Unitary representations of the braid group and corresponding link polynomials are constructed corresponding to each irreducible representation of a quantum double finite group algebra. Moreover the diagonal form of the braid generator is derived from which a general closed formula is obtained for link polynomials. As an example, link polynomials corresponding to certain induced representations of the symmetric group and its subgroups are determined explicitly.

The quantum double construction is applied to the group algebra of a finite group. Such algebras are shown to be semi-simple and a complete theory of characters is developed. The irreducible matrix representations are classified and applied to the explicit construction of R-matrices: this affords solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation associated with certain induced representations of a finite group. These results are applied in the second paper of the series to construct unitary representations of the Braid group and corresponding link polynomials.

A general method for constructing invariants for quantum supergroups is applied to obtain a closed formula for link polynomials. For type I quantum supergroups, a realization of the braid group and corresponding link polynomial is determined, for each irreducible representation of the quantum supergroup in a certain class. Although these realizations are not matrix representations in the usual sense, nevertheless link polynomials are defined which are generalizations of those previously obtained from quantum groups. To illustrate the theory, link polynomials corresponding to the defining representations of the quantum supergroups Uq [gl(m|n)], Uq [C (m + 1)] are determined explicitly.

AbstractWe provide an isomorphism between the Grothendieck ring of modules of the twisted quantum double of a finite group, and a product of centres of twisted group algebras of centralizer subgroups. It follows that this Grothendieck ring is semisimple. Another consequence is a formula for the characters of this ring in terms of representations of twisted group algebras of centralizer subgroups.

In this paper we consider representations of groups over the field of the complex numbers.The nth-Kronecker power σ⊗n of an irreducible representation σ of a group can be decomposed into the constituents of definite symmetry with respect to the symmetric group Sn. In the special case of the general linear group GL(N) in N dimensions the decomposition of the defining representation at once provides irreducible representations of GL(N) [9; 10; 11].

In an earlier paper (5) we showed that a finitely generated nilpotent group which is not abelian-by-finite has a primitive irreducible representation of infinite dimension over any non-absolute field. Here we are concerned primarily with the converse question: Suppose that G is a polycyclic-by-finite group with such a representation, then what can be said about G?

We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a p p -adic field ( p ≠ 2 p\ne 2 ) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group G L GL of infinite matrices over a residue ring modulo p k p^k . Irreducible representations of the latter group are induced from finite-dimensional representations of certain open subgroups.

1. Introduction. The problem of the expression of an invariant matrix of an invariant matrix as a direct sum of invariant matrices is intimately associated with the representation theory of the full linear group on the one hand and with the representation theory of the symmetric group on the other. In a previous paper the author gave an explicit formula for this reduction in terms of characters of the symmetric group. Later J. A. Todd derived the same formula using Schur functions, i.e. characters of representations of the full linear group.

Let G be a finite group of order g, andbe an absolutely irreducible representation of degree fμ over a field of characteristic zero. As is well known, by using Schur's lemma (1), we can prove the following orthogonality relations for the coefficients :1It is easy to conclude from (1) the following orthogonality relations for characters:whereand is 1 or 0 according as t and s are conjugate in G or not, and n(t) is the order of the normalize of t.

AbstractThe symmetric group 𝓢n acts on the power set 𝓟(n) and also on the set of square free polynomials in n variables. These two related representations are analyzed from the stability point of view. An application is given for the action of the symmetric group on the cohomology of the pure braid group.
