In this note we present the Stiefel-Whitney classes (SWCs) for orthogonal representations of several finite groups of Lie type, namely for $G=\text{SL}(2,q),$ $\text{SL}(3,q),$ $\text{Sp}(4,q)$, and $\text{Sp}(6,q)$, with $q$ odd. We also…
A real representation $\pi$ of a finite group may be regarded as a homomorphism to an orthogonal group $\Or(V)$. For symmetric groups $S_n$, alternating groups $A_n$, and products $S_n \times S_{n'}$ of symmetric groups, we give criteria…
Two groups are called isocategorical over a field $k$ if their respective categories of $k$-linear representations are monoidally equivalent. We classify isocategorical groups over arbitrary fields, extending the earlier classification of…
Let $\widetilde{G}$ be the $n$-fold covering group of the special linear group of degree two, over a non-Archimedean local field. We determine the decomposition into irreducibles of the restriction of the principal series representations of…
The theory of almost characters which is closely related to character sheaves is proposed by Lusztig to study the representation theory of finite reductive groups. In this article we show that the decomposition of the Weil character for…
We construct extended Weil representations of unitary groups over finite fields geometrically, and show that they are Shintani lifts for Weil representations.
We consider the (extended) metaplectic representation of the semidirect product $\mathcal{G}={\mathbb H}^d\rtimes Sp(d,{\mathbb R})$ between the Heisenberg group and the symplectic group. Subgroups $H=\Sigma \rtimes D$, with $\Sigma$ being…
We provide explicit formulas for quadratic Gauss sums over $\mathbb{Z}^n/c\mathbb{Z}^n$, which generalize some of the existing formulas, e.g., Skoruppa and Zagier's (for $n=2$), and Iwaniec and Kowalski's (for arbitrary $n$). We then give…
We introduce the notions of symmetric and symmetrizable representations of $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. The linear representations of $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ arising from modular tensor categories are symmetric and have congruence kernel.…
In this paper, we propose two maximal one-to-one sub-relations $\underline\theta, \overline\theta$ of the Howe correspondence $\Theta$ for a finite reductive dual pair consisting of a symplectic group and an orthogonal group. Moreover, we…
Let W be a Weyl group. In my 1984 book a group was attached to any special representation of W using the theory of Springer representations. In this paper we give a new definition of this group which is purely algebraic (no use of geometry…
We extend the classical Schur-Weyl duality between representations of the groups $SL(n,\C)$ and $\sN$ to the case of $SL(n,\C)$ and the infinite symmetric group $\sinf$. Our construction is based on a "dynamic," or inductive, scheme of…
The quantum mechanical propagators of the linear automorphisms of the two-torus (cat maps) determine a projective unitary representation of the theta group, known as Weil's representation. We prove that there exists an appropriate choice of…
We consider the category of Whittaker modules for the Lie superalgebra $W_{m,n}$ of vector fields on $\mathbb{C}^{(m|n)}$. For any $\mathbf{a}\in \mathbb{C}^m$ we show the equivalence between the blocks $\Omega_{\mathbf…
The vector valued theta series of a positive-definite even lattice is a modular form for the Weil representation of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. We show that the space of cusp forms for the Weil representation is generated by such…
Wigner's unitary representation of the Lorentz group is extended to a representation of the complex orthosymplectic Lie super group OSp_C(1|2) acting on Minkowski (3,1|4)-dimensional super space essentially by Hermitean conjugation. The…
This is the first in a series of papers on type I Howe duality for finite fields, concerning the restriction of an oscillator representation of the symplectic group to a product of a symplectic and an orthogonal group. The goal of the…
We realize the Weil representation of infinite dimensional symplectic group and spinor representation of infinite-dimensional group $GL$ by linear operators in the space of symmetric functions in infinite number of variables.
In this note, we investigate the p-adic behavior of Weil numbers in the cyclotomic $\mathbb Z\_p$-extension of $\mathbb Q(\zeta\_p).$ We determlne the characteristic ideal of the quotient of semi-local units by Weil numbers in terms of the…
The Weil representation discovered by Andre Weil plays an important role in the study of the tranformation properties of theta series. In this paper, we define the Weil-Schroedinger representation of the Jacobi group and prove that the…
