Anderson and Canary have shown that if the algebraic limit of a sequence of discrete, faithful representations of a finitely generated group into PSL(2,C) does not contain parabolics, then it is also the sequence's geometric limit. We…

We consider three dimensional piecewise linear cones in $\mathbb{R}^4$ that are mass minimizing w.r.t. Lipschitz maps in the sense of \cite{almgren1976existence} as in \cite{Taylor76}. There are three that arise naturally by taking products…

We show that there exists $k \in \bbn$ and $0 < \e \in\bbr$ such that for every field $F$ of characteristic zero and for every $n \in \bbn$, there exists explicitly given linear transformations $T_1,..., T_k: F^n \to F^n$ satisfying the…

A long-standing conjecture of Podewski states that every minimal field is algebraically closed. It was proved by Wagner for fields of positive characteristic, but it remains wide open in the zero-characteristic case. We reduce Podewski's…

Finite semisimple group algebras for which all the minimal ideals are easily computable dimension (ECD) are characterized and some lower bounds for the minimum Hamming distance of group codes in these algebras are offered. Examples…

Let $G$ be the cyclic group of order $n$ and suppose ${\bf F}$ is a field containing a primitive $n^\text{th}$ root of unity. We consider the ring of invariants ${\bf F}[W]^G$ of a three dimensional representation $W$ of $G$ where $G…

We show that many $2$-dimensional Artin groups are residually finite. This includes $3$-generator Artin groups with labels $\geq 4$ except for $(2m+1, 4,4)$ for any $m\geq 2$. As a first step towards residual finiteness we show that these…

We prove that the hyperelliptic mapping class group of a nonorientable surface of genus $g\geq 4$ has a faithful linear representation of dimension $g^2-1$ over $\mathbb{R}$.

We show that for a fixed k, Gromov random groups with any positive density have no non-trivial degree-k representations over any field, a.a.s. This is especially interesting in light of the results of Agol, Ollivier and Wise that when the…

A minimal representation of a simple non-compact Lie group is obtained by ``quantizing'' the minimal nilpotent coadjoint orbit of its Lie algebra. It provides context for Roger Howe's notion of a reductive dual pair encountered recently in…

We study the complex irreducible representations of special linear, symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups over principal ideal local rings of length two. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible representations of…

We describe finite-dimensional smooth Lie groups over local fields of positive characteristic which do not admit an analytic Lie group structure compatible with the given topological group structure, and C^n-Lie groups without a compatible…

We expand on two existing characterizations of rings of Gorenstein (weak) global dimension zero and give two new characterizations of rings of finite Gorenstein (weak) global dimension. We also include the answer to a question of Y.~Xiang…

In this paper we study the minimal faithful permutation representations of $SL_n(\mathbb F_q)$ and $GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$.

For a finite group $G$, we denote by $\mu(G)$ and $c(G),$ the minimal degree of faithful permutation representation of $G$ and the minimal degree of faithful representation of $G$ by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field…

For an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero and a linear algebraic $k$-group $G$, it is well known that every affine $G$-variety admits a $G$-equivariant closed embedding into a finite-dimensional $G$-module. Such an…

We prove a new inequality for the asymptotic dimension of HNN-extensions. We deduce that the asymptotic dimension of every finitely generated one relator group is at most two, confirming a conjecture of A.Dranishnikov. As further…

In this paper we determine the irreducible projective representations of sporadic simple groups over an arbitrary algebraically closed field F, whose image contains an almost cyclic matrix of prime-power order. A matrix M is called cyclic…

In this paper, we study representations of the rational Cherednik algebra associated to the complex reflection group $G_4$. In particular, we classify the irreducible finite dimensional representations and compute their characters.

We prove a characterization of monomial projective representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We also characterize polycyclic groups whose projective representations are finite dimensional.
