This paper contains an exposition of the theory of character sheaves for reductive groups and some attempts to extend it to other cases: unipotent groups, reductive groups modulo the unipotent radical of a parabolic.

We develop a $\mathtt{q}$-analogue of the theory of conjugation equivariant $\mathcal D$-modules on a complex reductive group $G$. In particular, we define quantum Hotta-Kashiwara modules and compute their endomorphism algebras. We use the…

We study the gerbal representations of a finite group $G$ or, equivalently, module categories over Ostrik's category $Vec_G^\alpha$ for a 3-cocycle $\alpha$. We adapt Bartlett's string diagram formalism to this situation to prove that 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…

We present a conjecture (and a proof for G=SL(2)) generalizing a result of J. Arthur which expresses a character value of a cuspidal representation of a $p$-adic group as a weighted orbital integral of its matrix coefficient. It also…

This is an extended abstract of our work "Level-Rank Dualities from $\Phi$-Cuspidal Pairs..." We present evidence for a family of surprising coincidences within the representation theory of a finite reductive group $G$: more precisely,…

Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field of residual characteristic $p$. Let $G$ denote a connected reductive group over $F$ that splits over a tamely ramified extension of $F$. Let $(K ,\rho)$ be a type as constructed by Kim and Yu. We show…

In this work, we generalize the notion of character for 2-representations of finite 2-groups. The properties of 2-characters bear strong similarities to those classical characters of finite groups, including conjugation invariance,…

We construct projective (unitary) representations of Hecke groups from the vector spaces associated with the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev topological quantum field theory of higher genus surfaces. In particular, we generalize the modular data…

We construct categories of Harish-Chandra bimodules for affine Lie algebras analogous to Harish-Chandra bimodules with infinitesimal characters for simple Lie algebras, addressing an old problem raised by I. Frenkel and Malikov. Under an…

In this paper we provide a geometric framework for the study of characters of depth-zero representations of unramified groups over local fields with finite residue fields which is built directly on Lusztig's theory of character sheaves for…

This paper concerns character sheaves of connected reductive algebraic groups defined over non-Archimedean local fields and their relation with characters of smooth representations. Although character sheaves were devised with characters of…

We consider homological mirror symmetry in the context of hypertoric varieties, showing that appropriate categories of B-branes (that is, coherent sheaves) on an additive hypertoric variety match a category of A-branes on a Dolbeault…
