In this paper we review and streamline some results of Kirillov, Olshanski and Pickrell on unitary representations of the unitary group $\U(\cH)$ of a real, complex or quaternionic separable Hilbert space and the subgroup $\U_\infty(\cH)$,…
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…
Using our recent results on eigenvalues of invariants associated to the Lie superalgebra gl(m|n), we use characteristic identities to derive explicit matrix element formulae for all gl(m|n) generators, particularly non-elementary…
We consider some special type extensions of an arbitrary Lie algebra, which we call universal extensions. We show that these extensions are in one-to-one correspondence with finite dimensional associative commutative algebras. We also…
We prove that all finitely generated fully residually free groups (limit groups) have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that `strongly converge' to the regular representation of the group. The corresponding statement…
An irreducible representation of a reductive Lie algebra, when restricted to a Cartan subalgebra, decomposes into weights with multiplicity. The first part of this paper outlines a procedure to compute symmetric polynomials (e.g., power…
There is considerable current interest in applications of generalised Lie algebras graded by an abelian group $\Gamma$ with a commutative factor $\omega$. This calls for a systematic development of the theory of such algebraic structures.…
Let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real reductive Lie group and $G'_{\mathbb{R}}$ a reductive subgroup of $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ such that $\mathfrak{g'}$ is algebraic in $\mathfrak{g}$. In this paper, we consider restrictions of irreducible…
In a recent paper of Benson and Symonds, a new invariant was introduced for modular representations of a finite group. An interpretation was given as a spectral radius with respect to a Banach algebra completion of the representation ring.…
We show that if a countably generated Lie algebra $H$ does not contain isomorphic copies of certain finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras $A$ and $B$ (satisfying some mild conditions), then $H$ embeds into a quotient of $A \ast B$ that…
We analyze the elements characterizing the theory of induced representations of Lie groups, in order to generalize it to quantum groups. We emphasize the geometric and algebraic aspects of the theory, because they are more suitable for…
We show how a polar representation of a compact connected Lie group can be linearly determined from its dimension and isotropy subgroup data in the general reducible case.
The Wigner-Eckart theorem is a well known result for tensor operators of SU(2) and, more generally, any compact Lie group. This paper generalises it to arbitrary Lie groups, possibly non-compact. The result relies on knowledge of recoupling…
We show that a compact representation of a semisimple Lie group has an orthogonal decomposition into finite length representations. This generalises and simplifies a number of more special spectral theorems in the literature. We apply it to…
We study the structure of the category of integrable level zero representations with finite dimensional weight spaces of affine Lie algebras. We show that this category possesses a weaker version of the finite length property, namely that…
We show that if $H \leq G$ is a closed amenable and cocompact subgroup of a unimodular locally compact group, then the reduced group C*-algebra of $G$ is not simple. Equivalently, there are unitary representations of $G$ that are weakly…
This is an expository book on unitary representations of topological groups, and of several dual spaces, which are spaces of such representations up to some equivalence. The most important notions are defined for topological groups, but a…
We study the representations of the W-algebra W(g) associated to an arbitrary finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra g via the quantized Drinfeld-Sokolov reductions. The characters of irreducible representations with non-degenerate highest…
Let G be a finite group and \rho: G--> End(E) be a group representation of G on a coherent sheaf over an integral scheme. The purpose of this paper shall give a decomposition theorem of such representations in non-splitting components and…
We classify the (semi-simple parts of the) Lie algebra of the Zariski closure of a discrete subgroup of a split simple real-algebraic Lie group, whose limit sets are minimal and such that the limit set in the space of full flags contains a…
