Let G be a possibly disconnected reductive group over a finite field with Frobenius map F. The main result of this paper is that the characteristic functions af "admissible complexes" A on G such that F^*A is isomorphic to A form a basis of…

We characterize charmenability among arithmetic groups and deduce dichotomy statements pertaining normal subgroups, characters, dynamics, representations and associated operator algebras. We do this by studying the stationary dynamics on…

We characterize relative notions of syndetic and thick sets using, what we call, "derived" sets along ultrafilters. Manipulations of derived sets is a characteristic feature of algebra in the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification and its…

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 give a group theoretic proof of the splitting of sharply 2-transitive groups of characteristic 3.

We prove a character sum identity for Coxeter arrangements which is a finite field analogue of Macdonald's conjecture proved by Opdam.

In this paper we study characters on special linear groups SL_n(R), where R is either an infinite field or the localization of an order in a number field. We give several applications to the theory of measure preserving actions,…

A subgroup $H$ of a topological abelian group $X$ is said to be characterized by a sequence $\mathbf v =(v_n)$ of characters of $X$ if $H=\{x\in X:v_n(x)\to 0\ \text{in}\ \mathbb T\}$. We study the basic properties of characterized…

We discuss special properties of the spaces of characters and positive definite functions, as well as their associated dynamics, for arithmetic groups of product type. Axiomatizing these properties, we define the notions of charmenability…

In this PhD thesis we discuss methods of recognizing finite groups by the structure of normalizers of certain 3-subgroups. We explain a method for characterizing groups using character theoretic and block theoretic methods and we use these…

In this paper, we construct compactifications of $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$-character varieties of $n$-punctured projective line and study the boundary divisor of the compactifications. This study is motivated by the conjecture for the…

We show that Lusztig's theories of two-sided cells and non-unipotent representations of a reductive group over a finite field are compatible with the V. Lafforgue's automorphic-to-galois direction of the Langlands correspondence. To do…

We generalize a result by Cunningham-Salmasian to a Mackey-type formula for the compact restriction of a semisimple perverse sheaf produced by parabolic induction from a character sheaf, under certain conditions on the parahoric group used…

This is a preliminary version of the first chapter of a book project on the character theory of finite groups of Lie type. It provides the foundations from the general theory of reductive algebraic groups over a finite field.

We study a class of perverse sheaves on some spherical varieties which include the strata of the De Concini-Procesi completion of a symmetric variety. This is a generalization of the theory of (parabolic) character sheaves.

We define a compactification of symmetric spaces of noncompact type, seen as spaces of isometry classes of marked lattices, analogous to the Thurston compactification of the Teichm\"uller space, and we show that it is equivariantly…

Organising the relevant literature and by letting statistical convergence play the main role in the theory of compactness, a variant of compactness called statistical compactness has been achieved. As in case of sequential compactness, one…

Adapting a claim of M. Kracht, we establish a characterization of the typable partial applicative algebras.

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over $\mathbf{C}$. We define a canonical compactification $X^{\!\urcorner}$ of the complex analytic space $X(\mathbf{C})$ by adding a Berkovich space over a trivially valued field at the boundary. The…
