We study the representations of the commutator subgroup K_{n} of the braid group B_{n} into a finite group . This is done through a symbolic dynamical system. Some experimental results enable us to compute the number of subgroups of K_{n}…

For any Coxeter group W, we define a filtration of H^*(W;ZW) by W-submodules and then compute the associated graded terms. More generally, if U is a CW complex on which W acts as a reflection group we compute the associated graded terms for…

Given an odd prime $p$, we identify composition factors of the reduction modulo $p$ of spin irreducible representations of the covering groups of symmetric groups indexed by partitions with 2 parts and find some decomposition numbers.

A Coxeter group W is called reflection independent if its reflections are uniquely determined by W only, independently on the choice of the generating set. We give a new sufficient condition for the reflection independence, and examine this…

Let $U$ be an algebraic subgroup of the group of $n\times n$ upper-triangular matrices with units on the diagonal over a finite field of large enough characteristic, and $\mathfrak{n}$ be the Lie algebra of $U$. The main tool in…

The paper develops elementary linear algebra methods to compute the determinants of the tensor symmetrizations of quadratic and hermitian forms over fields of good characteristic. Explicit results are given for the partitions $(n)$,…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and $\Gamma$ be a group of automorphisms of $W$ such that $\gamma(S)=S$ for all $\gamma \in \Gamma$. Then it is known that the group of fixed points $W^\Gamma$ is again a Coxeter group with a canonically…

We introduce an algorithm to decompose orthogonal matrix representations of the symmetric group over the reals into irreducible representations, which as a by-product also computes the multiplicities of the irreducible representations. The…

Let $G$ be a reductive group with Borel $B$ and Weyl group $W$. Then $B$-double cosets in $G$ are indexed by the Weyl group, say $O(w)$ for $w\in W$. Then we prove the minimal $B$-double coset in the convolution $O(w_1)*O(w_2)$ is…

Let W be a Weyl group and let w be a Coxeter elememt of minimal length of W. In the early 1970's I.G.Macdonald stated that the trace of w on an irreducible representation of W is 0,1 or -1. In this paper we give a proof of this statement…

For extra-large Coxeter systems (m(s,r)>3), we construct a natural and explicit set of Soergel bimodules D={D_w}_{w\in W} such that each D_w contains as a direct summand (or is equal to) the indecomposable Soergel bimodule B_w. When…

We describe the structure of the irreducible representations of crossed products of unital C*-algebras by actions of finite groups in terms of irreducible representations of the C*-algebras on which the groups act. We then apply this…

Let W be a Weyl group. We define a class of irreducible representations of W that we call antispecial. They are in bijection with the constructible representations of W. We define an oriented graph structure on the set of antispecial…

We study and classify a class of representations (called generalized geometric representations) of a Coxeter group of finite rank. These representations can be viewed as a natural generalization of the geometric representation. The…

Using the geometry of the associated Calogero-Moser space, R. Rouquier and the author have attached to any finite complex reflection group $W$ several notions (Calogero-Moser left, right or two-sided cells, Calogero-Moser cellular…

In this third paper in a series on type I Howe duality for finite fields, we give a complete description of the restriction of the oscillator representation over a finite field to products of dual pairs of symplectic and orthogonal groups…

We find all irreducible constituents of the Weil representation of a unitary group $U_m(A)$ of rank $m$ associated to a ramified quadratic extension $A$ of a finite, commutative, local and principal ring $R$ of odd characteristic. We show…

Each Coxeter element c of a Coxeter group W defines a subset of W called the c-sortable elements. The choice of a Coxeter element of W is equivalent to the choice of an acyclic orientation of the Coxeter diagram of W. In this paper, we…

This article concerns the realization problem of subgroups of Coxeter groups. We construct a subgroup $G$ of the Coxeter group $W_{15}$ such that $G$ is realized as automorphism groups of a rational surface $X$ and $G \cong Aut(X)^* \cong…

We prove that a non-spherical irreducible Coxeter group is (directly) indecomposable and that a non-spherical and non-affine Coxeter group is strongly indecomposable in the sense that all its finite index subgroups are (directly)…
