Is there an analogue of spin/oscillator representation for the general linear Lie algebra?
(Work over complex numbers)
Let $V$ be an orthogonal space. Let $Pin(V)$ be the double cover of the orthogonal group $O(V)$. Then $Pin(V)$ has a basic spin representation which we …

Concrete examples of noncongruence, arithmetic subgroups of SL(2,R)
A subgroup of $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$ is called arithmetic if it is commensurable with $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$.
An arithmetic subgroup is called congruence if it contains a subgroup of typ …
