We construct irreducible representations of affine Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras of arbitrary finite type. The irreducible representations arise as simple heads of appropriate induced modules, and thus our construction is similar to that…

We revisit Haiman's conjecture on the relations between characters of Kazdhan-Lusztig basis elements of the Hecke algebra over the symmetric group. The conjecture asserts that, for purposes of character evaluation, any Kazhdan-Lusztig basis…

In this paper, we first study two classes of Whittaker modules over the loop Witt algebra ${\mathfrak g}:=\mathcal{W}\otimes\mathcal{A}$, where $\mathcal{W}=\text{Der}({\mathbb{C}}[t])$, $\mathcal{A}={\mathbb{C}}[t,t^{-1}]$. The necessary…

We classify the $(\mathfrak{g},K)$-modules generated by nearly holomorphic Hilbert-Siegel modular forms by the global method. As an application, we study the image of projection operators on the space of nearly holomorphic Hilbert-Siegel…

We call a finite-dimensional K-algebra A geometrically irreducible if for all d all connected components of the affine scheme of d-dimensional A-modules are irreducible. We prove that a geometrically irreducible algebra with exactly two…
