Let $G_2(q)$ be the Chevalley group of type $G_2$ defined over a finite field with q=p^n elements, where p is a prime number and $n$ is a positive integer. In this paper, we determine when the restriction of an absolutely irreducible…

We consider a constructive modification of quantum-mechanical formalism. Replacement of a general unitary group by unitary representations of finite groups makes it possible to reproduce quantum formalism without loss of its empirical…

We propose a mutation formula for the general rank from a principal component ${\rm PC}(\delta)$ of representations to another one ${\rm PC}(\epsilon)$ for a quiver with potential. We give sufficient conditions for the formula to hold. In…

Let G be a semisimple almost simple algebraic group defined and split over a nonarchimedean local field K and let V be a unipotent representation of G(K) (for example, an Iwahori-spherical representation). We calculate the character of V at…

Let ${\mathbb F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic two and ${\mathbb F}_q(X_1,...,X_n)$ a rational function field. We use matrix methods to obtain explicit transcendental bases of the invariant subfields of orthogonal groups and…

Let $\Bbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and let $p=\text{char}\,\Bbb F_q$. It was conjectured that for integers $e\ge 2$ and $1\le a\le pe-2$, the polynomial $X^{q-2}+X^{q^2-2}+\cdots+X^{q^a-2}$ is a permutation polynomial of…

We describe the primitive central idempotents of the group algebra over a number field of finite monomial groups. We give also a description of the Wedderburn decomposition of the group algebra over a number field for finite strongly…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group defined over $\mathbb F_q$. Fix an integer $M\geq 2$, and consider the power map $x\mapsto x^M$ on $G$. We denote the image of $G(\mathbb F_q)$ under this map by $G(\mathbb F_q)^M$ and estimate what…

Chevalley's theorem and it's converse, the Sheppard-Todd theorem, assert that finite reflection groups are distinguished by the fact that the ring of invariant polynomials is freely generated. We show that in the Euclidean case, a weaker…

We consider the linear vector space formed by the elements of the finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q=p^r$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$. Let ${a_1,\ldots,a_r}$ be a basis of this space. Then the elements $x$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$ have a unique…

In this paper properties of the quantum supermatrices in the quantum supergroup $GL_{p,q}(1|1)$ are discussed. It is shown that any element of $GL_{p,q}(1|1)$ can be expressed as the exponential of a matrix of non-commuting elements, like…

It is well known that there exists a significant equivalence between the vector space $\mathbb{F}_{q}^n$ and the finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, and many scholars often view them as the same in most contexts. However, the precise…

Answering a question of Frank Calegari, we extend some of our earlier results on dimension of fixed point spaces of elements in irreducible linear groups. We consider characteristic polynomials rather than just fixed spaces.

We construct quantization of semisimple conjugacy classes of the exceptional group $G=G_2$ along with and by means of their exact representations in highest weight modules of the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$. With every point $t$ of a…

We use the idea of generic extensions to investigate the correspondence between the isomorphism classes of nilpotent representations of a cyclic quiver and the orbits in the corresponding representation varieties. We endow the set $\cal M$…

We study the category $\textrm{Rep}(Q,\mathbb{F}_1)$ of representations of a quiver $Q$ over "the field with one element", denoted by $\mathbb{F}_1$, and the Hall algebra of $\textrm{Rep}(Q,\mathbb{F}_1)$. Representations of $Q$ over…

2-Dim quantum Poincare` Group E_q(1,1) at roots of unity, its dual U_q(e(1,1)) and some of its homogeneous spaces are introduced. Invariant integrals on E_q(1,1) and its invariant discrete subgroup E(1,1\mid p) are constructed.…

We introduce a class of permutation polynomial over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ that can be written in the form $\frac{L(x)}{x^{q+1}}$ or $\frac{L(x^{q+1})}x$ for some $q$-linear polynomial $L$ over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$. Specifically, we present those…

A $\mathbf{GL}$-variety is a (typically infinite dimensional) variety modeled on the polynomial representation theory of the general linear group. In previous work, we studied these varieties in characteristic 0. In this paper, we obtain…
