Centralizer bound for irreducible representations of $\operatorname{SU}_n(\mathbb{C})$
Let $G$ be a finite group, $χ$ be the character of an irreducible representation $V$ of $G$, and $g ∈ G$. Then a classical bound on the trace of $g$ is given by: $|χ(g)|² ≤ |C_G(g)|$, where $C_G(g)$ ...

When representations of reductive Lie group in a Banach space and in its Garding space have the same length?
Let $G$ be a real reductive Lie group (e.g. $G=\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb{R})$). Let $\rho$ be a continuous representation of $G$ in a Banach space $V$. Let $V^\infty\subset V$ be the subspace of ...

Why are coroots needed for the classification of reductive groups?
As we know reductive groups up to isomorphism corresponds to root data up to isomorphism. My question is why in the definition of root data do we need the coroots?
Let's break it down to two questions:...

Invariants for $SO_n \backslash \mathfrak{gl}_n / SO_n$
Is there a nice theorem about the algebra of invariants $\mathbb{C}[\mathfrak{gl}_n]^{SO_n \times SO_n}$, where the action is by left and right multiplication? I'm hoping for something along the lines ...

To what extent can the character of a representation as a distribution on $C_c^\infty(G)$ determine the representation?
