyclic…

In this paper we study irreducible matrix representations of the welded braid group $WB_n$, also known as the group of conjugating automorphisms of a free group $F_n.$ We prove that $WB_n$ has no irreducible representations of dimension…

The Lawrence representation $L_{n,m}$ is a family of homological representation of the braid group $B_n$, which specializes to the reduced Burau and the Lawrence-Krammer representation when $m$ is 1 and 2. In this article we show that the…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over a $p$-adic field or number field $K$, and let $V$ be a $K$-linear faithful representation of $G$. A lattice $\Lambda$ in the vector space $V$ defines a model $\hat{G}_{\Lambda}$ of $G$ over…

We construct representations of the braid groups B_n on n strands on free Z[q,q^-1,s,s^-1]-modules W_{n,l} using generic Verma modules for an integral version of quantum sl_2. We prove that the W_{n,2} are isomorphic to the faithful…

For a central division algebra $D$ of dimension $d^2$ over a finite extension $F$ of $\mathbb Q_p$ or of $\mathbb F_p((t))$, a field $R$ of characteristic prime to $p$, and an irreducible smooth $R$-representation $\pi$ of $G=GL_n(D)$, we…

In a previous work [11], the author considered a representation of the braid group \rho: B_n\to GL_m(\Bbb Z[q^{\pm 1},t^{\pm 1}]) (m=n(n-1)/2), and proved it to be faithful for n=4. Bigelow [3] then proved the same representation to be…

We show that for any finite-dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ of infinite representation type, over a perfect field, there is a bounded principal ideal domain $\Gamma$ and a representation embedding from $\Gamma -$mod into $\Lambda -$mod. As an…

Let $G$ be a split reductive group over a local field $\bK$, and let $G((t))$ be the corresponding loop group. In \cite{GK} we have introduced the notion of a representation of (the group of $\bK$-points) of $G((t))$ on a pro-vector space.…
