A symmetry in quantum mechanics is described by the projective representations of a Lie symmetry group that transforms between physical quantum states such that the square of the modulus of the states is invariant. The Heisenberg…

The holomorph of a discrete group $G$ is the universal semi-direct product of $G$. In chapter 1 we describe why it is an interesting object and state main results. In chapter 2 we recall the classical definition of the holomorph as well as…

Drinfeld twists, and the twists of Giaquinto and Zhang, allow for algebras and their modules to be deformed by a cocycle. We prove general results about cocycle twists of algebra factorisations and induced representations and apply them to…

V.F. Molchanov considered the Hilbert series for the space of invariant skew-symmetric tensors and dual tensors with polynomial coefficients under the action of a real reflection group, and speculated that it had a certain product formula…

We study basic properties of the category of smooth representations of a p-adic group G with coefficients in any commutative ring R in which p is invertible. Our main purpose is to prove that Hecke algebras are noetherian whenever R is ; a…

In this paper we introduce a notion of Poincar\'e exponent for isometric representations of discrete groups on Hilbert spaces. Similarly as growth exponents control the geometry this exponent is shown to control the size of spectral gaps.…

We define a cohomology for an arbitrary $K$-linear semistrict semigroupal 2-category $(\mathfrak{C},\otimes)$ (called in the paper a Gray semigroup) and show that its first order (unitary) deformations, up to the suitable notion of…

We apply previous results on the representations of solvable linear algebraic groups to construct a new class of free divisors whose complements are $K(\pi, 1)$'s. These free divisors arise as the exceptional orbit varieties for a special…

We study the representation theory of Dynkin quivers of type A in abstract stable homotopy theories, including those associated to fields, rings, schemes, differential-graded algebras, and ring spectra. Reflection functors, (partial)…

An oscillator group $G$ is a semidirect product of a Heisenberg group with a one-parameter group. In this article we construct Olshanski semigroups for infinite-dimensional oscillator groups. These are complex involutive semigroups which…

Let $G$ be a group coacting on an Artin-Schelter regular algebra $A$ homogeneously and inner-faithfully. When the identity component $A_e$ is also Artin-Schelter regular, providing a generalization of the Shephard-Todd-Chevalley Theorem, we…

It is well known that the category of super Lie groups (SLG) is equivalent to the category of super Harish-Chandra pairs (SHCP). Using this equivalence, we define the category of unitary representations (UR's) of a super Lie group. We give…

Let $G$ be a countable group. We introduce several equivalence relations on the set ${\rm Sub}(G)$ of subgroups of $G$, defined by properties of the quasi-regular representations $\lambda_{G/H}$ associated to $H\in {\rm Sub}(G)$ and compare…

We prove standard results of group cohomology -- namely, existence of a long exact sequence, classification of torsors via the first cohomology group, Shapiro's lemma, the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence, a decomposition of the cochain…

For a finite group acting on a polynomial ring, the Chevalley-Shephard-Todd Theorem proves that the fixed subring is isomorphic to a polynomial ring if and only if the group is generated by pseudo-reflections. In recent years, progress was…

We describe a Hopf algebraic approach to the Grothendieck ring of representations of subgroups $H_\pi$ of the general linear group GL(n) which stabilize a tensor of Young symmetry $\{\pi\}$. It turns out that the representation ring of the…

The theory of representations of a crossed module is a direct generalization of the theory of representations of groups. For a finite group G, the Drinfeld quantum double of the group G is a Hopf algebra that represents a special case of…

The theory of representations of Clifford algebras is extended to employ the division algebra of the octonions or Cayley numbers. In particular, questions that arise from the non-associativity and non-commutativity of this division algebra…

Given a finite nonabelian semisimple group $G$, we describe those groups that have the same holomorph as $G$, that is, those regular subgroups $N\simeq G$ of $S(G)$, the group of permutations on the set $G$, such that…

We define a sheaf of abelian groups whose cohomology is represented by the cotangent complex. We show how obstructions to some standard deformation problems arise as the classes of torsors under and gerbes banded by this sheaf.
