This article gives conceptual statements and proofs relating parabolic induction and Jacquet functors on split reductive groups over a non-Archimedean local field to the associated Iwahori-Hecke algebra as tensoring from and restricting to…

We provide a fundamental domain for the action of the finite Weyl group on a maximal torus of a compact Lie group of the corresponding type. The general situation is reduced to the adjoint case and, from the perspective of root data, this…

For quantum groups at a root of unity, there is a web of theorems (due to Bezrukavnikov and Ostrik, and relying on work of Lusztig) connecting the following topics: (i) tilting modules; (ii) vector bundles on nilpotent orbits; and (iii)…

Let w be an element of the Weyl group of a reductive group G defined and split over a finite field. We consider the variety of triples (g,B,B') where g is a unipotent element of G and B, B' are Borel subgroups of G such that B contains g…

This paper discusses a connection between insertion/deletion (ID) codes and minuscule elements of Weyl groups.

Let F be a p-adic field and n a positive integer. The local Langlands conjecture asserts the existence of a bijection between irreducible admissible representations of GL(n,F) and n-dimensional admissible representations of the Weil-Deligne…

A 1930s conjecture of Hopf states that an even-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with positive sectional curvature has positive Euler characteristic. We prove this conjecture under the additional assumption that the isometry group has…

We prove the conjecture that higher Verlinde categories are geometrically reductive. This is one of the two properties required in order for recent results on algebraic geometry in tensor categories to apply to these categories. We also…

We give an exposition of Deligne's theory of local $\epsilon_0$-factors over fields and discrete valuation rings under the assumption that the theory over the complex numbers is known. We then employ standard techniques from algebraic…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive subgroup of a complex connected reductive group $\hat{G}$. Fix maximal tori and Borel subgroups of $G$ and $\hat{G}$. Consider the cone $LR^\circ(\hat{G},G)$ generated by the pairs $(\nu,\hat{\nu})$ of…

Let $\pi_1,\pi_2$ be a pair of cuspidal complex, or $\ell$-adic, representations of the general linear group of rank $n$ over a non-archimedean local field $F$ of residual characteristic $p$, different to $\ell$. Whenever the local…

Let $G$ and $\tilde G$ be reductive groups over a local field $F$. Let $\eta : \tilde G \to G$ be a $F$-homomorphism with commutative kernel and commutative cokernel. We investigate the pullbacks of irreducible admissible…

We introduce a new method to establish McShane's Identity, based upon the fact that elliptic elements of order two in the Fuchsian group uniformizing the quotient of a fixed once-punctured hyperbolic torus act so as to exclude points as…

We show that any complex (respectively real) representation of finite group naturally generates a open-closed (respectively Klein) topological field theory over complex numbers. We relate the 1-point correlator for the projective plane in…

We obtain new bounds on short Weil sums over small multiplicative subgroups of prime finite fields which remain nontrivial in the range the classical Weil bound is already trivial. The method we use is a blend of techniques coming from…

We define and study odd and even analogues of the major index statistics for the classical Weyl groups. More precisely, we show that the generating functions of these statistics, twisted by the one-dimensional characters of the…

This note presents a procedure to determine the reduction of the irreducible and the induced characters of the symmetric group in terms of the irreducible and induced characters of the hyperoctahedral group Key Words: Symmetric Group,…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p \geq 3$. We classify $p$-divisible groups over regular local rings of the form $W(k)[[t_1,...,t_r,u]]/(u^e+pb_{e-1}u^{e-1}+...+pb_1u+pb_0)$, where $b_0,...,b_{e-1}\in W(k)[[t_1,...,t_r]]$ and…

In this paper, we settle an open conjecture regarding the assertion that the Euler-characteristic of $\rmG/\NT$ for a split reductive group scheme $\rmG$ and the normalizer of a split maximal torus $\NT$ over a field is $1$ in the…

We give criteria for R-equivalence of torsors under finite constant group schemes over a field. In paticular, using bitorsors, we obtain a Galois devissage result which formalises and generalises a theorem of Philippe Gille in the case of…
