Webb's conjecture states that the orbit space of the Brown complex of a finite group at any given prime $\ell$ is contractible. This conjecture was proved by Symonds in 1998. In this paper, we suggest a generalisation of Webb's conjecture…

We work towards a version of generalized Harish-Chandra theory compatible with Clifford theory and with the action of automorphisms on irreducible characters. This provides a fundamental tool to verify the inductive conditions for the…

In this paper, we begin with the classification of Harish-Chandra imprimitive representations in non-defining characteristic. We recall the connection of this problem to certain generalizations of Iwahori-Hecke algebras and show that…

We obtain an adaptation of Dade's Conjecture and Sp\"ath's Character Triple Conjecture to unipotent characters of simple, simply connected finite reductive groups of type $\bf{A}$, $\bf{B}$ and $\bf{C}$. In particular, this gives a precise…

We show that parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of type $A$ compute the decomposition numbers in certain Harish-Chandra series of unipotent characters of finite groups of Lie types $B$, $C$ and $D$ over a field of non-defining…

This article is the final one of a series of articles on certain blocks of modular representations of finite groups of Lie type and the associated geometry. We prove the conjecture of Brou\'e on derived equivalences induced by the complex…

We prove a conjecture of Broue about the Jordan decomposition of blocks of finite reductive groups. We show that a block of a finite connected reductive group, in non-describing characteristic, is Morita-equivalent to a quasi-isolated block…

Many of the conjectures of current interest in the representation theory of finite groups in characteristic $p$ are local-to-global statements, in that they predict consequences for the representations of a finite group $G$ given data about…

We give an expanded treatment of our lecture series at the 2017 Groups St Andrews conference in Birmingham on local-global conjectures and the block theory of finite reductive groups.

We study the cohomology with modular coefficients of Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to Coxeter elements. Under some torsion-free assumption on the cohomology we derive several results on the principal l-block of a finite reductive…

We propose a generalization of the level-rank dualities arising from Uglov's work on higher-level Fock spaces. The statements use Hecke algebras defined by Brou\'{e}-Malle, which conjecturally describe the endomorphisms of Lusztig induction…

In this paper, we answer the question posed by Goodwin and R\"ohrle for reductive groups and their parabolic subgroups. In addition, we consider an additive analogue of this problem. By studying this additive analogue, we identify similar…

We prove quantitative versions of Borel and Harish-Chandra's theorems on reduction theory for arithmetic groups. Firstly, we obtain polynomial bounds on the lengths of reduced integral vectors in any rational representation of a reductive…

Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected algebraic group of exceptional type defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with Frobenius endomorphism $F: G \to G$. Let $\ell \nmid q$ be a good prime for $G$. We determine the number of irreducible Brauer…

Recently, a new conjecture on the degrees of the irreducible Brauer characters of a finite group was presented by the second author. In this paper we propose a 'local' version of this conjecture for blocks B of finite groups, giving a lower…

We address two problems regarding the structure and representation theory of finite W-algebras associated with the general linear Lie algebras. Finite W-algebras can be defined either via the Whittaker model of Kostant or, equivalently, by…

We examine from an algebraic point of view some families of unitary group representations that arise in mathematical physics and are associated to contraction families of Lie groups. The contraction families of groups relate different real…

We prove a generalization of Harish-Chandra's character orthogonality relations for discrete series to arbitrary Harish-Chandra modules for real reductive Lie groups. This result is an analogue of a conjecture by Kazhdan for $\mathfrak…

This survey is about old and new results about the modular representation theory of finite reductive groups with a strong emphasis on local methods. This includes subpairs, Brauer's Main Theorems, fusion, Rickard equivalences. In the…

The descent method is one of the approaches to study the Brauer--Manin obstruction to the local--global principle and to weak approximation on varieties over number fields, by reducing the problem to ``descent varieties''. In recent lecture…
