Let $G$ be the alternating group of degree $n$. Let $\omega(G)$ be the maximal size of a subset $S$ of $G$ such that $\langle x,y \rangle = G$ whenever $x,y \in S$ and $x \neq y$ and let $\sigma(G)$ be the minimal size of a family of proper…

Feit and Tits (1978) proved that a nontrivial projective representation of minimal dimension of a finite extension of a finite nonabelian simple group $G$ factors through a projective representation of $G$, except for some groups of Lie…

In this article we prove a conjecture of A. Lubotzky: let G = G_0(K), where K is a local field of characteristic p>5, G_0 is a simply connected, absolutely almost simple K-group of K-rank at least 2. We give the rate of growth of r_x(G)…

Let A be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field with the radical nilpotent of index 2. It is shown that A has finitely many conjugacy classes of left ideals if and only if A is of finite representation type provided…

Anosov representations give a higher-rank analogue of convex cocompactness in a rank-one Lie group which shares many of its good geometric and dynamical properties; geometric finiteness in rank one may be seen as a controlled weakening of…

We study the volume of maximal representations from a surface group into $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,3)$. We show that it is bounded from above, uniformly in the genus of the surface. We also prove that on the Gothen components, it is bounded from…

Finite group theorists have established many formulas that express interesting properties of a finite group in terms of sums of characters of the group. An obstacle to applying these formulas is lack of control over the dimensions of…

We classify globally irreducible representations of alternating groups and double covers of symmetric and alternating groups. In order to achieve this classification we also completely characterise irreducible representations of such groups…

A subgroup of a finite group G is said to be second maximal if it is maximal in every maximal subgroup of G that contains it. A question which has received considerable attention asks: can every positive integer occur as the number of the…

The first part of this paper deals with unipotent and reductive groups over finite fields with $q$ elements in which either $q$ goes to infinity or $G=GL_n(q)$ and $n$ goes to infinity. The second part of the paper deals with the symmetric…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group and $V$ a finite-dimensional $\Gamma$-graded space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to 2. In the sense of conjugation, we classify all the so-called pre-nil or nil maximal abelian…

Let G be a finite group with a generating set A. By the (symmetric) diameter of G with respect to A we mean the maximum over g in G of the length of the shortest word in (A union A inverse)A expressing g.By the (symmetric) diameter of G we…

Given a subgroup H of a finite group G, we begin a systematic study of the partial representations of G that restrict to global representations of H. After adapting several results from [DEP00] (which correspond to the case where H is…

We give very precise bounds for the congruence subgroup growth of arithmetic groups. This allows us to determine the subgroup growth of irreducible lattices of semisimple Lie groups. In the most general case our results depend on the…

We prove that if L is a finite simple group of Lie type and A a symmetric set of generators of L, then A grows i.e |AAA| > |A|^(1+epsilon) where epsilon depends only on the Lie rank of L, or AAA=L. This implies that for a family of simple…

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group. It is well known that $G$ can be generated by 3 elements, and in previous work we showed that 6 generators suffice for all maximal subgroups of $G$. In this paper we consider subgroups at the next…

Let Mod(S) denote the mapping class group of a compact, orientable surface S. We prove that finitely generated subgroups of Mod(S) which are not virtually abelian have uniform exponential growth with minimal growth rate bounded below by a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we study the structure of finite groups with a large number of $p$-regular conjugacy classes or, equivalently, a large number of irreducible $p$-modular representations. We…

For every finite quasisimple group of Lie type $G$, every irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, and every element $g$ of $G$, we give an exponential upper bound for the character ratio $|\chi(g)|/\chi(1)$ with exponent linear in $\log_{|G|}…

We prove two conjectures regarding the representation growth of groups of type $A_2$. The first, conjectured by Avni, Klopsch, Onn and Voll, regards the uniformity of representation zeta functions over local complete discrete valuation…
