Unitary Representations of Oligomorphic Groups

We obtain a complete classification of the continuous unitary representations of oligomorphic permutation groups (those include the infinite permutation group S ^??, the automorphism group of the countable dense linear order, the homeomorphism group of the Cantor space, etc.). Our main result is that all irreducible representations of such groups are obtained by induction from representations of finite quotients of open subgroups and, moreover, every representation is a sum of irreducibles. As an application, we prove that many oligomorphic groups have property (T). We also show that the Gelfand?CRaikov theorem holds for topological subgroups of S ^??: for all such groups, continuous irreducible representations separate points in the group.

Homogeneous Deformations of Discrete Groups

A linear deformation of a discrete group G is a special deformation of the group algebra of G resulting in the group algebra of a multivalued group. Basic results on linear deformations are presented. Bibliography: 5 titles.     

Irreducible Restrictions of Representations of the Symmetric Groups

A proof is given of a recent conjecture of Jantzen and Seitzgiving a necessary and sufficient condition for a representationof the symmetric group on n objects (over an algebraically closedfield of prime characteristic p < n) to remain irreducibleupon restriction to the symmetric group on n–1 objects.     

Irreducible Quasi-Finite Representations of a Block Type Lie Algebra

Let B be the Block type Lie algebra over ? with basis {L _{α, i} , C ₁, C ₂ | (α, i) ∈ ? × ? \ {(0, ? 2)}} and Lie bracket [L _{α, i} , L _{β, j} ] = (β(i + 1) ? α(j + 1))L _{α+β, i+j}  + αδ_{α+β, 0}δ _{i+j, ?2} C ₁ + (i + 1)δ_{α+β, 0}δ _{i+j, ?2} C ₂, where C ₁, C ₂ are central elements. In this paper, it is proved that a quasi-finite irreducible B-module is either a highest or a lowest weight module. We also give a classification of all highest/lowest weight B-modules.     

Globally Irreducible Representations of Finite Groups and Integral Lattices

The notion of globally irreducible representations of finite groups has been introduced by B. H. Gross, in order to explain new series of Euclidean lattices discovered recently by N. Elkies and T. Shioda using Mordell--Weil lattices of elliptic curves. In this paper we first give a necessary condition for global irreducibility. Then we classify all globally irreducible representations of L ₂(q) and ²B₂(q), and of the majority of the 26 sporadic finite simple groups. We also exhibit one more globally irreducible representation, which is related to the Weil representation of degree (pⁿ-1)/2 of the symplectic group Sp_2n(p) (p 1 (mod 4) is a prime). As a consequence, we get a new series of even unimodular lattices of rank 2(pⁿ–1). A summary of currently known globally irreducible representations is given.     

Modular Irreducible Representations of Weyl Groups of Type B n

In this article, we build all the irreducible representations of a Weyl group of type B _n over a field of characteristic p > 2. This construction is based on [2 Aguado , J. , Araujo , J. ( 1998 ). Representations of the symmetric group 𝔖 _n on K[x ₁,…, x _n ] . Revista de la Unión Matemática Argentina 41 . [Google Scholar]], and in fact it extends the results of that article for the modular irreducible representations of the symmetric group.     

Prym Representations of Mapping Class Groups

Let S be a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2 and let to S be a connected finite abelian covering with covering group $G$. The lifts of liftable mapping classes of S determine a central extension (by G) of a subgroup of finite index of the mapping class group of S. This extension acts on H₁( ). With a few exceptions for genus 2, we determine the Zariski closure of the image of this representation, and prove that the image is an arithmetic group.     

Degree Graphs of Simple Linear and Unitary Groups

Let G be a finite group and let cd (G) be the set of irreducible character degrees of G. The degree graph Δ(G) is the graph whose set of vertices is the set of primes that divide degrees in cd (G), with an edge between p and q if pq divides a for some degree a ? cd (G). We determine the graph Δ(G) for the finite simple groups of types A _?(q) and ² A _? (q ²), that is, for the simple linear and unitary groups.

A Family of Irreducible Representations of the Witt Lie Algebra with Infinite-Dimensional Weight Spaces

We define a 4-parameter family of generically irreducible and inequivalent representations of the Witt Lie algebra on which the infinitesimal rotation operator acts semisimply with infinite-dimensional eigenspaces. They are deformations of the (generically indecomposable) representations on spaces of polynomial differential operators between two spaces of tensor densities on S ¹, which are constructed by composing each such differential operator with the action of a rotation by a fixed angle.     

A Family of Complex Irreducible Characters Possessed by Unitary and Special Unitary Groups Defined over Local Rings

Abstract

Let 𝒪 be a discrete valuation ring whose residue field 𝒪/𝔭 is finite and has odd characteristic. Let l be a positive integer. Set R = 𝒪/𝔭 ^l and let R = R[θ] be the ring obtained by adjoining to R a square root of a non-square unit. Consider the involution σ of R that fixes R elementwise and sends θ to ? θ. Let V be a free R-module of rank n > 0 endowed with a non-degenerate hermitian form ( , ) relative to σ. Let U _n (R) be the subgroup of GL(V) that preserves ( , ). Let SU _n (R) be the subgroup of all g ∈ U _n (R) whose determinant is equal to one. Let Ψ be the Weil character of U _n (R).

All irreducible constituents of Ψ are determined. An explicit character formula is given for each of them. In particular, all character degrees are computed. For n > 2 the corresponding results are also obtained for the restriction of Ψ to SU _n (R).     

On Generators and Representations of the Sporadic Simple Groups

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 if its characteristic and minimum polynomials coincide, and we call M almost cyclic if, for a suitable α ∈F, M is similar to diag(α·Id _h , M ₁), where M ₁ is cyclic and 0 ≤ h ≤ n. The paper also contains results on the generation of sporadic simple groups by minimal sets of conjugate elements.     

Quasi-Invariant Measures and Irreducible Representations of the Inductive Limit of Special Linear Groups

Unitary representations of the group are constructed. The construction uses G-quasi-invariant measures on some G-spaces that are subspaces of the space of two-way infinite real matrices. We give a criterion for the irreducibility of these representations.     

Weil Representations and Some Nonreductive Dual Pairs in Symplectic and Unitary Groups

We study the restriction of the Weil representations of symplectic and unitary groups to subgroups that are the centralizers of certain elements, and show that these are multiplicity free. This work is along the line of the Howe philosophy for so-called dual pairs in the symplectic and unitary groups, but our dual pairs are not reductive. We also obtain an explicit formula for the character of the restriction to the centralizer of a regular unipotent element.     

Extremal Bases for the Adjoint Representations of the Simple Lie Algebras

We construct n distinct weight bases, which we call extremal bases, for the adjoint representation of each simple Lie algebra 𝔤 of rank n: One construction for each simple root. We explicitly describe actions of the Chevalley generators on the basis elements. We show that these extremal bases are distinguished by their “supporting graphs” in three ways. (In general, the supporting graph of a weight basis for a representation of a semisimple Lie algebra is a directed graph with colored edges that describe the supports of the actions of the Chevalley generators on the elements of the basis.) We show that each extremal basis constructed is essentially the only basis with its supporting graph (i.e., each extremal basis is solitary), and that each supporting graph is a modular lattice. Each extremal basis is shown to be edge-minimizing: Its supporting graph has the minimum number of edges. The extremal bases are shown to be the only edge-minimizing as well as the only modular lattice weight bases (up to scalar multiples) for the adjoint representation of 𝔤. The supporting graph for an extremal basis is shown to be a distributive lattice if and only if the associated simple root corresponds to an end node for a “branchless” simple Lie algebra, i.e., type A, B, C, F, or G. For each extremal basis, basis elements for the Cartan subalgebra are explicitly expressed in terms of the h _i Chevalley generators.     

On Minimal Permutation Representations of Classical Simple Groups

We describe minimal permutation representations, i.e., faithful permutation representations of least degree, of classical finite simple groups as groups of automorphisms of simple Lie algebras.
