Descent Sets for Symplectic Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
The descent set of an oscillating (or up-down) tableau is introduced. This descent set plays the same role in the representation theory of the symplectic groups as the descent set of a standard tableau plays in the representation theory of the general linear groups. In particular, we show that the descent set is preserved by Sundaram's correspondence. This gives a direct combinatorial interpretation of the branching rules for the de ning representations of the symplectic groups; equivalently, for the Frobenius character of the action of a symmetric group on an isotypic subspace in a tensor power of the de ning representation of a symplectic group.

Theta functions on covers of symplectic groups
We study the automorphic theta representation $Theta_{2n}^{(r)}$ on the $r$-fold cover of the symplectic group $Sp_{2n}$. This representation is obtained from the residues of Eisenstein series on this group. If $r$ is odd, $nle r

متن کاملSymplectic spreads, planar functions and mutually unbiased bases
In this paper we give explicit descriptions of complete sets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and orthogonal decompositions of special Lie algebras sln(C) obtained from commutative and symplectic semifields, and from some other non-semifield symplectic spreads. Relations between various constructions are studied as well. We showed that automorphism groups of complete sets of MUBs and correspon...
متن کاملDiagonals of rational functions and selected differential Galois groups
We recall that diagonals of rational functions naturally occur in lattice statistical mechanics and enumerative combinatorics. In all the examples emerging from physics, the minimal linear differential operators annihilating these diagonals of rational functions have been shown to actually possess orthogonal or symplectic differential Galois groups. In order to understand the emergence of such ...
متن کاملLeast-Squares on the Real Symplectic Group
The present paper discusses the problem of least-squares over the real symplectic group of matrices Sp(2n,R). The least-squares problem may be extended from flat spaces to curved spaces by the notion of geodesic distance. The resulting non-linear minimization problem on manifold may be tackled by means of a gradient-descent algorithm tailored to the geometry of the space at hand. In turn, gradi...
