Let $q$ be a prime power, $G=GL_n(q)$ and let $U\leqslant G$ be the subgroup of (lower) unitriangular matrices in $G$. For a partition $\lambda$ of $n$ denote the corresponding unipotent Specht module over the complex field $\C$ for $G$ by…

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…

Following the ideas in~\cite{yM88} and some inspiration from~\cite{KO24}, we construct a bialgebra $T_q(n)$ and a pointed Hopf algebra $UT_q(n)$ which quantize the coordinate rings of the algebra of upper triangular matrices and of the…

This paper gives a plethysm formula on the characteristic map of the induced linear characters from the unipotent upper-triangular matrices $U_n(\mathbb F_q)$ to $GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$, the general linear group over finite field $\mathbb F_q$.…

This paper constructs a novel Hopf algebra $\mathsf{cf}(\mathrm{UT}_{\bullet})$ on the class functions of the unipotent upper triangular groups $\mathrm{UT}_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ over a finite field. This construction is representation…

Even with the introduction of supercharacter theories, the representation theory of many unipotent groups remains mysterious. This paper constructs a family of supercharacter theories for normal pattern groups in a way that exhibit many of…

We look at Bohemians, specifically those with population $\{-1, 0, {+1}\}$ and sometimes $\{0,1,i,-1,-i\}$. More, we specialize the matrices to be upper Hessenberg Bohemian. From there, focusing on only those matrices whose characteristic…

Let $U(q)$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of the Chevalley groups $D_4(q)$ where $q$ is a power of a prime $p$. We describe a construction of all complex irreducible characters of $U(q)$ and obtain a classification of these irreducible characters…

Let $UY_n(q)$ be a Sylow p-subgroup of an untwisted Chevalley group $Y_n(q)$ of rank n defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ where q is a power of a prime p. We partition the set $Irr(UY_n(q))$ of irreducible characters of $UY_n(q)$ into families…

Let G be a connected unipotent group over a finite field F_q with q elements. In this article we propose a definition of L-packets of complex irreducible representations of the finite group G(F_q) and give an explicit description of…

This paper introduces a novel class of prime-generating quadratic polynomials defined by $f_{Z,k,H}(n) = n^2 - (2Zk - 1)n + \frac{(2Zk - 1)^2 + H}{4}$, where $Zk \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ and $H$ belongs to the set of Heegner numbers. This…

The affine Hecke algebra of type $A$ has two parameters $\left( q,t\right) $ and acts on polynomials in $N$ variables. There are two important pairwise commuting sets of elements in the algebra: the Cherednik operators and the Jucys-Murphy…

Let $\mathfrak S_{[i,j]}$ be the subgroup of the symmetric group $\mathfrak S_n$ generated by adjacent transpositions $(i,i+1), \dotsc, (j-1,j)$, assuming $1 \leq i < j \leq n$. We give a combinatorial rule for evaluating induced sign…

Let $M_{1,2}(F)$ be the algebra of $3 \times 3$ matrices with orthosymplectic superinvolution $*$ over a field $F$ of characteristic zero. We study the $*$-identities of this algebra through the representation theory of the group…

For every odd prime $p$ and every integer $n\geq 12$ there is a Heisenberg group of order $p^{5n/4+O(1)}$ that has $p^{n^2/24+O(n)}$ pairwise nonisomorphic quotients of order $p^{n}$. Yet, these quotients are virtually indistinguishable.…

Answering a question of J. Rosenberg, we construct the first examples of infinite characters on $GL_n(\mathbf{K})$ for a global field $\mathbf{K}$ and $n\geq 2.$ The case $n=2$ is deduced from the following more general result. Let $G$ a…

We prove Malle's conjecture for nonic Heisenberg extensions over $\mathbb{Q}$. Our main algebraic result shows that the number of nonic Heisenberg extensions over $\mathbb{Q}$ with discriminant bounded by $X$ is given by a character sum. We…

This paper describes a family of Hecke algebras H_\mu=End_G(Ind_U^G(\psi_\mu)), where U is the subgroup of unipotent upper-triangular matrices of G=GL_n(F_q) and \psi_\mu is a linear character of U. The main results combinatorially index a…

Hecke algebras are beautiful q-extensions of Coxeter groups. In this paper, we prove several results on their characters, with an emphasis on characters induced from trivial and sign representations of parabolic subalgebras. While most of…
