For the groups SO(2n+1,F), where F is a p-adic field, we consider the tempered irr{\'e}ducible representations of unipotent reduction. Lusztig has contructed and parametrized these representations. We prove that they satisfy the expected…
Settling a conjecture from an earlier paper, we prove that the monoid $\mathrm{M}(n,k)$ of $n \times n$ matrices in a field $k$ of characteristic zero is the "walking monoid with an $n$-dimensional representation". More precisely, if we…
We prove the conjecture that, for any $n$, the monoid of all $n \times n$ tropical matrices satisfies nontrivial semigroup identities. To this end, we prove that the factor rank of a large enough power of a tropical matrix does not exceed…
We generalize the notion of a coloring complex of a graph to linearized combinatorial Hopf monoids. We determine when a linearized combinatorial Hopf monoid has such a construction, and discover some inequalities that are satisfied by the…
We extend Grood's tableau construction of irreducible representations of the rook monoid and Steinberg's analogous result for the full transformation monoid. Our approach is characteristic-free and applies to any submonoid $\mathcal{M}(n)$…
Motivated by a certain type of unfolding of a Hopf-Hopf singularity, we consider a one-parameter family $(f_\gamma)_{\gamma\geq0}$ of $C^3$--vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^4$ whose flows exhibit a heteroclinic cycle associated to two periodic…
Hyperelliptic mapping class groups are defined either as the centralizers of hyperelliptic involutions inside mapping class groups of oriented surfaces of finite type or as the inverse images of these centralizers by the natural…
It is proved that the periodic point submonoid of a free inverse monoid endomorphism is always finitely generated. Using Chomsky's hierarchy of languages, we prove that the fixed point submonoid of an endomorphism of a free inverse monoid…
We give new explicit formulas for the representations of the mapping class group of a genus one surface with one boundary component which arise from Integral TQFT. Our formulas allow one to compute the h-adic expansion of the TQFT-matrix…
We study the 3-dimensional immersed crosscap number of a knot, which is a nonorientable analogue of the immersed Seifert genus. We study knots with immersed crosscap number 1, and show that a knot has immersed crosscap number 1 if and only…
We introduce uniparametric and multiparametric quantisations of the general linear supergroup, in the form of "quantised function algebras", both in a formal setting - yielding "quantum formal series Hopf superalgebras", a` la Drinfeld -…
The left regular band structure on a hyperplane arrangement and its representation theory provide an important connection between semigroup theory and algebraic combinatorics. A finite semigroup embeds in a real hyperplane face monoid if…
We introduce a strategy to study irreducible representations of automorphism groups of finite modules over local rings. We prove that these automorphism groups fit in a hierarchy that facilitates a stratification of their irreducible…
A monoid presentation is called special if the right-hand side of each defining relation is equal to 1. We prove results which relate the two-sided homological finiteness properties of a monoid defined by a special presentation with those…
The orbits of the symplectic group acting on the type A flag variety are indexed by the fixed-point-free involutions in a finite symmetric group. The cohomology classes of the closures of these orbits have polynomial representatives…
Many finite groups, including all finite non-abelian simple groups, can be symmetrically generated by involutions. In this paper we give an algorithm to symmetrically represent elements of finite groups and to transform symmetrically…
We investigate the representation theory of the polynomial core of the quantum Teichmuller space of a punctured surface S. This is a purely algebraic object, closely related to the combinatorics of the simplicial complex of ideal cell…
We investigate expansiveness, topological stability, and shadowing for continuous actions of semigroups on compact Hausdorff spaces. We characterize semigroups for which all full shifts are expansive. We show that every expansive continuous…
In this work, we establish a relationship between the sum of irreducible character degrees and the number of twisted involutions associated with the automorphisms of a finite group. We develop algorithmic frameworks for evaluating these…
Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. Criteria are given which characterize existence of a fine or coarse moduli space classifying, up to isomorphism, the representations of $\Lambda$ with fixed…
