I am applying the Langlands-Shahidi method to the metaplectic double cover of Sp(2n). I proved that a Whittaker model of an irreducible admissible representation of this group is unique. As a result I was able to define the local…

We determine invariants like the Smith normal form and the determinant for certain integral matrices which arise from the character tables of the symmetric groups S_n and their double covers. In particular, we give a simple computation,…

We explicitly compute the McKay quivers of small finite subgroups of $GL(2,\mathbb{C})$ relative to the natural representation, using character theory and the McKay quivers of finite subgroups of $SU(2)$. We present examples that shows the…

We investigate $k$-superirreducible polynomials, by which we mean irreducible polynomials that remain irreducible under any polynomial substitution of positive degree at most $k$. Let $\mathbb F$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. We…

We use the theory of skew duality to show that decomposing the tensor product of $k$ irreducible representations of the symplectic group $Sp_{2m} = Sp_{2m}(C)$ is equivalent to branching from $Sp_{2n}$ to $Sp_{2n_1}\times\cdots\times…

The paper studies the minimum polynomial degrees of $p$-elements in cross-characteristic representations of simple groups of exceptional Lie type whose BN-pair rank is at most 2. Specifically, we prove that the degree in question equals the…

In this article we classify the complex quadratic number fields k with 2-class group of type (2,2,2) whose Hilbert 2-class fields have a 2-class group of rank 2, and then determine the length of their 2-class field towers.

We obtain explicit formulas for the product of a deformed Weyl denominator with the character of an irreducible representation of the spin group $\rm{Spin}_{2r+1}({\mathbb C})$, which is an analogue of the formulas of Tokuyama for Schur…

Sp\"ath showed that the Alperin-McKay conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups holds if the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay condition holds for all finite simple groups. In a previous article, we showed that the…

We prove the formal degree conjecture for simple supercuspidal representations of symplectic groups and quasi-split even special orthogonal groups over a p-adic field, under the assumption that p is odd. The essential part is to compute the…

We consider the adjoint action of the symplectic Lie group $\mathrm{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ on its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$. An element $X \in \mathfrak{sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ is called…

The Alperin--McKay conjecture relates irreducible characters of a block of an arbitrary finite group to those of its $p$-local subgroups. A refinement of this conjecture was stated by the author in a previous paper. We prove that this…

This is a write-up of my talk at the Conference on algebraic structures in Montreal, July 2003. I try to give a brief informal introduction to the proof of Y. Ruan's conjecture on orbifold cohomology multiplication for symplectic quotient…

We construct supercharacter theories of finite unipotent groups in the orthogonal, symplectic and unitary types. Our method utilizes group actions in a manner analogous to that of Diaconis and Isaacs in their construction of supercharacters…

We study rationality properties of irreducible characters of finite groups. We show that the continuity of $2$-rationality is a phenomenon that can be detected in the principal $2$-block, thus refining a recent result of N. N. Hung. We also…

We bound the indices of normal abelian subgroups in finite groups contained in the Cremona group of rank 2 over a field of odd characteristic.

We are interested in determining the bound of the average of the degrees of the irreducible characters whose degrees are not divisible by some prime $p$ that guarantees a finite group $G$ of odd order is $p$-nilpotent. We find a bound that…

Let $x$ and $y$ be positive $n$-vectors. We show that there exists a $2n\times 2n$ positive definite real matrix whose symplectic spectrum is $y,$ and the symplectic spectrum of whose diagonal is $x$ if and only if $x$ is weakly…

Proving a conjecture of Miller, we show that as $n$ tends to infinity almost all entries in the character table of $S_n$ are divisible by any given prime power. This extends our earlier work which treated divisibility by primes.

Using methods of conformal field theory, we conjecture an exact form for the probability that n distinct clusters span a large rectangle or open cylinder of aspect ratio k, in the limit when k is large.
