Let $H$ be a subgroup of $\text{Sym}_n$, the symmetric group of degree $n$. For a fixed integer $l \geq 2$, the group $G$ presented with generators $x_1, x_2, \ldots ,x_n$ and with relations $x_{i_1}x_{i_2}\cdots x_{i_l} =x_{\sigma (i_1)}…

This is the first of a series of papers devoted to certain pairs of commuting nilpotent elements in a semisimple Lie algebra that enjoy quite remarkable properties and which are expected to play a major role in Representation theory. The…

The partial group algebra of a group G over a field K, denoted by K_{par}(G), is the algebra whose representations correspond to the partial representations of G over K-vector spaces. In this paper we study the structure of the partial…

Let $K$ be a commutative ring with unit and $S$ an inverse semigroup. We show that the semigroup algebra $KS$ can be described as a convolution algebra of functions on the universal \'etale groupoid associated to $S$ by Paterson. This…

Work of Clifford, Munn and Ponizovski{\u\i} parameterized the irreducible representations of a finite semigroup in terms of the irreducible representations of its maximal subgroups. Explicit constructions of the irreducible representations…

The algebra $\mS_n$ of one-sided inverses of a polynomial algebra $P_n$ in $n$ variables is obtained from $P_n$ by adding commuting, {\em left} (but not two-sided) inverses of the canonical generators of the algebra $P_n$. The algebra…

We prove a Schoenberg-type correspondence for non-unital semigroups which generalizes an analogous result for unital semigroup proved by Michael Sch\"urmann. It characterizes the generators of semigroups of linear maps on $M_n(C)$ which are…

We show that the Eigenspace Representations for $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ semidirect with a finite pseudo-reflection group $K$, which satisfy some generic property are equivalent to the induced representations from $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ to…

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 $A$ be a finite dimensional $Q-$algebra and $\Gamma subset A$ a $Z-$order. We classify those $A$ with the property that $Z^2$ does not embed in $\mathcal{U}(\Gamma)$. We call this last property the hyperbolic property. We apply this in…

Let A be a singular matrix of M_n(K), where K is an arbitrary field. Using canonical forms, we give a new proof that the sub-semigroup of (M_n(K),x) generated by the similarity class of A is the set of matrices of M_n(K) with a rank lesser…

Let $K[HK_{\Theta}]$ denote the Hecke-Kiselman algebra of a finite oriented graph $\Theta$ over an algebraically closed field $K$. All irreducible representations, and the corresponding maximal ideals of $K[HK_{\Theta}]$, are characterized…

Using a variant of Schreier's Theorem, and the theory of Green's relations, we show how to reduce the computation of an arbitrary subsemigroup of a finite regular semigroup to that of certain associated subgroups. Examples of semigroups to…

We study finite-dimensional nonassociative algebras. We prove the implicit function theorem for such algebras. This allows us to establish a correspondence between such algebras and quasigroups, in the spirit of classical correspondence…

The main results in this thesis deal with the representation growth of certain classes of groups. In chapter $1$ we present the required preliminary theory. In chapter $2$ we introduce the Congruence Subgroup Problem for an algebraic group…

We study lowest-weight irreducible representations of rational Cherednik algebras attached to the complex reflection groups G(m,r,n) in characteristic p. Our approach is mostly from the perspective of commutative algebra. By studying the…

Since its introduction by Symons, the semigroup of maps with restricted range has been studied in the context of transformations on a set, or of linear maps on a vector space. Sets and vector spaces being particular examples of independence…

In the classification theorems of Vinberg and Yakimova for commutative nilmanifolds, the relevant nilpotent groups have a very surprising analytic property. The manifolds are of the form $G/K = N \rtimes K/K$ where, in all but three cases,…

We study the structure of nilpotent subsemigroups in the semigroup $M(n,\mathbb{F})$ of all $n\times n$ matrices over a field, $\mathbb{F}$, with respect to the operation of the usual matrix multiplication. We describe the maximal…

Let K >= 1 be a parameter. A K-approximate group is a finite set A in a (local) group which contains the identity, is symmetric, and such that A^2 is covered by K left translates of A. The main result of this paper is a qualitative…
