This paper is a significant contribution to a general programme aimed to classify all projective irreducible representations of finite simple groups over an algebraically closed field, in which the image of at least one element is…
In this paper we determine the irreducible projective representations of sporadic simple groups over an arbitrary algebraically closed field F, whose image contains an almost cyclic matrix of prime-power order. A matrix M is called cyclic…
A matrix is said to be {\it cyclic} if its characteristic polynomial is equal to its minimal polynomial. Cyclic matrices play an important role in some algorithms for matrix group computation, such as the Cyclic Meataxe developed by P. M.…
To a finite quadratic module, that is, a finite abelian group D together with a non-singular quadratic form Q:D --> Q/Z, it is possible to associate a representation of either the modular group, SL(2,Z), or its metaplectic cover, Mp(2,Z),…
A group G is almost cyclic if there is an element x in G, such that for all g in G, there is an element y in G and an integer n with ygy^{-1} = x^n (that is, every element is conjugate to some power of x). W. Ziller asked whether there are…
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…
We study the spectra of non-regular semisimple elements in irreducible representations of simple algebraic groups. More precisely, we prove that if G is a simply connected simple linear algebraic group and f is a non-trivial irreducible…
We construct via generators and relations, generalized Weil representations for analogues of classical $SL(2,k), k$ a field, over involutive base rings $(A, \ast).$ This family of groups covers different kinds of groups, classical and non…
The aim of this book is to show that the use of f-analytic families of finite type cycles (cycles having finitely many irreducible components, but not compact in general) in a given complex space may be useful in complex geometry, despite…
Given an abelian variety $A$ defined over a finite field $k$, we say that $A$ is "cyclic" if its group $A(k)$ of rational points is cyclic. In this paper we give a bijection between cyclic abelian varieties of an ordinary isogeny class…
A {\em cyclic graph} is a graph with at each vertex a cyclic order of the edges incident with it specified. We characterize which real-valued functions on the collection of cubic cyclic graphs are partition functions of a real vertex model…
As is well known, any complex cyclic matrix $A$ is similar to the unique companion matrix associated with the minimal polynomial of $A$. On the other hand, a cyclic matrix over a division ring $\mathbb F$ is similar to a companion matrix of…
This paper defines and develops cycle indices for the finite classical groups. These tools are then applied to study properties of a random matrix chosen uniformly from one of these groups. Properties studied by this technique will include…
We study the representation theory of the infinite type A Hecke algebra over a non-archimedean field in the case where the parameter is a pseudo-uniformizer. Specifically, we consider a family of representations, called almost-symmetric,…
We introduce and begin to study Lie theoretical analogs of symplectic reflection algebras for a finite cyclic group, which we call "cyclic double affine Lie algebra". We focus on type A : in the finite (resp. affine, double affine) case, we…
The classical construction of the Weil representation, with complex coefficients, has long been expected to work for more general coefficient rings. This paper exhibits the minimal ring $\mathcal{A}$ for which this is possible, the integral…
Leibniz algebras generated by one element, called cyclic, provide simple and illuminating examples of many basic concepts. It is the purpose of this paper to illustrate this fact.
We study the irreducible representations of simple algebraic groups in which some non-central semisimple element has at most one eigenvalue of multiplicity greater than 1. We bound the multiplicity of this eigenvalue in terms of the rank of…
Given a smooth projective variety $X$ over a field, consider the $\mathbb Q$-vector space $Z_0(X)$ of 0-cycles (i.e. formal finite $\mathbb Q$-linear combinations of the closed points of $X$) as a module over the algebra of finite…
A theory of cyclic elements in semisimple Lie algebras is developed. It is applied to an explicit construction of regular elements in Weyl groups.
