Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a field $F=\mathbb{F}_q((t))$ splitting over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q((t))$. Following [KV,DR], a tamely unramified Langlands parameter $\lambda:W_F\to{}^L G(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_{\ell})$ in…

We are interested in finding an explicit estimate to the binomial sum $Q_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n} k! {n\choose k}^2 (-x)^{k}$ at $x=1$ for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$. Despite of its own interest the polynomial $Q_n(x)$ is important as the denominator in…

Following Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson, we compute the homology of truncated affine Springer fibers in the unramified case but under a purity assumption. We prove this assumption in the equivalued case. The truncation parameter is…

We survey recent developments in the study of torus equivariant motivic Chern and Hirzebruch characteristic classes of projective toric varieties, with applications to calculating equivariant Hirzebruch genera of torus-invariant Cartier…

We provide an explicit formula for the toric $h$-contribution of each cubical shelling component, and a new combinatorial model to prove Clara Chan's result on the non-negativity of these contributions. Our model allows for a variant of the…

We study a Laurent polynomial representation $V$ of the double affine Hecke algebra of type $GL_n$ for specialized parameters $t^{k+1}q^{r-1}=1$. We define a series of subrepresentations of $V$ by using a vanishing condition. For some…

We obtain a nontrivial bound on the number of solutions to the equation $$ A^{x_1} + \ldots + A^{x_\nu} = A^{x_{\nu+1}} + \ldots + A^{x_{2\nu}}, \quad 1 \le x_1, \ldots,x_{2\nu} \le \tau, $$ with a fixed $n\times n$ matrix $A$ over a finite…

Let $M$ be a representation of an acyclic quiver $Q$ over an infinite field $k$. We establish a deterministic algorithm for computing the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of $M$. The algorithm is polynomial in the dimensions of $M$, the weights…

Let $K/F$ be a finite Galois extension of number fields. It is well known that the Tchebotarev density theorem implies that an irreducible, finitely ramified $p$-adic representation $\rho$ of the absolute Galois group of $K$ is determined…

For non-negative integers $l_{1}, l_{2},\ldots, l_{n}$, we define character sums $\varphi_{(l_{1}, l_{2},\ldots, l_{n})}$ and $\psi_{(l_{1}, l_{2},\ldots, l_{n})}$ over a finite field which are generalizations of Jacobsthal and modified…

We formulate a Serre-type conjecture for n-dimensional Galois representations that are tamely ramified at p. The weights are predicted using a representation-theoretic recipe. For n = 3 some of these weights were not predicted by the…

We introduce a generalization $G^{(\alpha)}(X)$ of the truncated logarithm $\mathcal{L}_1(X) = \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}X^k/k$ in characteristic $p$, which depends on a parameter $\alpha$. The main motivation of this study is $G^{(\alpha)}(X)$ being…

We prove distributional results for mixed character sums \begin{equation*} \sum_{n\le x }\chi(n)e(n\theta), \end{equation*} for fixed $\theta\in [0,1]$ and random character $\chi \pmod q$, as well as for a fixed character $\chi$ and…

We provide a purely local computation of the (elliptic) twisted (by "transpose-inverse") character of the representation \pi=I(\1) of PGL(3) over a p-adic field induced from the trivial representation of the maximal parabolic subgroup. This…

We show how the threshold level of affine fusion, the fusion of Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) conformal field theories, fits into the Schubert calculus introduced by Gepner. The Pieri rule can be modified in a simple way to include the threshold…

Let $f$ be a smooth real function with strictly monotone first $k$ derivatives. We show that for a finite set $A$, with $|A+A|\leq K|A|$, $|2^kf(A)-(2^k-1)f(A)|\gg_k |A|^{k+1-o(1)}/K^{O_k(1)}$. We deduce several new sum-product type…

We extend our combinatorial approach of decomposing the partition function of the Potts model on finite two-dimensional lattices of size L x N to the case of toroidal boundary conditions. The elementary quantities in this decomposition are…

Let $\Lambda^{\mathbb{R}}$ denote the linear space over $\mathbb{R}$ spanned by $z^{k}$, $k \in \mathbb{Z}$. Define the real inner product (with varying exponential weights) $<\boldsymbol{\cdot},\boldsymbol{\cdot} >_{\mathscr{L}} \colon…

In this note we determine all power series $F(X)\in 1+X\F_p[[X]]$ such that $(F(X+Y))^{-1} F(X)F(Y)$ has only terms of total degree a multiple of $p$. Up to a scalar factor, they are all the series of the form $F(X)=E_p(cX)\cdot G(X^p)$ for…

We have investigated a weighted chi-square distribution of the variable $\xi$ which is a weighted sum of squared normally distributed independent variables whose weights are cosines of angles $\phi_k=2\pi k/N$, where $k \in \{0,1,...,N-1\}$…
