We show that every unitary representation of a solvable discrete virtually nilpotent group G is quasidiagonal. Roughly speaking, this says that every unitary representation of G approximately decomposes as a direct sum of finite dimensional…

Let $H$ be a semisimple Hopf algebra acting on an Artin-Schelter regular algebra $A$, homogeneously, inner-faithfully, preserving the grading on $A$, and so that $A$ is an $H$-module algebra. When the fixed subring $A^H$ is also AS regular,…

The Eulerian idempotents, first introduced for the symmetric group and later extended to all reflection groups, generate a family of representations called the Eulerian representations that decompose the regular representation. In Type $A$,…

This paper studies unitary representations with Dirac cohomology for complex groups, in particular relations to unipotent representations

We investigate the concept of definable, or inner, automorphism in the logical setting of partial Horn theories. The central technical result extends a syntactical characterization of the group of such automorphisms (called the covariant…

Using elementary graded automorphisms of polytopal algebras (essentially the coordinate rings of projective toric varieties) polyhedral versions of the group of elementary matrices and the Steinberg and Milnor groups are defined. They…

We use hypersurface support to classify thick (two-sided) ideals in the stable categories of representations for several families of finite-dimensional integrable Hopf algebras: bosonized quantum complete intersections, quantum Borels in…

By a theorem of D. Wigner, an irreducible unitary representation with non-zero $(\frak{g},K)$-cohomology has trivial infinitesimal character, and hence up to unitary equivalence, these are finite in number. We have determined the number of…

In math.RT/0302174 we developed a framework to study representations of groups of the form $G((t))$, where $G$ is an algebraic group over a local field $K$. The main feature of this theory is that natural representations of groups of this…

Let $K$ be a field and $G$ be a group of its automorphisms. If $G$ is precompact then $K$ is a generator of the category of smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) $K$-semilinear representations of $G$. There are non-semisimple smooth…

Theta series for exceptional groups have been suggested as a possible description of the eleven-dimensional quantum supermembrane. We present explicit formulae for these automorphic forms whenever the underlying Lie group $G$ is split (or…

To each irreducible infinite dimensional representation $(\pi,\cH)$ of a $C^*$-algebra $\cA$, we associate a collection of irreducible norm-continuous unitary representations $\pi_{\lambda}^\cA$ of its unitary group $\U(\cA)$, whose…

We study finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface S. In particular, we construct invariants of such irreducible representations when the underlying parameter q is a root of unity. The main one of these…

For any knot, the following are equivalent. (1) The infinite cyclic cover has uncountably many finite covers; (2) there exists a finite-image representation of the knot group for which the twisted Alexander polynomial vanishes; (3) the knot…

We show that the space of invariants for the Weil representation for discriminant groups which contain self-dual isotropic subgroups is spanned by the characteristic functions of the self-dual isotropic subgroups. As an application, we…

Considering real spacetime as a Lorentzian fiber in a complex manifold, there is a mismatch of the elementary linear representations of their symmetry groups, the real and complex Poincar\'{e} groups. No spinors are allowed as linear…

The representations of the Schr\"odinger group in one space dimension are explicitly constructed in the basis of the harmonic oscillator states. These representations are seen to involve matrix orthogonal polynomials in a discrete variable…

In this short note we show that representation and character varieties of discrete groups can be viewed as tensor products of suitable functors over the PROP of cocommutative Hopf algebras. Such view point has several interesting…

For a tuple of square complex-valued $N\times N$ matrices $A_1,\dots,A_n$ the determinant of their linear combination $x_1A_1+\cdots +x_nA_n$, which is called \textit{a pencil}, is a homogeneous polynomial of degree $N$ in $\C[x_1,...x_n]$.…

A Gelfand model for a finite group $G$ is a complex linear representation of $G$ that contains each of its irreducible representations with multiplicity one. For a finite group $G$ with a faithful representation $V$, one constructs a…
