The paper relates character value of an irreducible representation of a compact connected Lie group at certain elements of finite order with the dimension of a representation on another group, up to some precise constants, which all have…
We give another proof of a theorem of D. Prasad (Theorem 2, \textit{Israel J. Math.} 2016), which is also a classical result of Littlewood--Richardson (Theorem VI, \textit{Q. J. Math.} 1934). For integers $m,n \ge 2$, this result calculates…
Let $G$ be a finite group. We study the generalized character defined by $\Xi(g)=|G|o(g)$, for $g\in G$, which is closely related to a function that has been very studied recently from a group theoretical point of view.
The generalized Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the general linear superalgebra are computed explicitly. Using the result we establish a one to one correspondence between the set of…
In this paper we show how a theorem of Jantzen relating the character of a finite dimensional irreducible representation of a disconnected semisimple algebraic group on elements outside the connected component of identity to character of an…
The problem of computing the characters of the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$ over $\C$ was solved a few years ago by V. Serganova. In this article, we present an entirely…
Recently, a strong exponential character bound has been established in [3] for all elements $g \in \mathbf{G}^F$ of a finite reductive group $\mathbf{G}^F$ which satisfy the condition that the centraliser $C_{\mathbf{G}}(g)$ is contained in…
This paper provides a complete classification of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R})$-distinguished irreducible representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ when the representations are either generic or unitary. Additionally, for each such…
We relate a generic character sheaf on a disconnected reductive group with a character of a representation of the rational points of the group over a finite field extending a result known in the connected case.
Let $G$ be a simple complex Lie group with Weyl group $W$. We give a formula for the character of $W$ on the zero weight space of any finite dimensional representation of $G$. The formula involves partition functions, generalizing Kostant's…
We introduce a new invariant, the conductor exponent, of a generic irreducible Casselman-Wallach representation of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ that quantifies the extent to which this representation may be ramified. We also determine a distinguished…
A characterization of the general linear equation in standard form admitting a maximal symmetry algebra is obtained in terms of a simple set of conditions relating the coefficients of the equation. As a consequence, it is shown that in its…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and $G$ a real form of $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})$. We propose a definition for the $G$-character variety of $\Gamma$ as a subset of the $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})$-character variety of $\Gamma$.…
In this paper we prove a character formula expressing the classes of simple representations in the principal block of a simply-connected semisimple algebraic group G in terms of baby Verma modules, under the assumption that the…
A $GL_d$-pseudocharacter is a function from a group $\Gamma$ to a ring $k$ satisfying polynomial relations which make it "look like" the character of a representation. When $k$ is an algebraically closed field, Taylor proved that…
We consider the generalized character $\Psi_{1,p,G}$ of a finite group $G$ which vanishes on all $p$-singular elements of $G$ and whose value at each $p$-regular $y \in G$ is the number of $p$-elements of $C_{G}(y)$. We conjecture that this…
Let G be a finite simple group of Lie type. In this paper we study characters of G that vanish at the non-semisimple elements and whose degree is equal to the order of a maximal unipotent subgroup of G. Such characters can be viewed as a…
The Kronecker coefficients are the structure constants for the restriction of irreducible representations of the general linear group $GL(n m)$ into irreducibles for the subgroup $GL(n)\times GL(m)$. In this work we study the…
A $\mathbf{GL}$-variety is a (typically infinite dimensional) variety modeled on the polynomial representation theory of the general linear group. In previous work, we studied these varieties in characteristic 0. In this paper, we obtain…
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…
