This is the first of a series of papers devoted to certain pairs of commuting nilpotent elements in a semisimple Lie algebra that enjoy quite remarkable properties and which are expected to play a major role in Representation theory. The…
Consider a Chevalley group over a finite field $F_q$ such that the longest element of the Weyl group is central. We construct an involution $\xi\mapsto\xi^!$ of the set of unipotent representations of this group such that the degree…
In this paper we discuss some of Springer's work on unipotent elements in a reductive groups and on representations of Weyl groups. Among the topics considered are Springer's bijection from the unipotent variety to the nilpotent variety,…
Let G be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. In an earlier paper we defined a surjective map \Phi_p from the set \underline{W} of conjugacy classes in the Weyl group W to the set of unipotent…
Let G(F_q) be the group of rational points of a split connected reductive group G defined over the finite field F_q. In this paper we show that the category of representations of G(F_q) which are finite direct sums of unipotent…
Consider a Chevalley group over a finite field F_q such that the longest element in the Weyl group is central. In this paper we study the effect of changing q to -q in the polynomials which give the character values of unipotent…
In this (partly expository) paper we show, using ideas from the theory of total positivity, how a number of properties of a semisimple group over the complex numbers can be presented purely in terms of the Weyl group. We also describe some…
Bremke and Xi determined the lowest two-sided cell for affine Weyl groups with unequal parameters and showed that it consists of at most |W_{0}| left cells where W_{0} is the associated finite Weyl group. We prove that this bound is exact.…
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…
A Weyl group W is a union of strata (certain subsets which are unions of conjugacy classes) which are the nonempty fibres of a map from W to the set of irreducible representations of W. We give an explicit description of strata in terms of…
The representation theory of semisimple algebraic groups over the complex numbers (equivalently, semisimple complex Lie algebras or Lie groups, or real compact Lie groups) and the question of whether a given representation is symplectic or…
We survey some aspects of the pseudo-differential Weyl calculus for irreducible unitary representations of nilpotent Lie groups, ranging from the classical ideas to recently obtained results. The classical Weyl-H\"ormander calculus is…
A natural map from a quantized space onto its semiclassical limit is obtained. As an application, we see that an induced map by the natural map is a homeomorphism from the spectrum of the multi-parameter quantized Weyl algebra onto the…
Consider the subset of a Weyl group with a fixed descent set. For Weyl groups of classical types, we determine the number of two-sided cells this subset intersect. Moreover, we apply this result to prove that certain rational Whittaker…
We extend the Weil representation of infinite-dimensional symplectic group to a representation a certain category of linear relations.
We show that various properties of unipotent elements in a reductive group over the complex numbers can be recovered purely in terms of the affine Weyl group of the dual group.
Let G be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0, and let g be its Lie algebra. The crucial Lie algebra representations to understand are those associated with the reduced enveloping algebra…

Let W be a Coxeter group and L be a weight function on W. Following Lusztig, we have a corresponding decomposition of W into left cells, which have important applications in representation theory. We study the case where $W$ is an affine…
For a semisimple Lie algebra admitting a good enumeration, we prove a parametrization for the elements in its Weyl group. As an application, we give a coordinate-free comparison between the crystal graph description (when it is known) and…
