Is there a purely group-theoretic reformulation of an equivalence of subgroups?
There is an equivalence relation between inclusion of finite groups coming from the world of subfactors:
Definition: $(H_{1} \subset G_{1}) \sim(H_{2} \subset G_{2})$ if $(R^{G_{1}} \subset R^{H_{1}}...

Is there a link between $H_2(G,\mathbb{Z})$, the Schur Multiplier of a group, and the "other" Schur multipliers of a group?
The name for the the following 2 mathematical objects:
$$H_2(G,\mathbb{Z})$$ and
$$\{K:G\times G\longrightarrow\mathbb{C}\ |\ \forall T\in B(l^2(G))\text{we have that}~S:G\times G\longrightarrow\...

An upper bound for the maximal subgroups at fixed index?
Let us call a subgroup an injective homomorphism between groups.
I warn the reader that a subgroup designates here an inclusion $(H \subset G)$, not $H$ alone.
A subgroup $H \subset G$ is ...

Regarding Cayley Graphs of Property (T) Groups
A well-known application of Kazhdan's Property (T) is the construction of expander graphs. Background on this is discussed, for example, in this post on Terry Tao's blog. Essentially, Cayley graphs of ...

Schur's Lemma for Hilbert spaces
Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and let a group $G$ act on $H$ such that there are no invariant closed subspaces besides $H$ and $(0)$. Let $D$ be the ring of bounded operators which commute with ...

Which group algebras in analysis are "true group algebras"?
Let $G$ be a group, $A$ a unital associative algebra over ${\mathbb C}$, and let us call a representation of $G$ in $A$ an arbitrary map $\pi:G\to A$ such that
$$
\pi(1)=1,\qquad \pi(a\cdot b)=\pi(a)\...

Is norm-continuous representation factored through a Lie quotient group?
I asked this 11 days ago at MSE, but there was no answer, I hope people here could help.
Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and $X$ a Hilbert space. A unitary representation $\varphi:G\to B(X)$ is ...

Are umbral moonshine and umbral calculus connected?
In a 2013 article, Cheng, Duncan and Harvey introduce the concept of umbral moonshine as a generalization of monstrous moonshine. The terminology they use, starting with the title, is common in umbral ...

The left regular representation of the Jacobi groups over local fields of characteristic >2 is type I?
Let $K$ be a non-archimedean local field of characteristic $>2$. Consider the Jacobi group $G=H_{2n+1}(K)\rtimes Sp_{2n}(K)$, which is the semidirect product of the Heisenberg group $H_{2n+1}(K)$ ...
