In a 2015 paper we have defined a map from the set of conjugacy classes in a Weyl group W to the set of irreducible representations of W (its image parametrizes the strata of a reductive group with Weyl group W). In this paper we provide…

The set of strata of a reductive group can be viewed as an enlargement of the set of unipotent classes. In this paper the notion of distinguished unipotent class is extended to this larger set. The strata of a Weyl group are introduced and…

Let G be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field. We define a decomposition of G into finitely many strata such that each stratum is a union of conjugacy classes of fixed dimension; the strata are indexed by a set…

We define a subset of the set of special representations of a Weyl group. This subset contains at most one representation.

Let W be a Weyl group. We define a class of irreducible representations of W that we call antispecial. They are in bijection with the constructible representations of W. We define an oriented graph structure on the set of antispecial…

We define a map from the set of conjugacy classes of a Weyl group W to the representation ring of W tensored with the ring of polynomials in one variable.

Let G be a connected reductive group. We define a map from the set of unipotent classes in G to the set of conjugacy classes in the Weyl group (assuming that the characteristic is not bad). This map is a one sided inverse of a map in the…

Let $c$ be the family of irreducible representations of a Weyl group $W$ corresponding to a two-sided cell of $W$. We define a subset $A_c$ of $c$ which contains the special representation of $W$ in $c$ and is in canonical bijection with…

We define a partition of a reductive group into finitely many subsets, refining the partition of the group into strata. We state some conjectural properties of these subsets (called substrata) and verify them in some examples.

In an earlier paper by Kazhdan and the author, a map from the set of unipotent classes in a reductive connected group over C to the conjugacy classes in the Weyl group was defined. Here we present some experimental evidence for a possibly…

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraic closed field. We define a (surjective) map from the set of conjugacy classes in the Weyl group to the set of unipotent classes of G.

The special representations of a Weyl group can be regarded as the vertices of a graph with an involution i such that any edge e has the following property: either e or i(e) joins two vertices whose a-functions differ by 1.

We show how to attach to any stratum of a reductive group a (small) finite group. We also show that in the simply laced case the set of strata is in bijection with a subset of the set of almost special representations of the Weyl group.…

We compute all sections of the finite Weyl group, that satisfy the braid relations, in the case that G is an almost-simple connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field. We then demonstrate that this set of sections…

We show that, for a connected reductive algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field of zero or good characteristic, the parts, called strata, in the partition of G recently introduced by Lusztig are unions of sheets of conjugacy…

We give an apriori description of a set of irreducible representations of a Weyl group which parametrize the nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebra of a connected reductive group in arbitrary characteristic. We also answer a question of Serre…

Suppose $G$ is a connected complex semisimple group and $W$ is its Weyl group. The lifting of an element of $W$ to $G$ is semisimple. This induces a well-defined map from the set of elliptic conjugacy classes of $W$ to the set of semisimple…

Let W be a Weyl group. In my 1984 book a group was attached to any special representation of W using the theory of Springer representations. In this paper we give a new definition of this group which is purely algebraic (no use of geometry…

Let G be a connected reductive group. To any irreducible G-variety one associates a certain linear group generated by reflections called the Weyl group. Weyl groups play an important role in the study of embeddings of homogeneous spaces. We…

We introduce a class of non-commutative algebras that carry a non-commutative (geometric) cluster structure which are generated by identical copies of generalized Weyl algebras. Equivalent conditions for the finiteness of the set of the…
