Following what Barthel-Livn\'e and Breuil made for GL(2,F), we study mod $p$ representations of SL(2,F) for F a complete non-archimedean local field of residual characteristic p and with finite residue field. In particular, we link these…
The new method of q-bosonization for quantum groups based on the Gauss decomposition of a transfer matrix of generators is suggested. The simplest example of the quantum group $GL_q(2)$ is considered in some details.
Let $\F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, $p=\Char \F_q$. The group $\GL_2(\F_q)$ acts naturally in the set of irreducible polynomials over $\F_q$ of degree at least $2$. In this paper we are interested in the characterization and…
We study cubic graphical regular representations of the finite simple groups $PSL_2(q)$. It is shown that such graphical regular representations exist if and only if $q\neq7$, and the generating set must consist of three involutions.
Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group. We describe the irreducible representations of $G$ by linear isometries on $L_p$-spaces for $p\in (1,+\infty)$ with $p\neq 2.$ More precisely, we show that, for every such representation $\pi,$ there…
Let $f=a{\tt x} +b{\tt x}^q+{\tt x}^{2q-1}\in\Bbb F_q[{\tt x}]$. We find explicit conditions on $a$ and $b$ that are necessary and sufficient for $f$ to be a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$. This result allows us to solve a related…
In this paper we discuss various aspects of the problem of determining the minimal dimension of an injective linear representation of a finite semigroup over a field. We outline some general techniques and results, and apply them to…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite fields with $q$ elements. The permutation behavior of several classes of infinite families of permutation polynomials over finite fields have been studied in recent years. In this paper, we continue with…
Let $G$ be an even orthogonal quasi-split group defined over a local non-archimedean field $F$. We describe the subspace of smooth vectors of the minimal representation of $G(F),$ realized on the space of square-integrable functions on a…
The conjugation representation of a finite group $G$ is the complex permutation module defined by the action of $G$ on itself by conjugation. Addressing a problem raised by Hain motivated by the study of a Hecke action on iterated Shimura…
Let $G:=G_2(K)$ be a simple algebraic group of type $G_2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $\sigma$ denote a standard Frobenius automorphism of $G$ such that $G_\sigma\cong G_2(q)$ with $q\geq 4$.…
Let $V$ be a finite rank vector space over a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, and let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}(V)$. If $V$ is a permutation representation of $G$, or more generally a monomial representation, we…
Representations of primes by simple quadratic forms, such as $\pm a^2\pm qb^2$, is a subject that goes back to Fermat, Lagrange, Legendre, Euler, Gauss and many others. We are interested in a comprehensive list of such results, for $q\le…
We present several existence and nonexistence results for permutation binomials of the form $x^r(x^{q-1}+a)$, where $e\geq 2$ and $a\in \mathbb{F}_{q^e}^*$. As a consequence, we obtain a complete characterization of such permutation…
The quasi-Frobenius-Lusztig kernel ${Q}\mathbf{u}_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}_{2})$ associated with $\mathfrak{sl}_{2}$ has been constructed in \cite{Liu}. In this paper we study the representations of this small quasi-quantum group. We give a…
Finding the minimum distance of linear codes is an NP-hard problem. Traditionally, this computation has been addressed by means of the design of algorithms that find, by a clever exhaustive search, a linear combination of some generating…
For each prime power q, we determine all polynomials over F_{q^2} of the form f(X) := aX^{3q}+bX^{2q+1}+cX^{q+2}+dX^3 which induce complete mappings of F_{q^2}, in the sense that each of the functions x --> f(x) and x --> f(x)+x permutes…
In this note we consider representations of the group GL(n,F), where F is the field of real or complex numbers or, more generally, an arbitrary local field, in the space of equivariant line bundles over Grassmannians over the same field F.…

Colmez has given a recipe to associate a smooth modular representation Omega(W) of the Borel subgroup of GL_2(Q_p) to a F_p^bar-representation W of Gal(Qp^bar/Qp) by using Fontaine's theory of (phi,Gamma)-modules. We compute Omega(W)…
