This paper discusses the relationships between gauge theories defined by gauge groups with finite trivially-acting centers, and theories with restrictions on nonperturbative sectors, in two and four dimensions. In two dimensions, these…
A key result in a 2004 paper by S. Arkhipov, R. Bezrukavnikov, and V. Ginzburg (ABG) gives an equivalence of the bounded derived category of finite dimensional modules for the principal block of a Lusztig quantum algebra at an $\ell^{th}$…
We discuss recent developments in the Langlands program for function fields, and in the geometric Langlands program. In particular we explain a canonical decomposition of the space of cuspidal automorphic forms for any reductive group G…
Let $G$ be a $p$-adic group which splits over an unramified extension and $Rep_{\Lambda}^{0}(G)$ the abelian category of smooth level $0$ representations of $G$ with coefficients in $\Lambda=\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_{\ell}$ or…
This is a translation in English of version 5 of the article arXiv:1404.3998, which is itself an introduction to arXiv:1209.5352. We explain all the ideas of the proof of the following theorem. For any reductive group G over a global…
The geometric Satake correspondence gives an equivalence of categories between the representations of a semisimple group $ G $ and the spherical perverse sheaves on the affine Grassmannian $Gr$ of its Langlands dual group.…
We revisit the computation, due to Hesselholt and Madsen, of the K-theory of truncated polynomial algebras for perfect fields of positive characteristic. The resulting K-groups are expressed in terms of big Witt vectors of the field. The…
We establish that the singular numbers (arising from Cartan decomposition) and corners (emerging from Iwasawa decomposition) in split reductive groups over non-archimedean fields are fundamentally determined by Hall-Littlewood polynomials.…
This paper is concerned with the representation theory of finite groups. According to Robinson, the truth of certain variants of Alperin's weight conjecture on the $p$-blocks of a finite group would imply some arithmetical conditions on the…
We define and study sl\_2-categorifications on abelian categories. We show in particular that there is a self-derived (even homotopy) equivalence categorifying the adjoint action of the simple reflection. We construct categorifications for…
Block character of a finite symmetric group S(n) is a positive definite function which depends only on the number of cycles in permutation. We describe the cone of block characters by identifying its extreme rays, and find relations of the…
Suppose that G is a connected reductive group over a p-adic field F, that K is a hyperspecial maximal compact subgroup of G(F), and that V is an irreducible representation of K over the algebraic closure of the residue field of F. We…
This paper has two main parts. Firstly, we give a classification of the $\ell$-blocks of finite special linear and unitary groups $SL_n(\epsilon q)$ in the non-defining characteristic $\ell\ge 3$. Secondly, we describe how the…
We prove a version of the twisted geometric Satake equivalence and extend the Langlands parametrization of V. Lafforgue to certain covers of reductive groups.
Recently the authors proved the existence of RoCK blocks for double covers of symmetric groups over an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic. In this paper we prove that these blocks lift to RoCK blocks over a suitably defined…
We start with a small paradigm shift about group representations, namely the observation that restriction to a subgroup can be understood as an extension-of-scalars. We deduce that, given a group $G$, the derived and the stable categories…
We develop the local-global theory of blocks for profinite groups. Given a field $k$ of characteristic $p$ and a profinite group $G$, one may express the completed group algebra $k[[G]]$ as a product $\prod_{i\in I}B_i$ of closed…
Let $G$ be a $p$-adic group that splits over an unramified extension. We decompose $Rep_{\Lambda}^{0}(G)$, the abelian category of smooth level $0$ representations of $G$ with coefficients in $\Lambda=\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_{\ell}$ or…
Thanks to the work of Karin Erdmann, we know a great deal about the representation theory of blocks of finite groups with tame representation type. Our purpose here is to examine the $p$-completed classifying spaces of these blocks and…
In studying the structure of derived categories of module categories of group algebras or their blocks, it is fundamental to classify support $\tau$-tilting modules. Koshio and Kozakai showed that the structure of support $\tau$-tilting…
