For any compact orientable irreducible 3-manifold $N$ with empty or incompressible toral boundary, the twisted $L^2$-torsion is a non-negative function defined on the representation variety…

Let $E/F$ be a unramified quadratic extension of non-archimedean local fields of odd characteristic $p$, and $G$ be the unramified unitary group $U(2, 1)(E/F)$. For an irreducible smooth representation $\pi$ of $G$ over…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, $\pi:\widetilde{M}\rightarrow M$ be the universal covering and $\omega$ be a smooth $2$-form on $M$ with $\pi^*\omega$ cohomologous to zero. Suppose the fundamental group $\pi_1(M)$ satisfies…

It is proved that the orbit space of an irreducible representation of a simple connected compact Lie group of type B, C, or D can be a smooth manifold only in two cases.

Let $M$ be compact negatively curved manifold, $\Gamma =\pi_1(M)$ and $\tilde{M}$ be its universal cover. Denote by $B =\partial \tilde{M}$ the geodesic boundary of $\tilde{M}$ and by $\nu$ the Patterson-Sullivan measure on $X$. In this…

Let G be a connected reductive complex affine algebraic group, and let X denote the moduli space of G-valued representations of a rank r free group. We first characterize the singularities in X, extending a theorem of Richardson and proving…

The traceless $SU(2)$ character variety $R(S^2,\{a_i,b_i\}_{i=1}^n)$ of a $2n$-punctured 2-sphere is the symplectic reduction of a Hamiltonian $n$-torus action on the $SU(2)$ character variety of a closed surface of genus $n$. It is…

We study the finite-dimensional continuous complex representations of $\mathrm{SL}_2$ over the ring of integers of non-Archimedean local fields of even residual characteristic. We prove that for characteristic two, the abscissa of…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the moduli space of smooth complex cubic surfaces and let $\pi_1(\mathcal{C})$ be its (orbifold) fundamental group. We prove that the ``divisor subgroup'' of $\pi_1(\mathcal{C})$ is characteristic. This can be…

We find the irreducible decomposition of the Weil representation of the unitary group $\mathrm{U}_{2n}(A)$, where $A$ is a ramified quadratic extension of a finite, commutative, local, principal ideal ring $R$ and the nilpotency degree of…

We prove the following result: Let $(M,g_0)$ be a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 12$ with positive isotropic curvature. Then $M$ is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form, or the total space of an orbifiber bundle over $\mathbb{S}^1$…

In this paper, using computations done through the LiE software, we compare the tensor product of irreducible selfdual representations of the special linear group with those of classical groups to formulate some conjectures relating the…

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 -…

We study small Seifert possibly chiral cosmetic surgeries on not necessarily null-homologous knot in rational homology spheres. Using $PSL_2(\mathbb{C})$-character variety theory we give a sharp bound on the number of slopes producing the…

The paper is a survey of recent results in geometric representation theory describing group actions which induce multiplicity-free representations in the spaces of holomorphic functions. For connected compact Lie groups of automorphisms of…

We extend a duality theorem of Schneider-Stuhler about $Ext^i[\pi_1,\pi_2]$ proved there for smooth representations of a $p$-adic group $G$ with central characters to all smooth representations assuming their result for only irreducible…

For any maximal surface group representation into $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,n+1)$, we introduce a non-degenerate scalar product on the the first cohomology group of the surface with values in the associated flat bundle. In particular, it gives rise…

For distinct unitary cuspidal automorphic representations $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ for $\mathrm{GL}(2)$ over a number field $F$ and any $\alpha\in\Bbb{R}$, let $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}$ be the set of primes $v$ of $F$ for which…

Let $Z=G/H$ be the homogeneous space of a real reductive group and a unimodular real spherical subgroup, and consider the regular representation of $G$ on $L^2(Z)$. It is shown that all representations of the discrete series, that is, the…

The goal of this paper is to remove the irreducibility hypothesis in a theorem of Richard Taylor describing the image of complex conjugations by $p$-adic Galois representations associated with regular, algebraic, essentially self-dual,…
