In this paper we study the Frobenius characters of the invariant subspaces of the tensor powers of a representation V. The main result is a formula for these characters for a polynomial functor of V involving the characters for V. The main…
We describe the support of $F$-finite $F$-modules over polynomial rings $R$ of prime characteristic. Our description yields an algorithm to compute the support of such modules; the complexity of our algorithm is also analyzed. To the best…
We initiate the investigation of the projective varieties $\mathbb E(r,\mathfrak g)$ of elementary subalgebras of dimension $r$ of a ($p$-restricted) Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ for various $r \geq 1$. These varieties $\mathbb E(r,\mathfrak…
The $G$-representation variety $R_G(\Sigma_g)$ parametrizes the representations of the fundamental groups of surfaces $\pi_1(\Sigma_g)$ into an algebraic group $G$. Taking $G$ to be the groups of $n \times n$ upper triangular or unipotent…
Let G be a semisimple connected linear algebraic group over C, and X a wonderful G-variety. We study the possibility of realizing X as a closed subvariety of the projective space of a simple G-module. We describe the wonderful varieties…
We introduce a notion of stable spherical variety which includes the spherical varieties under a reductive group $G$ and their flat equivariant degenerations. Given any projective space $\bP$ where $G$ acts linearly, we construct a moduli…
We find finite, reasonably small, generator sets of the coordinate rings of G-character varieties of finitely generated groups for all classical groups G. This result together with the method of Grobner basis gives an algorithm for…
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 $G$ be a connected reductive group over a totally real field $F$ which is compact modulo center at archimedean places. We find congruences modulo an arbitrary power of p between the space of arbitrary automorphic forms on $G(\mathbb…
We study representations of wreath product analogues of categories of finite sets. This includes the category of finite sets and injections (studied by Church, Ellenberg, and Farb) and the opposite of the category of finite sets and…
We introduce loop spaces (in the sense of derived algebraic geometry) into the representation theory of reductive groups. In particular, we apply the theory developed in our previous paper arXiv:1002.3636 to flag varieties, and obtain new…
Under suitable hypotheses, we prove that a form of a projective homogeneous variety $G/P$ defined over the function field of a surface over an algebraically closed field has a rational point. The method uses an algebro-geometric analogue of…
We give a concrete description of the category of G-equivariant vector bundles on certain affine G-varieties (where G is a reductive linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0) in terms of linear algebra…
Let X(F,G) be the G-character variety of F where G is a rank 1 complex affine algebraic group and F is a finitely presentable discrete group. We describe an algorithm, which we implement in Mathematica, SageMath, and in Python, that takes a…
We give sufficient conditions for a Frobenius category to be equivalent to the category of Gorenstein projective modules over an Iwanaga-Gorenstein ring. We then apply this result to the Frobenius category of special Cohen-Macaulay modules…
We establish a number of results which say, roughly, that interpretation functors preserve algebraic complexity. First we show that representation embeddings between categories of modules of finite-dimensional algebras induce embeddings of…
Let G be a subgroup of GL(V), where V is a finite dimensional vector space over a finite field of characteristic p >0. If det(g-1) = 0 for all g \in G then we call G a fixed-point subgroup of GL(V). Motivated in parallel by questions in…
To every finite-dimensional $\mathbb C$-algebra $\Lambda$ of finite representation type we associate an affine variety. These varieties are a large generalization of the varieties defined by "$u$ variables" satisfying "$u$-equations", first…
Let $k_0$ be a field of characteristic $0$ with algebraic closure $k$. Let $G$ be a connected reductive $k$-group, and let $Y$ be a spherical variety over $k$ (a spherical homogeneous space or a spherical embedding). Let $G_0$ be a…
In this talk, I report on three theorems concerning algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic $p>0$. a) over a finite field of cardinal $q$, two proper smooth varieties which are geometrically birational have the same number of…
