We give another proof of a theorem of D. Prasad (Theorem 2, \textit{Israel J. Math.} 2016), which is also a classical result of Littlewood--Richardson (Theorem VI, \textit{Q. J. Math.} 1934). For integers $m,n \ge 2$, this result calculates…

In this note, we formulate an observation that "almost all" irreducible ordinary characters of finite groups of Lie type remain irreducible when restricted to the derived subgroups. To see this, key ingredients are some asymptotic results…

For a finite group $G$, we denote by $c(G)$, the minimal degree of faithful representation of $G$ by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field $\mathbb{C}$. For an irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, the codegree of $\chi$ is…

We make a study of unipotent elements in a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field with emphasis on the case where the characteristic is a bad prime. We try to see how much of the theory of Dynkin-Kostant extends to…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a totally real field $F$ which is compact modulo center at archimedean places. We find congruences modulo an arbitrary power of p between the space of arbitrary automorphic forms on $G(\mathbb…

A cocycle $\Omega: P \times G \to H$ taking values in a Lie group $H$ for a free right action of $G$ on $P$ defines a principal bundle $Q$ with the structure group $H$ over $P/G.$ The Chern character of a vector bundle associated to $Q$…

Let G be a complex reductive group and D a finite subset of a compact Riemann surface X. It was shown in [BJ] that the moduli space of G-characters of the complement of D in X has a natural Poisson structure. We show that the moduli space…

In this article we formulate and prove the main theorems of the theory of character sheaves on unipotent groups over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. In particular, we show that every admissible pair for such a group G…

To a finite dimensional representation of a complex Lie group $G$, an associative algebra of adjoint covariant polynomial maps from the direct sum of $m$ copies of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of $G$ into an algebra of complex matrices is…

We show that a connected split reductive group G over a field of characteristic 0 is uniquely determined up to isomorphism by specifying a maximal torus T of G, the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible representations of G, and the…

If a group $G$ is $\pi$-separable, where $\pi$ is a set of primes, the set of irreducible characters $\operatorname{B}_{\pi}(G) \cup \operatorname{B}_{\pi'}(G)$ can be defined. In this paper, we prove that there are variants of some…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over the complex numbers and let $T\subset G$ be a maximal torus. For any $t\in T$ of finite order and any irreducible representation $V(\lambda)$ of $G$ of highest weight $\lambda$, we determine the…

For a homomorphism f: A --> B of commutative rings, let D(A,B) denote Ker[Pic(A) --> Pic(B)]. Let k be a field and assume that A is a f.g. k-algebra. We prove a number of finiteness results for D(A,B). Here are four of them. 1: Suppose B is…

We classify all finite groups $G$ which possesses an element $x\in G$ such that every irreducible character of $G$ takes a root of unity value at $x$.

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $k$ be a sufficiently large finite field. Let $R(G)$ denote the character ring of $G$ (i.e. the Grothendieck ring of the category of ${\mathbb{C}}G$-modules). We study the structure and the representations…

We study rational Cherednik algebras over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We first prove several general results about category O, and then focus on rational Cherednik algebras associated to the general and special…

We give characterizations of the center, of conjugated and of commuting elements in a fundamental group of a graph of group. We deduce various results : on the one hand we give a sufficient condition for the center, the centralizers, and…

We establish a character formula for indecomposable tilting modules for connected reductive groups in characteristic p in terms of p-Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, for p>h the Coxeter number. Using results of Andersen, one may deduce a…

For tame arbitrary-length toral, also called positive regular, supercuspidal representations of a simply connected and semisimple $p$-adic group $G$, constructed as per Adler-Yu, we determine which components of their restriction to a…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Denoting by ${\rm{cd}}(G)$ the set of the degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$, we consider the {\it character degree graph} of $G$: this is the (simple, undirected) graph whose vertices are the…
