Interchanging character and co-character groups of a torus $T$ over a field $k$ introduces a contravariant functor $T \rightarrow \widehat{T}$. Interpreting $\rho:T\rightarrow {\mathbb C}^\times$, half the sum of positive roots for $T$ a…

Let $G$ be a group acting on a field $L$, and suppose that $L /L^G$ is a finite extension. We show that the category of semilinear representations of $G$ over $L$ can be described in terms of the category of linear representations of $H$,…

Motivated by the problem of giving an explicit description of the basic locus in the reduction of Shimura varieties, G\"{o}rtz, He and Nie studied the cases where the basic affine Deligne-Lusztig variety, which serves as its group-theoretic…

This paper is a continuation of [GLT], which develops a level theory and establishes strong character bounds for finite simple groups of linear and unitary type in the case that the centralizer of the element has small order compared to…

We consider the set $\Irr(W)$ of (complex) irreducible characters of a finite Coxeter group $W$. The Kazhdan--Lusztig theory of cells gives rise to a partition of $\Irr(W)$ into "families" and to a natural partial order $\leq_{\cLR}$ on…

In this article we consider the connected component of the identity of $G$-character varieties of compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g > 0$, for connected complex reductive groups $G$ of type $A$ (e.g., $SL_n$ and $GL_n$). We show that…

This is an exposition of our joint work with Kakde, Silliman, and Wang, in which we prove a version of Ribet's Lemma for $\mathrm{GL}_2$ in the residually indistinguishable case. We suppose we are given a Galois representation taking values…

We calculate the E-polynomials of certain twisted GL(n,C)-character varieties M_n of Riemann surfaces by counting points over finite fields using the character table of the finite group of Lie-type GL(n,F_q) and a theorem proved in the…

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 present a conjecture generalizing the Cauchy formula for Macdonald polynomials. This conjecture encodes the mixed Hodge polynomials of the character varieties of representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface of genus g to…

In recent papers we have refined a conjecture of Lehrer and Solomon expressing the characters of a finite Coxeter group $W$ afforded by the homogeneous components of its Orlik-Solomon algebra as sums of characters induced from linear…

Glider representations can be defined for a finite algebra filtration FKG determined by a chain of subgroups 1 < G_1 < ... < G_d = G. In this paper we develop the generalized character theory for such glider representations. We give the…

This paper consists of three interconnected parts. Parts I,III study the relationship between the cohomology of a reductive group and that of a Levi subgroup. For example, we provide a necessary condition, arising from Kazhdan-Lusztig…

In this paper, we present a vertex operator approach to construct and compute all complex irreducible characters of the general linear group $\GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$. Green's theory of $\GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$ is recovered and enhanced under the…

We focus on derangement characters of $GL(n,q)$ which depend solely on the dimension of the space of fixed vectors. This family includes Thoma characters which become asymptotically irreducible as $n\to\infty$. We find explicit…

Consider a restriction of an irreducible finite dimensional holomorphic representation of $\GL(n+1,C)$ to the subgroup $GL(n,C)$ (it is determined by the Gelfand-Tsetlin branching rule). We write explicitly formulas for generators of the…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. We study the proportion of irreducible characters of infinite families of irreducible Coxeter groups whose values evaluated on a fixed element $g$ are divisible by $d$. For Coxeter groups of types $A_n, B_n$…

We study the semisimplification of the full karoubian subcategory generated by the irreducible finite dimensional representations of the algebraic supergroup $GL(m|n)$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. This…

We describe, in terms of generators and relations, the reduction algebra, related to the diagonal embedding of the Lie algebra $\gl_n$ into $\gl_n\oplus\gl_n$. Its representation theory is related to the theory of decompositions of tensor…

Given a finite group $G$, we study the monomial algebra $R_G$, generated by the monomial characters of $G$. In particular, we note that the integral closure of $R_G$ is contained in the algebra generated by those characters $\chi$ for which…
