We prove for residually finite groups the following long standing conjecture: the number of twisted conjugacy classes of an automorphism of a finitely generated group is equal (if it is finite) to the number of finite dimensional…
For a connected graph L, let G(L) be a group with generators the vertex set of L, subject only to the relations that the ends of each edge commute. Now let H(L) be the kernel of the homomorphism from G(L) to the integers that takes each…
Recently, we formulated the $q$-Garnier system and its variations as translations of an extended affine Weyl group of type $A^{(1)}_{2n+1}\times A^{(1)}_1\times A^{(1)}_1$. On the other hand, those systems admit particular solutions in…
We study a family of hereditarily just infinite profinite groups obtained by iterated wreath products introduced by J. Wilson in 2010. We find explicit generators for this family in a number of cases using combinatorial methods. We then…
In this article, we study the asymptotic behaviour of conjugacy separability for wreath products of abelian groups. We fully characterise the asymptotic class in the case of lamplighter groups and give exponential upper and lower bounds for…
Among all affine, flat, finitely presented group schemes, we focus on those that are pure, this includes all groups which are extensions of a finite locally free group by a group with connected fibres. We prove that over an arbitrary base…
We characterize the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes (or icc, i.e. \not= 1 and of which all conjugacy classes except 1 are infinite) for finite extensions of group.
This is a survey paper about affine Hecke algebras. We start from scratch and discuss some algebraic aspects of their representation theory, referring to the literature for proofs. We aim in particular at the classification of irreducible…
We give an apriori description of a set of irreducible representations of a Weyl group which parametrize the nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebra of a connected reductive group in arbitrary characteristic. We also answer a question of Serre…
We introduce a wide class of countable groups, called properly proximal, which contains all non-amenable bi-exact groups, all non-elementary convergence groups, and all lattices in non-compact semi-simple Lie groups, but excludes all inner…
Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian simple group, $C$ a non-identity conjugacy class of $G$, and $\Gamma_C$ the Cayley graph of $G$ based on $C \cup C^{-1}$. Our main result shows that in any such graph, there is an involution at bounded…
Starting from certain rational varieties blown-up from (P^1)^N, we construct a tropical, i.e., subtraction-free birational, representation of Weyl groups as a group of pseudo isomorphisms of the varieties. Furthermore, we develop an…
We prove a conjecture by Lusztig, which describes the tensor categories of perverse sheaves on affine flag manifolds, with tensor structure provided by truncated convolution, in terms of the Langlands dual group. We also give a geometric…
Several combinatorial actions of the affine Weyl group of type $\widetilde{C}_{n}$ on triangulations, trees, words and permutations are compared. Addressing a question of David Vogan, we show that, modulo a natural involution, these…
In this paper, we study extensions of graded affine Hecke algebra modules. In particular, based on an explicit projective resolution on graded affine Hecke algebra modules, we prove a duality result for Ext-groups. This duality result with…
We classify, up to conjugacy, the finite (constant) subgroups G of adjoint absolutely simple algebraic groups of type $A_1$ over an arbitrary field $k$ of characteristic not 2.
We describe the multiplicative invariant algebras of the root lattices of all irreducible root systems under the action of the Weyl group. In each case, a finite system of fundamental invariants is determined and the class group of the…
A Weyl group W is a union of strata (certain subsets which are unions of conjugacy classes) which are the nonempty fibres of a map from W to the set of irreducible representations of W. We give an explicit description of strata in terms of…
Let $W$ be a finite Coxeter group. We classify the reflection subgroups of $W$ up to conjugacy and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the map that assigns to a reflection subgroup $R$ of $W$ the conjugacy class of its Coxeter…
We characterize mutation-finite cluster algebras of rank at least 3 using positive semi-definite quadratic forms. In particular, we associate with every unpunctured bordered surface a positive semi-definite quadratic space $V$, and with…
