We consider the variation of spherical characters in families. We formulate conjectures for the rationality and meromorphic property of spherical characters. As an example, we establish these conjectures in the unitary Gan-Gross-Prasad…

A general proposition is proved relating multiplicities (of restriction of a representation of a group to a subgroup) under basechange, and used to calculate some multiplicities for cuspidal representations which become principal series…

We propose and study a variation of the classical isomorphism problem for group rings in the context of projective representations. We formulate several weaker conditions following from our notion and give all logical connections between…

For a differential field $F$ having an algebraically closed field of constants, we analyze the structure of Picard-Vessiot extensions of $F$ whose differential Galois groups are unipotent algebraic groups and apply these results to study…

Using a general result of Lusztig, we find the decomposition into irreducibles of certain induced characters of the projective general linear group over a finite field of odd characteristic.

In an earlier paper, we considered several restriction problems in the representation theory of classical groups over local and global fields. Assuming the Langlands-Vogan parameterization of irreducible representations, we formulated…

Given a connected reductive group $\tilde{G}$ over a finite field $k$, and a semisimple $k$-automorphism $\varepsilon$ of $\tilde{G}$ of finite order, let $G$ denote the connected part of the group of $\varepsilon$-fixed points. Then there…

The twisted Drinfeld double (or quasi-quantum double) of a finite group with a 3-cocycle is identified with a certain twisted groupoid algebra. The groupoid is the loop (or inertia) groupoid of the original group and the twisting is shown…

We address the problem of computing in the group of $\ell^k$-torsion rational points of the jacobian variety of algebraic curves over finite fields, with a view toward computing modular representations.

In this paper, we compute the multiplicities of tensor products of almost unipotent characters and Deligne Lusztig characters of a finite reductive group $G^F$, and these multiplicities are related to the ring structure of the complex…

We study the gerbal representations of a finite group $G$ or, equivalently, module categories over Ostrik's category $Vec_G^\alpha$ for a 3-cocycle $\alpha$. We adapt Bartlett's string diagram formalism to this situation to prove that the…

Higher Deligne-Lusztig representations are virtual smooth representations of parahoric subgroups in a $p$-adic group. They are natural analogs of classical Deligne-Lusztig representations of reductive groups over finite fields. The most…

This paper announces results on the behavior of some important algebraic and topological invariants --- Euler characteristic, arithmetic genus, and their intersection homology analogues; the signature, etc. --- and their associated…

In this paper we introduce a family of Deligne--Lusztig type varieties attached to connected reductive groups over quotients of discrete valuation rings, naturally generalising the higher Deligne--Lusztig varieties and some constructions…

We study highest weight representations of shifted Yangians over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. In particular, we classify the finite dimensional irreducible representations and explain how to compute their…

We discuss a practical algorithm to compute parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. As an application we compute Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials which are needed to evaluate a character formula for reductive groups due to Lusztig. Some…

In this article, we study deformations of conjugate self-dual Galois representations. The study has two folds. First, we prove an R=T type theorem for a conjugate self-dual Galois representation with coefficients in a finite field,…

Deep level Deligne--Lusztig representations, which are natural analogues of classical Deligne--Lusztig representations, recently play an important role in geometrization of irreducible supercuspidals of $p$-adic groups. In this paper, we…

There are many formulas that express interesting properties of a finite group G in terms of sums over its characters. For estimating these sums, one of the most salient quantities to understand is the character ratio trace(\pi(g)) /…
