The graded-fermion algebra and quasi-spin formalism are introduced and applied to obtain the $gl(m|n)\downarrow osp(m|n)$ branching rules for the "two-column" tensor irreducible representations of gl(m|n), for the case $m\leq n (n > 2)$. In…

We prove that when $q$ is a power of $2$, every complex irreducible representation of $\mathrm{Sp}(2n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ may be defined over the real numbers, that is, all Frobenius-Schur indicators are 1. We also obtain a generating function…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$, and let $W_{2}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We prove that for any reductive group scheme $\mathbb{G}$ over $\mathbb{Z}$ such…

We mainly discuss the Wu classes $v(M)$ and the Steenrod operation $Sq$ of the topological blow up $\tilde{M}$. The formula of the Wu class $v(\tilde{M})$ will be given as well as the formula of the Steenrod operation $Sq$. As an…

We provide some experimental results on the decomposition of the parabolic induction of $\pi\otimes\pi$ in the Grothendieck group where $\pi$ is an irreducible representation of $GL_n$ over a local non-archimedean field.

In the paper we study irreducible representations of some nilpotent groups of finite abelian total rank. The main result of the paper states that if a torsion-free minimax group $G$ of nilpotency class 2 admits a faithful irreducible…

For any finitely generated abelian group $Q$, we reduce the problem of classification of $Q$-graded simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of "good" characteristic to the problem of classification of gradings on simple Lie…

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$, $G$ be the group $GL(n, F)$. In this note, under the assumption $(n, p)=1$, we show a simple cuspidal representation $\pi$ (that with normalized level $\frac{1}{n}$) of…

We show that under standard assumptions on the isotropy groups of an integer GKM manifold, the equivariant Stiefel-Whitney classes of the action are determined by the GKM graph. This is achieved via a GKM-style description of the…

Let $(X,c_X)$ be a convex projective surface equipped with a real structure. The space of stable maps $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{0,k}(X,d)$ carries different real structures induced by $c_X$ and any order two element $\tau$ of permutation group…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$ and let $W_{2}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We prove that for any integer $n$ such that $p$ divides $n$, the groups…

Let $G$ be a finite classical group of Lie type of rank $\ell$, defined over a field of characteristic $p>2$. In this work, we classify the irreducible representations of $G$ whose dimensions are bounded by a constant proportional to…

We show that all classes that are neither semisimple nor unipotent in finite simple Chevalley or Steinberg groups different from $PSL_n(q)$ collapse (i.e. are never the support of a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra). As a consequence, we…

For physicists: For supersymmetric quantum mechanics, there are cases when a mod-2 Witten index can be defined, even when a more ordinary $\mathbb{Z}$-valued Witten index vanishes. Similarly, for 2d supersymmetric quantum field theories,…

An operation of a coproduct of representations of a bialgebra is defined. The coproduct operation for representations of the Hopf algebra of functions on the quantum group $SU_{q}(2)$ is investigated. A notion of a stable representation…

In this note we collect several characterizations of unitary representations $(\pi, \mathcal{H})$ of a finite dimensional Lie group $G$ which are trace class, i.e., for each compactly supported smooth function $f$ on $G$, the operator…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group and $H=G^{\theta}$ be its fixed point subgroup under a Galois involution $\theta$. We show that any $H$-distinguished representation $\pi$ (i.e $\mathrm{dim}_{\mathbb{C}}\left(\pi^{*}\right)^{H}\neq0$)…

For transcendental values of $q$ all bicovariant first order differential calculi on the coordinate Hopf algebras of the quantum groups $SL_q(n+1)$ and $Sp_q(2n)$ are classified. It is shown that the irreducible bicovariant first order…
