Somemixed character sum identities of Katz II
نویسندگان
چکیده
A conjecture connected with quantum physics led N. Katz to discover some amazing mixed character sum identities over a field of q elements, where q is a power of a prime p > 3. His proof required deep algebro-geometric techniques, and he expressed interest in finding a more straightforward direct proof. The first author recently gave such a proof of his identities when q ≡ 1 (mod 4), and this paper provides such a proof for the remaining case q ≡ 3 (mod 4). Our proofs are valid for all characteristics p > 2. Along the way we prove some elegant new character sum identities.

From Clausen to Carlitz: Low-dimensional Spin Groups and Identities among Character Sums
We relate the classical formulas of Clausen and Schläfli for the squares of hypergeometric and Bessel functions respectively, and a 1969 formula of Carlitz for the square of a very particular Kloosterman sum, to the “accident” that for 3 6 n 6 6, the “spin” double cover of SO(n) is itself a classical group. We exploit this accident to obtain identities among character sums over finite fields, s...

Based on our recently published article Fermionic Expressions for the Characters of cp,1 Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories in the journal Nuclear Physics B, fermionic sum representations for the characters of the W(2, 2p−1, 2p−1, 2p−1) series of triplet algebras are obtained, providing further evidence that these logarithmic theories constitute well-defined rational conformal field theories....

whereW is the Weyl group, ρ is the Weyl vector, and the product is over all positive roots α. This is a special case of Weyl’s character formula which says that the character of a finite dimensional representation is equal to a sum similar to the left hand side divided by the product on the right hand side; for the 1-dimensional representation the character is 1 so the sum is equal to the produ...
متن کاملthe unitary minimal series M(ν, ν + 1). Exact results.
The Hilbert space of an RSOS-model, introduced by Andrews, Baxter, and Forrester, can be viewed as a space of sequences (paths) {a0, a1, . . . , aL}, with aj-integers restricted by 1 ≤ aj ≤ ν, | aj − aj+1 |= 1, a0 ≡ s, aL ≡ r. In this paper we introduce different basis which, as shown here, has the same dimension as that of an RSOS-model. This basis appears naturally in the Bethe ansatz calcula...

The processes of cultural transformation in Britain in the second half of the 20th century, the fall of the Empire, immigration from former colonies and the expansion of the multiculturalism, have influenced new ways of looking at the conceptions of identity of diasporic subjects within Britain. Examining these experiences, diasporic novelists write about the second generation immigrants in con...
