Let G be a connected simple adjoint p-adic group not isomorphic to a projective linear group PGL(m,D) of a division algebra D, or an adjoint ramified unitary group of a split hermitian form in 3 variables. We prove that G admits an…

We introduce and study the class of spherically ordered groups. The notions of spherically ordered groups and their spectra of spherical orderability are introduced. Values of these spectra are found for a series of natural groups.

In this note we produce examples of converging sequences of Galois representations, and study some of their properties. Some of the results here are used in the preprint math.NT/0210296.

Let G be a p-adic Lie group. This paper is about the Jordan-Hoelder series of locally analytic G-representations which are induced from locally algebraic representations of a parabolic subgroup.

Quasirational (pro-$p$)presentations are studied. The difference between aspherical and quasirational presentations sheds some light on the Whitehead's conjecture. We confirm expectations O.V. Melnikov on existence of a proper class of…

We give a brief introduction to the notion of an 'approximate group' and some of its numerous applications.

We prove several surjectivity criteria for $p$-adic representations. In particular, we classify all adjoint and simply connected group schemes $G$ over the Witt ring $W(k)$ of a finite field $k$ such that the epimorphism…

The author's work with Murnaghan on distinguished tame supercuspidal representations is re-examined using a simplified treatment of Jiu-Kang Yu's construction of tame supercuspidal representations of $p$-adic reductive groups. This leads to…

We determine all genuine special unipotent representations of real spin groups and quaternionic spin groups, and show in particular that all of them are unitarizable. We also show that there are no genuine special unipotent representations…

We give a method to construct new self-adjoint representations of the braid group. In particular, we give a family of irreducible self-adjoint representations of dimension arbitrarily large. Moreover we give sufficient conditions for a…

We give parameterizations of the irreducible representations of finite groups of Lie type in their defining characteristic.

Extending earlier work of Guralnick and of Cai and Zhang, we classify the almost simple groups which have transitive permutation representations of prime power degree $p^k$, and those which have $p$-complements (stabilisers of order coprime…

We present a series of examples of precompact, noncompact, reflexive topological Abelian groups. Some of them are pseudocompact or even countably compact, but we show that there exist precompact non-pseudocompact reflexive groups as well.…

We establish a lower bound for the representation dimension of all the classical Hecke algebras of types A, B and D. For all the type A algebras, and most of the algebras of types B and D, we also establish upper bounds. Moreover, we…

This is a survey of results on partially commutative groups and partially commutative algebras.

This paper reviews recent results and open problems on the conductor of finite group characters, highlighting their connections to one another and to broader topics in the representation theory of finite groups.

The goal of this article is to construct explicitly a p-adic family of representations (which are dihedral representations), to construct their associated (phi,Gamma)-modules by writing down explicit matrices for phi and for the action of…

A representation of heterogeneous stochastic populations that are composed of sub-populations with different levels of distinguishability is introduced together with an analysis of its properties. It is demonstrated that any instance of…

In 2007, B. Poonen (unpublished) studied the $p$--adic closure of a subgroup of rational points on a commutative algebraic group. More recently, J. Bella\"iche asked the same question for the special case of Abelian varieties. These…

We survey the known results regarding the boundaries of word-hyperbolic groups.
