Schur modules give the irreducible polynomial representations of the general linear group $\mathrm{GL}_t$. Viewing the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_t$ as a subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_t$, we may restrict Schur modules to $\mathfrak{S}_t$ and…

Contrary to the expected behavior, we show the existence of non-invertible deformations of Lie algebras which can generate invariants for the coadjoint representation, as well as delete cohomology with values in the trivial or adjoint…

We use assembly maps to study $\mathbf{TC}(\mathbb{A}[G];p)$, the topological cyclic homology at a prime $p$ of the group algebra of a discrete group $G$ with coefficients in a connective ring spectrum $\mathbb{A}$. For any finite group, we…

For a prime $p$, we show that uniqueness of factorization into irreducible $\Sigma_{p^2}$-invariant representations of $\mathbb{Z}/p \wr \mathbb{Z}/p$ holds if and only if $p=2$. We also show nonuniqueness of factorization for…

We consider a finite dimensional $\kk G$-module $V$ of a $p$-group $G$ over a field $\kk$ of characteristic $p$. We describe a generating set for the corresponding Hilbert Ideal. In case $G$ is cyclic this yields that the algebra $\kk[V]_G$…

A decomposition of any symmetric power of $\Bbb C^2\otimes\Bbb C^2\otimes\Bbb C^2$ into irreducible $sl_2(\Bbb C)\oplus sl_2(\Bbb C)\oplus sl_2(\Bbb C)$-submodules are presented. Namely, the multiplicities of irreducible summands in the…

For any finite group $G$ and any prime $p$ one can ask which ordinary irreducible representations remain irreducible in characteristic $p$. We answer this question for $p=2$ when $G$ is a proper double cover of the symmetric group. Our…

We consider the symmetric group $S_n$-module of the polynomial ring with $m$ sets of $n$ commuting variables and $m'$ sets of $n$ anti-commuting variables and show that the multiplicity of an irreducible indexed by the partition $\lambda$…

In this series of papers, we propose a theory of enumerative invariants counting self-dual objects in self-dual categories. Ordinary enumerative invariants in abelian categories can be seen as invariants for the structure group $\mathrm{GL}…

The multiplicative group of a finite field is well known to be cyclic; in this note, we determine the finite fields whose multiplicative groups are direct sum indecomposable. We obtain our classification using a direct argument and also as…

We classify the three-dimensional representations of the modular group that are reducible but indecomposable, and their associated spaces of holomorphic vector-valued modular forms. We then demonstrate how such representations may be…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $R$ a $p$-torsion-free commutative $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$-algebra. We compute the periodic cyclic homology over $R$ of the universal differential graded algebra $R//p$ which is obtained from $R$ by universally…

For a given finite dimensional Hopf algebra $H$ we describe the set of all equivalence classes of cocycle deformations of $H$ as an affine variety, using methods of geometric invariant theory. We show how our results specialize to the…

We use the theory of blocks of cyclic defect to prove that under a certain condition on the principal p-block of a finite group G the normalized unit group of the integral group ring of G contains an element of order pq if and only if so…

In this paper we describe a method for producing elements in the mod p cohomology of a discrete group of finite cohomological dimension. This provides a purely algebraic formulation of the theory of special cycles.

We formulate and study the set of coupled nonlinear differential equations which define a series of shape invariant potentials which repeats after a cycle of $p$ iterations. These cyclic shape invariant potentials enlarge the limited…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $F$ a field of characteristic $p$, and $G$ a cyclic group of order $q =p^a$ for some positive integer $a$. Under these circumstances every indecomposable $F G$-module is cyclic. For indecomposable $F G$-modules…

In this paper we consider two functions related to the arithmetic and geometric means of element orders of a finite group, showing that certain lower bounds on such functions strongly affect the group structure. In particular, for every…

We study the crystalline universal deformation ring R (and its ideal of reducibility I) of a mod p Galois representation rho_0 of dimension n whose semisimplification is the direct sum of two absolutely irreducible mutually non-isomorphic…

We introduce a path-theoretic framework for understanding the representation theory of (quantum) symmetric and general linear groups and their higher level generalisations over fields of arbitrary characteristic. Our first main result is a…
