In this paper we construct certain irreducible infinite dimensional representations of algebraic groups with Frobenius maps. In particular, a few classical results of Steinberg and Deligne & Lusztig on complex representations of finite…

We prove that Alvis-Curtis duality preserves the Frobenius-Schur indicators of characters of connected reductive groups of Lie type with connected center. This allows us to extend a result of D. Prasad which relates the Frobenius-Schur…

We study the effect of Alvis-Curtis duality on the unipotent representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(q)$ in non-defining characteristic $\ell$. We show that the permutation induced on the simple modules can be expressed in terms of a…

For infinite reductive groups with Frobenius maps, we show that certain subquotients of abstract representations of the groups induced from 1-dimensional representations of Borel subgroups are irreducible.

We use geometry of the wonderful compactification to obtain a new proof of the relation between Deligne-Lusztig (or Alvis-Curtis) duality for $p$-adic groups and the homological duality. This provides a new way to introduce an involution on…

The well known Andrews-Curtis Conjecture [2] is still open. In this paper, we establish its finite version by describing precisely the connected components of the Andrews-Curtis graphs of finite groups. This finite version has independent…

We introduce the principal representation category $\mathscr{O}({\bf G})$ of reductive algebraic groups with Frobenius maps and put forward a conjecture that this category is a highest weight category. When $\Bbbk$ is complex field…

We show that for general linear groups ${\rm GL}_n(q)$ as well as for $q$-Schur algebras the knowledge of the modular Alvis-Curtis duality over fields of characteristic $\ell$, $\ell \nmid q$, is equivalent to the knowledge of the…

We suggest a new generalization of Pontryagin duality from the category of Abelian locally compact groups to a category which includes all Moore groups, i.e. groups whose irreducible representations are finite-dimensional. Objects in this…

The Andrews-Curtis conjecture remains one of the outstanding open problems in combinatorial group theory. It claims that every normally generating $r$-tuple of a free group $F_r$ of rank $r\geq 2$ can be reduced to a basis by means of…

We study the complex irreducible representations of special linear, symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups over principal ideal local rings of length two. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible representations of…

We formulate a strong positivity conjecture on characters afforded by the Alvis-Curtis dual of the intersection cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties. This conjecture provides a powerful tool to determine decomposition numbers of…

In this paper, we propose a new conjecture describing the structure of the unitary dual in terms of Arthur representations for connected reductive algebraic groups defined over any non-Archimedean local field of characteristic zero. This…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a finite field $\mathfrak{f}$ of order $q$. When $q$ is small, we make further assumptions on $G$. Then we determine precisely when $G(\mathfrak{f})$ admits irreducible, cuspidal representations…

We study the irreducible complex representations of general linear groups over principal ideal local rings of length two with a fixed finite residue field. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible representations of…

We pose a representation-theoretic question motivated by an attempt to resolve the Andrews-Curtis conjecture. Roughly, is there a triangular Hopf algebra with a collection of self-dual irreducible representations $V_i$ so that the product…

We classify the irreducible representations of smooth, connected affine algebraic groups over a field, by tackling the case of pseudo-reductive groups. We reduce the problem of calculating the dimension for pseudo-split pseudo-reductive…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive algebraic group. In arXiv:2108.03453, we have defined a finite set of irreducible admissible representations of $G$ called `unipotent representations', generalizing the special unipotent representations of…

We prove that the Steinberg representation of a connected reductive group over an infinite field is irreducible. For finite fields, this is a classical theorem of Steinberg and Curtis.

We give two generalizations of the Alvis-Curtis duality for Hecke algebras: an unequal parameter version for the affine Hecke algebras, based on S.-I. Kato's work, and a relative version for finite Hecke algebras, based on Howlett-Lehrer's…
