We obtain a description of the irreducible representation algebra of the alternating group of degree four over the ring of 2-adic integers.

Given a 2-stranded tangle in a $\ZZ/2$ homology ball, $T\subset Y$, we investigate the character variety $R(Y,T)$ of conjugacy classes of traceless SU(2) representations of $\pi_1(Y\setminus T)$. In particular we completely determine the…

Let $G$ be a Lie-group and $\Ga\subset G$ a cocompact lattice. For a finite-dimensional, not necessarily unitary representation $\om$ of $\Ga$ we show that the $G$-representation on $L^2(\Ga\bs G,\om)$ admits a complete filtration with…

The SU$(1,1)$ group plays a fundamental role in various areas of physics, including quantum mechanics, quantum optics, and representation theory. In this work we revisit the holomorphic discrete series representations of SU$(1,1)$, with a…

We obtain an embedding of a one-parameter family of exceptional simple Lie superalgebras $D(2, 1 ; \alpha)$ into the Lie superalgebra of pseudodifferential symbols on the supercircle $S^{1|2}$. Correspondingly, there is an embedding of…

Let $n\le 5$ be an integer, and let $\Gamma$ be a finite group. We prove that if $\rho , \rho': \Gamma \to O(n)$ are two representations that are conjugate by an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism, then they are conjugate by an element…

We classify all finite 2-groups that have a cyclic or dihedral maximal subgroup and determine their automorphism groups. Based on this result, we classify all pairs $ (G,\mathcal{M}) $, such that $ G $ is a finite 2-group and $ \mathcal{M}…

We prove that all lattices of Sp(2n,R), except those commensurable with Sp(4k+2,Z) when n=2k+1, contain the image of infinitely many mapping class group orbits of Zariski-dense maximal representation that are continuous deformations of…

Spinor representation of group GL(4,R) on special spinor space is developed. Representation space has a structure of the fiber space with the space of diagonal metricses as the base and standard spinor space as typical fiber. Non-isometric…

We introduce and study certain hyperbolic versions of automorphic Lie algebras related to the modular group. Let $\Gamma$ be a finite index subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ with an action on a complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak…

SU(1,1) is considered as the automorphism group of the Heisenberg algebra H. The basis in the Hilbert space K of functions on H on which the irreducible representations of the group are realized is explicitly constructed. The addition…

We study the unitary representations of the non-compact real forms of the complex Lie superalgebra sl(n|m). Among them, only the real form su(p,q|m) (p+q=n) admits nontrivial unitary representations, and all such representations are of the…

The $N=4$ SU(2)$_k$ superconformal algebra has the global automorphism of SO(4) $\approx$ SU(2)$\times$SU(2) with the {\it left} factor as the Kac-Moody gauge symmetry. As a consequence, an infinite set of independent algebras labeled by…

In this paper we show that for a connected compact Lie group to be acceptable it is necessary and sufficient that its derived subgroup is isomorphic to a direct product of the groups $\SU(n)$, $\Sp(n)$, $\SO(2n+1)$, $\G_2$, $\SO(4)$. We…

We provide explicit uniform type (2,3)-generators for the special linear group SL_{12}(q) for all q except for q=2 or 4. Our considerations are easily traceable, self-contained and based only on the known list of maximal subgroups of this…

This paper continues the project of constructing the character formulae for the positive energy unitary irreducible representations of the N-extended D=4 conformal superalgebras su(2,2/N). In the first paper we gave the bare characters…

We realize all irreducible unitary representations of the group $\mathrm{SO}_0(n+1,1)$ on explicit Hilbert spaces of vector-valued $L^2$-functions on $\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}$. The key ingredient in our construction is an explicit…

The symplectic group branching algebra, B, is a graded algebra whose components encode the multiplicities of irreducible representations of Sp(2n-2,C) in each irreducible representation of Sp(2n,C). By describing on B an ASL structure, we…

We compute the l-modular decomposition matrices of the simple Ree groups 2F4(q^2), where q^2=2^{2n+1} and n is a positive integer, for all primes l > 3 up to some entries in the unipotent characters. Using these matrices we determine the…
