An explicit formula for the canonical bilinear form on the Grothendieck ring of the Lie supergroup $GL(n,m)$ is given. As an application we get an algorithm for the decomposition Euler characters in terms of characters of irreducible…

Let $\mathcal O_p$ denote the characteristic $p>0$ version of the ordinary category $\mathcal O$ for a semisimple complex Lie algebra. In this paper we give some (formal) character formulas in $\mathcal O_p$. First we concentrate on the…

A general setting to study a certain type of formulas, expressing characters of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ explicitly in terms of descent sets of combinatorial objects, has been developed by two of the authors. This theory is…

We investigate a beautiful conjecture of T. Wilde on character values and element orders of finite groups. We reduce it to a statement on nearly simple groups that can be checked ``prime by prime". For these groups, we show that a strong…

We restrict the possibilities for the character degrees of $p$-groups $G$ satisfying $|G:G'| = p^2$. E.g. if $G$ is of maximal class and has an irreducible character of degree $> p$, then it has such a character of degree at most…

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.…

We construct the supercharacter theory for the finite groups of triangular type. Its special case is the supercharacter theory for algebra groups of P.Diaconis and I.M.Isaacs. The supercharacter analog of the A.A. Kirillov formula for…

C. Andre and N. Yan introduced the idea of a supercharacter theory to give a tractable substitute for character theory in wild groups such as the unipotent uppertriangular group $U_n(F_q)$. In this theory superclasses are certain unions of…

In this paper we describe the characters of irreducible objects in category O for the rational Cherednik algebra associated to GL_2(F_p) over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p, for any value of the parameter t and…

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

We generalize the character formulas for multiplicities of irreducible constituents from group theory to semigroup theory using Rota's theory of M\"obius inversion. The technique works for a large class of semigroups including: inverse…

A parametrization of irreducible unitary representations associated with the regular adjoint orbits of a hyperspecial compact subgroup of a reductive group over a non-dyadic non-archimedean local filed is presented. The parametrization is…

We consider the generalized character $\Psi_{1,p,G}$ of a finite group $G$ which vanishes on all $p$-singular elements of $G$ and whose value at each $p$-regular $y \in G$ is the number of $p$-elements of $C_{G}(y)$. We conjecture that this…

In this work, we generalize the notion of character for 2-representations of finite 2-groups. The properties of 2-characters bear strong similarities to those classical characters of finite groups, including conjugation invariance,…

We prove that certain classical groups $G\subseteq {\rm GL}(d,\mathbb{R}^d)$ serve to characterize ordinary polynomials in $d$ real variables as elements of finite-dimensional subspaces of $C(\mathbb{R}^d)$ that are invariant by changes of…

Let G be an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. In this paper we restate our conjecture from 1979 on the characters of irreducible modular representations of G so that it…

We provide an elementary and self-contained derivation of formulae for products and ratios of characteristic polynomials from classical groups using classical results due to Weyl and Littlewood.

The integral formulae pertaining to the unitary group $\mathsf{U}(d)$ have been comprehensively reviewed, yielding fresh results and innovative proofs. Central to the derivation of these formulae lies the employment of Schur-Weyl duality, a…

In a previous work, the second-named author gave a complete description of the action of automorphisms on the ordinary irreducible characters of the finite symplectic groups. We generalise this in two directions. Firstly, using work of the…

In an earlier paper, we considered several restriction problems in the representation theory of classical groups over local and global fields. Assuming the Langlands-Vogan parameterization of irreducible representations, we formulated…
