For any ordinary irreducible character of a maximal reflection subgroup of type $D_aD_b$ of a type $D$ Weyl group we give an explicit decomposition of the induced character in terms of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients.

We give a short proof of a strong form of Weyl's law for $\text{SO}(N)$ using well known facts of the theory of modular forms. The exponent of the error term is sharp when the rank is at least~$4$. We also discuss the cases with smaller…

This note continues paper of Denisov and Wachtel (2010), where we have constructed a $k$-dimensional random walk conditioned to stay in the Weyl chamber of type $A$. The construction was done under the assumption that the original random…

Let W be a Weyl group. In my 1984 book a group was attached to any special representation of W using the theory of Springer representations. In this paper we give a new definition of this group which is purely algebraic (no use of geometry…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and $\ast$ be an automorphism of $W$ with order $\leq 2$ such that $s^{\ast}\in S$ for any $s\in S$. Let $I_{\ast}$ be the set of twisted involutions relative to $\ast$ in $W$. In this paper we consider the…

Motivated by a question and some enumerative conjectures of Richard Stanley, we explore the equivalence classes of words in the Weyl algebra, $\mathbf{k} \left< D,U \mid DU - UD = 1 \right>$. We show that each class is generated by the…

We consider the group algebra over the field of complex numbers of the Weyl group of type B (the hyperoctahedral group, or the group of signed permutations) and of the Weyl group of type D (the demihyperoctahedral group, or the group of…

The aim of this paper is to establish a pseudo-differential Weyl calculus on graded nilpotent Lie groups $G$ which extends the celebrated Weyl calculus on $\mathbb{R}^n$. To reach this goal, we develop a symbolic calculus for a very general…

We study an apparently new question about the behaviour of Weyl sums on a subset $\mathcal{X}\subseteq [0,1)^d$ with a natural measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{X}$. For certain measure spaces $(\mathcal{X}, \mu)$ we obtain non-trivial bounds for…

This paper is concerned with the Weyl composition of symbols in large dimension. We specify a class of symbols in order to estimate the Weyl symbol of the product of two Weyl $h-$pseudodifferential operators, with constants independent of…

We classify (*)-subgroups of compact Lie groups of adjoint type, and associate a twisted root system to every (*)-subgroup. We study the structure of twisted root system in several aspects: properties of the small Weyl group W_{small} and…

Let Phi be a reduced root system of rank r. A Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series for Phi is a Dirichlet series in r complex variables s_1,...,s_r, initially converging for Re(s_i) sufficiently large, that has meromorphic continuation to…

We study the girth of Cayley graphs of finite classical groups G on random sets of generators. Our main tool is an essentially best possible bound we obtain on the probability that a given word w takes the value 1 when evaluated in G in…

An atomic monoid $M$ is called length-factorial if for every non-invertible element $x \in M$, no two distinct factorizations of $x$ into irreducibles have the same length (i.e., number of irreducible factors, counting repetitions). The…

In this paper and its sequel \cite{DPP}, we investigate the precise relationship between the quadratic affine Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series in the sense of \cite{CG1, BD}, and those defined axiomatically by Whitehead \cite{White2}…

We introduce a notion of a length function exponentially distorted on a (compactly generated) subgroup of a locally compact group. We prove that for a connected linear complex Lie group there is a maximum equivalence class of length…

We consider the finite Weyl groups of classical type -- $W(A_{r})$ for $r \geq 1$, $W(B_{r}) = W(C_{r})$ for $r \geq 2$, and $W(D_{r})$ for $r \geq 4$ -- as supergroups in which the reflections are of odd superdegree. Viewing the…

We calculate the Weyl group invariants with respect to a maximal torus of the exceptional Lie group $E_6$.

The Weyl group $W(\mathrm{E}_6)$ has an odd presentation due to Christopher Simons as factor group of the Coxeter group on the Petersen graph by deflation of the free hexagons. The goal of this paper is to give a geometric meaning for this…

We describe the Witt invariants of a Weyl group over a field $k_0$ by giving generators for the $W(k_0)$-module of Witt invariants, under the assumption that the characteristic of $k_0$ does not divide the order of the group. For the Weyl…
