We completely classify all neutral or costandard elements in the lattice $\mathbb{MON}$ of all monoid varieties. Further, we prove that an arbitrary upper-modular element of $\mathbb{MON}$ except the variety of all monoids is either a…

In some recent work, Lusztig outlined a generalisation of the construction of Deligne and Lusztig to reductive groups over finite rings coming from the ring of integers in a local field, modulo some power of the maximal ideal. Lusztig…

Let $G$ be a connected, simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field. There is a partition of the wonderful compactification $\bar{G}$ of $G$ into finite many $G$-stable pieces, which were introduced by Lusztig. In this paper,…

Let $\mathbb{H}\trianglelefteq\mathbb{G}$ be a closed normal subgroup of a locally compact quantum group. We introduce a strictly positive group-like element affiliated with $L^{\infty}(\mathbb{G})$ that, roughly, measures the failure of…

L\'evai and Pyber proposed the following as a conjecture: Let $G$ be a profinite group such that the set of solutions of the equation $x^n=1$ has positive Haar measure. Then $G$ has an open subgroup $H$ and an element $t$ such that all…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\mathrm{Irr}(G)$ denote the set of irreducible complex characters of $G$. An element $x$ of $G$ is said to be vanishing, if for some $\chi$ in $\mathrm{Irr}(G)$, we have $\chi(x)=0$. Also the element $x$…

For any connected complex reductive group $G$ and element $z$ of its Weyl group $W$, we use work of Lusztig and Abreu-Nigro to compute the graded $W$-character of the intersection cohomology of any closed Lusztig variety for $z$ over the…

Let $F$ be a field with at least three elements and $G$ a locally finite group. This paper aims to show that if either $F$ is algebraically closed or the characteristic of $F$ is positive, then an element in the group algebra $FG$ is a…

We consider a family of finitely presented groups, called Universal Left Invertible Element (or ULIE) groups, that are universal for existence of one--sided invertible elements in a group ring K[G], where K is a field or a division ring. We…

We show that the sheets for a connected reductive algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field in good characteristic acting on itself by conjugation are in bijection with G-conjugacy classes of triples (M, Z(M)^\circ t, O) where M…

Lusztig conjectured that the almost characters of a finite reductive group are up to a scalar the same as the characteristic functions of the rational character sheaves defined on the corresponding algebraic group. We propose in this paper…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $\mathbf{k}$, and let Lie$(G)$ be its associated Lie algebra. In his series of papers on unipotent elements in small characteristic, Lusztig defined a…

Let $\bfG$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over $\F_q$, where $q$ is a power of a prime $p$ that is good for $\bfG$. Let $F$ be the Frobenius morphism associated with the $\FF_q$-structure on $\bfG$ and set $G = \bfG^F$,…

Given a reductive group $G$, we give a description of the abelian category of $G$-equivariant $D$-modules on $\mathfrak{g}=\mathrm{Lie}(G)$, which specializes to Lusztig's generalized Springer correspondence upon restriction to the…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \ge 0$. A closed subgroup $H$ of $G$ is called $G$-completely reducible ($G$-cr) if whenever $H$ is contained in a parabolic…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of prime characteristic not $2$, whose Lie algebra is denoted $\mathfrak{g}$. We call a subvariety $\mathfrak{X}$ of the nilpotent cone $N \subset \mathfrak{g}$…

Let G be a special linear group over the real, the complex or the quaternion, or a special unitary group. In this note, we determine all special unipotent representations of G in the sense of Arthur and Barbasch-Vogan, and show in…

Let G be a reductive group over a commutative ring R. We say that G has isotropic rank >=n, if every normal semisimple reductive R-subgroup of G contains (G_m)^n. We prove that if G has isotropic rank >=1 and R is a regular domain…

An Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is an Engel element precisely when we…

Let G be an isotropic reductive algebraic group over a commutative ring R. Assume that the elementary subgroup E(R) of group of points G(R) is correctly defined. Then E(R) is perfect, except for the well-known cases of a split reductive…
