We show the existence of and explicitly construct generic polynomials for various groups, over fields of positive characteristic. The methods we develop apply to a broad class of connected linear algebraic groups defined over finite fields…

Generalizing polynomials previously studied in the context of linear codes, we define weight polynomials and an enumerator for a matroid $M$. Our main result is that these polynomials are determined by Betti numbers associated with graded…

Starting from a generalized Reedy category $R$ satisfying a simple condition, we construct an absolutely dense functor $\mathbf{D}_R \to R$ with domain a strict Reedy category. In the case of a generalized inverse category $R$, and given…

A classification is provided of functors, in particular polynomial ones, from a category with a zero object in which every object is a finite sum of copies of a generating object, into an abelian category. This classification is extended to…

Let $k$ be a commutative $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra. We study families of functors between categories of finitely generated $R$-modules which are defined for all commutative $k$-algebras $R$ simultaneously and are compatible with base changes.…

The main purpose of this paper is to give a generalization of Dijkgraaf-Witten theory. Consider a morphism from a smash product of spectra E,F to another spectrum G. We construct a TQFT for E-oriented manifolds using a representative of an…

Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…

Let $G$ be the $F$-points of a connected reductive group over a non-archimedean local field $F$ of residue characteristic $p$ and $R$ be a commutative ring. Let $P=LU$ be a parabolic subgroup of $G$ and $Q$ be a parabolic subgroup of $G$…

We construct a functor from the category of oriented tangles in R^3 to the category of Hermitian modules and Lagrangian relations over Z[t,t^{-1}]. This functor extends the Burau representations of the braid groups and its generalization to…

We derive a generalized Rogers generating function and corresponding definite integral, for the continuous $q$-ultraspherical polynomials by applying its connection relation and utilizing orthogonality. Using a recent generalization of the…

In this article we define a generalization of Lusztig Lagrangian varieties in the case of arbitrary quivers, possibly carrying loops. As opposed to the Lagrangian varieties constructed by Lusztig, which consisted in nilpotent…

We introduce the notion of numerical functors to generalise Eilenberg & MacLane's polynomial functors to modules over a binomial base ring. After shewing how these functors are encoded by modules over a certain ring, we record a precise…

We develop a theory of two-parameter quantum polynomial functors. Similar to how (strict) polynomial functors give a new interpretation of polynomial representations of the general linear groups $\operatorname{GL}_n$, the two-parameter…

We describe some new general constructions of $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to certain arithmetically defined complex $L$-functions coming from motives over $\bold Q$ with coefficiens in a number field $T$, with $[T:\bold Q]<\infty$.…

Let w be a group-word. Suppose that the set of all w-values in a profinite group G is contained in a union of countably many cosets of subgroups. We are concerned with the question to what extent the structure of the verbal subgroup w(G)…

For generic binary forms $A_1,...,A_r$ of order $d$ we construct a class of combinants $C = \{\C_q: 0 \le q \le r, q \neq 1\}$, to be called the Wronskian combinants of the $A_i$. We show that the collection $C$ gives a projective imbedding…

In the first part of this series of papers we constructed dg analogues of the Zuckerman functors over commutative rings and the dual Zuckerman functors over the field of complex numbers. In this paper we construct their derived functors in…

Let G be a Lie group and Q a quiver with relations. In this paper, we define G-valued representations of Q which directly generalize G-valued representations of finitely generated groups. Although as G-spaces, the G-valued quiver…

We show that various flavors of Witt vectors are functorial with respect to multiplicative polynomial laws of finite degree. We then deduce that the $p$-typical Witt vectors are functorial in multiplicative polynomial maps of degree at most…

We generalize the Wiener-Hopf factorization of Laurent series to more general commutative coefficient rings, and we give explicit formulas for the decomposition. We emphasize the algebraic nature of this factorization.
