We discuss a practical algorithm to compute parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. As an application we compute Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials which are needed to evaluate a character formula for reductive groups due to Lusztig. Some…
In this work a combinatorial approach towards the weak Lefschetz property is developed that relates this property to enumerations of signed perfect matchings as well as to enumerations of signed families of non-intersecting lattice paths in…
This survey article is an introduction to some of Lusztig's work on the character theory of a finite group of Lie type $G(F_q)$, where $q$ is a power of a prime~$p$. It is partly based on two series of lectures given at the Centre Bernoulli…
Consider a standard graded artinian $k$-algebra $B$ and an extension of $B$ by a new variable, $A=B\otimes_k k[x]/(x^d)$ for some $d\geq 1$. We will show how maximal rank properties for powers of a general linear form on $A$ can be…
Using a general result of Lusztig, we find the decomposition into irreducibles of certain induced characters of the projective general linear group over a finite field of odd characteristic.
In order to tackle the problem of generically determining the character tables of the finite groups of Lie type $\mathbf{G}(q)$ associated to a connected reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ over $\overline{\mathbb F}_p$, Lusztig developed the…
The paper relates character value of an irreducible representation of a compact connected Lie group at certain elements of finite order with the dimension of a representation on another group, up to some precise constants, which all have…
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…
In this paper we study the complex representations of reductive groups over local non-Archimedean fields. We use the building of the reductive group to give upper-bounds for the absolute value of the character of an admissible…
We define the strong Lefschetz property for finite graded modules over graded Artinian algebras whose grading is not necessarily standard. We show that most results which have been obtained for Artinian algebras with standard grading can be…
Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group defined over a finite field of good characteristic, with associated Frobenius endomorphism $F$. In this article we extend an observation of Lusztig, (which gives a numerical relationship between an…
We propose a definition of an Euler characteristic for unbounded chain complexes by taking the (usual) Euler characteristics of successively longer parts of the complex, weighted inversely proportional to the length, and passing to the…
We prove the relative hard Lefschetz theorem for Soergel bimodules. It follows that the structure constants of the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis are unimodal. We explain why the relative hard Lefschetz theorem implies that the tensor category…
To each finite Coxeter system (W,S) and to each weight function L, Lusztig has defined the notions of constructible characters and of Lusztig families of W, using the so-called J-induction. Whenever L is constant, and using a general…
The theory of almost characters which is closely related to character sheaves is proposed by Lusztig to study the representation theory of finite reductive groups. In this article we show that the decomposition of the Weil character for…
We show that Lusztig's $a$-function of a Coxeter group is bounded if the Coxeter group has a complete graph (i.e. any two vertices are joined) and the cardinalities of finite parabolic subgroups of the Coxeter group have a common upper…
We study irreducible restrictions from modules over alternating groups to subgroups. We get reduction results which substantially restrict the classes of subgroups and modules for which this is possible. This is known when the…
Consider ideals $I$ of the form \[ I=(x_1^2,\dots, x_n^2)+\mathrm{RLex}(x_ix_j) \] where $\mathrm{RLex}(x_ix_j)$ is the ideal generated by all the square-free monomials which are greater than or equal to $x_ix_j$ in the reverse…
We present upper bounds on certain sums which are related to Artin's primitive root conjecture and are also used in counting ray class characters.
In 1961, Solomon gave upper and lower bounds for the sum of all the entries in the character table of a finite group in terms of elementary properties of the group. In a different direction, we consider the ratio of the character table sum…
