In this paper we provide a full account of the Weil conjectures including Deligne's proof of the conjecture about the eigenvalues of the Frobenius endomorphism. Section 1 is an introduction into the subject. Our exposition heavily relies on…
I attempted to write the full translation of this article to make the remarkable proof of Pierre Deligne available to a greater number of people. Overviews of the proofs can be found elsewhere. I especially recommend the notes of James…
MSc thesis written under the supervision of Dr. J. Pilz (Klagenfurt University) and Dr. W. Mueller (Linz University) during the FWF Project 'Optimal design of correlated random fields'.
These notes contain a revisit to the matrix construction of the Weil representation by the author in the Journal of Algebra in 1972.
These are the notes of some lectures given by the author for a workshop held at TIFR, Mumbai in December, 2011, giving an exposition of the Deligne-Lusztig theory.
These are notes for my Takagi lecture at the University of Tokyo in November, 2016. I survey what is known about simple modules for reductive algebraic groups. The emphasis is on characteristic p>0 and Lusztig's character formula. I explain…
In this paper, proof of the {\it Kurlberg-Rudnick supremum conjecture} for the quantum Hannay-Berry model is presented. This conjecture was stated in P. Kurlberg's lectures at Bologna 2001 and Tel-Aviv 2003. The proof is a primer…
These notes are based on a series of lectures given by the author at the Centre Bernoulli (EPFL) in July 2016. They aim at illustrating the importance of the mod-$\ell$ cohomology of Deligne--Lusztig varieties in the modular representation…
This is the author's Habilitation which took place at University of Essen on July 11, 1993. The manuscript contains two parts. The first one is devoted to the author's combinatorial construction of mirrors of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in…
This is the author's 2004 Master's thesis at Iowa State University, done under the supervision of Roger D. Maddux. It provides a background in relation algebras. Three results from the literature are demonstrated in full: (i.) RRA is a…
The Weil representation is a particularly significant linear representation of the metaplectic group, used in the study of theta correspondence. In this paper, I introduce a derived category version of the Weil representation in the local…
This is a translation of the diploma thesis of Thomas Br\"ustle, Darstellungsk\"ocher der erblichen Algebren vom Typ $\tilde{A}_n$, written in German, at the University of Zurich, August 1990. Supervisor: P. Gabriel. Translated by K. Baur,…
These lecture notes were prepared for the workshop ``Algebraic Geometry: Presentations by Young Researchers'' in Snowbird, Utah, July 2004, and for the autumn school in Lukecin, Poland, September 2004. In six lectures I attempted to present…
These are lecture notes for a one semester introductory course I gave at Indiana University. The goal was to make this exposition as clear and elementary as possible. A particular emphasis is given on examples involving SU(1,1). These notes…
We give yet another proof of the Riemann hypothesis for smooth projective varieties over a finite field (Deligne's theorem), by reducing to the hypersurface case. The latter was established by N. Katz via an elementary argument. A reduction…
In 1979 Lusztig proposed a conjectural construction of supercuspidal representations of reductive p-adic groups, which is similar to the well known construction of Deligne and Lusztig in the setting of finite reductive groups. We present a…
The statement of the Riemann hypothesis makes sense for all global fields, not just the rational numbers. For function fields, it has a natural restatement in terms of the associated curve. Weil's work on the Riemann hypothesis for curves…
This is an extended abstract of my talk at the Oberwolfach Workshop "Representation Theory of Quivers and Finite-Dimensional Algebras" (February 12 - February 18, 2023 ). It is based on a joint work with R. Bennett-Tennenhaus…
These are the notes from a series of lectures the author gave at Harvard University in the Fall of 1994. The goal of these lectures is to give a self-contained exposition of recent result of Cherednik (\cite{C6}), who proved Macdonald's…
These notes contain an introduction to proofs of Farrell-Jones Conjecture for some groups and are based on talks given in Ohio, Oxford, Berlin, Shanghai, M\"unster and Oberwolfach in 2011 and 2012.
