Let w be an elliptic element of the Weyl group of a connected reductive group G. Let X be the set of pairs (g,B) where g is an element of G, B is a Borel subgroup of G and B,gBg^{-1} are in relative position w. Then G acts naturally on X.…

We show that the higher-order Weyl algebras over a field of characteristic zero, which are formally rigid as associative algebras, can be formally deformed in a nontrivial way as hom-associative algebras. We also show that these…

Let G denote a group and let W be an algebra over a commutative ring R. We will say that W is a G-graded twisted algebra (not necessarily commutative, neither associative) if there exists a G-grading W=\bigoplus_{g \in G}W_{g} where each…

We consider the derived category of coherent sheaves on a complex vector space equivariant with respect to an action of a finite reflection group G. In some cases, including Weyl groups of type A, B, G_2, F_4, as well as the groups…

We define a map from the set of conjugacy classes of a Weyl group W to the representation ring of W tensored with the ring of polynomials in one variable.

Let g be a simple Lie algebra, with fixed Borel subalgebra b and with Weyl group W. Expanding on previous work of Fan and Stembridge in the simply laced case, this note aims to study the fully commutative elements of W, and their…

We give a generalization of "Curious Identity" of De Concini and Procesi. Our proof is based on the recent result of Waldspurger about the decomposition of the cone dual to the fundamental chamber of a finite reflection group as a disjoint…

We introduce and study "2-roots", which are symmetrized tensor products of orthogonal roots of Kac--Moody algebras. We concentrate on the case where $W$ is the Weyl group of a simply laced Y-shaped Dynkin diagram $Y_{a,b,c}$ having $n$…

Let W be an Iwahori-Weyl group of a connected reductive group G over a non-archimedean local field. I prove that if w is an element of W that does not act on the corresponding apartment of G by a translation then one can apply to w a…

We prove that if open subgroups of the groups of invertible elements in two Fourier-Stieltjes algebras are isometric as metric spaces, then the underlying locally compact groups are topologically isomorphic. We describe the structure of…

In a 2015 paper we have defined a map from the set of conjugacy classes in a Weyl group W to the set of irreducible representations of W (its image parametrizes the strata of a reductive group with Weyl group W). In this paper we provide…

For an arbitrary simple Lie algebra $\g$ and an arbitrary root of unity $q,$ the closed subsets of the Weyl alcove of the quantum group $U_q(\g)$ are classified. Here a closed subset is a set such that if any two weights in the Weyl alcove…

We classify (*)-subgroups of compact Lie groups of adjoint type, and associate a twisted root system to every (*)-subgroup. We study the structure of twisted root system in several aspects: properties of the small Weyl group W_{small} and…

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional complex vector space and $W\subseteq \GL(V)$ be a finite complex reflection group. Let $V^{\reg}$ be the complement in $V$ of the reflecting hyperplanes. We prove that $V^{\reg}$ is a $K(\pi,1)$ space. This…

Let W be a Weyl group. In my 1984 book a group was attached to any special representation of W using the theory of Springer representations. In this paper we give a new definition of this group which is purely algebraic (no use of geometry…

Let C be the centralizer in a finite Weyl group of an elementary abelian 2-subgroup. We show that every complex representation of C can be realized over the field of rational numbers. The same holds for a Sylow 2-subgroup of C.

Let W be a Weyl group. We define a class of irreducible representations of W that we call antispecial. They are in bijection with the constructible representations of W. We define an oriented graph structure on the set of antispecial…

Let G be a simple reductive group over the complex numbers. Let W be the Weyl group of G. We propose a description of the Springer representations of W associated to various unipotent classes of G by a purely algebraic method involving the…

Given a parabolic geometry on a smooth manifold $M$, we study a natural affine bundle $A \to M$, whose smooth sections can be identified with Weyl structures for the geometry. We show that the initial parabolic geometry defines a reductive…

We study three fundamental topics in the representation theory of disconnected algebraic groups whose identity component is reductive: (i) the classification of irreducible representations; (ii) the existence and properties of Weyl and dual…
