Class Operators as Intertwining Maps into the Group Algebra

Abstract

With the aim of completing the previous study by A. Orłowski and the author concerning intertwining maps between induced representations and conjugation representation, termed here weighted class operators, we compute the latter explicitely for the conjugation representation arising from the regular representation in the group algebra of a compact group. To that efect a theorem of Wigner-- Eckart type for weighted class operators obtained from matrix coefficients of irreducible representations of a compact group is proved. Also the previous construction of weighted class operators is reviewed and extended to the case of locally compact groups rather then just compact ones. Submitted for: Proceedings of the II International Workshop "Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics", August 1997, Clausthal.

Reversibility and its asymptotic counting in Picard group

We investigate reversible elements in the Picard modular group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z}[i])$. We show that reversibility coincides with strong reversibility for Kleinian groups, in particular for the Picard group. We classify reversible elements in the Picard group and characterize loxodromic reversible elements up to conjugacy. We prove that each such conjugacy class contains exactly eight special representatives. We also obtain asymptotic estimates for the number of reversible conjugacy classes with bounded trace.

Conjugator length in finitely generated groups

We describe all functions $\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ that can be realized, up to the standard equivalence, as conjugator length functions of finitely generated groups. Furthermore, we show that any two increasing functions $f,g\colon \mathbb N\to \mathbb N$ can be simultaneously realized as conjugator length functions of finitely generated, commensurable (in particular, quasi-isometric) groups.

The spectrum of conjugator length functions

A recent program tries to find which functions appear as conjugator length functions. In this note, we show that any (computable) increasing function larger than $n$ appears as $\mathrm{Cl}_G$ for some finitely generated (recursively presented) group. On the other hand, we demonstrate that either $\mathrm{Cl}_G$ must be constant or $\mathrm{Cl}_G(n)\succ n$. Combining these, we obtain a complete description of which functions appear as conjugator length functions of finitely generated groups.
