For given linear action of a finite group on a lattice and a positive integer q, we prove that the mod q permutation representation is a quasi-polynomial in q. Additionally, we establish several results that can be considered as mod…

We construct representations $\hat\pi_{\br}$ of the quantum algebra $U_q(sl(n))$ labelled by $n-1$ complex numbers $r_i$ and acting in the space of formal power series of $n(n-1)/2$ non-commuting variables. These variables generate a flag…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we explore the factorization of $f(x^{n})$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $f(x)$ is an irreducible polynomial…

Noncompact forms of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum groups U_q(g) with (H_i)* = H_i, (X_i^{+-})* = s_i X_i^{-+} for s_i= +-1 are studied at roots of unity. This covers g = so(n,2p), su(n,p), so*(2l), sp(n,p), sp(l,R), and exceptional cases.…

Given a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a maximal quasitoral subalgebra $\mathfrak{h}$, we consider properties of restrictions of $\mathfrak{g}$-modules to $\mathfrak{h}$. This is a natural generalization of the study of characters in…

Let $G = {\rm U}(2m, {\mathbb F}_{q^2})$ be the finite unitary group, with $q$ the power of an odd prime $p$. We prove that the number of irreducible complex characters of $G$ with degree not divisible by $p$ and with Frobenius-Schur…

The goal of these notes is to give a self-contained account of the representation theory of $GL_2$ and $SL_2$ over a finite field, and to give some indication of how the theory works for $GL_n$ over a finite field.

Let $\mathcal{A}(q)$ be a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with $q$ elements, and let $G(q) = 1+\mathcal{A}(q)$. On the other hand, let $\Bbbk$ denote the algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, and…

The aim of this paper is to announce the results on irreducible nonclassical type representations of the nonstandard q-deformations U'_q(so_n), U_q(iso_n) and U'_q(so_{n,1}) of the universal enveloping algebras of the Lie algebras so(n,C),…

It is shown that the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum matrix algebra $ M_q(n) $ ( the coordinate ring of $ GL_q(n) $ ) exist only when q is a root of unity ( $ q^p = 1 $ ). The dimensions of these…

This paper is concerned with absolutely irreducible quasisimple subgroups $G$ of a finite general linear group $GL_d(\mathbb{F}_q)$ for which some element $g\in G$ of prime order $r$, in its action on the natural module…

Infinite dimensional representations of the real form U_q(u_{n,1}) of the Drinfeld--Jimbo algebra U_q(gl_{n+1}) are defined. The principal series of representations of U_q(u_{n,1}) is studied. Intertwining operators for pairs of the…

Connections between longest increasing subsequences in random permutations and eigenvalues of random matrices with complex entries have been intensely studied. This note applies properties of random elements of the finite general linear…

As a homomorphic image of the hyperalgebra $U_{q,R}(m|n)$ associated with the quantum linear supergroup $U_\upsilon(\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n})$, we first give a presentation for the $q$-Schur superalgebra $S_{q,R}(m|n,r)$ over a commutative ring…

Let $N$ be a simply connected, connected non-commutative nilpotent Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{n}$ of dimension $n.$ Let $H$ be a subgroup of the automorphism group of $N.$ Assume that $H$ is a commutative, simply connected,…

Improving on an earlier proposal, we construct the gauge theories of the quantum groups $U_q(N)$. We find that these theories are consistent also with an ordinary (commuting) spacetime. The bicovariance conditions of the quantum…

The two parameter quantum deformation of 2x2 Grassmann matrices, Gr(2), and supermatrices, Gr$(1| 1)$, are presented. Gr(2) whose matrix elements are all Grassmannian variables is called the superdual of the genel linear group GL(2), and…

Quantum superalgebras $su_{q}(m\mid n)$ are studied in the framework of $R$-matrix formalism. Explicit parametrization of $L^{(+)}$ and $L^{(-)}$ matrices in terms of $su_{q}(m\mid n)$ generators are presented. We also show that quantum…
