This chapter continues the development of group theory begun in Chapter IV, the main topics being the use of generators and relations, representation theory for finite groups, and group extensions. Representation theory uses linear algebra and inner-product spaces in an essential way, and a structure-theory theorem for finite groups is obtained as a consequence. Group extensions introduce the subject of cohomology of groups.Sections 1–3 concern generators and relations. The context for generators and relations is that of a free group on the set of generators, and the relations indicate passage to a quotient of this free group by a normal subgroup. Section 1 constructs free groups in terms of words built from an alphabet and shows that free groups are characterized by a certain universal mapping property. This universal mapping property implies that any group may be defined by generators and relations. Computations with free groups are aided by the fact that two reduced words yield the same element of a free group if and only if the reduced words are identical. Section 2 obtains the Nielsen-Schreier Theorem that subgroups of free groups are free. Section 3 enlarges the construction of free groups to the notion of the free product of an arbitrary set of groups. Free product is what coproduct is for the category of groups; free groups themselves may be regarded as free products of copies of the integers.Sections 4–5 introduce representation theory for finite groups and give an example of an important application whose statement lies outside representation theory. Section 4 contains various results giving an analysis of the space C(G, ?) of all complex-valued functions on a finite group G. In this analysis those functions that are constant on conjugacy classes are shown to be linear combinations of the characters of the irreducible representations. Section 5 proves Burnside’s Theorem as an application of this theory—that any finite group of order paqb with p and q prime and with a+b > 1 has a nontrivial normal subgroup.Section 6 introduces cohomology of groups in connection with group extensions. If N is to be a normal subgroup of G and Q is to be isomorphic to G/N, the first question is to parametrize the possibilities for G up to isomorphism. A second question is to parametrize the possibilities for G if G is to be a semidirect product of N and Q.

The representation theory of finite groups began with the pioneering research of Frobenius, Burnside, and Schur at the turn of the century. Their work was inspired in part by two largely unrelated developments which occurred earlier in the nineteenth century. The first was the awareness of characters of finite abelian groups and their application by some of the great nineteenth-century number theorists. The second was the emergence of the structure theory of finite groups, beginning with Galois’ brief outline of the main ideas in the famous letter written on the eve of his death and continuing with the work of Sylow and others, including Frobenius himself.

The important classical Ampere’s and Lorentz laws derivations are revisited and their relationships with the modern vacuum field theory approach to modern relativistic electrodynamics are demonstrated. The relativistic models of the vacuum field medium and charged point particle dynamics as well as related classical electrodynamics problems jointly with the fundamental principles, characterizing the electrodynamical vacuum-field structure, based on the developed field theory concepts are reviewed and analyzed detail. There is also described a new approach to the classical Maxwell theory based on the derived and newly interpreted basic equations making use of the vacuum field theory approach. There are obtained the main classical special relativity theory relationships and their new explanations. The well known Feynman approach to Maxwell electromagnetic equations and the Lorentz type force derivation is also. A related charged point particle dynamics and a hadronic string model analysis is also presented. We also revisited and reanalyzed the classical Lorentz force expression in arbitrary non-inertial reference frames and present some new interpretations of the relations between special relativity theory and its quantum mechanical aspects. Some results related with the charge particle radiation problem and the magnetic potential topological aspects are discussed. The electromagnetic Dirac-Fock-Podolsky problem of the Maxwell and Yang-Mills type dynamical systems is analyzed within the classical Dirac-Marsden-Weinstein symplectic reduction theory. Based on the Gelfand-Vilenkin representation theory of infinite dimensional groups and the Goldin-Menikoff-Sharp theory of generating Bogolubov type functionals the problem of constructing Fock type representations and retrieving their creation-annihilation operator structure is analyzed. An application of the suitable current algebra representation to describing the non-relativistic Aharonov-Bohm paradox is demonstrated. The current algebra coherent functional representations are constructed and their importance subject to the linearization problem of nonlinear dynamical systems in Hilbert spaces is also presented.

Elliptic operators arise naturally in several different mathematical settings, notably in the representation theory of Lie groups, the study of evolution equations, and the examination of Riemannian manifolds. This book develops the basic theory of elliptic operators on Lie groups and thereby extends the conventional theory of parabolic evolution equations to a natural non-commutative context. In order to achieve this goal, the author presents a synthesis of ideas from partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, functional analysis, and the theory of Lie groups. He begins by discussing the abstract theory of general operators with complex coefficients before concentrating on the central case of second-order operators with real coefficients. A full discussion of second-order subellilptic operators is also given. Prerequisites are a familiarity with basic semigroup theory, the elementary theory of Lie groups, and a firm grounding in functional analysis as might be gained from the first year of a graduate course.

As earlier conjectured by several authors and much later established by Solèr, from the lattice-theory point of view, Quantum Mechanics may be formulated in real, complex or quaternionic Hilbert spaces only. On the other hand, no quantum systems seem to exist that are naturally described in a real or quaternionic Hilbert space. In a previous paper [23], we showed that any quantum system which is elementary from the viewpoint of the Poincaré symmetry group and it is initially described in a real Hilbert space, it can also be described within the standard complex Hilbert space framework. This complex description is unique and more precise than the real one as, for instance, in the complex description, all self-adjoint operators represent observables defined by the symmetry group. The complex picture fulfils the thesis of Solér’s theorem and permits the standard formulation of the quantum Noether’s theorem. The present work is devoted to investigate the remaining case, namely, the possibility of a description of a relativistic elementary quantum system in a quaternionic Hilbert space. Everything is done exploiting recent results of the quaternionic spectral theory that were independently developed. In the initial part of this work, we extend some results of group representation theory and von Neumann algebra theory from the real and complex cases to the quaternionic Hilbert space case. We prove the double commutant theorem also for quaternionic von Neumann algebras (whose proof requires a different procedure with respect to the real and complex cases) and we extend to the quaternionic case a result established in the previous paper concerning the classification of irreducible von Neumann algebras into three categories. In the second part of the paper, we consider an elementary relativistic system within Wigner’s approach defined as a locally-faithful irreducible strongly-continuous unitary representation of the Poincaré group in a quaternionic Hilbert space. We prove that, if the squared-mass operator is non-negative, the system admits a natural, Poincaré invariant and unique up to sign, complex structure which commutes with the whole algebra of observables generated by the representation itself. This complex structure leads to a physically equivalent reformulation of the theory in a complex Hilbert space. Within this complex formulation, differently from what happens in the quaternionic one, all self-adjoint operators represent observables in agreement with Solèr’s thesis, the standard quantum version of Noether theorem may be formulated and the notion of composite system may be given in terms of tensor product of elementary systems. In the third part of the paper, we focus on the physical hypotheses adopted to define a quantum elementary relativistic system relaxing them on the one hand, and making our model physically more general on the other hand. We use a physically more accurate notion of irreducibility regarding the algebra of observables only, we describe the symmetries in terms of automorphisms of the restricted lattice of elementary propositions of the quantum system and we adopt a notion of continuity referred to the states viewed as probability measures on the elementary propositions. Also in this case, the final result proves that there exists a unique (up to sign) Poincaré invariant complex structure making the theory complex and completely fitting into Solèr’s picture. The overall conclusion is that relativistic elementary systems are naturally and better described in complex Hilbert spaces even if starting from a real or quaternionic Hilbert space formulation and this complex description is uniquely fixed by physics.

As it was recognized twenty five years ago by A. A. Kirillov, in the unitary representation theory of nilpotent Lie groups a crucial role is played by orbits of the coadjoint representation. B. Kostant noted that, for any connected Lie group, these orbits admit a symplectic structure and lend themselves to an intrinsic characterization. The present author later observed, that already for the purposes of unitary representation theory of solvable Lie groups, this concept has to be enlarged and replaced by that of a generalized orbit. One objective of this paper is their intrinsic characterization. Other results prepare the way for the geometric construction of the corresponding unitary representations, to be developed later.

This paper is a survey of some of the ways in which the representation theory of the symmetric group has been used in voting theory and game theory. In particular, we use permutation representations that arise from the action of the symmetric group on tabloids to describe, for example, a surprising relationship between the Borda count and Kemeny rule in voting. We also explain a powerful representation-theoretic approach to working with linear symmetric solution concepts in cooperative game theory. Along the way, we discuss new research questions that arise within and because of the representation-theoretic framework we are using.

The representation theory of p-adic groups has played an important role in the Langlands program. It has seen significant progress in the past two decades, including various instances of the local Langlands correspondences, construction of supercuspidal representations and questions on periods and distinction. This workshop explored new ideas and further developments in this subject.

This survey provides an overview of numerous results on p-permutation modules and the closely related classes of endo-trivial, endo-permutation and endo-p-permutation modules. These classes of modules play an important role in the representation theory of finite groups. For example, they are important building blocks used to understand and parametrise several kinds of categorical equivalences between blocks of finite group algebras. For this reason, there has been, since the late 1990’s, much interest in classifying such modules. The aim of this manuscript is to review classical results as well as all the major recent advances in the area. The first part of this survey serves as an introduction to the topic for non-experts in modular representation theory of finite groups, outlining proof ideas of the most important results at the foundations of the theory. Simultaneously, the connections between the aforementioned classes of modules are emphasised. In this respect, results, which are dispersed in the literature, are brought together, and emphasis is put on common properties and the role played by the p-permutation modules throughout the theory. Finally, in the last part of the manuscript, lifting results from positive characteristic to characteristic zero are collected and their proofs sketched.

The Gini index is a function that attempts to measure the amount of inequality in the distribution of a finite resource throughout a population.It is commonly used in economics as a measure of inequality of income or wealth.We define a discrete Gini index on the set of integer partitions with at most n parts and show how this function emerges in the representation theory of the complex general linear group.

The following remarks appear in the introduction to the first edition of Burnside's group theory book (1897).

Applying the symmetry groups to study the n body problem

Methods and results from the representation theory of finite di- mensional algebras have led to many interactions with other areas of mathe- matics. Such areas include the theory of Lie algebras and quantum groups, commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and topology, and in particular the new theory of cluster algebras. The aim of this workshop was to further de- velop such interactions and to stimulate progress in the representation theory of algebras.
