We extend to semi-abelian categories the notion of characteristic subobject, which is widely used in group theory and in the theory of Lie algebras. Moreover, we show that many of the classical properties of characteristic subgroups of a…

The aim of this article is to prove that the Torelli group action on the G-character varieties is ergodic for G a connected, semi-simple and compact Lie group.

We give parameterizations of the irreducible representations of finite groups of Lie type in their defining characteristic.

Following work of Rieffel, we define the Cayley compactification of an abelian group with specified generating set. We investigate its structure using methods from discrete geometry and commutative algebra.

In this short note we present a generating function computing the compactly supported Euler characteristic $\chi_c(F(X, n), K^{\boxtimes n})$ of the configuration spaces on a topologically stratified space $X$, with $K$ a constructible…

We show that a certain compactification $\mathfrak{X}_g$ of the $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ free group character variety $\mathcal{X}(F_g, \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C}))$ is Fano. This compactification has been studied previously by the second…

We conjecture that the automorphism group of a topological parallelism on real projective 3-space is compact. We prove that at least the identity component of this group is, indeed, compact.

Let J be the jacobian of a reduced projective curve C with nodes only. 1) We give a simple and natural definition for its many compactifications and show the connection with various other definitions appearing in the literature. 2) Among…

We examine the selective screenability property in topological groups. In the metrizable case we also give characterizations in terms of the Haver property and finitary Haver property respectively relative to left-invariant metrics. We…

We relate the category of sheaves on alcoves that was constructed in "Sheaves on the alcoves and modular representations I" to the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups. In particular, we show that its indecomposable…

We determine the characters of SL(2) representations of groups and surface groups.

Let G be a reductive connected group over an algebraic closure of a finite field. I define a tensor structure on the category of perverse sheaves on G which are direct sums of unipotent character sheaves in a fixed two-sided cell, in…

We define an analogue of the Caldero-Chapoton map (\cite{CC}) for the cluster category of finite dimensional nilpotent representations over a cyclic quiver. We prove that it is a cluster character (in the sense of \cite{Palu}) and satisfies…

We first give simplified and corrected accounts of some results in \cite{PiRCP} on compactifications of pseudofinite groups. For instance, we use a classical theorem of Turing \cite{Turing} to give a simplified proof that any definable…

The character theory of finite groups has numerous basic questions that are often already quite involved: enumerating of irreducible characters, their character formulas, point-wise product decompositions, and restriction/induction between…

Given a category C acted on by the loop group G((t)), we define its Whittaker model Whit(C) as C^{N((t)),\chi}, where \chi is a non-degenerate character. We study the properties of this construction. When C is the category of sheaves on the…

We show that, in the character variety of surface group representations into the Lie group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R}) \times \mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, the compactification of the maximal component introduced by the second author is a…

We show that Lusztig's conjecture on the irreducible characters of a reductive algebraic group over a field of positive characteristic is equivalent to the generic multiplicity conjecture, which gives a formula for the Jordan-H"older…

This paper consists of three interconnected parts. Parts I,III study the relationship between the cohomology of a reductive group and that of a Levi subgroup. For example, we provide a necessary condition, arising from Kazhdan-Lusztig…

We determine the irreducible constituents of the Steinberg character of an orthogonal group over a finite field restricted to the orthogonal group of one less dimension
