VI-modules in non-describing characteristic, part II

Characteristic Classes and Fredholm Modules

We derive simple explicit formula for the character of a cycle in the Connes’ (b, B)-bicomplex of cyclic cohomology and apply it to write formulas for the equivariant Chern character and characters of finitely-summable bounded Fredholm modules.

Homomorphisms between Verma Modules in Characteristic P

Let g be a complex semisimple Lie algebra, with a Bore1 subalgebra b c g and Cartan subalgebra h c b. In classifying the finite dimensional representations of g, Cartan showed that any simple finite dimensional g-module has a generating element u, annihilated by n = [b, b], on which h acts by a linear form I E h*. Such an element is called a primitive vector (for the module). Harish-Chandra [9]...

The Irreducible Specht Modules in Characteristic 2

In the representation theory of nite groups it is useful to know which ordinary irreducible representations remain irreducible modulo a prime p. For the symmetric groups S n this amounts to determining which Specht modules are irreducible over a eld of characteristic p. Throughout this note we work in characteristic 2, and in this case we classify the irreducible Specht modules, thereby verifyi...

Part VI Example Problems

An object is cloaked if its presence cannot be detected by an observer using electromagnetic or other forms of imaging. In fact, the observer should not notice that cloaking is even occurring. Cloaking has a long history in science fiction, but recent developments have put the idea on a firmer mathematical and physical basis. Suppose that an observer seeks to image some bounded region Ω in spac...
