Suppose $G$ is a real reductive group. The determination of the irreducible unitary representations of $G$ is one of the major unsolved problem in representation theory. There is evidence to suggest that every irreducible unitary…

We prove the rigidity of Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ and $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ quantum representations of mapping class groups at all prime levels for closed surfaces of genus at least $7$. The proof relies on Ocneanu rigidity of…

We investigate the rigidity and asymptotic properties of quantum SU(2) representations of mapping class groups. In the spherical braid group case the trivial representation is not isolated in the family of quantum SU(2) representations. In…

We prove a criterion for the irreducibility of an integral group representation \rho over the fraction field of a noetherian domain R in terms of suitably defined reductions of \rho at prime ideals of R. As applications, we give…

We study finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface S. In particular, we construct invariants of such irreducible representations when the underlying parameter q is a root of unity. The main one of these…

Using Calegari's result on the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture, we study the irreducibility of pure, regular, rank 3 weakly compatible systems of self-dual l-adic representations. As a consequence, we prove that the Tate conjecture holds for a…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $H$ be a normal subgroup of prime index $p$. Let $F$ be a field of either characteristic $0$ or prime to $|G|$. Let $\eta$ be an irreducible $F$-representation of $H$. If $F$ is an algebraically closed field of…

We study the irreducible representations of quantum solvable algebras at roots of 1 which lie over a point of the variety of center. We characterize the quiver of fiber algebra and present the formulas on the dimension and the number of…

Let $\F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field, $q$ be the cardinality of its residue field, and $\R$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $\ell$ not dividing $q$.We classify all irredu\-cible smooth $\R$-representations…

We generalize a result of Araki (1985) on indecomposable group representations with invariant (necessarily indefinite) inner product and irreducible subrepresentation to Hopf $*$-algebras. Moreover, we characterize invariant inner products…

A modular fusion category C allows one to define projective representations of the mapping class groups of closed surfaces of any genus. We show that if all these representations are irreducible, then C has a unique Morita-class of simple…

A realization of a deformed Lorentz algebra is considered and its irreducible representations are found; in the limit $q\to 1$, these are precisely the irreducible representations of the classical Lorentz group.

We classify the finite-dimensional irreducible linear representations of the Baumslag-Solitar groups BS(p,q) = < a, b | a b^p = b^q a > for relatively prime p and q. The general strategy of the argument is to consider the matrix group given…

We study irreducible unitary \reps of $U_q(SO(2,1))$ and $U_q(SO(2,3))$ for $q$ a root of unity, which are finite dimensional. Among others, unitary \reps corresponding to all classical one-particle representations with integral weights are…

The set of linear, differential operators preserving the vector space of couples of polynomials of degrees n and n-2 in one real variable leads to an abstract associative graded algebra A(2). The irreducible, finite dimensional…

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type and $\ell$ be a prime which is not equal to the defining characteristic of $G$. In this note we discuss some open problems concerning the $\ell$-modular irreducible representations of $G$. We also…

Let $S = S_g$ be a closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$ and $Mod(S)$ be the mapping class group of $S$. In this paper, we show that the boundary representation of $Mod(S)$ is ergodic using statistical hyperbolicity, which…

Let G be a group SO(2n+1) defined over a p-adic field. We compute the wave front set of the anti-tempered irreducible representations of G(F) which are of unipotent reduction. It is the orthogonal orbit dual to the symplectic orbit…
