In this paper, we extend the Topological Quantum Field Theory developed by Gonz\'alez-Prieto, Logares, and Mu\~noz for computing virtual classes of $G$-representation varieties of closed orientable surfaces in the Grothendieck ring of…
We derive a Murnaghan--Nakayama type formula for the values of unipotent characters of finite classical groups on regular semisimple elements. This relies on Asai's explicit decomposition of Lusztig restriction. We use our formula to show…
Let $G$ be a finite group. The ring $R_\mathbb{K}(G)$ of virtual characters of $G$ over the field $\mathbb{K}$ is a $\lambda$-ring; as such, it is equipped with the so-called $\Gamma$-filtration, first defined by Grothendieck. We explore…
Let $\mathcal{A}(q)$ be a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with $q$ elements, and let $G(q) = 1+\mathcal{A}(q)$. On the other hand, let $\Bbbk$ denote the algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, and…
For a fixed prime power $q$, let $\text{GL}_\bullet(q)$ denote the family of groups $\text{GL}_N(q)$ for $N \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$. In this paper we study the $\mathbb{C}$-algebra of "stable" class functions of $\text{GL}_\bullet(q)$, and…
Let ${\mathbb{G}}$ be a simply connected ${\mathbb{Z}}_\ell$-spets, let $q$ be a prime power, prime to $\ell$ and let $S$ be the underlying Sylow $\ell$-subgroup. Firstly, motivated by known formulae for values of Deligne-Lusztig characters…
The singular value decomposition of a complex matrix is a fundamental concept in linear algebra and has proved extremely useful in many subjects. It is less clear what the situation is over a finite field. In this paper, we classify the…
We present a conjecture generalizing the Cauchy formula for Macdonald polynomials. This conjecture encodes the mixed Hodge polynomials of the character varieties of representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface of genus g to…
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $k$ be a sufficiently large finite field. Let $R(G)$ denote the character ring of $G$ (i.e. the Grothendieck ring of the category of ${\mathbb{C}}G$-modules). We study the structure and the representations…
Let $U_n$ denote the group of upper $n \times n$ unitriangular matrices over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}$ of order $q$. That is, $U_n$ consists of upper triangular $n \times n$ matrices having every diagonal entry equal to $1$. It is…
We raise the question of whether (a slightly generalized notion of) $qq$-characters can be constructed purely representation-theoretically. In the main example of the quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra, geometric engineering of…
A Pfaffian-type Murnaghan-Nakayama rule is derived for the Hecke-Clifford algebra $\mathcal{H}^c_n$ based on the Frobenius formula and vertex operators, and this leads to a combinatorial version via the tableaux realization of Schur's…
Let $\UT_n(q)$ denote the group of unipotent $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices over a field with $q$ elements. The degrees of the complex irreducible characters of $\UT_n(q)$ are precisely the integers $q^e$ with $0\leq e\leq \lfloor…
In this note we give explicit computations of certain types of Curtis homomorphisms and interpret them in terms of Gelfand-Tsetlin diagrams. Namely, this interpretation follows from Gelfand-Tsetlin formulas for the…
We compute generating functions for the sum of the real-valued character degrees of the finite general linear and unitary groups, through symmetric function computations. For the finite general linear group, we get a new combinatorial proof…
We determine the exchange relations of the level-one q-vertex operators of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q[\hat{gl(N|N)}]$. We study in details the level-one irreducible highest weight representations of $U_q[\hat{gl(2|2)}]$, and…
This article is based on lectures given by the authors in 2005 and 2006. Our first goal is to present an introduction to the orbit method with an emphasis on the character theory of finite nilpotent groups. The second goal (motivated by a…
We derive decomposition formulas for supercharacters of quantum affine ortho-symplectic superalgebras and twisted quantum affine superalgebras into supercharacters of their finite-type quantum sub-superalgebras, by employing Cauchy-type…
Let $\mathtt{k}$ be an algebraic closure of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be a connected unipotent group over $\mathtt{k}$ equipped with an $\mathbb{F}_q$-structure given by a Frobenius map $F:G\to G$. We…
In this paper, we use a geometric technique developed by Gonz\'alez-Prieto, Logares, Mu\~noz, and Newstead to study the $G$-representation variety of surface groups $\mathfrak{X}_G(\Sigma_g)$ of arbitrary genus for $G$ being the group of…
