In this paper we construct a new variant of the Weil representation, associated with a symplectic vector space V defined over a finite field of characteristic two. Our variant is a representation of a bigger group than that of Weil. In the…

The present note sketches a theory of constructs.

One of the driving motivations to develop $\F_1$-geometry is the hope to translate Weil's proof of the Riemann hypothesis from positive characteristics to number fields, which might result in a proof of the classical Riemann hypothesis. 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 raise the question of whether (a slightly generalized notion of) $qq$-characters can be constructed purely representation-theoretically. In the main example of the quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra, geometric engineering of…

In this paper we provide a full account of the Weil conjectures including Deligne's proof of the conjecture about the eigenvalues of the Frobenius endomorphism. Section 1 is an introduction into the subject. Our exposition heavily relies on…

In this paper we construct a geometric analogue of the Weil representation over a finite field. Our construction is principally invariant, not choosing any specific realization. This eliminates most of the unpleasant formulas that appear in…

Remarks in a paper by Jacques Tits from 1956 led to a philosophy how a theory of split reductive groups over $\F_1$, the so-called field with one element, should look like. Namely, every split reductive group over $\Z$ should descend to…

In this paper we give an axiomatization of differential geometry comparable to model categories for homotopy theory. Weil functors play a predominant role.

This is a preliminary version of the first chapter of a book project on the character theory of finite groups of Lie type. It provides the foundations from the general theory of reductive algebraic groups over a finite field.

This overview paper has two parts. In the first part, we review the development of $\mathbb F_1$-geometry from the first mentioning by Jacques Tits in 1956 until the present day. We explain the main ideas around $\mathbb F_1$, embedded into…

An alternative construction, using Witt's formalism, of the Arf-invariant of quadratic forms in characteristic 2.

In a paper by the authors, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type $A[D]=A\otimes F[D]$ were introduced, where $A$ is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field $F$ of any characteristic, and $F[D]$ is…

We study the Jacobian conjecture for Keller maps $f:X_0:=\mathbf{A}^n\rightarrow Y_0:=\mathbf{A}^n$ in characteristic $0$ and attempt to prove it. We are quite aware of the fact that many people have tried to prove the Jacobian conjecture…

It is well known(cf. Weil, G\'erardin's works) that there are two different Weil representations of a symplectic group over an odd finite field. By a twisted action, we show that one can reorganize them as a representation of a related…

We present fermionic quasi-particle sum representations for some of the characters (or branching functions) of ~${(G^{(1)})_1 \times (G^{(1)})_1 \o (G^{(1)})_2}$ ~for all simply-laced Lie algebras $G$. For given $G$ the characters are…

The short note here is to give a few heuristic arguments on the weird looking fractional Laplacian operator. This is certainly going to expand the vision of a reader who is looking to develope a taste for research in this direction.

This survey article is an introduction to some of Lusztig's work on the character theory of a finite group of Lie type $G(F_q)$, where $q$ is a power of a prime~$p$. It is partly based on two series of lectures given at the Centre Bernoulli…

We study the problem of constructing a linear sketch of minimum dimension that allows approximation of a given real-valued function $f \colon \mathbb{F}_2^n \rightarrow \mathbb R$ with small expected squared error. We develop a general…

This is the first one of a series of articles in which we develop the theory of Jacobi forms of lattice index, their close interplay with the arithmetic theory of lattices and the theory of Weil representations. We hope to publish this…
