The representation ring of an affine algebraic group scheme can be endowed with the structure of a (special) $\lambda$-ring. We show that the same is true for the ring of symmetric representations, i.e. for the Grothendieck-Witt ring of the…

We prove that the representation ring of the symmetric group on $n$ letters is generated by the exterior powers of its natural $(n-1)$-dimensional representation. The proof we give illustrates a strikingly simple formula due to Y. Dvir. We…

Given a representation V of a group G, there are two natural ways of defining a representation of the group algebra k[G] in the external power V^{\wedge m}. The set L(V) of elements of k[G] for which these two ways give the same result is a…

A Lie group is a group that is also a differentiable manifold, such that the group operation is continuous respect to the topological structure. To every Lie group we can associate its tangent space in the identity point as a vector space,…

Let G be a finite group and let S be a G-set. The Burnside ring of G has a natural structure of a lambda-ring. However, a priori the images of S under the lambda-operations can only be computed implicitly. In this paper we establish an…

Let $G$ be a compact, connected, and simply-connected Lie group, equipped with a Lie group involution $\sigma_G$ and viewed as a $G$-space with the conjugation action. In this paper, we present a description of the ring structure of the…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple Lie group with its maximal compact subgroup $K$ being simply-connected. We show that the twisted equivariant $KK$-theory $KK^{\bullet}_{G}(G/K, \tau_G^G)$ of $G$ has a ring structure induced from the…

For a simply laced and hyperbolic Kac--Moody group $G=G(R)$ over a commutative ring $R$ with 1, we consider a map from a finite presentation of $G(R)$ obtained by Allcock and Carbone to a representation--theoretic construction…

An isomorphism between the group ring of a finite group and a ring of certain block diagonal matrices is established. The group ring $RG$ of a finite group $G$ is isomorphic to the set of {\em group ring matrices} over $R$. It is shown that…

The theory of Lambda-rings, in the sense of Grothendieck's Riemann-Roch theory, is an enrichment of the theory of commutative rings. In the same way, we can enrich usual algebraic geometry over the ring Z of integers to produce…

The semidirect product $\mathbb{G}=\mathbb{L}\rtimes \mathbb{K}$ attached to a compact-group action on a connected, simply-connected solvable Lie group has a dense set of compact elements precisely when the $s\in \mathbb{K}$ operating on…

Consider the quotient $G/B$ of a simple matrix Lie group $G$ by a subgroup $B$ isomorphic to a direct product of some of $S^1$s and $S^3$s such that its adjoint representation can be extended over $G$. Then it naturally inherits a stable…

We find an explicit presentation of relative linear Steinberg groups $\mathrm{St}(n, R, I)$ for any ring $R$ and $n \geq 4$ by generators and relations as abstract groups. We also prove a similar result for relative simply laced Steinberg…

We study the derived tensor product of the representation rings of subgroups of a given compact Lie group G. That is, given two such subgroups H_1 and H_2, we study the tensor product of the associated representation rings R(H_1) and R(H_2)…

Let $G$ be a compact, connected, and simply-connected Lie group, equipped with an anti-involution $a_G$ which is the composition of a Lie group involutive automorphism $\sigma_G$ and the group inversion. We view $(G, a_G)$ as a Real $(G,…

Let $C$ denote a closed convex cone $C$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with apex at 0. We denote by $\mathcal{E}'(C)$ the set of distributions having compact support which is contained in $C$. Then $\mathcal{E}'(C)$ is a ring with the usual addition and…

Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…

We study the asymptotics of representations of a fixed compact Lie group. We prove that the limit behavior of a sequence of such representations can be described in terms of certain random matrices; in particular operations on…

Motivated by the Langlands program in representation theory, number theory and geometry, the theory of representations of a reductive $p$-adic group over a coefficient ring different from the field of complex numbers has been widely…

Let $G$ be a reductive complex Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and suppose that $V$ is a polar $G$-representation. We prove the existence of a radial parts map $\mathrm{rad}: \mathcal{D}(V)^G\to A_{\kappa}$ from the $G$-invariant…
