A Latin square has six conjugate Latin squares obtained by uniformly permuting its (row, column, symbol) triples. We say that a Latin square has conjugate symmetry if at least two of its six conjugates are equal. We enumerate Latin squares with conjugate symmetry and classify them according to several common notions of equivalence. We also do similar enumerations under additional hypotheses, such as assuming the Latin square is reduced, diagonal, idempotent or unipotent. Our data corrected an error in earlier literature and suggested several patterns that we then found proofs for, including (1) The number of isomorphism classes of semisymmetric idempotent Latin squares of order $n$ equals the number of isomorphism classes of semisymmetric unipotent Latin squares of order $n+1$, and (2) Suppose $A$ and $B$ are totally symmetric Latin squares of order $n\not\equiv0\bmod3$. If $A$ and $B$ are paratopic then $A$ and $B$ are isomorphic.

We consider a special class of unipotent periods for automorphic forms on a finite cover of a reductive adelic group $$\mathbf {G}(\mathbb {A}_\mathbb {K})$$ G ( A K ) , which we refer to as Fourier coefficients associated to the data of a ‘Whittaker pair’. We describe a quasi-order on Fourier coefficients, and an algorithm that gives an explicit formula for any coefficient in terms of integrals and sums involving higher coefficients. The maximal elements for the quasi-order are ‘Levi-distinguished’ Fourier coefficients, which correspond to taking the constant term along the unipotent radical of a parabolic subgroup, and then further taking a Fourier coefficient with respect to a $${\mathbb K}$$ K -distinguished nilpotent orbit in the Levi quotient. Thus one can express any Fourier coefficient, including the form itself, in terms of higher Levi-distinguished coefficients. In companion papers we use this result to determine explicit Fourier expansions of minimal and next-to-minimal automorphic forms on split simply-laced reductive groups, and to obtain Euler product decompositions of certain Fourier coefficients.

We investigate positive-dimensional closed reductive subgroups of almost simple algebraic groups containing a regular unipotent element. Our main result states that such subgroups do not lie inside proper parabolic subgroups unless possibly when their connected component is a torus. This extends the earlier result of Testerman and Zalesski treating connected reductive subgroups.

In this paper we describe $${\mathcal {R}}$$ -unipotent semigroups being regular extensions of a left regular band by an $$\mathcal {R}$$ -unipotent semigroup T as certain subsemigroups of a wreath product of a left regular band by T. We obtain Szendrei’s result that each E-unitary $${\mathcal {R}}$$ -unipotent semigroup is embeddable into a semidirect product of a left regular band by a group. Further, specialising the first author’s notion of $$\lambda $$ -semidirect product of a semigroup by a locally $${\mathcal {R}}$$ -unipotent semigroup, we provide an answer to an open question raised by the authors in [Extensions and covers for semigroups whose idempotents form a left regular band, Semigroup Forum 81 (2010), 51-70].

We introduce two properties: strong R-property and $C(q)$ -property, describing a special way of divergence of nearby trajectories for an abstract measure-preserving system. We show that systems satisfying the strong R-property are disjoint (in the sense of Furstenberg) with systems satisfying the $C(q)$ -property. Moreover, we show that if $u_t$ is a unipotent flow on $G/\Gamma $ with $\Gamma $ irreducible, then $u_t$ satisfies the $C(q)$ -property provided that $u_t$ is not of the form $h_t\times \operatorname {id}$ , where $h_t$ is the classical horocycle flow. Finally, we show that the strong R-property holds for all (smooth) time changes of horocycle flows and non-trivial time changes of bounded-type Heisenberg nilflows.

For a general linear supergroup $G=GL(m|n)$, we consider a natural isomorphism $\phi: G \to U^-\times G_{ev} \times U^+$, where $G_{ev}$ is the even subsupergroup of $G$, and $U^-$, $U^+$ are appropriate odd unipotent subsupergroups of $G$. We compute the action of odd superderivations on the images $\phi^*(x_{ij})$ of the generators of $K[G]$. We describe a specific ordering of the dominant weights $X(T)^+$ of $GL(m|n)$ for which there exists a Donkin-Koppinen filtration of the coordinate algebra $K[G]$. Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated ideal $\Gamma$ of $X(T)^+$ and $O_{\Gamma}(K[G])$ be the largest $\Gamma$-subsupermodule of $K[G]$ having simple composition factors of highest weights $\lambda\in \Gamma$. We apply combinatorial techniques, using generalized bideterminants, to determine a basis of $G$-superbimodules appearing in Donkin-Koppinen filtration of $O_{\Gamma}(K[G])$.

We investigate several interrelated foundational questions pertaining to the study of motivic dga’s of Dan-Cohen and Schlank (Rational motivic path spaces and Kim’s relative unipotent section conjecture. arXiv:1703.10776 ) and Iwanari (Motivic rational homotopy type. arXiv:1707.04070 ). In particular, we note that morphisms of motivic dga’s can reasonably be thought of as a nonabelian analog of motivic cohomology. Just as abelian motivic cohomology is a homotopy group of a spectrum coming from K-theory, the space of morphisms of motivic dga’s is a certain limit of such spectra; we give an explicit formula for this limit—a possible first step towards explicit computations or dimension bounds. We also consider commutative comonoids in Chow motives, which we call “motivic Chow coalgebras”. We discuss the relationship between motivic Chow coalgebras and motivic dga’s of smooth proper schemes. As a small first application of our results, we show that among schemes which are finite etale over a number field, morphisms of associated motivic dga’s are no different than morphisms of schemes. This may be regarded as a small consequence of a plausible generalization of Kim’s relative unipotent section conjecture, hence as an ounce of evidence for the latter.

Following a suggestion of Peter Scholze, we construct an action of G m ^ \widehat {\mathbb {G}_m} on the Katz moduli problem, a profinite-étale cover of the ordinary locus of the p p -adic modular curve whose ring of functions is Serre’s space of p p -adic modular functions. This action is a local, p p -adic analog of a global, archimedean action of the circle group S 1 S^1 on the lattice-unstable locus of the modular curve over C \mathbb {C} . To construct the G m ^ \widehat {\mathbb {G}_m} -action, we descend a moduli-theoretic action of a larger group on the (big) ordinary Igusa variety of Caraiani-Scholze. We compute the action explicitly on local expansions and find it is given by a simple multiplication of the cuspidal and Serre-Tate coordinates q q ; along the way we also prove a natural generalization of Dwork’s equation τ = log ⁡ q \tau =\log q for extensions of Q p / Z p \mathbb {Q}_p/\mathbb {Z}_p by μ p ∞ \mu _{p^\infty } valid over a non-Artinian base. Finally, we give a direct argument (without appealing to local expansions) to show that the action of G m ^ \widehat {\mathbb {G}_m} integrates the differential operator θ \theta coming from the Gauss-Manin connection and unit root splitting, and explain an application to Eisenstein measures and p p -adic L L -functions.

Let $$\mathbb{G}$$ denote a higher-rank ℝ-split simple Lie group of the following type: SL(n, ℝ), SOo(m, m), E6(6), E7(7) and E8(8), where m ≥ 4 and n ≥ 3. We study the cohomological equation for discrete, abelian parabolic actions on $$\mathbb{G}$$ via representation theory. Specifically, we characterize the obstructions to solving the cohomological equation and construct smooth solutions with Sobolev estimates. We prove that global estimates of the solution are generally not tame, and our non-tame estimates in the case $$\mathbb{G}$$ = SL(n, ℝ) are sharp up to finite loss of regularity. Moreover, we prove that for general $$\mathbb{G}$$ the estimates are tame in all but one direction, and as an application, we obtain tame estimates for the common solution of the cocycle equations. We also give a sufficient condition for which the first cohomology with coefficients in smooth vector fields is trivial. In the case that $$\mathbb{G}$$ = SL(n, ℝ), we show this condition is also necessary. A new method is developed to prove tame directions involving computations within maximal unipotent subgroups of the unitary duals of SL(2, ℝ) ⋉ ℝ2 and SL(2, ℝ) ⋉ ℝ4. A new technique is also developed to prove non-tameness for solutions of the cohomological equation.

We examine the cohomology and representation theory of a family of finite supergroup schemes of the form $(\mathbb G_a^-\times \mathbb G_a^-)\rtimes (\mathbb G_{a(r)}\times (\mathbb Z/p)^s)$. In particular, we show that a certain relation holds in the cohomology ring, and deduce that for finite supergroup schemes having this as a quotient, both cohomology mod nilpotents and projectivity of modules is detected on proper sub-super\-group schemes. This special case feeds into the proof of a more general detection theorem for unipotent finite supergroup schemes, in a separate work of the authors joint with Iyengar and Krause. We also completely determine the cohomology ring in the smallest cases, namely $(\mathbb G_a^- \times \mathbb G_a^-) \rtimes \mathbb G_{a(1)}$ and $(\mathbb G_a^- \times \mathbb G_a^-) \rtimes \mathbb Z/p$. The computation uses the local cohomology spectral sequence for group cohomology, which we describe in the context of finite supergroup schemes., 19 pages

We give a short combinatorial proof of Asai's decomposition formula for Lusztig induction of unipotent characters in groups of classical type, relying solely on the Mackey formula.

The Malle–Navarro conjecture relates central block theoretic invariants in two inequalities. In this article, we prove the conjecture for the 2-blocks and the unipotent 3-blocks of the general line...

S.-Y. Pan decomposes the uniform projection of the Weil representation of a finite symplectic-odd orthogonal dual pair, in terms of Deligne-Lusztig virtual characters, assuming that the order of the finite field is large enough. In this paper we use Pan's decomposition to study the theta correspondence for this kind of dual pairs, following the approach of Adams-Moy and Aubert-Michel-Rouquier. Our results give the theta correspondence between unipotent representations and certain quadratic unipotent representations., Comment: Revised version, accepted by Pacific J. Math

In this paper we will give a short proof of a special case of Zariski’s result about finite generation in connection with Hilbert’s 14th problem using a new idea. Our result is useful for invariant subrings of unipotent or connected semisimple groups. We will also prove an analogue of Miyanishi’s result for the ring of invariants of a $$ {\mathbbm{G}}_a $$ -action on R[X, Y, Z] for an affine Dedekind domain R using topological methods.

Let S be a del Pezzo surface with at worst Du Val singularities such that it is a hypersurface in a weighted projective space ℙ. We prove that the surface S contains a (−KS)-polar cylinder if and only if the automorphism group of the affine variety ℙ \ S contains a unipotent subgroup.

In this paper we study the Gan–Gross–Prasad problem for unitary groups over finite fields. Our results provide complete answers for unipotent representations, and we obtain the explicit branching of these representations.

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over a finite field with q elements. In the 1980’s, Kawanaka introduced generalised Gelfand–Graev representations of the finite group $$ G\left({\mathbbm{F}}_q\right) $$ G F q , assuming that q is a power of a good prime for G. These representations have turned out to be extremely useful in various contexts. Here we investigate to what extent Kawanaka’s construction can be carried out when we drop the assumptions on q. As a curious by-product, we obtain a new, conjectural characterisation of Lusztig’s concept of special unipotent classes of G in terms of weighted Dynkin diagrams.

Let G be a simply connected Chevalley group over an infinite field K, and let $$ \tilde{w} $$ : Gn → G be a word map that corresponds to a nontrivial word w. In 2015, it has been proved that if w = w1w2w3w4 is the product of four words in independent variables, then every noncentral element of G is contained in the image of $$ \tilde{w} $$. A similar result for a word w = w1w2w3, which is the product of three independent words, was obtained in 2019 under the condition that the group G is not of type B2 or G2. In the present paper, it is proved that for a group of type B2 or G2, all elements of the large Bruhat cell B nw0B are contained in the image of the word map $$ \tilde{w} $$, where w = w1w2w3 is the product of three independent words. For a group G of type Ar, Cr, or G2 (respectively, for a group of type Ar) or a group over a perfect field K (respectively, over a perfect field K the characteristic of which is not a bad prime for G) with dim K ≤ 1 (here, dim K is the cohomological dimension of K), it is proved that all split regular semisimple elements (respectively, all regular unipotent elements) of G are contained in the image of $$ \tilde{w} $$, where w = w1w2 is the product of two independent words. Also, for any isotropic (but not necessary split) simple algebraic group G over a field K of characteristic zero, it is shown that for a word map $$ \tilde{w} $$ : G(K)n → G(K), where w = w1w2 is a product of two independent words, all unipotent elements are contained in Im $$ \tilde{w} $$.

We prove Zimmer’s conjecture for $$C^2$$ actions by finite-index subgroups of $$\mathrm {SL}(m,{\mathbb {Z}})$$ provided $$m>3$$ . The method utilizes many ingredients from our earlier proof of the conjecture for actions by cocompact lattices in $$\mathrm {SL}(m,{\mathbb {R}})$$ (Brown et al. in Zimmer’s conjecture: subexponential growth, measure rigidity, and strong property (T), 2016. arXiv:1608.04995 ) but new ideas are needed to overcome the lack of compactness of the space $$(G \times M)/\Gamma $$ (admitting the induced G-action). Non-compactness allows both measures and Lyapunov exponents to escape to infinity under averaging and a number of algebraic, geometric, and dynamical tools are used control this escape. New ideas are provided by the work of Lubotzky, Mozes, and Raghunathan on the structure of nonuniform lattices and, in particular, of $$\mathrm {SL}(m,{\mathbb {Z}})$$ providing a geometric decomposition of the cusp into rank one directions, whose geometry is more easily controlled. The proof also makes use of a precise quantitative form of non-divergence of unipotent orbits by Kleinbock and Margulis, and an extension by de la Salle of strong property (T) to representations of nonuniform lattices.

This article is part of a project which consists of investigating Arthur packets for real classical groups. Our goal is to give an explicit description of these packets and to establish the multiplicity one property (which is known to hold for $p$-adic and complex groups). The main result in this paper is a construction of packets from unipotent packets on $c$-Levi factors using cohomological induction. An important tool used in the argument is a statement of commutativity between cohomological induction and spectral endoscopic transfer.

To each automorphism of a spherical building, there is a naturally associated opposition diagram, which encodes the types of the simplices of the building that are mapped onto opposite simplices. If no chamber (that is, no maximal simplex) of the building is mapped onto an opposite chamber, then the automorphism is called domestic. In this paper, we give the complete classification of domestic automorphisms of split spherical buildings of types $\mathsf {E}_6$ , $\mathsf {F}_4$ , and $\mathsf {G}_2$ . Moreover, for all split spherical buildings of exceptional type, we classify (i) the domestic homologies, (ii) the opposition diagrams arising from elements of the standard unipotent subgroup of the Chevalley group, and (iii) the automorphisms with opposition diagrams with at most two distinguished orbits encircled. Our results provide unexpected characterizations of long root elations and products of perpendicular long root elations in long root geometries, and analogues of the density theorem for connected linear algebraic groups in the setting of Chevalley groups over arbitrary fields.

Falbel, Koseleff and Rouillier computed a large number of boundary unipotent CR representations of fundamental groups of non compact three-manifolds. Those representations are not always discrete. By experimentally computing their limit set, one can determine that those with fractal limit sets are discrete. Many of those discrete representations can be related to (3,3,n) complex hyperbolic triangle groups. By exact computations, we verify the existence of those triangle representations, which have boundary unipotent holonomy. We also show that many representations are redundant: for n fixed, all the (3,3,n) representations encountered are conjugate and only one among them is uniformizable.

В статье изучаются p--расширения полных дискретно нормированных полей смешанной характеристики, где p-характеристика поля вычетов рассматриваемого поля. Известно, что любое вполне разветвленное расширение Галуа степени p-с немаксимальным скачком ветвления может быть задано уравнением Артина-Шрайера; при этом ограничение сверху на скачок ветвления соответствует ограничению снизу на нормирование правой части уравнения. Задача построения расширений с заданной группой Галуа произвольного конечного порядка не решена. В работах Инабы рассматривались p-расширения полей характеристики p, заданные матричным уравнением $$X^{(p)}=AX$$, которое мы здесь называем уравнением Инабы. В этом уравнении $$X^{(p)}$$ обозначает матрицу, полученную возведением каждого элемента квадратной матрицы X в степень p, а - некоторая унипотентная матрица A над данным полем. Такое уравнение задает последовательность расширений полей, каждое из которых задано уравнением Артина-Шрайера. Было доказано, что любое уравнение Инабы задает расширение Галуа, и обратно, любое конечное p-расширение Галуа задается уравнением такого вида. В настоящей работе для полей смешанной характеристики доказано, что расширение, задаваемое уравнением Инабы, является расширением Галуа, если нормирования элементов матрицы удовлетворяют некоторым оценкам снизу, т.е. если скачки промежуточных расширений степени p достаточно малы. Данная конструкция может применяться при решении задачи погружения расширений полей. Уравнение Инабы задает последовательность расширений полей, полученную последовательным присоединением элементов диагоналей матрицы. Это означает, что, если расширение L/K задано уравнением Инабы, и матрица A выбрана так, что на диагоналях с большими номерами записаны нули, то можно получать расширения, содержащие L/K, заменяя нули другими элементами. В работе доказано, что любое нециклическое расширение степени $$p^2$$ с достаточно маленькими скачками можно погрузить в расширение с группой Галуа, изоморфнной группе унипотентных матриц $$3\times 3$$ над полем из p элементов. В конце статьи сформулирован ряд открытых вопросов, при исследовании которых, возможно, окажется полезной данная конструкция.

Let G be a special orthogonal group SO(2n+1) defined over a p-adic field F. Let $\pi$ be an admissible irreducible representation of G(F) which is tempered and of unipotent reduction. We prove that $\pi$ has a wave front set. In some particular cases, for instance if $\pi$ is of the discrete series, we give a method to compute this wave front set., Comment: in French

We study the unipotent Albanese map appearing in the non-abelian Chabauty method of Minhyong Kim. In particular we explore the explicit computation of the $p$-adic de Rham period map $j^{dr}_n$ on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves over number fields via their universal unipotent connections $\mathcal{U}$. Several algorithms forming part of the computation of finite level versions $j^{dr}_n$ of the unipotent Albanese maps are presented. The computation of the logarithmic extension of $\mathcal{U}$ in general requires a description in terms of an open covering, and can be regarded as a simple example of computational descent theory. We also demonstrate a constructive version of a lemma of Hadian used in the computation of the Hodge filtration on $\mathcal{U}$ over affine elliptic and odd hyperelliptic curves. We use these algorithms to present some new examples describing the co-ordinates of some of these period maps. This description will be given in terms iterated $p$-adic Coleman integrals. We also consider the computation of the co-ordinates if we replace the rational basepoint with a tangential basepoint, and present some new examples here as well., Comment: 60 pages

We construct two supercharacter theories (in the sense of P. Diaconis and I.M. Isaacs) for the parabolic subgroups in orthogonal and symplectic groups. For each supercharacter theory, we obtain a supercharacter analog of the A.A. Kirillov formula for irreducible characters of finite unipotent groups.

We establish an effective version of the classical Lie–Kolchin Theorem. Namely, let A , B ∈ GL m ( C ) be quasi-unipotent matrices such that the Jordan Canonical Form of B consists of a single block, and suppose that for all k ⩾ 0 the matrix A B k is also quasi-unipotent. Then A and B have a common eigenvector. In particular, 〈 A , B 〉 GL m ( C ) is a solvable subgroup. We give applications of this result to the representation theory of mapping class groups of orientable surfaces.

In this paper we start the study of configurations of flags in closed orbits of real forms using mainly tools of GIT. As an application, using cross ratio coordinates for generic configurations, we identify boundary unipotent representations of the fundamental group of the figure eight knot complement into real forms of $${{\,\mathrm{PGL}\,}}(4,{\mathbb {C}})$$ .

Let $G$ be a finite Chevalley group. We are concerned with computing the values of the unipotent characters of $G$ by making use of Lusztig's theory of character sheaves. In this framework, one has to find the transformation between several bases for the class functions on $G$. In principle, this has been achieved by Lusztig and Shoji, but the underlying process involves some scalars which are still unknown in many cases. We shall determine these scalars in the specific case where $G$ is the (twisted or non-twisted) group of type $E_6$ over the finite field with $q$ elements, for $q$ a power of the bad prime $p=3$, by exploiting known facts about the representation theory of the Hecke algebra associated with $G$., Comment: 12 pages

We study some special types of bands of E-inversive unipotent semigroups. It has been proved that in any R-semigroup S, which is a band of E-inversive unipotent semigroups, the set of its regular elements is a retract of S. Also, some characterizations of E-inversive rectangular bands of unipotent semigroups are given. This theorem extends nearly 40-old results from the theory of epigroups. In fact, a more general result is valid in some special subclass of the class of E-inversive semigroups; this result seems to be (partially) new for all epigroups.

We study representations of the general and the special linear groups over a non-archimedean local field that admit a non-zero invariant linear form with respect to the symplectic group (henceforth distinguished representations). For the class of ladder representations that are distinguished we show that applying the highest derivative operation twice results in a distinguished (ladder) representation. Furthermore, we characterize the unique distinguished component of the associated L-packet of representations of the special linear group in terms of the associated maximal unipotent orbit. We also obtain a sufficient condition for distinction of standard modules.

We prove that if G is a finite simple group, then all irreducible complex representations of G may be realized over the real numbers if and only if every element of G may be written as a product of two involutions in G. This follows from our result that if q is a power of 2, then all irreducible complex representations of the orthogonal groups $$\mathrm {O}^{\pm }(2n,\mathbb {F}_q)$$ may be realized over the real numbers. We also obtain generating functions for the sums of degrees of several sets of unipotent characters of finite orthogonal groups.

This paper has two main parts. Firstly, we give a classification of the $\ell$-blocks of finite special linear and unitary groups $SL_n(\epsilon q)$ in the non-defining characteristic $\ell\ge 3$. Secondly, we describe how the $\ell$-weights of $SL_n(\epsilon q)$ can be obtained from the $\ell$-weights of $GL_n(\epsilon q)$ when $\ell\nmid\mathrm{gcd}(n,q-\epsilon)$, and verify the Alperin weight conjecture for $SL_n(\epsilon q)$ under the condition $\ell\nmid\mathrm{gcd}(n,q-\epsilon)$. As a step to establish the Alperin weight conjecture for all finite groups, we prove the inductive blockwise Alperin weight condition for any unipotent $\ell$-block of $SL_n(\epsilon q)$ if $\ell\nmid\mathrm{gcd}(n,q-\epsilon)$., Comment: revised version, to appear in Journal of Algebra

We consider a family of smooth perturbations of unipotent flows on compact quotients of SL $${(3,\mathbb{R})}$$ which are not time-changes. More precisely, given a unipotent vector field, we perturb it by adding a non-constant component in a commuting direction. We prove that, if the resulting flow preserves a measure equivalent to Haar, then it is parabolic and mixing. The proof is based on a geometric shearing mechanism together with a non-homogeneous version of Mautner Phenomenon for homogeneous flows. Moreover, we characterize smoothly trivial perturbations and we relate the existence of non-trivial perturbations to the failure of cocycle rigidity of parabolic actions in SL $${(3,\mathbb{R})}$$ .

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$. The classification of the conjugacy classes of unipotent elements of $G(k)$ and nilpotent orbits of $G$ on $\operatorname{Lie}(G)$ is well-established. One knows there are representatives of every unipotent class as a product of root group elements and every nilpotent orbit as a sum of root elements. We give explicit representatives in terms of a Chevalley basis for the eminent classes. A unipotent (resp. nilpotent) element is said to be eminent if it is not contained in any subsystem subgroup (resp. subalgebra), or a natural generalisation if $G$ is of type $D_n$. From these representatives, it is straightforward to generate representatives for any given class. Along the way we also prove recognition theorems for identifying both the unipotent classes and nilpotent orbits of exceptional algebraic groups., 26 pages

This work concerns the representation theory and cohomology of a finite unipotent supergroup scheme $G$ over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic $p\ge 3$. It is proved that an element $x$ in the cohomology of $G$ is nilpotent if and only if for every extension field $K$ of $k$ and every elementary sub-supergroup scheme $E\subseteq G_K$, the restriction of $x_K$ to $E$ is nilpotent. It is also shown that a $kG$-module $M$ is projective if and only if for every extension field $K$ of $k$ and every elementary sub-supergroup scheme $E\subseteq G_K$, the restriction of $M_K$ to $E$ is projective. The statements are motivated by, and are analogues of, similar results for finite groups and finite group schemes, but the structure of elementary supergroups schemes necessary for detection is more complicated than in either of these cases. One application is a detection theorem for the nilpotence of cohomology, and projectivity of modules, over finite dimensional Hopf subalgebras of the Steenrod algebra., 46 pages; Sections 12 on Z-graded group schemes and the Steenrod algebra is revised compared to the previous version

We prove a general theorem for constructing integral quantum cluster algebras over Z[q±1/2], namely, that under mild conditions the integral forms of quantum nilpotent algebras always possess integral quantum cluster algebra structures. These algebras are then shown to be isomorphic to the corresponding upper quantum cluster algebras, again defined over Z[q±1/2]. Previously, this was only known for acyclic quantum cluster algebras. The theorem is applied to prove that, for every symmetrizable Kac–Moody algebra g and Weyl group element w, the dual canonical form Aq(n+(w))Z[q±1] of the corresponding quantum unipotent cell has the property that Aq(n+(w))Z[q±1]⊗Z[q±1]Z[q±1/2] is isomorphic to a quantum cluster algebra over Z[q±1/2] and to the corresponding upper quantum cluster algebra over Z[q±1/2].

Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic two. As the main result of this paper, for every nilpotent element $e \in \mathfrak{sl}(V)$, we describe the Jordan normal form of $e$ on the $\mathfrak{sl}(V)$-modules $\wedge^2(V)$ and $S^2(V)$. In the case where $e$ is a regular nilpotent element, we are able to give a closed formula. We also consider the closely related problem of describing, for every unipotent element $u \in \operatorname{SL}(V)$, the Jordan normal form of $u$ on $\wedge^2(V)$ and $S^2(V)$. A recursive formula for the Jordan block sizes of $u$ on $\wedge^2(V)$ was given by Gow and Laffey (J. Group Theory 9 (2006), 659-672). We show that their proof can be adapted to give a similar formula for the Jordan block sizes of $u$ on $S^2(V)$., to appear in Linear Algebra and its Applications

We identify the perverse filtration of a Lagrangian fibration with the monodromy weight filtration of a maximally unipotent degeneration of compact hyper-Kähler manifolds.

Our computations show that there is a total of $40$ pairs of degree six coprime polynomials $f,g$ where $f(x)=(x-1)^6$, $g$ is a product of cyclotomic polynomials, $g(0)=1$ and $f,g$ form a primitive pair. The aim of this article is to determine whether the corresponding $40$ symplectic hypergeometric groups with a maximally unipotent monodromy follow the same dichotomy between arithmeticity and thinness that holds for the $14$ symplectic hypergeometric groups corresponding to the pairs of degree four polynomials $f,g$ where $f(x)=(x-1)^4$ and $g$ is as described above. As a result we prove that at least $18$ of these $40$ groups are arithmetic in $\mathrm{Sp}(6)$. In addition, we extend our search to all degree six symplectic hypergeometric groups. We find that there is a total of $458$ pairs of polynomials (up to scalar shifts) corresponding to such groups. For $211$ of them, the absolute values of the leading coefficients of the difference polynomials $f-g$ are at most $2$ and the arithmeticity of the corresponding groups follows from Singh and Venkataramana, while the arithmeticity of one more hypergeometric group follows from Detinko, Flannery and Hulpke. In this article, we show the arithmeticity of $160$ of the remaining $246$ hypergeometric groups., Comment: 25 Pages, 4 Tables. Author's list has been updated. The article has been reorganized. New results have been found and incorporated

Let u be a unipotent element in the totally positive part of a complex reductive group. We consider the intersection of the Springer fibre at u with the totally positive part of the flag manifold. We show that this intersection has a natural cell decomposition which is part of the cell decomposition (Rietsch) of the totally positive flag manifold., Comment: 20 pages. A new section has been added

Using the geometric Satake correspondence, the Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles in the affine Grasssmannian give bases for representations of a semisimple group G . We prove that these bases are "perfect", i.e. compatible with the action of the Chevelley generators of the positive half of the Lie algebra g. We compute this action in terms of intersection multiplicities in the affine Grassmannian. We prove that these bases stitch together to a basis for the algebra C[N] of regular functions on the unipotent subgroup. We compute the multiplication in this MV basis using intersection multiplicities in the Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian, thus proving a conjecture of Anderson. In the third part of the paper, we define a map from C[N] to a convolution algebra of measures on the dual of the Cartan subalgebra of g. We characterize this map using the universal centralizer space of G. We prove that the measure associated to an MV basis element equals the Duistermaat-Heckman measure of the corresponding MV cycle. This leads to a proof of a conjecture of Muthiah. Finally, we use the map to measures to compare the MV basis and Lusztig's dual semicanonical basis. We formulate conjectures relating the algebraic invariants of preprojective algebra modules (which underlie the dual semicanonical basis) and geometric invariants of MV cycles. In the appendix, we use these ideas to prove that the MV basis and the dual semicanonical basis do not coincide in SL_6., 82 pages, with an appendix by Calder Morton-Ferguson and Anne Dranowski

The formal degree of a unipotent discrete series character of a simple linear algebraic group over a non-archimedean local field (in the sense of Lusztig [17] ), is a rational function of q evaluated at q = q , the cardinality of the residue field. The irreducible factors of this rational function are q and cyclotomic polynomials. We prove that the formal degree of a supercuspidal unipotent representation determines its Lusztig-Langlands parameter, up to twisting by weakly unramified characters. For split exceptional groups this result follows from the work of M. Reeder [28] , and for the remaining exceptional cases this is verified in [7] . In the present paper we treat the classical families. The main result of this article characterizes unramified Lusztig-Langlands parameters which support a cuspidal local system in terms of formal degrees. The result implies the uniqueness of so-called cuspidal spectral transfer morphisms (as introduced in [22] ) between unipotent affine Hecke algebras (up to twisting by unramified characters). In [23] the essential uniqueness of arbitrary unipotent spectral transfer morphisms was reduced to the cuspidal case.

Dual canonical bases are expected to satisfy a certain (double) triangularity property by Leclerc's conjecture. We propose an analogous conjecture for common triangular bases of quantum cluster algebras. We show that a weaker form of the analogous conjecture is true. Our result applies to the dual canonical bases of quantum unipotent subgroups. It also applies to the t-analogs of q-characters of simple modules of quantum affine algebras.

Let $G$ be a classical group with natural module $V$ and Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ of good characteristic. For rational irreducible representations $f: G \rightarrow \operatorname{GL}(W)$ occurring as composition factors of $V \otimes V^*$, $\wedge^2(V)$, and $S^2(V)$, we describe the Jordan normal form of $\mathrm{d} f(e)$ for all nilpotent elements $e \in \mathfrak{g}$. The description is given in terms of the Jordan block sizes of the action of $e$ on $V \otimes V^*$, $\wedge^2(V)$, and $S^2(V)$, for which recursive formulae are known. Our results are in analogue to earlier work (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 147 (2019) 4205-4219), where we considered these same representations and described the Jordan normal form of $f(u)$ for every unipotent element $u \in G$., to appear in J. Pure Appl. Algebra

In his theory of unipotent characters of finite groups of Lie type, Lusztig constructed modular categories from two-sided cells in Weyl groups. Brou\'e,Malle and Michel have extended parts of Lusztig's theory to complex reflection groups. This includes generalizations of the corresponding fusion algebras, although the presence of negative structure constants prevents them from arising from modular categories. We give here the first construction of braided pivotal monoidal categories associated with non-real reflection groups (later reinterpreted by Lacabanne as super modular categories). They are associated with cyclic groups, and their fusion algebras are those constructed by Malle., Comment: 26 pages

We introduce and study the maximal unipotent finite quotient for algebraic group schemes in positive characteristics. Applied to Picard schemes, this quotient encodes unusual torsion. We construct integral Fano threefolds where such unusual torsion actually appears. The existence of such threefolds is surprising, because the torsion vanishes for del Pezzo surfaces. Our construction relies on the theory of exceptional Enriques surfaces, as developed by Ekedahl and Shepherd-Barron., Comment: 29 pages; minor changes

Let $G$ be a semisimple real algebraic Lie group of real rank at least two and $U$ be the unipotent radical of a non-trivial parabolic subgroup. We prove that a discrete Zariski dense subgroup of $G$ that contains an irreducible lattice of $U$ is an arithmetic lattice of $G$. This solves a conjecture of Margulis and extends previous work of Hee Oh., Comment: 54 pages

Suppose that $G$ is a simple adjoint reductive group over $\mathbf{Q}$, with an exceptional Dynkin type, and with $G(\mathbf{R})$ quaternionic (in the sense of Gross-Wallach). Then there is a notion of modular forms for $G$, anchored on the so-called quaternionic discrete series representations of $G(\mathbf{R})$. The purpose of this paper is to give an explicit form of the Fourier expansion of modular forms on $G$, along the unipotent radical $N$ of the Heisenberg parabolic $P = MN$ of $G$., Comment: changed title; broadened definition of modular form; added discussion of constant term and Klingen Eisenstein series

We provide a “soft” proof for nontrivial bounds on spherical, hyperbolic, and unipotent Fourier coefficients of a fixed Maass form for a general cofinite lattice Γ \Gamma in PGL 2 ⁡ ( R ) {\operatorname {PGL}_2(\mathbb {R})} . We use the amplification method based on the Airy type phenomenon for corresponding matrix coefficients and an effective Selberg type pointwise asymptotic for the lattice points counting in various homogeneous spaces for the group PGL 2 ⁡ ( R ) {\operatorname {PGL}_2(\mathbb {R})} . This requires only L 2 L^2 -theory. We also show how to use the uniform bound for the L 4 L^4 -norm of K K -types in a fixed automorphic representation of PGL 2 ⁡ ( R ) {\operatorname {PGL}_2(\mathbb {R})} in order to slightly improve these bounds.
