##### Article: Integral structures in the $p$-adic holomorphic discrete series
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: For a local non-Archimedean field $K$ we construct ${\rm GL}_{d+1}(K)$-equivariant coherent sheaves ${\mathcal V}_{{\mathcal O}_K}$ on the formal ${\mathcal O}_K$-scheme ${\mathfrak X}$ underlying the symmetric space $X$ over $K$ of dimension $d$. These ${\mathcal V}_{{\mathcal O}_K}$ are ${\mathcal O}_K$-lattices in (the sheaf version of) the holomorphic discrete series representations (in $K$-vector spaces) of ${\rm GL}_{d+1}(K)$ as defined by P. Schneider \cite{schn}. We prove that the cohomology $H^t({\mathfrak X},{\mathcal V}_{{\mathcal O}_K})$ vanishes for $t>0$, for ${\mathcal V}_{{\mathcal O}_K}$ in a certain subclass. The proof is related to the other main topic of this paper: over a finite field $k$, the study of the cohomology of vector bundles on the natural normal crossings compactification $Y$ of the Deligne-Lusztig variety $Y^0$ for ${\rm GL}_{d+1}/k$ (so $Y^0$ is the open subscheme of ${\mathbb P}_k^d$ obtained by deleting all its $k$-rational hyperplanes).

##### Article: Evaluating Characteristic Functions of Character Sheaves at Unipotent Elements
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Assume $\mathbf{G}$ is a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraic closure $\mathbb{K} = \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of the finite field of prime order $p>0$. Furthermore, assume that $F : \mathbf{G} \to \mathbf{G}$ is a Frobenius endomorphism of $\mathbf{G}$. In this article we give a formula for the value of any $F$-stable character sheaf of $\mathbf{G}$ at a unipotent element. This formula is expressed in terms of class functions of $\mathbf{G}^F$ which are supported on a single unipotent class of $\mathbf{G}$. In general these functions are not determined, however we give an expression for these functions under the assumption that $Z(\mathbf{G})$ is connected, $\mathbf{G}/Z(\mathbf{G})$ is simple and $p$ is a good prime for $\mathbf{G}$. In this case our formula is completely explicit.

##### Article: Geometric local theta correspondence for dual reductive pairs of type II at the Iwahori level
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper we are interested in the geometric local theta correspondence at the Iwahori level for dual reductive pairs $(G,H)$ of type II over a non-Archimedean field of characteristic $p\neq 2$ in the framework of the geometric Langlands program. We consider the geometric version of the $I_{H}\times I_{G}$-invariants of the Weil representation $\mathcal{S}^{I_{H}\times I_{G}}$ as a bimodule under the of action Iwahori-Hecke algebras $\mathcal{H}_{I_{G}}$ and $\mathcal{H}_{I_{H}}$ and we give some partial geometric description of the corresponding category under the action of Hecke functors. We also define geometric Jacquet functors for any connected reductive group $G$ at the Iwahori level and we show that they commute with the Hecke action of the $\mathcal{H}_{I_{L}}$-subelgebra of $\mathcal{H}_{I_{G}}$ for a Levi subgroup $L$.

• ##### Article: The Capelli identity for Grassmann manifolds
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Generalizations and eigenvalue problems of Capelli-type identities have received a lot of attention. In [Colloq. Math. 118, No. 1, 349–364 (2010; Zbl 1194.22015)], R. Howe and S.-T. Lee considered a certain O n -invariant Capelli-type differential operator, a product of the determinants of matrices of variables and corresponding partial derivatives, in the context of Grassmannians of k planes in ℂ n . In the article, they raised an eigenvalue problem for the differential operator. When k=1, the problem is reduced to the classical theory of harmonic polynomials, and they solved the problem when k=2. The article under review answers the question for general k. More precisely, the author solves the eigenvalue problem for a certain family of O n -invariant Cappelli-type differential operators, to which the differential operator that Howe and Lee considered belongs. This is done by methods, which are completely different from those Howe and Lee used. The author achieved it by imbedding the problem into a more general setting of the symmetric space SO n (ℝ)/( SO k (ℝ)× SO l (ℝ)). In the appendix, by combining the results of the article with those of M. Alexander and M. Nazarov [Math. Ann. 313, No. 2, 315–357 (1999; Zbl 0989.17006)] and M. Itoh [J. Lie Theory 10, No. 2, 463–489 (2000; Zbl 0981.17005)], the author also gives new Capelli-type identities for invariant differential operators for orthogonal Lie algebras.

##### Article: Distinguished conjugacy classes and elliptic Weyl group elements
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We define and study a correspondence between the set of distinguished G^0-conjugacy classes in a fixed connected component of a reductive group G (with G^0 almost simple) and the set of (twisted) elliptic conjugacy classes in the Weyl group. We also prove a homogeneity property related to this correspondence.

[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: (The present paper complements the author’s work [Compos. Math. 51, 333–399 (1984; Zbl 0624.22011)].) Let 𝔽 be a local field, non-Archimedean and of characteristic not 2. Let (V,Q) be a nondegenerate quadratic space over 𝔽 of dimension n. Let M r be the direct sum of r copies of V. We prove that, for r<n, there is no nonzero distribution on M r which under the action of the orthogonal group transforms according to the character determinant.

##### Article: Homological approach to the Hernandez-Leclerc construction and quiver varieties
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In a previous paper the authors have attached to each Dynkin quiver an associative algebra. The definition is categorical and the algebra is used to construct desingularizations of arbitrary quiver Grassmannians. In the present paper we prove that this algebra is isomorphic to an algebra constructed by Hernandez-Leclerc defined combinatorially and used to describe certain graded Nakajima quiver varieties. This approach is used to get an explicit realization of the orbit closures of representations of Dynkin quivers as affine quotients.

##### Article: Spin polynomial functors and representations of Schur superalgebras
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We introduce categories of homogeneous strict polynomial functors, $\Pol^\I_{d,\k}$ and $\Pol^\II_{d,\k}$, defined on vector superspaces over a field $\k$ of characteristic not equal 2. These categories are related to polynomial representations of the supergroups $GL(m|n)$ and Q(n), respectively. In particular, we prove an equivalence between $\Pol^\I_{d,\k}$, $\Pol^\II_{d,\k}$ and the category of finite dimensional supermodules over the Schur superalgebra $\Sc(m|n,d)$, $\Qc(n,d)$ respectively provided $m,n \ge d$. We also discuss some aspects of Sergeev duality from the viewpoint of the category $\Pol^\II_{d,\k}$.

##### Article: Cohomological finite generation for restricted Lie superalgebras and finite supergroup schemes
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We prove that the cohomology ring of a finite-dimensional restricted Lie superalgebra over a field of characteristic $p > 2$ is a finitely-generated algebra. Our proof makes essential use of the explicit projective resolution of the trivial module constructed by J. Peter May for any graded restricted Lie algebra. We then prove that the cohomological finite generation problem for finite supergroup schemes over fields of odd characteristic reduces to the existence of certain conjectured universal extension classes for the general linear supergroup $GL(m|n)$ that are similar to the universal extension classes for $GL_n$ exhibited by Friedlander and Suslin.

• ##### Article: On certain elements in the Bernstein center of GL 2
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The author studies the Bernstein center for GL 2 over a non-Archimedean local field using the work of A. Moy and M. Tadić [Represent. Theory 6, 313–329 (2002); erratum ibid. 9, 455–456 (2005; Zbl 1019.22007)]. Author’s summary: Let F be a nonarchimedean local field of residue characteristic p, and let r be an odd natural number less than p. Using the work of Moy and Tadić (loc. cit.), we find an element z of the Bernstein center of G= GL 2 (F) that acts on any representation π of G by the scalar z(π)= tr Frob ; Sym r ∘φ π I F , the trace of any geometric Frobenius element Frob of the absolute Weil group W F of F, acting on the inertia-fixed points of the representation Sym r ∘φ π of W F , where φ π :W F →G ^ is the restriction to W F of the Langlands parameter of π. This element z is specified by giving the functions obtained by convolving it with the characteristic functions of a large class of compact open subgroups of G, that includes all the groups of both the congruence and the Iwahori filtrations of G having depth at least one.

##### Article: On representations of rational Cherednik algebras in complex rank
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We study a family of abelian categories O_{c, t} depending on complex parameters c, t which are interpolations of the O-category for the rational Cherednik algebra H_c(t) of type A, where t is a positive integer. We define the notion of a Verma object in such a category (a natural analogue of the notion of Verma module). We give some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions for the existence of a non-trivial morphism between two such Verma objects. We also compute the character of the irreducible quotient of a Verma object for sufficiently generic values of parameters c, t, and prove that a Verma object of infinite length exists in O_{c, t} only if c is rational and c < 0. We also show that for every rational c < 0 there exists a rational t < 0 such that there exists a Verma object of infinite length in O_{c, t}. The latter result is an example of a degeneration phenomenon which can occur in rational values of t, as was conjectured by P. Etingof.

##### Article: On an analogue of the James conjecture
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We give a counterexample to the most optimistic analogue (due to Kleshchev and Ram) of the James conjecture for Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras associated to simply-laced Dynkin diagrams. The first counterexample occurs in type A_5 for p = 2 and involves the same singularity used by Kashiwara and Saito to show the reducibility of the characteristic variety of an intersection cohomology D-module on a quiver variety. Using recent results of Polo one can give counterexamples in type A in all characteristics.

##### Article: Positivity conjectures for Kazhdan-Lusztig theory on twisted involutions: the universal case
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and let $w \mapsto w^*$ be an involution of $W$ which preserves the set of simple generators $S$. Lusztig has recently shown that the set of twisted involutions (i.e., elements $w \in W$ with $w^{-1} = w^*$) naturally generates a module of the Hecke algebra of $(W,S)$ with two distinguished bases. The transition matrix between these bases defines a family of polynomials $P^\sigma_{y,w}$ which one can view as "twisted" analogs of the much-studied Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of $(W,S)$. The polynomials $P^\sigma_{y,w}$ can have negative coefficients, but display several conjectural positivity properties of interest. This paper reviews Lusztig's construction and then proves three such positivity properties for Coxeter systems which are universal (i.e., having no braids relations), generalizing previous work of Dyer. Our methods are entirely combinatorial and elementary, in contrast to the geometric arguments employed by Lusztig and Vogan to prove similar positivity conjectures for crystallographic Coxeter systems.

##### Article: Representations of Infinitesimal Cherednik Algebras
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Infinitesimal Cherednik algebras, first introduced in [EGG], are continuous analogues of rational Cherednik algebras, and in the case of gl_n, are deformations of universal enveloping algebras of the Lie algebras sl_{n+1}. Despite these connections, infinitesimal Cherednik algebras are not widely-studied, and basic questions of intrinsic algebraic and representation theoretical nature remain open. In the first half of this paper, we construct the complete center of H_\zeta(gl_n) for the case of n=2 and give one particular generator of the center, the Casimir operator, for general n. We find the action of this Casimir operator on the highest weight modules to prove the formula for the Shapovalov determinant, providing a criterion for the irreducibility of Verma modules. We classify all irreducible finite dimensional representations and compute their characters. In the second half, we investigate Poisson-analogues of the infinitesimal Cherednik algebras and use them to gain insight on the center of H_\zeta(gl_n). Finally, we investigate H_\zeta(sp_{2n}) and extend various results from the theory of H_\zeta(gl_n), such as a generalization of Kostant's theorem.

##### Article: Demazure modules and graded limits of minimal affinizations
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: For a minimal affinization over a quantum loop algebra of type BC, we provide a character formula in terms of Demazure operators and multiplicities in terms of crystal bases. We also provide a simple formula for the limit of characters. These are achieved by verifying that its graded limit (a variant of a classical limit) is isomorphic to some multiple generalization of a Demazure module, and by determining the defining relations of the graded limit.

##### Article: Tempered Representations and Nilpotent Orbits
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Given a nilpotent orbit O of a real, reductive algebraic group, a necessary condition is given for the existence of a tempered representation pi such that O occurs in the wave front cycle of pi. The coefficients of the wave front cycle of a tempered representation are expressed in terms of volumes of precompact submanifolds of an affine space.
