Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $F_q$, where $q$ is large enough and the center of $G$ is connected. We are concerned with Lusztig's theory of {\em character sheaves}, a geometric version of the classical character theory of the…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $\kk$, an algebraic closure of a finite field. For an integer $r\ge 1$ let $G_r=G(\kk[\e]/(\e^r))$ viewed as an algebraic group of dimension $r\dim G$ over $\kk$. We show that the character of the…

Let G be a reductive connected group over the algebraic closure of a finite field. In this paper we give the classification of character sheaves on G in categorical terms (as a categorical centre). Previously such a classification was known…

Let $\mathcal{A}(q)$ be a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with $q$ elements, and let $G(q) = 1+\mathcal{A}(q)$. On the other hand, let $\Bbbk$ denote the algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, and…

We classify the unipotent character sheaves on a fixed connected component of a reductive algebraic group under a mild hypothesis on the characteristic of the ground field.

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type. In order to determine the character table of $G$, Lusztig developed the theory of character sheaves. In this framework, one has to find the transformation between two bases for the space of class…

This article is based on lectures given by the authors in 2005 and 2006. Our first goal is to present an introduction to the orbit method with an emphasis on the character theory of finite nilpotent groups. The second goal (motivated by a…

Let $G(q)$ be a Chevalley group over a finite field $F_q$. By Lusztig's and Shoji's work, the problem of computing the values of the unipotent characters of $G(q)$ is solved, in principle, by the theory of character sheaves; one issue in…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study certain irreducible perverse l-adic sheaves on a reductive group G over a finite field (we call them gamma-sheaves). One can construct such a sheaf starting with (almost) every…

In this paper, we present a vertex operator approach to construct and compute all complex irreducible characters of the general linear group $\GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$. Green's theory of $\GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$ is recovered and enhanced under the…

Let $G$ be a finite Chevalley group. We are concerned with computing the values of the unipotent characters of $G$ by making use of Lusztig's theory of character sheaves. In this framework, one has to find the transformation between several…

We prove a microlocal characterisation of character sheaves on a reductive Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of sufficiently large positive characteristic: a perverse irreducible G-equivariant sheaf is a character sheaf if and…

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…
