It is a well-known fact that although the poset of open sets of a topological space is a Heyting algebra, its Heyting implication is not necessarily stable under the inverse image of continuous functions and hence is not a geometric…

We introduce a concept that we call module restriction, which generalizes the classical Weil restriction. We first establish some fundamental properties, as existence and \'etaleness. Then we apply our results to show that Grothendiecks…

We show how to represent a class of expressions involving discrete sums over partitions as matrix models. We apply this technique to the partition functions of 2* theories, i.e. Seiberg-Witten theories with the massive hypermultiplet in the…

We introduce and motivate -- based on ongoing joint work with Germ\'an Stefanich -- the notion of potent categorical representations of a complex reductive group $G$, specifically a conjectural Langlands correspondence identifying potent…

Let V be an even dimensional vector space over a field K of characteristic 2 equipped with a non-degenerate alternating bilinear form f. The divided power algebra DV is considered as a complex with differential defined from f. We examine…

We study geometric representations of GL(n,R) for a ring R. The structure of the associated Hecke algebras is analyzed and shown to be cellular. Multiplicities of the irreducible constituents of these representations are linked to the…

Triangle presentations are combinatorial structures on finite projective geometries which characterize groups acting simply transitively on the vertices of a locally finite building of type $\tilde{\text{A}}_{n-1}$ ($n\ge3$). From a type…

We define a GL-variety to be a (typically infinite dimensional) algebraic variety equipped with an action of the infinite general linear group under which the coordinate ring forms a polynomial representation. Such varieties have been used…

Consider the action of a subgroup $G$ of the permutation group on the polynomial ring $S := k[x_{1}, \ldots, x_{n}]$ via permutations. We show that if $k$ does not have characteristic two, then the following are independent of $k$: the…

Using the \texttt{WeylModules} \textsf{GAP} Package, we compute structural information about certain Weyl modules for type $G_2$ in characteristic $2$. This gives counterexamples to two conjectures stated by S.~Donkin in 1990. It also…

The finite symplectic group Sp(2g) over the field of two elements has a natural representation on the vector space of Siegel modular forms of given weight for the principal congruence subgroup of level two. In this paper we decompose this…

Let $G=GL_{n}(F)$ and let $(\pi_{St},V)$ be a (generalized) Steinberg representation of $G$. It is well known that the space of Iwahori fixed vectors in $V$ is one dimensional. The Iwahori Hecke algebra acts on this space via a character.…

In these notes we construct a quantization functor, associating an Hilbert space H(V) to a finite dimensional symplectic vector space V over a finite field F_q. As a result, we obtain a canonical model for the Weil representation of the…

Let $\mathbb{S}$ denote the oscillatory module over the complex symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}= \mathfrak{sp}(\mathbb{V}^{\mathbb{C}},\omega).$ Consider the $\mathfrak{g}$-module…

We have previously shown that the truncated Weil algebra of any Lie algebra is a Hopf-cyclic type complex with nontrivial coefficients. In this paper we apply this result to transfer the characteristic classes of transversely orientable…

Polynomial representations of general linear groups and modules over Schur algebras are compared. We work over an arbitrary commutative ring and show that Schur-Weyl duality is the key for an equivalence between both categories.

We provide a direct connection between Springer theory, via Green polynomials, the irreducible representations of the pin cover $\wti W$, a certain double cover of the Weyl group $W$, and an extended Dirac operator for graded Hecke…

Let $G$ denote a reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$ and $x$ a nilpotent element of its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The Springer variety $\mathcal{B}_x$ is the closed subvariety of the flag variety $\mathcal{B}$ of $G$…

Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra and $g$ an automorphism of finite order. We construct an associative algebra $A_g(V)$ and a pair of functors between the category of $A_g(V)$-modules and a certain category of admissible $g$-twisted…

The geometric condition defining a spherical variety for a reductive algebraic group was generalized in [AG21], with applications to representation theory. We twist by a character to generalize this definition, and show its equivalence to a…
