The lattice of subgroups of a group is the subject of numerous results revolving around the central theme of decomposing the group into "chunks" (subquotients) that can then be compared to one another in various ways. Examples of results in…

A $GL_d$-pseudocharacter is a function from a group $\Gamma$ to a ring $k$ satisfying polynomial relations which make it "look like" the character of a representation. When $k$ is an algebraically closed field, Taylor proved that…

Let C be a smooth, projective and geometrically integral curve defined over a finite field F. For each closed point P of C, let R be the ring of functions that are regular outside P, and let K be the completion at P of the function field of…

The classical Pieri formula gives a combinatorial rule for decomposing the product of a Schur function and a complete homogeneous symmetric polynomial as a linear combination of Schur functions with integer coefficients. We give a Pieri…

We develop a theory of levels for irreducible representations of symmetric groups of degree $n$ analogous to the theory of levels for finite classical groups. A key property of level is that the level of a character, provided it is not too…

The unitary principal series representations of $G=GL(n,\mathbb{C})$ induced from a character of the maximal parabolic subgroup $P=(GL(1,\mathbb{C})\times GL(n-1,\mathbb{C}))\ltimes\mathbb{C}^{n-1}$ attain the minimal Gelfand--Kirillov…

We study the algebra of invariant representative functions over the N-fold Cartesian product of copies of a compact Lie group G modulo the action of conjugation by the diagonal subgroup. We construct a basis of invariant representative…

There exist a number of well known multiplicative generating functions for series of Schur functions. Amongst these are some related to the dual Cauchy identity whose expansion coefficients are rather simple, and in some cases periodic in…

This paper consists of three interconnected parts. Parts I,III study the relationship between the cohomology of a reductive group and that of a Levi subgroup. For example, we provide a necessary condition, arising from Kazhdan-Lusztig…

We establish a result of Bombieri-Vinogradov type for the Dirichlet coefficients at prime ideals of the standard $L$-function associated to a self-dual cuspidal automorphic representation $\pi$ of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over a number field $F$…

Let ${\cal M}_{g,n}$ and ${\cal H}_{g,n}$, for $2g-2+n>0$, be, respectively, the moduli stack of $n$-pointed, genus $g$ smooth curves and its closed substack consisting of hyperelliptic curves. Their topological fundamental groups can be…

Let $\L_m$ be the scheme of the laws defined by the identities of Jacobi on $\K^m$. The local studies of an algebraic Lie algebra $\g=\mathrm{R}\ltimes\n$ in $\L_m$ and its nilpotent part $\n$ in the scheme $\L_n^{\mathrm{R}}$ of…

Algebraic Combinatorics originated in Algebra and Representation Theory, studying their discrete objects and integral quantities via combinatorial methods which have since developed independent and self-contained lives and brought us some…

R. Stanley has found a nice combinatorial formula for characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group of rectangular shape. Then, he has given a conjectural generalisation for any shape. Here, we will prove this formula…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite subgroup of SU(2) and let $\widetilde {\Gamma} = \{\gamma_i\mid i\in J\}$ be the unitary dual of $\Gamma$. The unitary dual of SU(2) may be written $\{\pi_n\mid n\in \Bbb Z_+\}$ where $dim \pi_n = n+1$. For $n\in…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group---possibly non-connected---over a field $k$ and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. If $G= GL_n$ then there is a degeneration process for obtaining from $H$ a completely reducible subgroup $H'$ of $G$; one…

The central object of study is a formal power series that we call the content series, a symmetric function involving an arbitrary underlying formal power series $f$ in the contents of the cells in a partition. In previous work we have shown…

In a recent paper, the authors introduced a new basis of the ring of symmetric functions which evaluate to the irreducible characters of the symmetric group at roots of unity. The structure coefficients for this new basis are the stable…

In the context of mathematical hydrodynamics, we consider the group theory structure which underlies the ABC-flow introduced by Beltrami, Arnold and Childress. Beltrami equation is the eigenstate equation for the first order…

Let $p\ge 5$ be a prime and let $n$ be a natural number. In this article we describe the irreducible constituents of the induced characters $\phi\big\uparrow^{\mathfrak{S}_n}$ for arbitrary linear characters $\phi$ of a Sylow $p$-subgroup…
