We study the new basis of the (complexified) Grothendieck group of unipotent representations of a split reductive group over a finite field. For exceptional types we use a definition of the new basis which differs from the earlier one.

The representation theory (idempotents, quivers, Cartan invariants and Loewy series) of the higher order unital peak algebras is investigated. On the way, we obtain new interpretations and generating functions for the idempotents of descent…

The unipotent groups are an important class of algebraic groups. We show that techniques used to compute with finitely generated nilpotent groups carry over to unipotent groups. We concentrate particularly on the maximal unipotent subgroup…

To a spetsial complex reflection group, equipped with a root lattice in the sense of Nebe, we attach a certain finite set playing a role which is analogous to the role of the set of unipotent classes of an algebraic group. In the case of…

Let G be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field and W be its Weyl group. Steinberg constructed a transversal slice of the regular unipotent orbit in G. This construction was generalized to n was generalized to…

We show that the irreducible representation of the asymptotic Hecke algebra corresponding to a special representation of a Weyl group admits a basis with strong positivity properties.

We study three fundamental topics in the representation theory of disconnected algebraic groups whose identity component is reductive: (i) the classification of irreducible representations; (ii) the existence and properties of Weyl and dual…

We explain an elementary topological construction of the Springer representation on the homology of (topological) Springer fibers of types C and D in the case of nilpotent endomorphisms with two Jordan blocks. The Weyl group and component…

Springer resolution of the set of nilpotent elements in a semisimple Lie algebra plays a central role in geometric representation theory. A new structure on this variety has arisen in several representation theoretic constructions, such as…
