Representations of categories of finite relational structures and associated endomorphism monoids
Liping Li
We develop a unified representation theory for the categories of finite substructures of highly homogeneous relational structures classified by Cameron. For any commutative coefficient ring $k$, we extend the classical Dold-Kan correspondence to this setting-with the sole exception of the category $\mathrm{FA}$-and prove that finitely generated representations are noetherian (resp., artinian) when $k$ is noetherian (resp., artinian). When $k$ is a field of characteristic $0$, we obtain a precise structural description of these representation categories. We classify irreducible representations, show that every indecomposable standard modules either is irreducible (the regular case) or has length 2 (the singular case), and establish a (direct sum or triangular) decomposition into a singular component governed by classical Dold-Kan theory and a regular component exhibiting semisimplicity or representation stability. Finally, we establish a monoidal generalization of Artin's reconstruction theorem for topological groups, proving an equivalence between uniformly continuous representations of infinite endomorphism monoids and sheaves on the associated finite substructure categories. In the special case where the endomorphism monoid is a permutation group, our result recovers Artin's theorem.
Modular reduction of complex representations of finite reductive groups
Roman Bezrukavnikov, Michael Finkelberg, David Kazhdan
et al.
The main result describes the Brauer-Nesbitt reduction of unipotent representations of a finite group of Lie type, expressing it as an explicit linear combination of the restriction of Weyl modules from the algebraic group to the group of $\mathbb{F}_q$ points. This partly confirms Lusztig's conjecture (2021), which was the main source of motivation for this work. The explicit virtual representations of the algebraic group come from a certain endomorphism of the space ${\mathbb Z}[T]$ of regular functions on the torus which approximates pullback under Frobenius and is linear over the ring ${\mathbb Z}[T]^W$ of $W$-invariant functions. This endomorphism is constructed from a new basis for ${\mathbb Z}[T]$ over ${\mathbb Z}[T]^W$ which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig-Steinberg basis. We compare this basis to the canonical basis appearing in the study of modular representations of the algebraic group and the related noncommutative Springer resolution. This leads to canonically defined objects in the derived category of $G$-modules representing the above virtual representations and to a geometric interpretation for the resulting lift of the principal series representation $\overline{\mathbb{F}_q} [G/P(\mathbb{F}_q)]$ to a virtual representation of the algebraic group, which comes from a decomposition of diagonal in the equivariant Grothendieck group of the partial flag variety.
A tensor-triangular property for categories of representations of restricted Lie algebras
Justin Bloom
We define a property for restricted Lie algebras in terms of cohomological support and tensor-triangular geometry of their categories of representations. By Tannakian reconstruction, the different symmetric tensor category structures on the underlying linear category of representations of a restricted Lie algebra correspond to different cocommutative Hopf algebra structures on the restricted enveloping algebra. In turn this equates together the linear categories of representations for various group scheme structures. The tensor triangular spectrum, for representations of a restricted Lie algebra, is known to be isomorphic to the scheme of 1-parameter subgroups of the infinitesimal group scheme structure associated to the Lie algebra. Points in the spectrum of a tensor triangulated category correspond to minimal radical thick tensor-ideals, provided the spectrum is noetherian, as is known in our case of finite group schemes. When the group scheme structure changes from the Lie algebra structure, a set of subgroups can still yield points of the spectrum, but there may not be enough to cover the spectrum. Restricted Lie algebras satisfy our property if, for each group scheme structure, the remaining set of subgroups correspond to minimal radical thick tensor-ideals having identical Green-ring structure to that of the original Lie algebra. Some small examples of algebras of finite and tame representation type satisfying our property are given. We show that no abelian restricted Lie algebra of wild representation type may have our property. We conjecture that satisfying our property is equivalent to having finite or tame representation type.
Theta lifting for tempered representations of real unitary groups
Atsushi Ichino
We study the theta lifting for real unitary groups and completely determine the theta lifts of tempered representations. In particular, we show that the theta lifts of (limits of) discrete series representations can be expressed as cohomologically induced representations in the weakly fair range. This extends a result of J.-S. Li in the case of discrete series representations with sufficiently regular infinitesimal character, whose theta lifts can be expressed as cohomologically induced representations in the good range.
Hodge Representations
Xiayimei Han, Colleen Robles
Hodge representations were introduced by Green-Griffiths-Kerr to classify the Hodge groups of polarized Hodge structures, and the corresponding Mumford-Tate subdomains of a period domain. The purpose of this article is to provide an exposition of how, given a fixed period domain $\mathcal{D}$, to enumerate the Hodge representations corresponding to Mumford-Tate subdomains $D \subset \mathcal{D}$. After reviewing the well-known classical cases that $\mathcal{D}$ is Hermitian symmetric (weight $n=1$, and weight $n=2$ with $p_g = h^{2,0}=1$), we illustrate this in the case that $\mathcal{D}$ is the period domain parameterizing polarized Hodge structures of (effective) weight two Hodge structures with first Hodge number $p_g = h^{2,0} = 2$. We also classify the Hodge representations of Calabi-Yau type, and enumerate the horizontal representations of CY 3-fold type. (The "horizontal" representations those with the property that corresponding domain $D \subset \mathcal{D}$ satisfies the infinitesimal period relation, a.k.a. Griffiths' transversality, and is therefore Hermitian.)
Gamma factors of level zero supercuspidal representations
Chang Yang
We give an explicit formula for the twisted gamma factor for a pair of irreducible supercuspidal representations of level zero. We also obtain an explicit formula for the unramified base change of level zero supercuspidal representations.
Unitarity of Unipotent Representations of Sp(p,q) and SO*(2n)
Dan M. Barbasch, Peter E. Trapa
The purpose of this paper is to define a set of representations of Sp(p,q) and SO*(2n), the unipotent representations of the title, and establish their unitarity. The unipotent representations considered here properly contain the special unipotent representations of Arthur and Barbasch-Vogan; in particular we settle the unitarity of special unipotent representations for these groups.
Adjoint Representations of the Symmetric Group
Mahir Bilen Can, Miles Jones
We study the restriction to the symmetric group, $\mc{S}_n$ of the adjoint representation of $\mt{GL}_n(\C)$. We determine the irreducible constituents of the space of symmetric as well as the space of skew-symmetric $n\times n$ matrices as $\mc{S}_n$-modules.
Branching laws for the Steinberg representation: the rank 1 case
Paul Broussous
Let $G/H$ be a reductive symmetric space over a $p$-adic field $F$, the algebraic groups $G$ and $H$ being assumed semisimple of relative rank $1$. One of the branching problems for the Steinberg representation $\St_G$ of $G$ is the determination of the dimension of the intertwining space ${\rm Hom}_H (\St_G ,π)$, for any irreducible representation $π$ of $H$. In this work we do not compute this dimension, but show how it is related to the dimensions of some other intertwining spaces ${\rm Hom}_{K_i} ({\tilde π} ,1)$, for a certain finite family $K_i$, $i=1,...,r$, of anisotropic subgroups of $H$ (here ${\tilde π}$ denote the contragredient representation, and $1$ the trivial character). In other words we show that there is a sort of `reciprocity law' relating two different branching problems.
Dimension of the space of intertwining operators from degenerate principal series representations
Taito Tauchi
Let $X$ be a homogeneous space of a real reductive Lie group $G$. It was proved by T. Kobayashi and T. Oshima that the regular representation $C^{\infty}(X)$ contains each irreducible representation of $G$ at most finitely many times if a minimal parabolic subgroup $P$ of $G$ has an open orbit in $X$, or equivalently, if the number of $P$-orbits on $X$ is finite. In contrast to the minimal parabolic case, for a general parabolic subgroup $Q$ of $G$, we find a new example that the regular representation $C^{\infty}(X)$ contains degenerate principal series representations induced from $Q$ with infinite multiplicity even when the number of $Q$-orbits on $X$ is finite.
Asymptotic behaviors of representations of graded categories with inductive functors
Wee Liang Gan, Liping Li
In this paper we describe an inductive machinery to investigate asymptotic behaviors of homology groups and related invariants of representations of certain graded combinatorial categories over a commutative Noetherian ring $k$, via introducing inductive functors which generalize important properties of shift functors of $\mathrm{FI}$-modules. In particular, a sufficient criterion for finiteness of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of finitely generated representations of these categories is obtained. As applications, we show that a few important infinite combinatorial categories appearing in representation stability theory are equipped with inductive functors, and hence the finiteness of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of their finitely generated representations is guaranteed. We also prove that truncated representations of these categories have linear minimal resolutions by relative projective modules, which are precisely linear minimal projective resolutions when $k$ is a field of characteristic 0.
The Representation Dimension of a Selfinjective Algebra of Euclidean Type
Ibrahim Assem, Andrzej Skowroński, Sonia Trepode
We prove that the representation dimension of a selfinjective algebra of euclidean type is equal to three, and give an explicit construction of the Auslander generator of its module category.
On the local theta representation
Chun-Hui Wang
We study the algebraic framework in which one can define, in the manner of the theta correspondence, a correspondence between representations of two locally profinite groups $H_1$, $H_2$. In particular, we examine when and how such a correspondence can be extended to bigger groups $G_1$, $G_2$ containing $H_1$, $H_2$ respectively as normal subgroups. As an application, we discuss the theta correspondence for a reductive dual pair of the similitude groups in the non-archimedean case.
Exceptional representations of quivers
Claus Michael Ringel
Let Q be a connected directed quiver with n vertices. We show that Q is representation-infinite if and only if there do exist n isomorphism classes of exceptional modules of some fixed length at least 2.
Minimal representations via Bessel operators
Joachim Hilgert, Toshiyuki Kobayashi, Jan Möllers
We construct an L^2-model of "very small" irreducible unitary representations of simple Lie groups G which, up to finite covering, occur as conformal groups Co(V) of simple Jordan algebras V. If $V$ is split and G is not of type A_n, then the representations are minimal in the sense that the annihilators are the Joseph ideals. Our construction allows the case where G does not admit minimal representations. In particular, applying to Jordan algebras of split rank one we obtain the entire complementary series representations of SO(n,1)_0. A distinguished feature of these representations in all cases is that they attain the minimum of the Gelfand--Kirillov dimensions among irreducible unitary representations. Our construction provides a unified way to realize the irreducible unitary representations of the Lie groups in question as Schroedinger models in L^2-spaces on Lagrangian submanifolds of the minimal real nilpotent coadjoint orbits. In this realization the Lie algebra representations are given explicitly by differential operators of order at most two, and the key new ingredient is a systematic use of specific second-order differential operators (Bessel operators) which are naturally defined in terms of the Jordan structure.
Combinatorial operators for Kronecker powers of representations of $§_n$
Alain Goupil, Cedric Chauve
We present combinatorial operators for the expansion of the Kronecker product of irreducible representations of the symmetric group. These combinatorial operators are defined in the ring of symmetric functions and act on the Schur functions basis. This leads to a combinatorial description of the Kronecker powers of the irreducible representations indexed with the partition (n-1,1) which specializes the concept of oscillating tableaux in Young's lattice previously defined by S. Sundaram. We call our specialization {\it Kronecker tableaux}. Their combinatorial analysis leads to enumerative results for the multiplicity of any irreducible representation in the Kronecker powers of the form ${\c^{(n-1,1)}}^{\otimes k}$.
Representation theory for dilute lattice models
Bruce W Westbury
In this paper we study the representation theory of the algebras generated by the single bond transfer matrices in dilute lattice models. This representation theory is related to a tensor product of monoidal categories. This construction is illustrated by an elementary example and by the dilute Temperley-Lieb algebras.
Diamond representations of $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$
Didier Arnal, Nadia Bel Baraka, Norman J. Wildberger
In \cite{W}, there is a graphic description of any irreducible, finite dimensional $\mathfrak{sl}(3)$ module. This construction, called diamond representation is very simple and can be easily extended to the space of irreducible finite dimensional ${\mathcal U}\_q(\mathfrak{sl}(3))$-modules. In the present work, we generalize this construction to $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$. We show this is in fact a description of the reduced shape algebra, a quotient of the shape algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$. The basis used in \cite{W} is thus naturally parametrized with the so called quasi standard Young tableaux. To compute the matrix coefficients of the representation in this basis, it is possible to use Groebner basis for the ideal of reduced Plücker relations defining the reduced shape algebra.
Representation Theory and Numerical AF-invariants: The representations and centralizers of certain states on O_d
Ola Bratteli, Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Vasyl Ostrovskyi
Let O_d be the Cuntz algebra on generators S_1,...,S_d, 2 \leq d < \infty, and let D_d \subset O_d be the abelian subalgebra generated by monomials S_αS_α^* =S_{α_{1}}...S_{α_{k}}S_{α_{k}}^*...S_{α_{1}}^* where α=(α_1...α_k) ranges over all multi-indices formed from {1,...,d}. In any representation of O_d, D_d may be simultaneously diagonalized. Using S_i(S_αS_α^*) =(S_{iα}S_{iα}^*)S_i, we show that the operators S_i from a general representation of O_d may be expressed directly in terms of the spectral representation of D_d. We use this in describing a class of type III representations of O_d and corresponding endomorphisms, and the heart of the paper is a description of an associated family of AF-algebras arising as the fixed-point algebras of the associated modular automorphism groups. Chapters 5--18 are devoted to finding effective methods to decide isomorphism and non-isomorphism in this class of AF-algebras.
Projective unitary representations of smooth Deligne cohomology groups
Kiyonori Gomi
We construct projective unitary representations of the smooth Deligne cohomology group of a compact oriented Riemannian manifold of dimension 4k+1, generalizing positive energy representations of the loop group of the circle. We also classify such representations under a certain condition. The number of the equivalence classes of irreducible representations is finite, and is determined by the cohomology of the manifold.
