We study the weight part of Serre's conjecture for generic $n$-dimensional mod $p$ Galois representations. We first generalize Herzig's conjecture to the case where the field is ramified at $p$ and prove the weight elimination direction of…

As a step to establish the blockwise Alperin weight conjecture for all finite groups, we verify the inductive blockwise Alperin weight condition introduced by Navarro--Tiep and Sp\"ath for simple groups of Lie type $\mathsf A$, split or…

Let $p$ be a prime, $k$ an algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_p$ and $\Gamma$ the Galois group ${\rm Gal}(k/\mathbb{F}_p)$. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a finite category and $\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{C}}$ the $p$-orbit category of $\mathcal{C}$ defined…

In this paper characters of the normaliser of $d$-split Levi subgroups in $\mathrm {SL}_n(q)$ and $\mathrm {SU}_n(q)$ are parametrized with a particular focus on the Clifford theory between the Levi subgroup and its normalizer.These results…

In this note, we initiate the study of $\mathcal{F}$-weights for an $\ell$-local compact group $\mathcal{F}$ over a discrete $\ell$-toral group $S$ with discrete torus $T$. Motivated by Alperin's Weight Conjecture for simple groups of…

The so-called "local-global" conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups relate the representation theory of $G$ to that of certain proper subgroups, such as the normalizers of particular $p$-groups. Recent results by several…

We prove the Alperin-McKay Conjecture for all $p$-blocks of finite groups with metacyclic, minimal non-abelian defect groups. These are precisely the metacyclic groups whose derived subgroup have order $p$. In the special case $p=3$, we…

We establish an entropy rigidity theorem for Hitchin representations of all geometrically finite Fuchsian groups which generalizes a theorem of Potrie and Sambarino for Hitchin representations of closed surface groups. In the process, we…

We show that the modular Serre weights of a sufficiently generic mod $p$ Galois representation of an unramified $p$-adic field are themselves generic, and give precise bounds on the genericity, by extending previous work of Emerton, Gee and…

The longstanding Alperin weight conjecture and its blockwise version have been reduced to simple groups recently by Navarro, Tiep, Spaeth and Koshitani. Thus, to prove this conjecture, it suffices to verify the corresponding inductive…

Ergodic theory includes several notions of entropy for probability-preserving actions of countable groups. These include Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy based on F\o lner sequences for amenable groups, entropy defined using a random ordering of…

Sp\"ath showed that the Alperin-McKay conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups holds if the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay condition holds for all finite simple groups. In a previous article, we showed that the…

We prove the weight elimination direction of the Serre weight conjectures as formulated by Herzig for forms of $U(n)$ which are compact at infinity and split at places dividing $p$ in generic situations. That is, we show that all modular…

In a previous paper, we stated and motivated counting conjectures for fusion systems that are purely local analogues of several local-to-global conjectures in the modular representation theory of finite groups. Here we verify some of these…
