Title: Contragredients and a multiplicity one theorem for general spin groups
Each orthogonal group O(n) has a nontrivial GL(1)-extension, which we call GPin(n). The identity component of GPin(n) is the more familiar GSpin(n), the general Spin group. We prove that the restriction toGPin(n−1) of an irreducible admissible representation ofGPin(n) over a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero is multiplicity free and also prove the analogous theorem for GSpin(n). Our proof uses the method of Aizenbud, Gourevitch, Rallis and Schiffman, who proved the analogous theorem for O(n), and of Waldspurger, who proved that for SO(n). We also give an explicit description of the contragredient of an irreducible admissible representation of GPin(n) and GSpin(n), which is needed to apply their method to our situations.  more » « less

    We prove that for any n-qubit unitary transformation U and for any r = 2^{o(n / log n)}, there exists a quantum circuit to implement U^{⊗ r} with at most O(4ⁿ) gates. This asymptotically equals the number of gates needed to implement just a single copy of a worst-case U. We also establish analogous results for quantum states and diagonal unitary transformations. Our techniques are based on the work of Uhlig [Math. Notes 1974], who proved a similar mass production theorem for Boolean functions.

  2. The authors proved that a Weyl module for a simple algebraic group is irreducible over every field if and only if the module is isomorphic to the adjoint representation for $$E_{8}$$ or its highest weight is minuscule. In this paper, we prove an analogous criteria for irreducibility of Weyl modules over the quantum group $$U_{\zeta}({{\mathfrak g}})$$ where $${\mathfrak g}$$ is a complex simple Lie algebra and $$\zeta$$ ranges over roots of unity.

  3. Suppose that $$\mathbf{G}$$ is a connected reductive group over a finite extension $$F/\mathbb{Q}_{p}$$ and that $$C$$ is a field of characteristic  $$p$$ . We prove that the group $$\mathbf{G}(F)$$ admits an irreducible admissible supercuspidal, or equivalently supersingular, representation over  $$C$$ .

  4. Let X =G/Γ, where G is a connected Lie group and Γ is a lattice in G. Let O be an open subset of X, and let F = {g_t : t ≥ 0} be a one-parameter subsemigroup of G. Consider the set of points in X whose F-orbit misses O; it has measure zero if the flow is ergodic. It has been conjectured that, assuming ergodicity, this set has Hausdorff dimension strictly smaller than the dimension of X. This conjecture has been proved when X is compact or when G is a simple Lie group of real rank 1, or, most recently, for certain flows on the space of lattices. In this paper we prove this conjecture for arbitrary Addiagonalizable flows on irreducible quotients of semisimple Lie groups. The proof uses exponential mixing of the flow together with the method of integral inequalities for height functions on G/Γ. We also derive an application to jointly Dirichlet-Improvable systems of linear forms.

  5. We prove a representation stability result for the codimension-one cohomology of the level-three congruence subgroup of $$\mathbf{SL}_{n}(\mathbb{Z})$$ . This is a special case of a question of Church, Farb, and Putman which we make more precise. Our methods involve proving finiteness properties of the Steinberg module for the group $$\mathbf{SL}_{n}(K)$$ for $$K$$ a field. This also lets us give a new proof of Ash, Putman, and Sam’s homological vanishing theorem for the Steinberg module. We also prove an integral refinement of Church and Putman’s homological vanishing theorem for the Steinberg module for the group $$\mathbf{SL}_{n}(\mathbb{Z})$$ .
