We consider the group algebra over the field of complex numbers of the Weyl group of type B (the hyperoctahedral group, or the group of signed permutations) and of the Weyl group of type D (the demihyperoctahedral group, or the group of…

This document is the first iteration of an attempt to collate information about small-rank groups of Lie type over small fields, and their representation theory over the defining field. This information is important in the author's work on…

The representation theory of semisimple algebraic groups over the complex numbers (equivalently, semisimple complex Lie algebras or Lie groups, or real compact Lie groups) and the question of whether a given representation is symplectic or…

The purpose of this paper is to develop a Lie algebraic approach to obtain new proofs of important results of H.-C. Wang, Tits and Wolf-Wang-Ziller on compact complex homogeneous manifolds emphasizing only those that admit a transitive…

Motivated by the Langlands program in representation theory, number theory and geometry, the theory of representations of a reductive $p$-adic group over a coefficient ring different from the field of complex numbers has been widely…

We generate by computer a basis of invariants for the fundamental representations of the exceptional Lie groups E(6) and E(7), up to degree 18. We discuss the relevance of this calculation for the study of supersymmetric gauge theories, and…

This paper is devoted to the study of topological quotients of compact linear Lie groups. More precisely, it investigates the question of when such a quotient is a topological or a smooth manifold. The topological quotient of a finite…

There is a compactification of the space of representations of a finitely generated group into the groups of isometries of all spaces with $\Delta$-thin triangles. The ideal points are actions on $\mathbb R$-trees. It is a geometric…

We discuss a Moser type argument to show when a deformation of a Lie group homomorphism and of a Lie subgroup is trivial. For compact groups we obtain stability results.

We examine various consequences of the existence of exceptional representations of an irreducible Weyl group. (These are notes from a talk in the MIT Lie groups seminar.)

A diverse collection of fusion categories may be realized by the representation theory of quantum groups. There is substantial literature where one will find detailed constructions of quantum groups, and proofs of the…

Lie systems form a class of systems of first-order ordinary differential equations whose general solutions can be described in terms of certain finite families of particular solutions and a set of constants, by means of a particular type of…

In this survey, we study representations of finitely generated groups into Lie groups, focusing on the deformation spaces of convex real projective structures on closed manifolds and orbifolds, with an excursion on projective structures on…

An overview of the history of projective representations (= spin representations) of groups, preceded by the prehistory of studies on the theory of quaternion due to Rodrigues and Hamilton. Beginning with Schur, we cover many mathematicians…

We introduce a linearly ordered lattice $\mu(Grp)$ of torsion theories in simplicial groups. The torsion theories are defined where the torsion/torsion-free subcategories are given by the simplicial groups with bounded above/below Moore…

Half Lie groups exist only in infinite dimensions: They are smooth manifolds and topological groups such that right translations are smooth, but left translations are merely required to be continuous. The main examples are groups of $H^s$…

Lie groups of automorphisms of cotangent bundles of Lie groups are completely characterized and interesting results are obtained. We give prominence to the fact that the Lie groups of automorphisms of cotangent bundles of Lie groups are…

D. K. Biss (Topology and its Applications 124 (2002) 355-371) introduced the topological fundamental group and presented some interesting basic properties of the notion. In this article we intend to extend the above notion to homotopy…

We present a modern formulation of \'Elie Cartan's structure theory for Lie pseudogroups and prove a reduction theorem that clarifies the role of Cartan's systatic system. The paper is divided into three parts. In part one, using notions…

In 1984 Milnor had shown how to deduce the Lie-Palais theorem on integration of infinitesimal actions of finite-dimensional Lie algebras on compact manifolds from general theory of regular Lie groups modelled on locally convex spaces. We…
