A possible invariant associated to a compact group
Let $G$ be a compact topological group with normalized Haar measure $\mu$.
Is there an effective isometric action of $G$ on some $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that the following map would be a non-irreducible ...

Stabilizers of multilinear forms
Let $\{e_1,\ldots, e_n\}$ be the standard basis of $\mathbb{C}^n$. Consider the $m$-multilinear form $$v=\sum_{i=1}^n e_i^{\otimes m}\in (\mathbb{C}^n)^{\otimes m}$$
and consider the action of $\text{...

Determining the irreducible invariant subspaces of a permutation action by computing eigenspaces of a matrix
Let $\Sigma\subseteq\mathrm{Sym}(n)$ be a permutation group on $N:=\{1,...,n\}$.
My goal is to determine the irreducible invariant subspaces of the permutation action of $\Sigma$ on $\Bbb R^n$, and I ...

Finding invariant closed subspace which are also subgroups for the action of $\text{SL}(2, \Bbb Z)$ on $\Bbb R^n\times \Bbb R^n$
I recently came across to the following action of $\text{SL}(2,\Bbb Z)$ on the space $\Bbb R^n\times\Bbb R^n$ defined as
$$
\begin{pmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{pmatrix}\cdot \big(v,\,w\big)\...

Find representation set of orbits when group acts on a set
Let group $G$ acts on a set $S$. Burnside's lemma gives as how to count numbers of orbits. I am interested how to find the orbits. By finding orbits I mean how to find a representative from each orbit....

Diameter of a quotient of the infinite dimensional sphere
Suppose a group $\Gamma$ acts by isometries on the Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}^\infty$ and it fixes the origin. So $\Gamma$ acts on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^\infty$ as well.
Assume that the action $...

Does a quotient group $G/N$ have a natural action on the regular representation of $G$?
Let $G$ be a group. I am happy to assume niceties such as finite and abelian, but perhaps it is not necessary to answer my question.
Consider the $|G|$-dimensional vector space $V$ (over some nice ...

Unitary representations of Tarski Monsters and other beasts
Did people study the unitary representations of Tarsky Monsters, for example the ones constructed by Ol'shanskii? Are there any exotic representations, ie. except the ones related to the left regular, ...

Rational conjugation of elements of a finite group
Let $G$ be a finite group. Two elements $x$ and $y$ of $G$ are said to be rationally conjugate, written $x \sim_{r} y$, if and only if $\langle x\rangle$ and $\langle y\rangle$ are conjugate subgroups ...

Actions and representations of profinite groups
Let $p$ be a prime number, and denote by $\mathbb{Z}_p$ the additive profinite group of p-adic integers. Let $G$ be a finitely generated profinite group of order coprime to $p$, and $V = \mathbb{Z}_p^{...

Actions of $Z_n$ and actions of $Z_{n-1}$
I am playing with some questions concerning connections between
certain poset partitions and their linear extensions. This is not
my usual playground, I just happened to stumble upon something.
