The notion of a supercharacter theory was proposed by P. Diaconis and I.M. Isaacs in 2008. A supercharacter theory for a given finite group is a pair of the system of certain complex characters and the partition of group into classes that…
We establish an explicit formula for twisted Harish-Chandra characters of toral supercuspidal representations of p-adic reductive groups under several technical assumptions. Our setup especially includes the case of a quasi-split group…
In this article we explain discrete torsion. Put simply, discrete torsion is the choice of orbifold group action on the B field. We derive the classification H^2(G, U(1)), we derive the twisted sector phases appearing in string loop…
We show how general principles of symmetry in quantum mechanics lead to twisted notions of a group representation. This framework generalizes both the classical 3-fold way of real/complex/quaternionic representations as well as a…
We review main features and problems of higher spin field theory and flash some ways along which it has been developed over last decades.
We write down a series of basic laws for (strict) higher-order circuit diagrams. More precisely, we define higher-order circuit theories in terms of: (a) nesting, (b) temporal and spatial composition, and (c) equivalence between lower-order…
In this article, we further the study of higher K-theory of dg categories via universal invariants, initiated by the second named author. Our main result is the co-representability of non-connective K-theory by the base ring in the…
We study connections between the topology of generic character varieties of fundamental groups of punctured Riemann surfaces, Macdonald polynomials, quiver representations, Hilbert schemes on surfaces, modular forms and multiplicities in…
This paper is an expanded version of the author's lecture at the Integers Conference 2011. We discuss the secondary terms in the Davenport-Heilbronn theorems on cubic fields and 3-torsion in class groups of quadratic fields. Such secondary…
Some topics which can be easily explained to undergraduate students are presented, with elementary derivations. For a more systematic treatment of heavy-quark physics, see the textbook by Manohar and Wise.
The general form of the operators commuting with the ground representation (appearing in many physical problems within single particle approximation) of the group is found. With help of the modified group projector technique, this result is…
We explore the relations of twisted K-theory to twisted and untwisted classical cohomology. We construct an Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, and describe its differentials rationally as Massey products. We define the twisted Chern…
This is a review of Parshin's higher local class field theory in characteristic p.
Let $U$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup in a classical group over a finite field of characteristic $p$. The coadjoint orbits of the group $U$ play the key role in the description of irreducible complex characters of $U$. Almost all important…
Let $X$ be a toric $\mbox{hyperK\"ahler}$ manifold. The purpose of this note is to describe the topological $K$-ring $K^*(X)$ of $X$. We give a presentation for the topological $K$-ring in terms of generators and relations similar to the…
This work is originally a Cambridge Part III essay. Throughout the paper, some aspects of General Relativity in higher dimensions are reviewed. The work presented draws a path within the wide landscape of higher dimensional black holes…
The purpose of this paper is twofold: 1. we prove the triangulability of smooth orbifolds with corners, generalizing the same statement for orbifolds. 2. based on 1, we propose a new homology theory. We call it geometric homology theory…
For a block B of a finite group G there are well-known orthogonality relations for the generalized decomposition numbers. We refine these relations by expressing the generalized decomposition numbers with respect to an integral basis of a…
The notion of a complex tangent arises for embeddings of real manifolds into complex spaces. It is of particular interest when studying embeddings of real $n$-dimensional manifolds into $\mathbb{C}^n$. The generic topological structure of…
We study orbifolds of two-dimensional topological field theories using defects. If the TFT arises as the twist of a superconformal field theory, we recover results on the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of the orbifold theory as well as…
