There are many formulas that express interesting properties of a finite group G in terms of sums over its characters. For estimating these sums, one of the most salient quantities to understand is the character ratio trace(\pi(g)) /…

In this article, we identify a suitable approach to define the character space of a commutative unital locally $C^{\ast}$-algebra via the notion of the inductive limit of topological spaces. Also, we discuss topological properties of the…

In this paper, we begin to develop a theory of character sheaves on an affine algebraic group $G$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ using the approach developed by Boyarchenko and Drinfeld for unipotent…

We use the theory of cubic structures to give a fixed point Riemann-Roch formula for the equivariant Euler characteristics of coherent sheaves on projective flat schemes over Z with a tame action of a finite abelian group. This formula…

We compute the irreducible constitutents of the product of the Weil character and the Steinberg character in those finite classical groups for which a Weil character is defined, namely the symplectic, unitary and general linear groups. It…

We present a conjecture (and a proof for G=SL(2)) generalizing a result of J. Arthur which expresses a character value of a cuspidal representation of a $p$-adic group as a weighted orbital integral of its matrix coefficient. It also…

Let $U$ be a unipotent group which is graded in the sense that it has an extension $H$ by the multiplicative group of the complex numbers such that all the weights of the adjoint action on the Lie algebra of $U$ are strictly positive. We…

We study representation zeta functions of finitely generated, torsion-free nilpotent groups which are rational points of unipotent group schemes over rings of integers of number fields. Using the Kirillov orbit method and p-adic…

We find a recursive expression for the Bessel function of S. I. Gelfand for irreducible generic representations of $\operatorname{GL}_n\left(\mathbb{F}_q\right)$. We show that special values of the Bessel function can be realized as the…

Schur-Weyl duality is a fundamental framework in combinatorial representation theory. It intimately relates the irreducible representations of a group to the irreducible representations of its centralizer algebra. We investigate the analog…

The main result describes the Brauer-Nesbitt reduction of unipotent representations of a finite group of Lie type, expressing it as an explicit linear combination of the restriction of Weyl modules from the algebraic group to the group of…

We prove that regular supercuspidal representations of $p$-adic groups are uniquely determined by their character values on very regular elements -- a special class of regular semisimple elements on which character formulae are very simple…

We solve the problem of extension of characters of commutative subalgebras in associative (noncommutative) algebras for a class of subrings (Galois orders) in skew group rings. These results can be viewed as a noncommutative analogue of…

For the p-adic group G=SL (2) , we present results of the computations of the sums of the Bernstein projectors of a given depth. Motivation for the computations is based on a conversation with Roger Howe in August 2013. The computations are…

We study parabolic induction producing $\ell$-adic sheaves on a parahoric subgroup scheme in the loop group of a reductive group. Under a genericity assumption on the input data, we prove that it produces conjugation equivariant perverse…

In this paper, we extend the notion of Shintani descent to general (possibly disconnected) algebraic groups defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. For this, it is essential to treat all the pure inner $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational forms of…

For every finite quasisimple group of Lie type $G$, every irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, and every element $g$ of $G$, we give an exponential upper bound for the character ratio $|\chi(g)|/\chi(1)$ with exponent linear in $\log_{|G|}…

A known result for the finite general linear group $\GL(n,\FF_q)$ and for the finite unitary group $\U(n,\FF_{q^2})$ posits that the sum of the irreducible character degrees is equal to the number of symmetric matrices in the group. Fulman…

As shown by Bonnaf\'e, a step in proving a Jordan decomposition of characters of finite special linear groups is the parametrization of unipotent characters of centralizers of semi-simple elements in projective linear groups. We show the…

Let G be a symplectic or orthogonal complex Lie group with Lie algebra g. As a G-module, the decomposition of the symmetric algebra S(g) into its irreducible components can be explicitely obtained by using identities due to Littlewood. We…
