In this paper we construct full support character sheaves for stably graded Lie algebras. Conjecturally these are precisely the cuspidal character sheaves. Irreducible representations of Hecke algebras associated to complex reflection…

We study the intermediate extension of the character sheaves on an adjoint group to the semi-stable locus of its wonderful compactification. We show that the intermediate extension can be described by a direct image construction. As a…

In the first part, we construct a new isomorphism between the endomorphism algebra of an induced cuspidal character sheaf and the group algebra of the relative Weyl group involved. We show it differs from the isomorphism of Lusztig by a…

In this note we study character sheaves for graded Lie algebras arising from inner automorphisms of special linear groups and Vinberg's type II classical graded Lie algebras.

Lusztig has given a construction of certain representations of reductive groups over finite local principal ideal rings of characteristic p, extending the construction of Deligne and Lusztig of representations of reductive groups over…

We continue the study of character sheaves on a not necessarily connected reductive group. We prove orthogonality formulas for certain characteristic functions.

We relate a certain category of sheaves of k-vector spaces on a complex affine Schubert variety to modules over the k-Lie algebra (for ch k>0) or to modules over the small quantum group (for ch k=0) associated to the Langlands dual root…

In recent years, the notion of characteristic polynomial of representations of Lie algebras has been widely studied. This paper provides more properties of these characteristic polynomials. For simple Lie algebras, we characterize the…

We classify the unipotent character sheaves on a fixed connected component of a reductive algebraic group under a mild hypothesis on the characteristic of the ground field.

In this paper we introduce a new ingredient, invariant systems of differential equations, to our study of character sheaves on graded Lie algebras. The character sheaves we construct in this paper, together with the ones constructed in…

Recently, a strong exponential character bound has been established in [3] for all elements $g \in \mathbf{G}^F$ of a finite reductive group $\mathbf{G}^F$ which satisfy the condition that the centraliser $C_{\mathbf{G}}(g)$ is contained in…

These notes provide a concise introduction to the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups in positive characteristic, with an emphasis on Lusztig's character formula and geometric representation theory. They are based on the…

These are slides for a talk given by the authors at the conference "Current developments and directions in the Langlands program" held in honor of Robert Langlands at the Northwestern University in May of 2008. The slides can be used as a…

For a Lie algebra L over an algebraically closed field of non-zero characteristic, every finite-dimensional L-module can be decomposed into a direct sum of submodules such that all composition factors of a summand have the same character.…

Using a general result of Lusztig, we find the decomposition into irreducibles of certain induced characters of the projective general linear group over a finite field of odd characteristic.

We develop and study a Lefschetz theory in a combinatorial category associated to a root system and derive an upper bound on the exceptional characteristics for Lusztig's formula for the simple rational characters of a reductive algebraic…

Decomposition classes provide a way of partitioning the Lie algebras of an algebraic group into equivalence classes based on the Jordan decomposition. In this paper, we investigate the decomposition classes of the Lie algebras of connected…

In order to tackle the problem of generically determining the character tables of the finite groups of Lie type $\mathbf{G}(q)$ associated to a connected reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ over $\overline{\mathbb F}_p$, Lusztig developed the…

These are expanded notes from graduate courses about Lie algebras and Chevalley groups held at the University of Stuttgart. In the 1950s Chevalley showed how linear groups over arbitrary fields could be obtained~ -- ~by a uniform procedure~…

This survey article is an introduction to some of Lusztig's work on the character theory of a finite group of Lie type $G(F_q)$, where $q$ is a power of a prime~$p$. It is partly based on two series of lectures given at the Centre Bernoulli…
