Let $\chi$ be an irreducible character of a group $G.$ We denote the sum of the codegrees of the irreducible characters of $G$ by $S_c(G)=\sum_{\chi\in {\rm Irr}(G)}{\rm cod}(\chi).$ We consider the question if $S_c(G)\leq S_c(C_n)$ is true…

The Kronecker coefficients and the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients are nonnegative integers depending on three partitions. By definition, these coefficients are the multiplicities of the tensor product decomposition of two irreducible…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra. We give a description of characters of irreducible Whittaker modules for $\mathfrak{g}$ with any infinitesimal character, along with a Kazhdan-Lusztig algorithm for computing them.…

The Kronecker coefficients are the structural constants for the tensor categories of representations of the symmetric groups; namely, given three partitions $\lambda, \mu, \tau$ of $n$, the multiplicity of $\lambda$ in $\mu \otimes \tau$ is…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over the complex numbers and let $T\subset G$ be a maximal torus. For any $t\in T$ of finite order and any irreducible representation $V(\lambda)$ of $G$ of highest weight $\lambda$, we determine the…

We classify the finite groups with the property that any two different character codegrees are coprime. In general, we conjecture that if $k$ is a positive integer such that for any prime $p$ the number of character codegrees of a finite…

This is an exposition of our joint work with Kakde, Silliman, and Wang, in which we prove a version of Ribet's Lemma for $\mathrm{GL}_2$ in the residually indistinguishable case. We suppose we are given a Galois representation taking values…

Kostka, Littlewood-Richardson, Plethysm and Kronecker coefficients are the multiplicities of irreducible representations in the decomposition of representations of the symmetric group that play an important role in representation theory,…

We give new bounds and asymptotic estimates for Kronecker and Littlewood--Richardson coefficients. Notably, we resolve Stanley's questions on the shape of partitions attaining the largest Kronecker and Littlewood--Richardson coefficients.…

We give an elementary proof of a well-known result on Kostka numbers, following a question from Mark Wildon on MathOverflow. Namely, we show that given partitions $\lambda,\mu,\nu$ of $n$ with $\mu\trianglerighteq\nu$, we have…

Let $p$ be a prime, and let $F$ be a CM field containing an imaginary quadratic field in which $p$ splits. We show that the locally analytic vectors of Hecke eigenspaces in the ($p$-adic) completed cohomology of $\mathrm{GL}_n/F$, localized…

A Kronecker coefficient is the multiplicity of an irreducible representation of a finite group $G$ in a tensor product of irreducible representations. We define Kronecker Hecke algebras and use them as a tool to study Kronecker coefficients…

This paper concerns character sheaves of connected reductive algebraic groups defined over non-Archimedean local fields and their relation with characters of smooth representations. Although character sheaves were devised with characters of…

Let k be any field. J-P. Serre proved that the spectrum of the Grothendieck ring of the k-representation category of a group is connected, and that the same holds in characteristic zero for the representation category of a Lie algebra over…

For any reduced curve $C\subset \mathbb P^2$, we define the notions of the number of its virtual cusps $c_v$ and the number of its virtual nodes $n_v$ which are non-negative, coincide respectively with the numbers of ordinary cusps and…

Let $\lambda$ be a self-dual Hecke character over a CM field $K$. Let $\mathfrak{p}$ be a degree one prime of the maximal totally real subfield $F$ of $K$ and $\Gamma_{\mathfrak{p}}$ the Galois group of the anticyclotomic…

If $[\lambda(j)]$ is a multipartition of the positive integer $n$ (a sequence of partitions with total size $n$), and $\mu$ is a partition of $n$, we study the number $K_{[\lambda(j)]\mu}$ of sequences of semistandard Young tableaux of…

We construct a natural bijection between odd-degree irreducible characters of S_n and linear characters of its Sylow 2-subgroup P_n. When n is a power of 2, we show that such a bijection is nicely induced by the restriction functor. We…

We develop a theory of levels for irreducible representations of symmetric groups of degree $n$ analogous to the theory of levels for finite classical groups. A key property of level is that the level of a character, provided it is not too…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from $2$. We provide a positive solution to the Bahturin--Regev conjecture in the general finite-dimensional (non-graded) setting, assuming that $\operatorname{char}(K)$…
