Coclass theory has been a highly successful approach towards the investigation and classification of finite nilpotent groups. Here we suggest a similar approach for finite nilpotent semigroups. This differs from the group theory setting in…

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 develop a semigroup approach to representation theory for pro-Lie groups satisfying suitable amenability conditions. As an application of our approach, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of unitary…

We characterize finite-dimensional thick representations over ${\Bbb C}$ of connected complex semi-simple Lie groups by irreducible representations which are weight multiplicity-free and whose weight posets are totally ordered sets.…

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 the algebraic properties of the series $\mathrm{K}_n$ of semigroups, which is inspired by \cite{Ki} and has origins in convexity theory. In particular, we describe Green's relations on $\mathrm{K}_n$, prove that there exists a…

Generators and relations are given for the subalgebra of cocommutative elements in the quantized coordinate rings of the classical groups, where the deformation parameter q is transcendental. This is a ring theoretic formulation of the well…

In the paper we study irreducible representations of some nilpotent groups of finite abelian total rank. The main result of the paper states that if a torsion-free minimax group $G$ of nilpotency class 2 admits a faithful irreducible…

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…

One of the most beautiful results in the integral representation theory of finite groups is a theorem of A. Weiss that detects a permutation $R$-lattice for the finite $p$-group $G$ in terms of the restriction to a normal subgroup $N$ and…

We classify finite primitive permutation groups having a suborbit of length 5. As a corollary, we obtain a classification of finite vertex-primitive graphs of valency 5. In the process, we also classify finite almost simple groups that have…

In this paper we study the possibility to define irreducible representations of the symmetric groups with the help of finitely many relations. The existence of finite bases is established for the classes of representations corresponding to…

We begin by considering faithful matrix representations of elementary abelian groups in prime characteristic. The representations considered are seen to be determined up to change of bases by a single number. Studying this number leads to a…

We provide an explicit construction for a complete set of orthogonal primitive idempotents of finite group algebras over nilpotent groups. Furthermore, we give a complete set of matrix units in each simple epimorphic image of a finite group…

Semigroup theory is a branch of abstract algebra, and it provides mathematical tools for the theory of computation. Finite semigroups can describe state transition systems and thus they model physically realizable computers. Engineering…

Arithmetic groups are groups of matrices with integral entries. We shall first discuss their origin in number theory (Gauss, Minkowski) and their role in the "reduction theory of quadratic forms". Then we shall describe these groups by…

We give a review of one of the lines in development of the theory of groups of finite Morley rank. These groups naturally appear in model theory as model-theoretic analogues of Galois groups, therefore their actions and their role as…

This expository article revolves around the question to find short presentations of finite simple groups. This subject is one of the most active research areas of group theory in recent times. We bring together several known results on…

These notes give a short introduction to finite Coxeter groups, their classification, and some parts of their representation theory, with a focus on the infinite families. They are based on lectures delivered by the author at the…

Let S be a semigroup and let T be a subsemigroup of S. Then T acts on S by left- and by right multiplication. This gives rise to a partition of the complement of T in S, and to each equivalence class of this partition we naturally associate…
