An $n\times n$ nilpotent matrix $B$ is determined up to conjugacy by a partition $P_B$ of $n$, its Jordan type given by the sizes of its Jordan blocks. The Jordan type $\mathfrak D(P)$ of a nilpotent matrix in the dense orbit of the…

We announce here a number of results concerning representation theory of the algebra $R=k<x,y>/ (xy-yx-y^2)$, known as Jordan plane (or Jordan algebra). We consider the question on 'classification' of finite-dimensional modules over the…

We show that for any finite connected reductive group, a Jordan decomposition can always be chosen such that it commutes with Harish-Chandra induction. En route, we show that the endomorphism algebra of the Harish-Chandra induction of a…

In this paper, we describe the possible disconnected complex reductive algebraic groups $E$ with component group $\Gamma = E/E_0$. We show that there is a natural bijection between such groups $E$ and algebraic extensions of $\Gamma$ by…

We study the geometry of the stratification induced by an affine hyperplane arrangement H on the quotient of a complex affine space by the action of a discrete group preserving H. We give conditions ensuring normality or normality in…

Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space which are closed under the Jordan product. The discovery of the present paper is that there exists a huge and tractable theory of possibly nonselfadjoint Jordan…

The variety $JorN_{5}$ of five-dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras structures over an algebraically closed field is investigated. We show that $JorN_{5}$ is the union of five irreducible components, four of them correspond to the Zariski…

Let G be the group of rational points of a connected reductive group over a finite field. Based on work of Lusztig and Yun, we make the Jordan decomposition for irreducible G-representations canonical. It comes in the form of an equivalence…

Let G be a quasisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. We suppose that p is very good for G; since p is good, there is a bijection between the nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebra and the unipotent…

We classify up to isomorphism all gradings by an arbitrary group $G$ on the Lie algebras of zero-trace upper block-triangular matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. It turns out that the support of such a grading…

Jordan Normal Forms serve as excellent representatives of conjugacy classes of matrices over closed fields. Once we knows normal forms, we can compute functions of matrices, their main invariant, etc. The situation is much more complicated…

The Jordan type of an Artinian algebra is the Jordan block partition associated to multiplication by a generic element of the maximal ideal. We study the Jordan type for Artinian Gorenstein (AG) local algebras A, and the interaction of…

Popov has recently introduced an analogue of Jordan classes (packets, or decomposition classes) for the action of a theta-group (G_0,V), showing that they are finitely-many, locally-closed, irreducible unions of G_0-orbits of constant…

Let $\mathcal{J}^1$ be the real form of complex simple Jordan algebra with the automorphism group $G$ of type $F_{4(-20)}$. Explicitly, we give the orbit decomposition of $\mathcal{J}^1$ under the action of $G$ and determine the Lie group…

Fix an integral semisimple element $\lambda$ in the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of a complex reductive algebraic group $G$. Let $L$ denote the centralizer of $\lambda$ in $G$ and let $\mathfrak{g}(-1)$ denote the $-1$ eigenspace of…

Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$. In recent work, the authors have studied a graded analogue of the category of rational $G$-modules. These gradings are…

A square matrix $A$ has the usual Jordan canonical form that describes the structure of $A$ via eigenvalues and the corresponding Jordan blocks. If $A$ is a linear relation in a finite-dimensional linear space ${\mathfrak H}$ (i.e., $A$ is…

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a unital ring with a nontrivial idempotent. In this paper, it is shown that under certain conditions every multiplicative generalized Jordan $n$-derivation $\Delta:\mathfrak{A}\rightarrow\mathfrak{A}$ is additive. More…
