For a {\em simple Euclidean Jordan algebra}, let $\mathfrak{co}$ be its conformal algebra, $\mathscr P$ be the manifold consisting of its semi-positive rank-one elements, $C^\infty(\mathscr P)$ be the space of complex-valued smooth…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple simply connected algebraic group. Given two irreducible representations $V_1$ and $V_2$ of $G$, we are interested in some components of $V_1\otimes V_2$. Consider two geometric realizations of $V_1$ and $V_2$…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup. Starting from $G$-spin models, in which a non-Abelian field ${\mathcal{F}}_H$ w.r.t. $H$ carries an action of the Hopf $C^*$-algebra $D(H;G)$, a subalgebra of the quantum double $D(G)$,…

Motivated by relating the representation theory of the split real and $p$-adic forms of a connected reductive algebraic group $G$, we describe a subset of $2^r$ orbits on the complex flag variety for a certain symmetric subgroup. (Here $r$…

Representation theory for the Jordanian quantum algebra $U=U_h(sl(2))$ is developed. Closed form expressions are given for the action of the generators of U on the basis vectors of finite dimensional irreducible representations. It is shown…

Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field with odd residual characteristic and let $G$ be the $F$-points of a connected reductive group defined over $F$. Let $\theta$ be an $F$-involution of $G$. Let $H$ be the subgroup of $\theta$-fixed…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial finite subgroup of $\SL_n(\C)$. Suppose that the quotient singularity $\C^n/G$ has a crepant resolution $\pi\colon X\to \C^n/G$ (i.e. $K_X = \shfO_X$). There is a slightly imprecise conjecture, called the McKay…

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…

We present a finite algorithm for computing the set of irreducible unitary representations of a real reductive group G. The Langlands classification, as formulated by Knapp and Zuckerman, exhibits any representation with an invariant…

We first establish several general properties of modality of algebraic group actions. In particular, we introduce the notion of a modality-regular action and prove that every visible action is modality-regular. Then, using these results, we…

In this semi-expository article, we investigate the relationship between the imprimitivity introduced by Mackey several decades ago and commuting $d$- tuples of homogeneous normal operators. The Hahn-Hellinger theorem gives a canonical…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $P$ a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$. We obtain both asymptotic and explicit bounds for the number of odd-degree irreducible complex representations of $G$ in terms of the size of the abelianization of $P$. To do…

We begin a study of the representation theory of quantum continuous $\mathfrak{gl}_\infty$, which we denote by $\mathcal E$. This algebra depends on two parameters and is a deformed version of the enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of…

Let $G_{n}=\operatorname{GL}_{n}(F)$, where $F$ is a non-archimedean local field with residue characteristic $p$ and where $n=2k$ is even. In this article, we investigate a question occurring in the decomposition of the category of…

George Mackey suggested in 1975 that there should be analogies between the irreducible unitary representations of a noncompact reductive Lie group $G$ and those of its Cartan motion group $G_0$ $-$ the semidirect product of a maximal…

For certain nilpotent real Lie groups constructed as semidirect products, algebras of invariant differential operators on some coadjoint orbits are used in the study of boundedness properties of the Weyl-Pedersen calculus of their…

All indecomposable finite-dimensional representations of the homogeneous Galilei group which when restricted to the rotation subgroup are decomposed to spin 0, 1/2 and 1 representations are constructed and classified. These representations…

Given a group G, we construct, in a canonical way, an inverse semigroup S(G) associated to G. The actions of S(G) are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the partial actions of G, both in the case of actions on a set, and that of…

Half-integral weight modular forms are naturally viewed as automorphic forms on the so-called metaplectic covering of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{Q}})$ -- a central extension by the roots of unity $\mu_2$ in $\mathbf{Q}$. For…

We study a family of complex representations of the group GL(n,O), where O is the ring of integers of a non-archimedean local field F. These representations occur in the restriction of the Grassmann representation of GL(n,F) to its maximal…
