We study the projective objects in an exact category naturally associated to a Coxeter system. We discuss an analog of the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture and show how it follows from a "genericity" conjecture and how the latter follows from a…

Let H(G) be the Hecke algebra of a reductive p-adic group G. We formulate a conjecture for the ideals in the Bernstein decomposition of H(G). The conjecture says that each ideal is geometrically equivalent to an algebraic variety. Our…

In a previous paper it was shown that a certain family of varieties suggested by Lusztig, is not enough to construct all irreducible complex representations of reductive groups over finite rings coming from the ring of integers in a local…

We investigate the representation theory of a large class of pointed Hopf algebras, extending results of Lusztig and others. We classify all simple modules in a suitable category and determine the weight multiplicities; we establish a…

Recently, a strong exponential character bound has been established in [3] for all elements $g \in \mathbf{G}^F$ of a finite reductive group $\mathbf{G}^F$ which satisfy the condition that the centraliser $C_{\mathbf{G}}(g)$ is contained in…

Perhaps the most important problem in representation theory in the 1970s and early 1980s was the determination of the multiplicity of composition factors in a Verma module. This problem was settled by the proof of the Kazhdan-Lusztig…

Let $G$ be a connected complex reductive algebraic group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The Lusztig--Vogan bijection relates two bases for the bounded derived category of $G$-equivariant coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone…

Lusztig conjectured that the almost characters of a finite reductive group are up to a scalar the same as the characteristic functions of the rational character sheaves defined on the corresponding algebraic group. We propose in this paper…

We revisit Haiman's conjecture on the relations between characters of Kazdhan-Lusztig basis elements of the Hecke algebra over the symmetric group. The conjecture asserts that, for purposes of character evaluation, any Kazhdan-Lusztig basis…

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…

Using Lusztig's geometric classification, we find the reducibility points of a standard module for the affine Hecke algebra, in the case when the inducing data is generic. This recovers the known result of Muic-Shahidi for representations…

In 1980 Lusztig proved a stabilisation property of the affine Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. In this paper we give a categorical version of such a result using the theory of sheaves on moment graphs. This leads us to associate with any…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \ge 0$. We give a case-free proof of Lusztig's conjectures [Unipotent elements in small characteristic, {\em Transform. Groups} 10…

Assuming the Lusztig conjecture on the irreducible characters for reductive algebraic groups in positive characteristic $p$, which is now a theorem for large $p$, we show that the modules for their Frobenius kernels induced from the simple…

Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials are important and mysterious objects in representation theory. Here we present a new formula for their computation for symmetric groups based on the Bruhat graph. Our approach suggests a solution to the…

Graded Hecke algebras can be constructed in terms of equivariant cohomology and constructible sheaves on nilpotent cones. In earlier work, their standard modules and their irreducible modules where realized with such geometric methods. We…

In this paper, we propose a conjectural formula for the order of the poles of intertwining operators in the context of the representation theory of general linear groups over $p$-adic fields. More specifically, we conjecturally relate the…

This paper consists of three interconnected parts. Parts I,III study the relationship between the cohomology of a reductive group and that of a Levi subgroup. For example, we provide a necessary condition, arising from Kazhdan-Lusztig…

Lusztig \cite{L5,L6} gave a parametrization for $\rm{Irr}(G^F)$, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with Frobenius map $F$. This parametrization is known as Lusztig's Jordan decomposition or Lusztig…

We introduce the concepts of an amazing hypercube decomposition and a double shortcut for it, and use these new ideas to formulate a conjecture implying the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture of the Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials for the…
