Let $G$ be a reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field $F$. In the quest for a classification of irreducible smooth representations of $G$, it is critical to understand the case of supercuspidal representations -- those whose matrix…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\textrm{cd}(G)$ be the set of all complex irreducible character degrees of $G.$ In this paper, we show that if $\textrm{cd}(G)=\textrm{cd}(H),$ where $H$ is a finite simple exceptional group of Lie type,…

Let $G$ be a finite solvable or symmetric group and let $B$ be a $2$-block of $G$. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible characters of height zero in $B$ and those in its Brauer first main correspondent. For…

We study the projective geometry of homogeneous varieties $X= G/P\subset P(V)$, where $G$ is a complex simple Lie group, $P$ is a maximal parabolic subgroup and $V$ is the minimal $G$-module associated to $P$. Our study began with the…

We consider the generalized character $\Psi_{1,p,G}$ of a finite group $G$ which vanishes on all $p$-singular elements of $G$ and whose value at each $p$-regular $y \in G$ is the number of $p$-elements of $C_{G}(y)$. We conjecture that this…

We prove that for every reductive algebraic group $H$ with centre of positive dimension and every integer $K$ there is a smooth and projective variety $X$ and an algebraic $H$-torsor $P \to X$ such that the classifying map $X \to \Bclass H$…

Let $G=GL_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ and $1\ne\psi:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}^{\times}$ be an additive character. Let $U$ be the subgroup of upper triangular unipotent matrices in $G$. Denote by $\theta$ the character $\theta:U\to\mathbb{C}$ given by \[…

Let $\Pi_0$ be a representation of a group $H$. We say that a representation $\tau$ is $(H,\Pi_0)$-distinguished, if it is a quotient of $\Pi_0$. It is natural to ask whether this notion "inflates" to larger groups, in the sense that a…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $1\leq p<\infty$. A continuous unitary representation $\pi\!: G\to B(\mathcal{H})$ of $G$ is an $L^p$-representation if the matrix coefficient functions $s\mapsto \langle \pi(s)x,x\rangle$ lie in…

Let $G$ be a solvable group. Let $p$ be a prime and let $Q$ be a $p$-subgroup of a subgroup $V$. Suppose $\phi \in \ibr G$. If either $|G|$ is odd or $p = 2$, we prove that the number of Brauer characters of $H$ inducing $\phi$ with vertex…

We study the representation theory of the type B Schur algebra $\mathcal{L}^n(m)$ with unequal parameters introduced in work of Lai, Nakano and Xiang. For generic values of $q,Q$, this algebra is semi-simple and Morita equivalent to the…

A classical theorem of I. Schur states that the degree of any irreducible complex representation of a finite group $G$ divides the order of $G/\mathscr{Z} G$, where $\mathscr{Z} G$ is the center $G$. This note discusses similar divisibility…

Let G be a reductive group over a commutative ring R. We say that G has isotropic rank >=n, if every normal semisimple reductive R-subgroup of G contains (G_m)^n. We prove that if G has isotropic rank >=1 and R is a regular domain…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a connected reductive group over $\mathcal{O}$, a complete discrete valuation ring with finite residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $R_{T_r,U_r}^{\theta}$ be a level $r$ Deligne--Lusztig representation of…

We define an extension of the affine Brauer algebra, the type B/C affine Brauer algebra. This new algebra contains the hyperoctahedral group and it naturally acts on $END_K(X \otimes V^{\otimes k})$ for Orthogonal and Symplectic groups.…

In this paper, we obtain an explicit formula for the theta correspondence of unipotent principal-series representations between an even orthogonal and a symplectic group or between general linear groups over a finite field. The formula is…

The nonstandard Hecke algebra \check{\mathscr{H}}_r was defined by Mulmuley and Sohoni to study the Kronecker problem. We study a quotient \check{\mathscr{H}}_{r,2} of \check{\mathscr{H}}_r, called the nonstandard Temperley-Lieb algebra,…

Building on our previous work on rigid analytic uniformizations, we introduce Darmon points on Jacobians of Shimura curves attached to quaternion algebras over Q and formulate conjectures about their rationality properties. Moreover, if K…

In \cite{FMX19}, it is proved that the convolution algebra of top Borel-Moore homology on Steinberg variety of type $B/C$ realizes $U(sl_n^{\theta})$, where $sl_{n}^{\theta}$ is the fixed point subalgebra of involution on $sl_n$. So top…
