We give a fully explicit description of Lie algebra derivatives (generalizing raising and lowering operators) for representations of SL(3,R) in terms of a basis of Wigner functions. This basis is natural from the point of view of principal…

We combine results about Whitehead groups of finite groups with results about genetic bases of finite $p$-groups to compute the Whitehead groups of some metacyclic $p$-groups. Let $C_{p^n}$ denote a cyclic group of order $p^n$ for $p$ an…

Let S be a surface of genus g with n points removed, G a connected Lie group, and X(G) the moduli space of representations of the fundamental group of S into G. We compute the fundamental group of X(G) when n>0 and G is a real or complex…

Let $L$ be a compact oriented $3$-manifold and $\rho\colon\pi_1(L)\to \mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C})$ a representation. Evaluating the Cheeger-Chern-Simons class $\widehat{c}_{\rho,k}\in H^{2k-1}(L;\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z})$ of $\rho$ at $\nu\in…

Let $D$ be a quaternion division algebra over a non-archimedean local field $F$ of characteristic zero. Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension and $\rm{SL}_{n}^{*}(E) = {\rm{GL}}_{n}(E) \cap \rm{SL}_{n}(D)$. We study distinguished…

Beginning with a $3$-manifold $M$ having a single torus boundary component, there are several computational techniques in the literature that use a presentation of the fundamental group of $M$ to produce infinite families of Dehn fillings…

We study a specific line arrangement obtained from a generic $2$-section of the braid arrangement, and compute the fundamental group of its complement via braid monodromy. We show that the resulting presentation of the fundamental group…

Piatetski-Shapiro the concept of CAP representations was introduced, elucidating the Saito-Kurokawa representations of $PGSp(4)$. In this paper we present a family of CAP representations for the group $Sp_{4n}(\mathbb A)$ through the…

Let $M_\phi$ be a surface bundle over a circle with monodromy $\phi:S \rightarrow S$. We study deformations of certain reducible representations of $\pi_1(M_\phi)$ into $\text{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})$, obtained by composing a reducible…

For a central division algebra $D$, we study a family of representations of $\mathrm{GL}_{k,D}$ (both locally and globally), which can be viewed as analogues of the Speh representations. Locally, we study unique models for these…

We construct explicit finite-dimensional orthogonal representations $\pi_N$ of $\operatorname{SL}_{N}(\mathbb{Z})$ for $N \in \{3,4\}$ all of whose invariant vectors are trivial, and such that $H^{N -…

The current article continues our project on representation theory, Euler elements, causal homogeneous spaces and Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT). We call a pair (h,k) of Euler elements orthogonal if $e^{\pi i \ad h} k = -k$. We show…

In the Labourie-Loftin parametrization of the Hitchin component of surface group representations into SL(3,R), we prove an asymptotic formula for holonomy along rays in terms of local invariants of the holomorphic differential defining that…

We describe an algebraic proof of the well-known topological fact that $\pi_1(SO(n)) \cong Z/2Z$. The fundamental group of $SO(n)$ appears in our approach as the center of a certain finite group defined by generators and relations. The…

We describe a connected component of the space of conjugacy classes of representations of the modular group $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ into the isometry group of the symmetric space $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SO}(3)$. This…

In this note we present the Stiefel-Whitney classes (SWCs) for orthogonal representations of several finite groups of Lie type, namely for $G=\text{SL}(2,q),$ $\text{SL}(3,q),$ $\text{Sp}(4,q)$, and $\text{Sp}(6,q)$, with $q$ odd. We also…

Let $S$ be the sphere of dimension $n-1, n\geq 4$. Let $(\pi_{\lambda})_{\lambda\in \mathbb C}$ be the scalar principle series of representations of the conformal group $SO_0(1,n)$, realized on $\mathcal C^\infty(S)$. For $\boldsymbol…

We construct the augmentation representation. It is a representation of the fundamental group of the link complement associated to an augmentation of the framed cord algebra. This construction connects representations of two link invariants…

Let $F$ be a finite field, and let $\mathbb{E}$ be either a quadratic field extension $E/F$ or the split algebra $F \oplus F$. We study distinguished representations of $\rm{SL}_{2n}(F)$ by the subgroup $H_{\flat} := \rm{SL}_{2n}(F) \cap…

We consider three families of groups: the Bianchi groups SL(2,O) where O is the ring of integers of an imaginary, quadratic field; the groups SL*(2,O) where O is a *-order of a definite, rational quaternion algebra with an orthogonal…
