Takeshi Hirai, Etsuko Hirai (2006)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Let $G =_{\infty} (T)$ be the wreath product of a compact group T with the infinite symmetric group $_{\infty}$ . We study the characters of factor representations of finite type of G, and give a formula which expresses all the characters explicitly.

Entropy of Schur–Weyl measures

Sevak Mkrtchyan (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

Relative dimensions of isotypic components of $N$ th order tensor representations of the symmetric group on $n$ letters give a Plancherel-type measure on the space of Young diagrams with $n$ cells and at most $N$ rows. It was conjectured by G. Olshanski that dimensions of isotypic components of tensor representations of finite symmetric groups, after appropriate normalization, converge to a constant with respect to this family of Plancherel-type measures in the limit when $\frac{N}{\sqrt{n}}$ converges to a constant....

Tempered reductive homogeneous spaces

Yves Benoist, Toshiyuki Kobayashi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic Lie group and $H$ a reductive subgroup. We find geometrically the best even integer $p$ for which the representation of $G$ in $L^{2} (G / H)$ is almost $L^{p}$ . As an application, we give a criterion which detects whether this representation is tempered.

The density of representation degrees

Martin Liebeck, Dan Segal, Aner Shalev (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

For a group $G$ and a positive real number $x$ , define $d_{G} (x)$ to be the number of integers less than $x$ which are dimensions of irreducible complex representations of $G$ . We study the asymptotics of $d_{G} (x)$ for algebraic groups, arithmetic groups and finitely generated linear groups. In particular we prove an “alternative” for finitely generated linear groups $G$ in characteristic zero, showing that either there exists $α > 0$ such that $d_{G} (x) > x^{α}$ for all large $x$ , or $G$ is virtually abelian (in which case $d_{G} (x)$ is bounded). ...

Symmetric products of the Euclidean spaces and the spheres

Naotsugu Chinen (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

By $F_{n} (X)$ , $n \geq 1$ , we denote the $n$ -th symmetric product of a metric space $(X, d)$ as the space of the non-empty finite subsets of $X$ with at most $n$ elements endowed with the Hausdorff metric $d_{H}$ . In this paper we shall describe that every isometry from the $n$ -th symmetric product $F_{n} (X)$ into itself is induced by some isometry from $X$ into itself, where $X$ is either the Euclidean space or the sphere with the usual metrics. Moreover, we study the $n$ -th symmetric product of the Euclidean space up to bi-Lipschitz equivalence...

A problem of Kollár and Larsen on finite linear groups and crepant resolutions

Robert Guralnick, Pham Tiep (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The notion of age of elements of complex linear groups was introduced by M. Reid and is of importance in algebraic geometry, in particular in the study of crepant resolutions and of quotients of Calabi–Yau varieties. In this paper, we solve a problem raised by J. Kollár and M. Larsen on the structure of finite irreducible linear groups generated by elements of age $\leq 1$ . More generally, we bound the dimension of finite irreducible linear groups generated by elements of bounded deviation....

Holonomy groups of flat manifolds with the $R_{\infty}$ property

Rafał Lutowski, Andrzej Szczepański (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let M be a flat manifold. We say that M has the $R_{\infty}$ property if the Reidemeister number R(f) is infinite for every homeomorphism f: M → M. We investigate relations between the holonomy representation ρ of M and the $R_{\infty}$ property. When the holonomy group of M is solvable we show that if ρ has a unique ℝ-irreducible subrepresentation of odd degree then M has the $R_{\infty}$ property. This result is related to Conjecture 4.8 in [K. Dekimpe et al., Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 34 (2009)].

Brauer relations in finite groups

Alex Bartel, Tim Dokchitser (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

If $G$ is a non-cyclic finite group, non-isomorphic $G$ -sets $X, Y$ may give rise to isomorphic permutation representations $ℂ [X] ≅ ℂ [Y]$ . Equivalently, the map from the Burnside ring to the rational representation ring of $G$ has a kernel. Its elements are called Brauer relations, and the purpose of this paper is to classify them in all finite groups, extending the Tornehave–Bouc classification in the case of $p$ -groups.

Asymptotic values of modular multiplicities for ${GL}_{2}$

Sandra Rozensztajn (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

We study the irreducible constituents of the reduction modulo $p$ of irreducible algebraic representations $V$ of the group ${Res}_{K / ℚ_{p}} {GL}_{2}$ for $K$ a finite extension of $ℚ_{p}$ . We show that asymptotically, the multiplicity of each constituent depends only on the dimension of $V$ and the central character of its reduction modulo $p$ . As an application, we compute the asymptotic value of multiplicities that are the object of the Breuil-Mézard conjecture.

On nearly radial marginals of high-dimensional probability measures

Bo'az Klartag (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Suppose that $μ$ is an absolutely continuous probability measure on $^{R}$ n, for large $n$ . Then $μ$ has low-dimensional marginals that are approximately spherically-symmetric. More precisely, if $n \geq {(C / ε)}^{C d}$ , then there exist $d$ -dimensional marginals of $μ$ that are $ε$ -far from being sphericallysymmetric, in an appropriate sense. Here $C > 0$ is a universal constant.

Coxeter group actions on the complement of hyperplanes and special involutions

Giovanni Felder, A. Veselov (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider both standard and twisted actions of a (real) Coxeter group $G$ on the complement $ℳ_{G}$ to the complexified reflection hyperplanes by combining the reflections with complex conjugation. We introduce a natural geometric class of special involutions in $G$ and give explicit formulae which describe both actions on the total cohomology $H^{*} (ℳ_{G}, 𝒞)$ in terms of these involutions. As a corollary we prove that the corresponding twisted representation is regular only for the symmetric group $S_{n}$ , the...

Taylor towers of symmetric and exterior powers

Brenda Johnson, Randy McCarthy (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study the Taylor towers of the nth symmetric and exterior power functors, Spⁿ and Λⁿ. We obtain a description of the layers of the Taylor towers, $D_{k} S p ⁿ$ and $D_{k} Λ ⁿ$ , in terms of the first terms in the Taylor towers of $S p^{t}$ and $Λ^{t}$ for t < n. The homology of these first terms is related to the stable derived functors (in the sense of Dold and Puppe) of $S p^{t}$ and $Λ^{t}$ . We use stable derived functor calculations of Dold and Puppe to determine the lowest nontrivial homology groups for $D_{k} S p ⁿ$ and $D_{k} Λ ⁿ$ .

Quantum Singularity Theory for $A_{(r - 1)}$ and $r$ -Spin Theory

We give a review of our construction of a cohomological field theory for quasi-homogeneous singularities and the $r$ -spin theory of Jarvis-Kimura-Vaintrob. We further prove that for a singularity $W$ of type $A$ our construction of the stack of $W$ -curves is canonically isomorphic to the stack of $r$ -spin curves described by Abramovich and Jarvis. We further prove that our theory satisfies all the Jarvis-Kimura-Vaintrob axioms for an $r$ -spin virtual class. Therefore, the Faber-Shadrin-Zvonkine...

Representation growth of linear groups

Michael Larsen, Alexander Lubotzky (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $Γ$ be a group and $r_{n} (Γ)$ the number of its $n$ -dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function $𝒵_{Γ} (s) = \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} r_{n} (Γ) n^{- s}$ . When $Γ$ is an arithmetic group satisfying the congruence subgroup property then $𝒵_{Γ} (s)$ has an “Euler factorization”. The “factor at infinity” is sometimes called the “Witten zeta function” counting the rational representations of an algebraic group. For these we determine precisely the abscissa of convergence. The local factor at a finite...

Structure theory for the group algebra of the symmetric group, with applications to polynomial identities for the octonions

Murray R. Bremner, Sara Madariaga, Luiz A. Peresi (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

This is a survey paper on applications of the representation theory of the symmetric group to the theory of polynomial identities for associative and nonassociative algebras. In §1, we present a detailed review (with complete proofs) of the classical structure theory of the group algebra $𝔽 S_{n}$ of the symmetric group $S_{n}$ over a field $𝔽$ of characteristic 0 (or $p > n$ ). The goal is to obtain a constructive version of the isomorphism $ψ : ⨁_{λ} M_{d_{λ}} (𝔽) ⟶ 𝔽 S_{n}$ where $λ$ is a partition of $n$ and $d_{λ}$ counts the standard tableaux...

Product decompositions of quasirandom groups and a Jordan type theorem

Nikolay Nikolov, László Pyber (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We first note that a result of Gowers on product-free sets in groups has an unexpected consequence: If $k$ is the minimal degree of a representation of the finite group $G$ , then for every subset $B$ of $G$ with $| B | > | G | / k^{1 / 3}$ we have $B^{3} = G$ . We use this to obtain improved versions of recent deep theorems of Helfgott and of Shalev concerning product decompositions of finite simple groups, with much simpler proofs. On the other hand, we prove a version of Jordan’s theorem which implies that if $k \geq 2$ , then $G$ has a...
