Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian simple group, $C$ a non-identity conjugacy class of $G$, and $\Gamma_C$ the Cayley graph of $G$ based on $C \cup C^{-1}$. Our main result shows that in any such graph, there is an involution at bounded…

This paper deals with affine connections on real manifolds. We give a new characterization of flat affine connections on real manifolds by means of certain affine representations of the Lie group of automorphisms preserving the connection.…

Let $(W, S)$ be a Coxeter system equipped with a fixed automorphism $\ast$ of order $\leq 2$ which preserves $S$. Lusztig (and with Vogan in some special cases) have shown that the space spanned by set of "twisted" involutions was naturally…

Let $W$ be a finite Weyl group and $\sg$ be a non-trivial graph automorphism of $W$. We show a remarkable relation between the $\sg$-twisted involution module for $W$ and the Frobenius--Schur indicators of the unipotent characters of a…

Let $\A$ be a finitary hereditary abelian category and $D(\A)$ be its reduced Drinfeld double Hall algebra. By giving explicit formulas in $D(\A)$ for left and right mutations, we show that the subalgebras of $D(\A)$ generated by…

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…

We first describe how the Kashiwara involution on crystals of affine type $A$ is encoded by the combinatorics of aperiodic multisegments. This yields a simple relation between this involution and the Zelevinsky involution on the set of…

Given a grading on a nonassociative algebra by an abelian group, we have two subgroups of automorphisms attached to it: the automorphisms that stabilize each homogeneous component (as a subspace) and the automorphisms that permute the…

We introduce a Grothendieck ring of higher Artin stacks generalizing the Grothendieck ring of algebraic varieties. We show that this ring is not trivial by noticing that it factors the invariant "number of rational points over a finite…

Cui (arXiv:1405.6441) has shown that the modified quantum affine algebra $\widetilde{\mathbf U}$ (more precisely its quotients, BLN algebras) is affine cellular in the sense of Koenig and Xi. The proof is based on the structure of cells of…

Every affine Weyl group appears as the iterated monodromy group of a Chebyshev-like polynomial self-map of $\mathbb{C}^n$.

We show that the convolution algebra $K^G(\mathcal{B} \times \mathcal{B})$ is isomorphic to the Based ring of the lowest two-sided cell of the extended affine Weyl group associated to $G$, where $G$ is a connected reductive algebraic group…

Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field with residual characteristic p, let G be an inner form of GL(n,F) for a positive integer n and let R be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. When R has…

We use a geometric description of $m$-cluster categories of Dynkin type $A$ to count the the number of coloured quivers in the $m$-mutation class of quivers of Dynkin type $A$. This is related to angulations of polygons and the cell-growth…

We give a new proof of the fact that affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for an algebraic group of adjoint type, associated with superbasic elements, are of finite type. The proof uses a property of the associated Hecke algebra, which we…

Let $\gg$ be a simple, finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra, and let $V^k(\gg)$ denote the universal affine vertex algebra associated to $\gg$ at level $k$. The Cartan involution on $\gg$ lifts to an involution on $V^k(\gg)$, and we…

We present a new class of extended affine Weyl groups $\widetilde{W}^{(k,k+1)}(A_l)$ for $1\leq k <l$ and obtain an analogue of Chevalley-type theorem for their invariants. We further show the existence of Frobenius manifold structures on…

We observe that, for each positive integer n > 2, each of the Artin groups of finite type A_n, B_n=C_n, and affine type \tilde A_{n-1} and \tilde C_{n-1} is a central extension of a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of the…

Let $W$ be a finite Weyl group and $\A$ be the corresponding Weyl arrangement. A deformation of $\A$ is an affine arrangement which is obtained by adding to each hyperplane $H\in\A$ several parallel translations of $H$ by the positive root…

We prove a weak version of Lusztig's conjecture on explicit description of the asymptotic Hecke algebras (both finite and affine), and explain its relation to Lusztig's classification of character sheaves.
