We establish an $S$-duality converse to the one studied by the 1st, 2nd and 4th authors; this is also a case of a twisted version of the relative Langlands duality of Ben Zvi, Sakellaridis and Venkatesh.. Namely, we prove that the $S$-dual…

In this note, we give a formula for the Whittaker-Shintani functions for the p-adic symplectic groups, which is a generalization of the Zonal spherical functions and Whittaker functions. We then use the formula to give an alternative proof…

In [Ar13], Arthur classifies the automorphic discrete spectrum of symplectic groups up to global Arthur packets, based on the theory of endoscopy. It is an interesting and basic question to ask: which global Arthur packets contain no…

Let $G$ be a classical group $\GL(n)$, $\oU(n)$, $\oO(n)$ or $\Sp(2n)$, over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero. Let $\pi$ be an irreducible admissible smooth representation of $G$. It is well known that the contragredient…

We describe the construction and properties of a singular theta lift for the orthogonal group $\SO(2,1)$. We obtain locally harmonic Maass forms in the sense of Bringmann-Kane-Kohnen with singular sets along geodesics in the upper half…

In this paper, we prove the conjectural endoscopic character identities for tempered representations of metaplectic group $Mp_{2n}$ based on the formalism of endoscopy theory by J. Adams, D. Renard and W.W. Li.

In a previous work, the second-named author gave a complete description of the action of automorphisms on the ordinary irreducible characters of the finite symplectic groups. We generalise this in two directions. Firstly, using work of the…

We study model transition for representations occurring in the local theta correspondence between split even special orthogonal groups and symplectic groups, over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero.

We show there is a class of symplectic Lie algebra representations over any field of characteristic not 2 or 3 that have many of the exceptional algebraic and geometric properties of both symmetric three forms in two dimensions and…

We study presentations, defined by Sidki, resulting in groups $y(m,n)$ that are conjectured to be finite orthogonal groups of dimension $m+1$ in characteristic two. This conjecture, if true, shows an interesting pattern, possibly connected…

We use techniques from statistical mechanics to provide new formulas for Whittaker coefficients of metaplectic Eisenstein series on odd orthogonal groups, matching Friedberg and Zhang. We study a particular variation/generalization of the…

In this article, we derive and discuss the properties of the symplectic group Sp(2), which arises in Hamiltonian dynamics and ray optics. We show that a symplectic matrix can be written as the product of a symmetric dilation matrix and a…

We classify the connected Lie subgroups of the symplectic group $Sp(2,\mathbb{R})$ whose elements are matrices in block lower triangular form. The classification is up to conjugation within $Sp(2,\mathbb{R})$. Their study is motivated by…

The symplectic group branching algebra, B, is a graded algebra whose components encode the multiplicities of irreducible representations of Sp(2n-2,C) in each irreducible representation of Sp(2n,C). By describing on B an ASL structure, we…

A real representation $\pi$ of a finite group may be regarded as a homomorphism to an orthogonal group $\Or(V)$. For symmetric groups $S_n$, alternating groups $A_n$, and products $S_n \times S_{n'}$ of symmetric groups, we give criteria…

We look at the automorphisms of Thompson type groups of piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the real line or circle that use slopes that are integral powers of a fixed integer n with n>2. We show that large numbers of "exotic" automorphisms…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power, and $G=\text{Sp}(2n,q)$ the finite symplectic group. We give an expression for the total Stiefel-Whitney Classes (SWCs) for orthogonal representations $\pi$ of $G$, in terms of character values of $\pi$ at…

We show that in characteristic 2, the Steinberg representation of the symplectic group Sp(2n,q), q a power of an odd prime p, has two irreducible constituents lying just above the socle that are isomorphic to the two Weil modules of degree…

We provide a new branching rule from the general linear group $GL_{2n}(\mathbb{C})$ to the symplectic group $Sp_{2n}(\mathbb{C})$ by establishing a simple algorithm which gives rise to a bijection from the set of semistandard tableaux of a…

Given F a locally compact, non-discrete, non-archimedean field of characteristic different from 2 and R an integral domain such that a non-trivial smooth F-character with values in the multiplicative group of R exists, we construct the…
