We reinterpret algebraic de Rham cohomology for a possibly singular complex variety X as sheaf cohomology in the site of smooth schemes over X with Voevodsky's h-topology. Our results extend to the algebraic de Rham complex as well. Our…

We study the asymptotic behavior of parabolic type semigroups acting on the unit disk as well as those acting on the right half-plane. We use the asymptotic behavior to investigate the local geometry of the semigroup trajectories near the…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power, $n > 1$, and let $P$ denote a maximal parabolic subgroup of $GL_n(q)$ with Levi subgroup $GL_{n-1}(q) \times GL_1(q)$. We restrict the odd-degree irreducible characters of $GL_n(q)$ to $P$ to discover a…

We show that, for pairs of hyperbolic toral automorphisms on the $2$-torus, the points with dense forward orbits under one map and nondense forward orbits under the other is a dense, uncountable set. The pair of maps can be noncommuting. We…

This article is based on lectures given by the authors in 2005 and 2006. Our first goal is to present an introduction to the orbit method with an emphasis on the character theory of finite nilpotent groups. The second goal (motivated by a…

We find the automorphism group of the moduli space of parabolic bundles on a smooth curve (with fixed determinant and system of weights). This group is generated by: automorphisms of the marked curve, tensoring with a line bundle, taking…

We show that the hypercohomology of most character twists of perverse sheaves on a complex abelian variety vanishes in all non-zero degrees. As a consequence we obtain a vanishing theorem for constructible sheaves and a relative vanishing…

In this note a combinatorial formula related to the symmetric group is generalized to an arbitrary finite Weyl group.

Let G|V, G connected, reductive over C, be a stable polar representation in the sense of [DK], satisfying some mild additional hypotheses. Given a G-equivariant rank one local system L on the general fiber of the quotient map f : V --> V/G,…

This paper introduces the notion of prestacks of Tate type and studies natural geometric conditions on them. We also develop a formalism of Tate-coherent sheaves and define a dualizing gerbe for Tate schemes locally almost of finite type.

We study the local cohomology modules H^i_B(R) for a reduced monomial ideal B in a polynomial ring R=k[X_1,...,X_n]. We consider a grading on R which is coarser than the Z^n-grading such that each component of H^i_B(R) is finite dimensional…

We prove that finite groups have the same complex character tables iff the group algebras are twisted forms of each other as Drinfel'd quasi-bialgebras or iff there is non-associative bi-Galois algebra over these groups. The interpretations…

We construct a supercharacter theory for the group of invertible elements of a reduced algebra. For the case of the triangular group, we obtain the formula for values of supercharacters on superclasses.

Character groups of Hopf algebras appear in a variety of mathematical contexts such as non-commutative geometry, renormalisation of quantum field theory, numerical analysis and the theory of regularity structures for stochastic partial…

In this paper, we shall recall and arrange the relationship between hyperbolic elements and parabolic subalgebras at first. And then, we shall classify all the compatible parabolic subalgebras containing a $\tau$-stable Borel subalgebra for…

We study character rings of quasireductive Lie superalgebras and give a new proof of the Sergeev-Veselov theorem describing the character rings of finite-dimensional Kac-Moody superalgebras.

For a finite dimensional vector space V of dimension n, we consider the incidence correspondence (or partial flag variety) X in P(V) x P(V*), parametrizing pairs consisting of a point and a hyperplane containing it. We completely…

Let $\rm E/\rm F$ be an unramified quadratic extension of local non archimedean fields of characteristic 0. Let $\underline{H}$ be an algebraic reductive group, defined and split over $\rm F$. We assume that the split connected component of…

Cohomological invariants of twisted wild character varieties as constructed by Boalch and Yamakawa are derived from enumerative Calabi-Yau geometry and refined Chern-Simons invariants of torus knots. Generalizing the untwisted case, the…

We consider parahoric Bruhat-Tits group schemes over a smooth projective curve and torsors under them. If the characteristic of the ground field is either zero or positive but not too small and the generic fiber is absolutely simple and…
