We give a reduction to quasisimple groups for Donovan's conjecture for blocks with abelian defect groups defined with respect to a suitable discrete valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$. Consequences are that Donovan's conjecture holds for…

The famous Jacobian conjecture asks if an endomorphism $f$ of $K[x,y]$ ($K$ is a characteristic zero field) having a non-zero scalar Jacobian is invertible. Let $\alpha$ be the exchange involution on $K[x,y]$: $\alpha(x)= y$ and $\alpha(y)=…

Prasad and Takloo-Bighash proposed a conjecture which predicts a necessary condition in terms of epsilon factors for representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)$ and its inner forms to have linear periods. In this rather expository article, we…

We define an involution on the space of compact tempered unipotent representations of inner twists of a split simple $p$-adic group $G$ and investigate its behaviour with respect to restrictions to reductive quotients of maximal compact…

The category of framed correspondences $Fr_*(k)$, framed presheaves and framed sheaves were invented by Voevodsky in his unpublished notes [12]. Based on the theory, framed motives are introduced and studied in [7]. The main aim of this…

Consider the action of a subgroup $G$ of the permutation group on the polynomial ring $S := k[x_{1}, \ldots, x_{n}]$ via permutations. We show that if $k$ does not have characteristic two, then the following are independent of $k$: the…

Let $G$ be $Sp_{2n}$, $SO_{2n}$ or $SO_{2n+1}$ and let $G^\vee$ be its Langlands dual group. Barbasch and Vogan based on earlier work of Lusztig and Spaltenstein, define a duality map $D$ that sends nilpotent orbits $\mathbb{O}_{e^\vee}…

Given a finite group $G$ and a subgroup $K$, we study the commutant of $\text{Ind}_K^G\theta$, where $\theta$ is an irreducible $K$-representation. After a careful analysis of Frobenius reciprocity, we are able to introduce an orthogonal…

In this second paper of a series dedicated to type I Howe duality for finite fields, we explicitly describe the eta and zeta correspondences constructed in the first paper in terms of G. Lusztig's parametrization of the irreducible…

Assume $\mathbf{G}$ is a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraic closure $\mathbb{K} = \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of the finite field of prime order $p>0$. Furthermore, assume that $F : \mathbf{G} \to \mathbf{G}$ is a…

Let $K$ be the function field of a $p$-adic curve, $G$ a semisimple simply connected group over $K$ and $X$ a $G$-torsor over $K$. A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Parimala and Suresh predicts that if for every discrete valuation $v$ of…

Let G be the group of rational points of a reductive connected group over a finite field (resp. nonarchimedean local field of characteristic p) and R a commutative ring. The unipotent (resp. pro-p Iwahori) invariant functor takes a smooth…

We consider the generalized character $\Psi_{1,p,G}$ of a finite group $G$ which vanishes on all $p$-singular elements of $G$ and whose value at each $p$-regular $y \in G$ is the number of $p$-elements of $C_{G}(y)$. We conjecture that this…

Let \chi be an irreducible character of the finite group G. If g is an element of G and \chi(g) is not zero, then we conjecture that the order of g divides |G|/\chi(1). The conjecture is a generalization of the classical fact that…

The values of the normalized homogeneous weight are determined for arbitrary finite Frobenius rings and expressed in a form that is independent from a generating character and the M\"obius function on the ring. The weight naturally induces…

For $G$ a finite group, one way to construct irreducible quandle representations over $\mathbb{C}$ of the conjugacy quandle $Conj(G)$ is by taking the product of an irreducible linear group representation of $G$ by what we call a quandle…

We discuss Born-Infeld on the noncommutative two-torus as a description of compactified string theory. We show that the resulting theory, including the fluctuations, is manifestly invariant under the T-duality group SO(2,2;Z). The BPS mass…

Fix natural numbers $n \geq 1$, $t \geq 2$ and a primitive $t^{\text{th}}$ root of unity $\omega$. In previous work with A. Ayyer (J. Alg., 2022), we studied the factorization of specialized irreducible characters of $\text{GL}_{tn}$,…

In this paper we show that the convolution product of "almost characters" of a connected reductive group over a finite field is given by "structure constants" whose leading coefficients can be interpreted in K-theoretic terms and in…

We show that the Vojta (or Hall-Lang) conjecture implies that the arboreal Galois representations in a 1-parameter family of quadratic polynomials are surjective if and only if they surject onto some finite and uniform quotient. As an…
