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|}…

In the first chapters, this paper contains a survey on the theory of ordinary characters of finite reductive groups with non-connected centre. The last chapters are devoted to the proof of Lusztig's conjecture on characteristic functions of…

We obtain density theorems for cuspidal automorphic representations of $\text{GL}_n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ which fail the generalized Ramanujan conjecture at some place. We depart from previous approaches based on Kuznetsov-type trace formulae,…

Block character of a finite symmetric group S(n) is a positive definite function which depends only on the number of cycles in permutation. We describe the cone of block characters by identifying its extreme rays, and find relations of the…

We explicitly compute the McKay quivers of small finite subgroups of $GL(2,\mathbb{C})$ relative to the natural representation, using character theory and the McKay quivers of finite subgroups of $SU(2)$. We present examples that shows the…

Using a general result of Lusztig, we find the decomposition into irreducibles of certain induced characters of the projective general linear group over a finite field of odd characteristic.

In this paper, we consider some generalized commutator equations in a finite group and show that the number of solutions of such equations are characters of that group. We also obtain explicit formula for this character, considering the…

Let V be a symplectic vector space over a finite or local field. We compute the character of the Weil representation of the metaplectic group Mp(V). The final formulas are overtly free of choices (e.g. they do not involve the usual choice…

We develop representation theory of general linear groups in the category $\text{Ver}_4^+$, the simplest tensor category which is not Frobenius exact. Since $\text{Ver}_4^+$ is a reduction of the category of supervector spaces to…

For a finite group $G$, we denote by $c(G)$, the minimal degree of faithful representation of $G$ by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field $\mathbb{C}$. For an irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, the codegree of $\chi$ is…

We prove the analog of Kostant's Theorem on Lie algebra cohomology in the context of quantum groups. We prove that Kostant's cohomology formula holds for quantum groups at a generic parameter $q$, recovering an earlier result of Malikov in…

In [APS], the authors characterize the partitions of $n$ whose corresponding representations of $S_n$ have nontrivial determinant. The present paper extends this work to all irreducible finite Coxeter groups $W$. Namely, given a nontrivial…

We show that the bivariant Chern character in entire cyclic cohomology constructed in a previous paper in terms of superconnections and heat kernel regularization, retracts on periodic cocycles under some finite summability conditions. The…

This paper presents abstract harmonic analysis foundations for structure of covariant function algebras of invariant characters of normal subgroups. Suppose that $G$ is a locally compact group and $N$ is a closed normal subgroup of $G$. Let…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $k$ be a sufficiently large finite field. Let $R(G)$ denote the character ring of $G$ (i.e. the Grothendieck ring of the category of ${\mathbb{C}}G$-modules). We study the structure and the representations…

Let $F$ be a non archimedean local field of characteristic zero, we give a classification of generic representations of $GL(n,F)$ distinguished by a maximal Levi subgroup, in terms of inducing discrete series.

In this paper, we obtain a characterization of GVZ-groups in terms of commutators and monolithic quotients. This characterization is based on counting formulas due to Gallagher.

We study the arithmetic of degree $N-1$ Eisenstein cohomology classes for locally symmetric spaces associated to $\mathrm{GL}_N$ over an imaginary quadratic field $k$. Under natural conditions we evaluate these classes on $(N-1)$-cycles…

In this paper we study characters on special linear groups SL_n(R), where R is either an infinite field or the localization of an order in a number field. We give several applications to the theory of measure preserving actions,…

Let us consider the group $G = < x,y \mid x^m = y^n>$ with $m$ and $n$ nonzero integers. In this paper, we study the variety of epresentations $R(G)$ and the character variety $X(G)$ in $SL(2,\C)$ of the group $G$,obtaining by elementary…
