In this paper we provide a geometric framework for the study of characters of depth-zero representations of unramified groups over local fields with finite residue fields which is built directly on Lusztig's theory of character sheaves for…

We define character varieties with non-connected structure groups of finitely presented discrete groups and study some basic aspects, such as generic conjugacy classes and relation with fixed points in character varieties with connected…

Mirkovi\'c introduced the notion of character sheaves on a Lie algebra. Due to their simple geometric characterization, character sheaves on Lie algebras can be thought of as a simplified model for Lusztig's theory of character sheaves on…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study certain irreducible perverse l-adic sheaves on a reductive group G over a finite field (we call them gamma-sheaves). One can construct such a sheaf starting with (almost) every…

Restriction is a natural quasi-order on $d$-way tensors. We establish a remarkable aspect of this quasi-order in the case of tensors over a fixed finite field -- namely, that it is a well-quasi-order: it admits no infinite antichains and no…

In the framework of Abstract Differential Geometry, we show that to a given principal sheaf and a representation of its stuctural sheaf in $A^n$, where A is a sheaf of associative, commutative, unital algebras (over R or C), we associate a…

We define the notion of a semicharacter of a group G : A function from the group to C*, whose restriction to any abelian subgroup is a homomorphism. We conjecture that for any finite group, the order of the group of semicharacters is…

We give an explicit description of character sheaves for the symmetric pairs associated to inner involutions of the special linear groups. We make use of the general strategy given in [VX1] and central character consideration. We also…

In the first part, we construct a new isomorphism between the endomorphism algebra of an induced cuspidal character sheaf and the group algebra of the relative Weyl group involved. We show it differs from the isomorphism of Lusztig by a…

In these notes, an introduction to derived categories and derived functors is given. The main focus is the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety.

We define the notion of a sheaf over a complex of groups. As an application, we give a criterion for the developability of a complex of groups. When the developability is witnessed by a morphism to $\mathrm{GL}(V)$ for some $V$, our…

We construct a natural bijection between odd-degree irreducible characters of S_n and linear characters of its Sylow 2-subgroup P_n. When n is a power of 2, we show that such a bijection is nicely induced by the restriction functor. We…

Let G_0 be a connected unipotent algebraic group over a finite field F_q, and let G be the unipotent group over an algebraic closure F of F_q obtained from G_0 by extension of scalars. If M is a Frobenius-invariant character sheaf on G, we…

We obtain nontrivial bounds for character sums with multiplicative and additive characters over finite fields over elements with restricted coordinate expansion. In particular, we obtain a nontrivial estimate for such a sum over a finite…

In this paper we construct full support character sheaves for stably graded Lie algebras. Conjecturally these are precisely the cuspidal character sheaves. Irreducible representations of Hecke algebras associated to complex reflection…

In this article, we classify disconnected reductive groups over an algebraically closed field with a few caveats. Internal parts of our result are both a classification of finite groups and a classification of integral representations of a…

We show how the character tables of the groups $E_6(q)_{\text{ad}}$ and ${^2\!E}_6(q)_{\text{ad}}$ can be constructed, where $q$ is a power of~$2$. (Partial results are also obtained for any $q$ not divisible by~$3$.) This is based on…

Lusztig conjectured that the almost characters of a finite reductive group are up to a scalar the same as the characteristic functions of the rational character sheaves defined on the corresponding algebraic group. We propose in this paper…

This is a preliminary version of the first chapter of a book project on the character theory of finite groups of Lie type. It provides the foundations from the general theory of reductive algebraic groups over a finite field.

Let G be a finite group. Denoting by cd(G) the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of G, we consider the character degree graph of G: this is the (simple undirected) graph whose vertices are the prime divisors of the…
