From the cohomological point of view the symplectomorphism group $Sympl (M)$ of a symplectic manifold is `` tamer'' than the diffeomorphism group. The existence of invariant polynomials in the Lie algebra $\frak {sympl }(M)$, the symplectic…

For finite Lie algebras, it is shown that characters can be defined first for Weyl orbits and then for irreducible representations. For $A_N$ Lie algebras, weight multiplicities can then be calculated by only stating that characters are…

Starting from some linear algebraic data (a Weyl-group invariant bilinear form) and some arithmetic data (a bilinear Steinberg symbol), we construct a cover of a Kac-Moody group generalizing the work of Matsumoto. Specializing our…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold endowed with an isometric action of a compact Lie group. The method of the Witten deformation is used to compute the virtual representation-valued equivariant index of a transversally elliptic, first…

We produce a sequence of finite dimensional representations of the fundamental group $\pi_1(S)$ of a closed surface where all simple closed curves act with finite order, but where each non--simple closed curve eventually acts with infinite…

We compare the dimensions of the irreducible Sp(2g,K)-modules over a field K of characteristic p constructed by Gow with the dimensions of the irreducible Sp(2g,F_p)-modules that appear in the first approximation to representations of…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number, and $F$ a nonarchimedean local field of residual characteristic $p$. We classify the smooth, irreducible, admissible genuine mod-$p$ representations of the twofold metaplectic cover…

Let R: V x V -> V x V be a Hecke type solution of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation (a Hecke symmetry). Then, the Hilbert-Poincre' series of the associated R-exterior algebra of the space V is a ratio of two polynomials of degree m…

We count points over a finite field on wild character varieties of Riemann surfaces for singularities with regular semisimple leading term. The new feature in our counting formulas is the appearance of characters of Yokonuma-Hecke algebras.…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over the complex numbers and let $T\subset G$ be a maximal torus. For any $t\in T$ of finite order and any irreducible representation $V(\lambda)$ of $G$ of highest weight $\lambda$, we determine the…

We use a plethystic formula of Littlewood to answer a question of Miller on embeddings of symmetric group characters. We also reprove a result of Miller on character congruences.

Every Anderson $A$-motive $M$ over a field determines a compatible system of Galois representations on its Tate modules at almost all primes of $A$. This adapts easily to $F$-isocrystals, which are rational analogues of $A$-motives for the…

We discuss the notion of Jacobi forms of degree one with matrix index, we state dimension formulas, give explicit examples, and indicate how closely their theory is connected to the theory of invariants of Weil representations associated to…

The supercharacter theory of algebra groups gave us a representation theoretic realization of the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables. The underlying representation theoretic framework comes equipped with two…

We study the interplay between different models of the same irreducible representation of the $F$-points of a reductive group over a local field.

Let $\pi$ be a simple supercuspidal representation of the symplectic group $Sp_{2l}(F)$, over a $p$-adic field $F$. In this work, we explicitly compute the Rankin-Selberg $\gamma$-factor of rank-$1$ twists of $\pi$. We then completely…

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…

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…

The paper explores various special functions which generalize the two-parametric Mittag-Leffler type function of two variables. Integral representations for these functions in different domains of variation of arguments for certain values…

In 2015, the author proved combinatorially character formulas expressing sums of the (formal) dimensions of irreducible representations of symplectic groups, refining some works of Nekrasov and Okounkov, Han, King, and Westbury. In this…
