Let G be a reductive algebraic group with a Borel subgroup B. We define the quasi-coherent Hecke category for the pair (G,B). For any regular Noetherian G-scheme X we construct a monoidal action of the Hecke category on the derived category…

We consider descent data in cosimplicial crossed groupoids. This is a combinatorial abstraction of the descent data for gerbes in algebraic geometry. The main result is this: a weak equivalence between cosimplicial crossed groupoids induces…

The concept of descent algebras over a field of characteristic zero is extended to define descent algebras over a field of prime characteristic. Some basic algebraic structure of the latter, including its radical and irreducible modules, is…

We develop a theory of descent and forms of tensor categories over arbitrary fields. We describe the general scheme of classification of such forms using algebraic and homotopical language, and give examples of explicit classification of…

The paper establishes, for a wide class of locally compact groupoids $\Gamma$, the E-theoretic descent functor at the $C^{*}$-algebra level, in a way parallel to that established for locally compact groups by Guentner, Higson and Trout. The…

We establish simple combinatorial descriptions of the radical and irreducible representations specifically for the descent algebra of a Coxeter group of type $D$ over any field.

We consider the support varieties of Demazure modules, certain $B$-modules important in the representation theory of reductive groups. In many cases we are able to compute these support varieties over $B_1$, the first Frobenius kernel of a…

We prove descent theorems for semiorthogonal decompositions using techniques from derived algebraic geometry. Our methods allow us to capture more general filtrations of derived categories and even marked filtrations, where one descends not…

Steinberg's tensor product theorem shows that for semisimple algebraic groups the study of irreducible representations of higher Frobenius kernels reduces to the study of irreducible representations of the first Frobenius kernel. In the…

Consider the functor describing deformations of a representation of the fundamental group of a variety X. This paper is chiefly concerned with establishing an analogue in finite characteristic of a result proved by Goldman and Millson for…

We classify the representation type of the descent algebras of type $\A$ in the positive characteristic case. The algebras have finite representation type only for a few small degrees; otherwise, they are wild. Our main reduction method…

We give a direct combinatorial proof that the product of two descent classes in a symmetric group is a sum of descent classes. The proof is based on the fact that the group product gives a covering map when descent classes are endowed with…

In this article, we classify disconnected reductive groups over an algebraically closed field with a few caveats. Internal parts of our result are both a classification of finite groups and a classification of integral representations of a…

In this article we define a special class of weak expectations for a representation of a separable unital C*-algebra, called decomposable weak expectation. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for such kind of weak expectations to…

Given a slightly degenerate fusion category $\mathcal{C}$, we explain how it naturally gives rise to a Z-modular data. We do not restrict to spherical categories and work with pivotal categories instead. Finally, we give an interpretation…

We classify indecomposable summands of mixed tensor powers of the natural representation for the general linear supergroup up to isomorphism. We also give a formula for the characters of these summands in terms of composite supersymmetric…

We study three fundamental topics in the representation theory of disconnected algebraic groups whose identity component is reductive: (i) the classification of irreducible representations; (ii) the existence and properties of Weyl and dual…

For $G$ a complex reductive group and $B \subseteq G$ a Borel subgroup, we provide a reduction rule for certain weight multiplicities in Demazure modules $V_\lambda^w$: given a weight $\mu$ on a face of the associated weight polytope…

The notion of computable reducibility between equivalence relations on the natural numbers provides a natural computable analogue of Borel reducibility. We investigate the computable reducibility hierarchy, comparing and contrasting it with…

In this paper, the 2-category $\mathfrak{Rep}_{{\bf 2Mat}_{\mathbb{C}}}(\mathbb{G})$ of (weak) representations of an arbitrary (weak) 2-group $\mathbb{G}$ on (some version of) Kapranov and Voevodsky's 2-category of (complex) 2-vector spaces…
