This is a survey article on the theory of finite complex reflection groups. No proofs are given but numerous references are included.
This note is based on my talk at ICCM 2013, Taipei. We give an exposition of the group-theoretic method and recent results on the questions of non-emptiness and dimension of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in affine flag varieties.
Rosay and Rudin introduced the notion of Tame discrete subsets of the affine complex space and investigated their properties. We generalize this theory to the case of a complex linear algebraic group with trivial character group.
We initiate a systematic study of the perfection of affine group schemes of finite type over fields of positive characteristic. The main result intrinsically characterises and classifies the perfections of reductive groups, and obtains a…
Recently delivered lectures on Self-Referential Mathematics, [2], at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Pretoria, are briefly presented. Comments follow on the subject, as well as on Inconsistent…
We continue the program, presented in previous Symposia, of discretizing physical models. In particular we calculate the integral Lorentz transformations with the help of discrete reflection groups, and use them for the covariance of…
This is an expanded version of my talk given at the workshop "Hot Topics: Thin Groups and Super-strong Approximation" (MSRI, Berkeley, February 6-10, 2012).
We introduce the generic central character of an irreducible discrete series representation of an affine Hecke algebra. Using this invariant we give a new classification of the irreducible discrete series characters for all abstract affine…
These lecture notes are based on an introductory course given by the author at the summer school "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" at MSRI in June 2012. The emphasis throughout is on examples to illustrate the many different facets of…
This paper is based on a course given by the author at the University of Rome ``La Sapienza'' in the Academic year 2000/2001. The intended aim of the course was to rapidly introduce, although not in an exhaustive way, the non-expert PhD…
This is a write-up of the discussions during the meetings of the study group on representation theory of semirings which was organized at the Department of Mathematics, Uppsala University, during the academic year 2017-2018. The main…
We introduce and study a new class of representations of surface groups into Lie groups of Hermitian type, called {\em weakly maximal} representations. We prove that weakly maximal representations are discrete and injective and we describe…
Let $V$ be a finite dimensional complex vector space and $W\subset \GL(V)$ be a finite complex reflection group. Let $V^{\reg}$ be the complement in $V$ of the reflecting hyperplanes. A classical conjecture predicts that $V^{\reg}$ is a…
A discrete subgroup of the group of isometries of the hyperbolic space is called reflective if up to a finite index it is generated by reflections in hyperplanes. The main result of this paper is a complete classification of the reflective…
Discrete quantum groups were introduced as duals of compact quantum groups by Podle\'s and Woronowicz in 1990. Shortly after, they were defined and studied intrinsically by Effros and Ruan, and by this author. In 1998, with the introduction…
Notes used for a course held in 2016 in the School of Advances in Group Theory and Applications, for some lectures given in 2018 for the students of the Master in Mathematics of the Vrije Universiteit Brussels, a course for master and Ph.D.…
These are expanded notes of some lectures given by the author for a workshop held at the Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore in June, 2010, giving an exposition on the modular representations of finite groups of Lie type and $p$-adic…
We give a presentation of a finite crystallographic reflection group in terms of an arbitrary seed in the corresponding cluster algebra of finite type and interpret the presentation in terms of companion bases in the associated root system.
This article is an extended version of the minicourse given by the second author at the summer school of the conference "Interactions of quantum affine algebras with cluster algebras, current algebras and categorification", held in June…
A classification of maximal subgroups of odd index in finite simple groups was given by Liebeck and Saxl and, independently, Kantor in 1980s. In the cases of alternating groups or classical groups of Lie type over fields of odd…
