We study Koopman and quasi-regular representations corresponding to the action of arbitrary weakly branch group G on the boundary of a rooted tree T. One of the main results is that in the case of a quasi-invariant Bernoulli measure on the boundary of T the corresponding Koopman representation of G is irreducible (under some general conditions). We also show that quasi-regular representations of G corresponding to different orbits and Koopman representations corresponding to different Bernoulli measures on the boundary of T are pairwise disjoint. This gives two continual collections of pairwise disjoint irreducible representations of a weakly branch group. Another corollary of our results is triviality of the centralizer of G in various groups of transformations on the boundary of T.

We introduce a notion of measure contracting actions and show that Koopman representations corresponding to ergodic measure contracting actions are irreducible. As a corollary we obtain that Koopman representations associated to canonical actions of Higman-Thompson groups are irreducible. We also show that the actions of weakly branch groups on the boundaries of rooted trees are measure contracting. This gives a new point of view on irreducibility of the corresponding Koopman representations.
In this paper we investigate relations between Koopman, groupoid and quasi-regular representations of countable groups. We show that for an ergodic measure class preserving action of a countable group G on a standard Borel space the associated groupoid and quasi-regular representations are weakly equivalent and weakly contained in the Koopman representation. Moreover, if the action is hyperfinite then the Koopman representation is weakly equivalent to the groupoid. As a corollary of our results we obtain a continuum of pairwise disjoint pairwise equivalent irreducible representations of weakly branch groups. As an illustration we calculate spectra of regular, Koopman and groupoid representations associated to the action of the 2-group of intermediate growth constructed by the second author in 1980.
For a finite group $G$, let $p(G)$ denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of $G$. The minimal degree of a faithful representation of $G$ by quasi-permutation matrices over the fields $mathbb{C}$ and $mathbb{Q}$ are denoted by $c(G)$ and $q(G)$ respectively. In general $c(G)leq q(G)leq p(G)$ and either inequality may be strict. In this paper, we study the representation theory of the group $G =$ Hol$(C_{p^{n}})$, which is the holomorph of a cyclic group of order $p^n$, $p$ a prime. This group is metacyclic when $p$ is odd and metabelian but not metacyclic when $p=2$ and $n geq 3$. We explicitly describe the set of all isomorphism types of irreducible representations of $G$ over the field of complex numbers $mathbb{C}$ as well as the isomorphism types over the field of rational numbers $mathbb{Q}$. We compute the Wedderburn decomposition of the rational group algebra of $G$. Using the descriptions of the irreducible representations of $G$ over $mathbb{C}$ and over $mathbb{Q}$, we show that $c(G) = q(G) = p(G) = p^n$ for any prime $p$. The proofs are often different for the case of $p$ odd and $p=2$.
We introduce notions of absolutely non-free and perfectly non-free group actions and use them to study the associated unitary representations. We show that every weakly branch group acts absolutely non-freely on the boundary of the associated rooted tree. Using this result and the symmetrized diagonal actions we construct for every countable branch group infinitely many different ergodic perfectly non-free actions, infinitely many II$_1$-factor representations, and infinitely many continuous ergodic invariant random subgroups.
A new class of locally unital and locally finite dimensional algebras $A$ over an arbitrary algebraically closed field is discovered. Each of them admits an upper finite weakly triangular decomposition, a generalization of an upper finite triangular decomposition. Any locally unital algebra which admits an upper finite Cartan decomposition is Morita equivalent to some special locally unital algebra $A$ which admits an upper finite weakly triangular decomposition. It is established that the category $A$-lfdmod of locally finite dimensional left $A$-modules is an upper finite fully stratified category in the sense of Brundan-Stroppel. Moreover, $A$ is semisimple if and only if its centralizer subalgebras associated to certain idempotent elements are semisimple. Furthermore, certain endofunctors are defined and give categorical actions of some Lie algebras on the subcategory of $A$-lfdmod consisting of all objects which have a finite standard filtration. In the case $A$ is the locally unital algebra associated to one of cyclotomic oriented Brauer categories, cyclotomic Brauer categories and cyclotomic Kauffman categories, $A$ admits an upper finite weakly triangular decomposition. This leads to categorifications of representations of the classical limits of coideal algebras, which come from all integrable highest weight modules of $mathfrak {sl}_infty$ or $hat {mathfrak{sl}}_e$. Finally, we study representations of $A$ associated to either cyclotomic Brauer categories or cyclotomic Kauffman categories in details, including explicit criteria on the semisimplicity of $A$ over an arbitrary field, and on $A$-lfdmod being upper finite highest weight category in the sense of Brundan-Stroppel, and on Morita equivalence between $A$ and direct sum of infinitely many (degenerate) cyclotomic Hecke algebras.
