Let $\Sigma_{g,n}$ be a compact oriented surface with genus $g\geq 2$ bordered by $n$ circles. Due to Witten, the twisted Reidemeister torsion coincides with a power of the Atiyah-Bott-Goldman-Narasimhan symplectic form on the space of…

Recently Delorme and Opdam have generalized the theory of R-groups towards affine Hecke algebras with unequal labels. We apply their results in the case where the affine Hecke algebra is of type B, for an induced discrete series…

Let $\left( W,\sigma \right) $ be a symplectic vector space and let $% T:W\rightarrow W$ be a linear map that satisfies a certain condition of non-degeneracy. We define the Schur multiplier $\omega _{\sigma ,T}$ on $W$. To this multiplier…

In this paper, we present a simple combinatorial proof of a Weyl type formula for hook Schur polynomials, which has been obtained by using a Kostant type cohomology formula for $\frak{gl}_{m|n}$. In general, we can obtain in a combinatorial…

We construct a representation of the string 2-group on a 2-vector space, aiming to establish it as the categorification of the spinor representation. Our model for 2-vector spaces is based on the Morita bicategory of von Neumann algebras,…

The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…

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 use vertex operators to compute irreducible characters of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type $A$. Two general formulas are given for the irreducible characters in terms of those of the symmetric groups or the Iwahori-Hecke algebras in…

For an arbitrary split adjoint group we identify the unramified Whittaker space with the space of skew-invariant functions on the lattice of coweights and deduce from it the Casselman-Shalika formula.

A fundamental problem from invariant theory is to describe the endomorphism algebra of multilinear functions on a representation V invariant under the action of a group G. According to Weyl's classic, a first main (later: fundamental)…

We use the theory of skew duality to show that decomposing the tensor product of $k$ irreducible representations of the symplectic group $Sp_{2m} = Sp_{2m}(C)$ is equivalent to branching from $Sp_{2n}$ to $Sp_{2n_1}\times\cdots\times…

We study the automorphic theta representation $\Theta_{2n}^{(r)}$ on the $r$-fold cover of the symplectic group $Sp_{2n}$. This representation is obtained from the residues of Eisenstein series on this group. If $r$ is odd, $n\le r <2n$,…
