We establish a Bruhat decomposition indexed by the wreath product $\Sigma_m\wr \Sigma_d$ between two symmetric groups -- note that $\Sigma_m\wr \Sigma_d$ is not a Coxeter group in general. We show that such a decomposition affords a…

Associated to any subspace arrangement is a "De Concini-Procesi model", a certain smooth compactification of its complement, which in the case of the braid arrangement produces the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of…

We generalize a formula due to Macdonald that relates the singular Betti numbers of $X^{n}/G$ to those of $X$, where $X$ is a compact manifold and $G$ is any subgroup of the symmetric group $S_{n}$ acting on $X^{n}$ by permuting…

We associate to each algebraic variety defined over $\mathbb{R}$ a filtered cochain complex, which computes the cohomology with compact supports and $\mathbb{Z}\_2$-coefficients of the set of its real points. This filtered complex is…

Let $G$ and $H$ be two groups acting on path connected topological spaces $X$ and $Y$ respectively. Assume that $H$ is finite of order $m$ and the quotient maps $p:X\to X/G$ and $q:Y\to Y/H$ are regular coverings. Then it is well-known that…

In this paper we study general quantum affinizations $\U_q(\hat{\Glie})$ of symmetrizable quantum Kac-Moody algebras and we develop their representation theory. We prove a triangular decomposition and we give a classication of (type 1)…

We systematically study wreath product Schur functions and give a combinatorial construction using colored partitions and tableaux. The Pieri rule and the Littlewood-Richardson rule are studied. We also discuss the connection with…

Hyperplane arrangements form the geometric counterpart of combinatorial objects such as matroids. The shape of the sequence of Betti numbers of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement is of particular interest in combinatorics, where…

Bartholdi, Neuhauser and Woess proved that a family of metabelian groups including lamplighters have a striking geometric manifestation as 1-skeleta of horocyclic products of trees. The purpose of this article is to give an elementary…

We construct reflection functors on categories of modules over deformed wreath products of the preprojective algebra of a quiver. These functors give equivalences of categories associated to generic parameters which are in the same orbit…

There are two approaches to projective representation theory of symmetric and alternating groups, which are powerful enough to work for modular representations. One is based on Sergeev duality, which connects projective representation…

We study representations of wreath product analogues of categories of finite sets. This includes the category of finite sets and injections (studied by Church, Ellenberg, and Farb) and the opposite of the category of finite sets and…

We prove that if a finite group $H$ has a generalized involution model, as defined by Bump and Ginzburg, then the wreath product $H \wr S_n$ also has a generalized involution model. This extends the work of Baddeley concerning involution…

The Thurston compactification of Teichmuller spaces has been generalized to many different representation spaces by J. Morgan, P. Shalen, M. Bestvina, F. Paulin, A. Parreau and others. In the simplest case of representations of fundamental…

In our previous paper [math.NT/0408050], we established a correspondence between vector-valued holomorphic Siegel modular forms and cohomology with local coefficients for local symmetric spaces $X$ attached to real orthogonal groups of type…

For a finite group G one may consider the associated tower S_n[G] of wreath product groups. Zelevinsky associates to such a tower a positive self-adjoint Hopf algebra (PSH-algebra) R(G) as the infinite direct sum of the Grothendieck groups…

We compute: * the cohomology with group ring coefficients of Artin groups (or actually, of their associated Salvetti complexes), Bestvina-Brady groups, and graph products of groups, * the L^2-Betti numbers of Bestvina-Brady groups and of…

Let $r$ be a positive integer and let $G_n$ be the reflection group of $n \times n$ monomial matrices whose entries are $r^{th}$ complex roots of unity and let $k \leq n$. We define and study two new graded quotients $R_{n,k}$ and $S_{n,k}$…

We introduce the notion of "color rules" for computing class functions of $Z_k \wr S_n$, where $Z_k$ is the cyclic group of order $k$ and $S_n$ is the symmetric group on $n$ letters. Using a general sign-reversing involution and a map of…

We find an explicit combinatorial gradient vector field on the well known complex S (Salvetti complex) which models the complement to an arrangement of complexified hyperplanes. The argument uses a total ordering on the facets of the…
