An upper bound on the exceptional characteristics for Lusztig's character formula

Representation Theory 2015-08-27 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We develop and study a Lefschetz theory in a combinatorial category associated to a root system and derive an upper bound on the exceptional characteristics for Lusztig's formula for the simple rational characters of a reductive algebraic group. Our bound is huge compared to the Coxeter number. It is, however, given by an explicit formula.
