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 $G = \bfG^F$,…

We formulate and prove relative versions of several classical decompositions known in the theory of Chevalley groups over commutative rings. As an application we obtain upper estimates for the width of principal congruence subgroups in…

Polynomials and elements over finite fields exhibit closely related algebraic structures, and many properties defined for elements extend naturally to polynomials. The concepts of order and $\mathbb{F}_q$-Order for elements have been…

We determine a substantial part of the unitary representation theory of the Drinfeld double of a $q$-deformation of a compact Lie group in terms of the complexification of the compact Lie group. Using this, we show that the dual of every…

We introduce quasi-invariant polynomials for an arbitrary finite complex reflection group W. Unlike in the Coxeter case, the space Q_k of quasi-invariants of a given multiplicity is not, in general, an algebra but a module over the…

In [Frobenius1896] it was shown that many important properties of a finite group could be examined using formulas involving the character ratios of group elements, i.e., the trace of the element acting in a given irreducible representation,…

This article gives a brief introduction to $q$-special functions, i.e., $q$-analogues of the classical special functions. Here $q$ is a deformation parameter, usually $0<q<1$, where $q=1$ is the classical case. The main topics to be treated…

The use of permutation polynomials has appeared, along to their compositional inverses, as a good choice in the implementation of cryptographic systems. Hence, there has been a demand for constructions of these polynomials which…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be the finite field of characteristic $p$ containing $q = p^{r}$ elements and $f(x)=ax^{n} + x^{m}$ a binomial with coefficients in this field. If some conditions on the gcd of $n-m$ an $q-1$ are satisfied then this…

We develop explicit formulae for the eigenvalues of various invariants for highest weight irreducible representations of the quantum supergroup $U_q[gl(m|n)]$. The techniques employed make use of modified characteristic identity methods and…

This paper is a short account of the construction of a new class of the infinite-dimensional representations of the quantum groups. The examples include finite-dimensional quantum groups $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$, Yangian $Y(\mathfrak{g})$ and…

Recently, there has been considerable progress in classifying the irreducible representations of Iwahori--Hecke algebras at roots of unity. Here, we present an application of these results to $\ell$-modular Harish--Chandra series for a…

We study the Howe correspondence for unipotent representations of irreducible dual pairs $(G',G)=(\text{U}_m(\mathbb{F}_q),\text{U}_n(\mathbb{F}_q))$ and $(G',G)=(\text{Sp}_{2m}(\mathbb{F}_q),\text{O}^\epsilon_{2n}(\mathbb{F}_q))$, where…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $G$ a finite cyclic group of order $p^k$ and $p$ is an odd prime with ${\rm gcd}(q,p)=1$. In this article, we determine an explicit expression for the primitive idempotents of $\mathbb…

Suppose $\ell$ is a prime number, ${\mathbf Q}_\ell$ is the field of $\ell$-adic numbers, ${\mathbf F}_\ell$ is the finite field of $\ell$ elements, and $d$ is a positive integer. Suppose $G$ is a finite subgroup of a symplectic group…

The construction approach proposed in the previous paper Ref. 1 allows us there and in the present paper to construct at generic deformation parameter $q$ all finite--dimensional representations of the quantum Lie superalgebra…

A monic polynomial in F_q[t] of degree n over a finite field F_q of odd characteristic can be written as the sum of two irreducible monic elements in F_q[t] of degrees n and n-1 if q is larger than a bound depending only on n. The main tool…

Let $q>2$, and let $a$ and $b$ be two elements of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $a\ne 0$. Carlitz represented the transposition $(0a)$ by a polynomial of degree $(q-2)^3$. In this note, we represent the transposition $(ab)$ by a…

We determine the group of linear transformations on a vector space $V$ that preserve a polynomial function $f$ on $V$ for several interesting pairs $(V,f)$, using the theory of semisimple algebraic groups.

For given linear action of a finite group on a lattice and a positive integer q, we prove that the mod q permutation representation is a quasi-polynomial in q. Additionally, we establish several results that can be considered as mod…
