1. Type-I permanence

   https://doi.org/10.1090/ert/648  

   Chirvasitu, Alexandru (July 2023, Representation Theory of the American Mathematical Society)

   We prove a number of results on the survival of the type-I property under extensions of locally compact groups: (a) that given a closed normal embedding $\mathbb{N}⊴<\#comment/>\mathbb{E}$of locally compact groups and a twisted action $(\mathrm{\alpha <\#comment/>},\mathrm{\tau <\#comment/>})$thereof on a (post)liminal $C^{\ast <\#comment/>}$-algebra $A$the twisted crossed product $A{⋊<\#comment/>}_{\mathrm{\alpha <\#comment/>},\mathrm{\tau <\#comment/>}}\mathbb{E}$is again (post)liminal and (b) a number of converses to the effect that under various conditions a normal, closed, cocompact subgroup $\mathbb{N}⊴<\#comment/>\mathbb{E}$is type-I as soon as $\mathbb{E}$is. This happens for instance if $\mathbb{N}$is discrete and $\mathbb{E}$is Lie, or if $\mathbb{N}$is finitely-generated discrete (with no further restrictions except cocompactness). Examples show that there is not much scope for dropping these conditions. In the same spirit, call a locally compact group $\mathbb{G}$type-I-preserving if all semidirect products $\mathbb{N}⋊<\#comment/>\mathbb{G}$are type-I as soon as $\mathbb{N}$is, andlinearlytype-I-preserving if the same conclusion holds for semidirect products $V⋊<\#comment/>\mathbb{G}$arising from finite-dimensional $\mathbb{G}$-representations. We characterize the (linearly) type-I-preserving groups that are (1) discrete-by-compact-Lie, (2) nilpotent, or (3) solvable Lie.

2. Infinite sumsets in sets with positive density

   https://doi.org/10.1090/jams/1030  

   Kra, Bryna; Moreira, Joel; Richter, Florian; Robertson, Donald (August 2023, Journal of the American Mathematical Society)

   Motivated by questions asked by Erdős, we prove that any set $A\subset <\#comment/>\mathbb{N}$with positive upper density contains, for any $k\in <\#comment/>\mathbb{N}$, a sumset $B_1+\cdots <\#comment/>+B_k$, where $B_1$, …, $B_k\subset <\#comment/>\mathbb{N}$are infinite. Our proof uses ergodic theory and relies on structural results for measure preserving systems. Our techniques are new, even for the previously known case of $k=2$.

3. Higher semiadditive Grothendieck-Witt theory and the 𝐾(1)-local sphere

   https://doi.org/10.1090/cams/17  

   Carmeli, Shachar; Yuan, Allen (March 2023, Communications of the American Mathematical Society)

   We develop a higher semiadditive version of Grothendieck-Witt theory. We then apply the theory in the case of a finite field to study the higher semiadditive structure of the $K\left(1\right)$-local sphere ${\mathbb{S}}_{K\left(1\right)}$at the prime $2$, in particular realizing the non- $2$-adic rational element $1+\mathrm{\epsilon <\#comment/>}\in <\#comment/>{\mathrm{\pi <\#comment/>}}_0{\mathbb{S}}_{K\left(1\right)}$as a “semiadditive cardinality.” As a further application, we compute and clarify certain power operations in ${\mathrm{\pi <\#comment/>}}_0{\mathbb{S}}_{K\left(1\right)}$.

4. On symmetric representations of 𝑆𝐿₂(ℤ)

   https://doi.org/10.1090/proc/16205  

   Ng, Siu-Hung; Wang, Yilong; Wilson, Samuel (January 2023, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society)

   We introduce the notions of symmetric and symmetrizable representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$. The linear representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$arising from modular tensor categories are symmetric and have congruence kernel. Conversely, one may also reconstruct modular data from finite-dimensional symmetric, congruence representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$. By investigating a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-symmetry of some Weil representations at prime power levels, we prove that all finite-dimensional congruence representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$are symmetrizable. We also provide examples of unsymmetrizable noncongruence representations of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2<\#comment/>\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$that are subrepresentations of a symmetric one.

5. The reduced ring of the 𝑅𝑂(𝐶₂)-graded 𝐶₂-equivariant stable stems

   https://doi.org/10.1090/bproc/203  

   Belmont, Eva; Xu, Zhouli; Zhang, Shangjie (January 2024, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Series B)

   We describe in terms of generators and relations the ring structure of the $RO\left(C_2\right)$-graded $C_2$-equivariant stable stems ${\mathrm{\pi <\#comment/>}}_{\star <\#comment/>}^{C_2}$modulo the ideal of all nilpotent elements. As a consequence, we also record the ring structure of the homotopy groups of the rational $C_2$-equivariant sphere ${\mathrm{\pi <\#comment/>}}_{\star <\#comment/>}^{C_2}\left({\mathbb{S}}_{\mathbb{Q}}\right)$.
