Lusztig \cite{L5,L6} gave a parametrization for $\rm{Irr}(G^F)$, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with Frobenius map $F$. This parametrization is known as Lusztig's Jordan decomposition or Lusztig…

We give a construction that takes a simple linear algebraic group $G$ over a field and produces a commutative, unital, and simple non-associative algebra $A$ over that field. Two attractions of this construction are that (1) when $G$ has…

Let N be a simply connected, connected real nilpotent Lie group of finite dimension n. We study subgroups $\Gamma$ in $\Aff (N)=N\rtimes \Aut (N)$ acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on N. This situation is a natural…

In this article we generalize results of Clozel and Ray (for $SL_2$ and $SL_n$ respectively) to give explicit ring-theoretic presentation in terms of a complete set of generators and relations of the Iwasawa algebra of the pro-$p$ Iwahori…

The purpose of this article is to show a close relationship between the generalized central series of Leibniz algebras. Some analogues of the classical group-theoretical theorems of Schur and Baer for Leibniz algebras are proved.

This paper presents some new Lie groups preserving fixed subspaces of geometric algebras (or Clifford algebras) under the twisted adjoint representation. We consider the cases of subspaces of fixed grades and subspaces determined by the…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group, $T$ a maximal torus of $G$, and $N$ the normalizer of $T$ in $G$. In this paper we study the connection between the derived category of l-adic sheaves on the stack $[Lie(T)/N]$ and the derived…

In this article we extend independent results of Lusztig and H\'ezard concerning the existence of irreducible characters of finite reductive groups, (defined in good characteristic and arising from simple algebraic groups), satisfying a…

We establish the existence of Springer isomorphisms for reductive group schemes over general base schemes. For this, we first study centralizers of fiberwise regular sections of reductive group schemes, and we establish their flatness in…

It was conjectured by H. Zassenhaus that a torsion unit of an integral group ring of a finite group is conjugate to a group element within the rational group algebra. The object of this note is the computational aspect of a method developed…

A generalization of the Auslander conjecture is proved in the case when the Levi factor of the Zariski closure of the acting group is a product of simple real algebraic groups of rank \leq 1. Also, the Auslander conjecture is proved for…

We introduce a technique for proving lower bounds on the essential dimension of split reductive groups. As an application, we strengthen the best previously known lower bounds for various split simple algebraic groups, most notably for the…

For a connected semisimple Lie group $G$ we describe an explicit collection of correspondences between the admissible dual of $G$ and the admissible dual of the Cartan motion group associated with $G$. We conjecture that each of these…

In this paper we describe all group gradings by a finite abelian group G of any Lie algebra L of the type "A" over algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero.

The computer algebra system CHEVIE is designed to facilitate computations with various combinatorial structures arising in Lie theory, like finite Coxeter groups and Hecke algebras. We discuss some recent examples where CHEVIE has been…

We prove a version of the Green correspondence for complex algebraic supergroups, constructing a correspondence between certain indecomposable representations of G and the normalizer of a Sylow subgroup of G.

Trinh and Xue have proposed a startling conjecture on intersections of blocks of cyclotomic Hecke algebras occurring in modular representation theory of finite reductive groups. We prove this conjecture for all exceptional type groups apart…

We establish a "matrix simultaneous diagonalization theorem" for disconnected reductive groups which relaxes both the semisimplicity condition and the commutativity condition. As an application, we prove the following basic results…

Let H(G) be the Hecke algebra of a reductive p-adic group G. We formulate a conjecture for the ideals in the Bernstein decomposition of H(G). The conjecture says that each ideal is geometrically equivalent to an algebraic variety. Our…

We prove Rapoport's dimension conjecture for affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for GL_h and superbasic b. From this case the general dimension formula for affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for special maximal compact subgroups of split groups…
