In this article we extend independent results of Lusztig and H\'ezard concerning the existence of irreducible characters of finite reductive groups, (defined in good characteristic and arising from simple algebraic groups), satisfying a…
We conjecture a formula for the Schur index of N=2 four-dimensional theories in the presence of boundary conditions and/or line defects, in terms of the low-energy effective Seiberg-Witten description of the system together with massive BPS…
A relation between certain irreducible character values of the hyperoctahedral group $B_n$ ($\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} \wr S_n$) and the symmetric group $S_{2n}$ was proved by F. L\"ubeck and D. Prasad in 2021. Their proof is algebraic in…
We establish the asymptotics of the joint moments of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix and its derivative for general real values of the exponents, proving a conjecture made by Hughes in 2001. Moreover, we give a…
A general setting to study a certain type of formulas, expressing characters of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ explicitly in terms of descent sets of combinatorial objects, has been developed by two of the authors. This theory is…
For arbitrary Coxeter systems, we prove that inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials satisfy a monotonicity property. This follows from the validity of Soergel's conjecture and the existence of injective morphisms between Rouquier complexes in…
This paper is devoted to the structure of the complete asymptotic expansion of the probability that a large combinatorial object is irreducible or consists of a given number of irreducible parts, where irreducibility is understood in terms…
In this paper we obtain the orthogonality relations for the supergroup U(m|n), which are remarkably different from the ones for the U(N) case. We extend our results for ordinary representations, obtained some time ago, to the case of…
We consider sequences of degrees of ordinary irreducible $S_n$-characters. We assume that the corresponding Young diagrams have rows and columns bounded by some linear function of $n$ with leading coefficient less than one. We show that any…
We develop a new method to solve the irreducible character problem for a wide class of modules over the general linear superalgebra, including all the finite-dimensional modules, by directly relating the problem to the classical…
Kerov polynomials describe normalized irreducible characters of the symmetric groups in terms of the free cumulants associated with Young diagrams. We suggest well-suited counterparts of the Kerov polynomials in spin (or projective)…
In this paper, we prove Lusztig's conjecture for finite special linear groups, i.e., we show that characteristic functions of character sheaves coincide with almost characters up to scalar constants, under the condition that the…
We generalize $N \leftrightarrow -N$ duality of dimension formulae of $SU(N)$ representations on a (class of) representations with $N$-dependent Young diagrams (which include the adjoint representation), and on eigenvalues of the Casimir…
In this paper, we obtained character formulas of irreducible unitary representations of $U(n, n+1)$ by using Howe's correspondence and the Cauchy--Harish-Chandra integral. The representations of $U(n, n+1)$ we are dealing with are obtained…
The generalized Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the general linear superalgebra are computed explicitly. Using the result we establish a one to one correspondence between the set of…
We study sums of Dirichlet characters over polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ with a prescribed number of irreducible factors. Our main results are explicit formulae for these sums in terms of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions. We also exhibit…
We give a new formula for the values of an irreducible character of the symmetric group S_n indexed by a partition of rectangular shape. Some observations and a conjecture are given concerning a generalization to arbitrary shapes.
It is a well known result that the number of irreducible representations of SU(N) on a tensor product containing k factors of a vector space V is given by the number of involutions in the symmetric group on k letters. In this paper, we…
Suppose Y is an integer homology 3-sphere, Taubes proved that the number of irreducible critical orbits of the perturbed Chern-Simons functional on Y, counted with signs, is equal to the algebraic intersection number of two character…
We prove a character sum identity for Coxeter arrangements which is a finite field analogue of Macdonald's conjecture proved by Opdam.
