Let G be the group of rational points of a connected reductive p-adic group and let K be a maximal compact subgroup satisfying conditions of Theorem 5 from Harish-Chandra (1970). Generalized spherical functions on G are eigenfunctions for the action of the Bernstein center, which satisfy a transformation property for the action of K. In this paper we show that spaces of generalized spherical fu...

We present a new method of calculating intertwining operators between principal series representations of semisimple Lie groups G. Working in the compact realization we nd the eigenvalues of the operators on the K-types, and give several examples. Among the advantages of our method is its applicability to bundle-valued cases. 0. Introduction Intertwining operators of various forms play an impor...

We show that the Weierstrass points of the generic curve of genus g over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 generate a group of maximal rank in the Jacobian. The Weierstrass points are a set of distinguished points on curves, which are geometrically intrinsic. In particular, the group these points generate in the Jacobian is a geometric invariant of the curve. A natural question ...

All groups considered are finite. Given a group G, the Frattini subgroup of G, Q(G) is defined to be the intersection of all maximal subgroups of G. There has been much interest in generalizing the Frattini subgroup in various ways, and in investigating their influence on the structure of the group (see [3,.5,8,12,13]). These generalizations were done taking into account the following question:...

The present paper deals with a maximal subgroup of the Thompson group, namely the group 2 + A9 := G. We compute its conjugacy classes using the coset analysis method, its inertia factor groups and Fischer matrices, which are required for the computations of the character table of G by means of Clifford-Fischer Theory.

We develop some new topological tools to study maximal subgroups of free idempotent generated semigroups. As an application, we show that the rank 1 component of the free idempotent generated semigroup of the biordered set of a full matrix monoid of size n×n,n > 2 over a division ring Q has maximal subgroup isomorphic to the multiplicative subgroup of Q.
