These lectures given in Montreal in Summer 1997 are mainly based on, and form a condensed survey of, the book by N. Chriss and V. Ginzburg: `Representation Theory and Complex Geometry', Birkhauser 1997. Various algebras arising naturally in…

Let W be the Weyl group of a crystallographic root system acting on the associated weight lattice by reflections. In the present notes we extend the notion of an exponent of the W-action introduced in [Baek-Neher-Zainoulline,…

Young diagrams are ubiquitous in combinatorics and representation theory. Here we explain these diagrams, focusing on how they are used to classify representations of the symmetric groups $S_n$ and various "classical groups": famous groups…

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional algebraic representation over an algebraically closed field $K$ of a group $G$. For $m > 0$, we study the invariant rings $K[V^{ m}]^G$ for the diagonal action of $G$ on $V^m$. In characteristic zero, a theorem…

The Lie algebra $\mathcal{D}$ of regular differential operators on the circle has a universal central extension $\hat{\mathcal{D}}$. The invariant subalgebra $\hat{\mathcal{D}}^+$ under an involution preserving the principal gradation was…

Let g be a semisimple Lie algebra over the real numbers. We describe an explicit combinatorial construction of the real Weyl group of g with respect to a given Cartan subalgebra. An efficient computation of this Weyl group is important for…

We define a map from the set of conjugacy classes of a Weyl group W to the representation ring of W tensored with the ring of polynomials in one variable.

We construct Hopf algebras whose elements are representations of combinatorial automorphism groups, by generalising a theorem of Zelevinsky on Hopf algebras of representations of wreath products. As an application we attach symmetric…

Classical invariant theory establishes a systematic correspondence between algebraic and smooth invariants for compact and reductive Lie groups. However, the extension of these results to non-compact and non-reductive regimes remains a…

In this paper, we give a new approach for the study of Weyl-type theorems. Precisely we introduce the concepts of spectral valued and spectral partitioning functions. Using two natural order relations on the set of spectral valued…

We initiate the systematic study of modular representations of symmetric groups that arise via the braiding in (symmetric) tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We determine what representations appear for certain…

The fundamental group of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement in a complex vector space is an important topological invariant. The third rank of successive quotients in the lower central series of the fundamental group was called Falk…

In math.RT/0302174 we developed a framework to study representations of groups of the form $G((t))$, where $G$ is an algebraic group over a local field $K$. The main feature of this theory is that natural representations of groups of this…

This thesis proposes a combinatorial generalization of a nilpotent operator on a vector space. The resulting object is highly natural, with basic connections to a variety of fields in pure mathematics, engineering, and the sciences. For the…

Motivated by representation theory and geometry, we introduce and develop an equivariant generalization of Ehrhart theory, the study of lattice points in dilations of lattice polytopes. We prove representation-theoretic analogues of…

In this work, we establish a representation theorem for multivariable totally symmetric functions: a multisymmetric continuous function must be the composition of a continuous function and a set of generators of the multisymmetric…

The theory of generalized Weyl algebras is used to study the $2\times 2$ reflection equation algebra $\mathcal{A}=\mathcal{A}_q(\operatorname{M}_2)$ in the case that $q$ is not a root of unity, where the $R$-matrix used to define…

In "Meromorphic Functions and Analytic Curves", H. and F. J. Weyl identified an intriguing connection between holomorphic curves and their associated curves, which they referred to as the "peculiar relation". In this paper, we present a…

For more than hundred years, various concepts were developed to understand the fields of geometric objects and invariant differential operators between them for conformal Riemannian and projective geometries. More recently, several general…
