We first note that a result of Gowers on product-free sets in groups has an unexpected consequence: If k is the minimal degree of a representation of the finite group G, then for every subset B of G with $|B| > |G| / k^{1/3}$ we have B^3 =…
We give a general lower bound on the rank of matrices of the form $\rho(h) - I$ with $\rho : G \rightarrow GL({\mathbb F}^n)$ an irreducible representation of a finite group $G$. The main tool in the proof is a (strengthening) of a…
A representation of finite-dimensional probabilistic models in terms of formally real Jordan algebras is obtained, in a strikingly easy way, from simple assumptions. This provides a framework in which real, complex and quaternionic quantum…
Let $G$ be a reductive $p$-adic group. We prove that all supercuspidal representations of $G$ arise through Yu's construction subject to certain hypotheses on $k$ (depending on $G$). As a corollary, under the same hypotheses, we see that…
Let C be a complex smooth projective algebraic curve endowed with an action of a finite group G such that the quotient curve has genus at least 3. We prove that if the G-curve C is very general for these properties, then the natural map…
We obtain a complete classification of the continuous unitary representations of oligomorphic permutation groups (those include the infinite permutation group $S_\infty$, the automorphism group of the countable dense linear order, the…
Let $R$ be a semilocal Dedekind domain. Under certain assumptions, we show that two (not necessarily unimodular) hermitian forms over an $R$-algebra with involution, which are rationally ismorphic and have isomorphic semisimple coradicals,…
This paper builds on our previous work in which we showed that, for all connected semisimple linear Lie groups $G$ acting on a non-compactly causal symmetric space $M = G/H$, every irreducible unitary representation of $G$ can be realized…
We show that for the family of complex reflection groups $G=G(m,p,2)$ appearing in the Shephard--Todd classification, the endomorphism ring of the reduced hyperplane arrangement $A(G)$ is a non-commutative resolution for the coordinate ring…
A parametrization of irreducible representations associated with a regular adjoint orbit of a classical group over finite quotient rings of the ring of integer of a non-dyadic non-archimedean local field is presented. The parametrization is…
If $G$ is a finite group or a torus, it is known that there is an isomorphism between the Grothendieck group of homotopy representations and that of generalized homotopy representations for $G$. We prove that there is such an isomorphism…
The near-completion of the program of endoscopy poses the question of what lies next. This article takes a broad view of ideas beyond the program of endoscopy, highlighting the connections among them, and emphasizing the relationship…
If A is a finite dimensional nilpotent associative algebra over a finite field k, the set G=1+A of all formal expressions of the form 1+a, where a is an element of A, has a natural group structure, given by (1+a)(1+b)=1+(a+b+ab). A finite…
Let $X$ be a variety with an action by an algebraic group $G$. In this paper we discuss various properties of $G$-equivariant $D$-modules on $X$, such as the decompositions of their global sections as representations of $G$ (when $G$ is…
We give a simple combinatorial description of the elliptic endoscopic data of a twisted space under a group $G$, assuming that $G$ is semi-simple and simply connected. Assuming the same hypothesis and that the base field is a number field,…
Let g be a complex semisimple Lie algebra, tau a point in the upper half-plane, and h a complex deformation parameter such that the image of h in the elliptic curve E_tau is of infinite order. In this paper, we give an intrinsic definition…
In this paper we study the universal lifting spaces of local Galois representations valued in arbitrary reductive group schemes when $\ell \neq p$. In particular, under certain technical conditions applicable to any root datum we construct…
In this paper, the 2-category $\mathfrak{Rep}_{{\bf 2Mat}_{\mathbb{C}}}(\mathbb{G})$ of (weak) representations of an arbitrary (weak) 2-group $\mathbb{G}$ on (some version of) Kapranov and Voevodsky's 2-category of (complex) 2-vector spaces…
This paper studies the behavior of Jiu-Kang Yu's tame supercuspidal representations relative to involutions of reductive p-adic groups. Symmetric space methods are used to illuminate various aspects of Yu's construction. Necessary…
Given a quasi-split reductive group $G$ and a symmetric variety $X$, we introduce a notion of endoscopic varieties for $(G,X)$, and establish the foundational properties of these varieties such as matching of stable semi-simple orbits. To…
