Remarks on Springer’s Representations
نویسنده
چکیده
We give an explicit description of a set of irreducible representations of a Weyl group which parametrizes the nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebra of a connected reductive group in arbitrary characteristic. We also answer a question of Serre concerning the conjugacy class of a power of a unipotent element in a connected reductive group.

The Steinberg Variety and Representations of Reductive Groups
We give an overview of some of the main results in geometric representation theory that have been proved by means of the Steinberg variety. Steinberg’s insight was to use such a variety of triples in order to prove a conjectured formula by Grothendieck. The Steinberg variety was later used to give an alternative approach to Springer’s representations and played a central role in the proof of th...
متن کاملSpringer’s Regular Elements over Arbitrary Fields
Springer’s theory of regular elements in complex reflection groups is generalized to arbitrary fields. Consequences for the cyclic sieving phenomenon in combinatorics are discussed.
متن کاملElliptic Centralizers in Weyl Groups and Their Coinvariant Representations
The centralizer C(w) of an elliptic element w in a Weyl group has a natural symplectic representation on the group of w-coinvariants in the root lattice. We give the basic properties of this representation, along with applications to p-adic groups—classifying maximal tori and computing inducing data in L-packets—as well as to elucidating the structure of the centralizer C(w) itself. We give the...
متن کاملGeneralized Exponents and Forms
We consider generalized exponents of a finite reflection group acting on a real or complex vector space V . These integers are the degrees in which an irreducible representation of the group occurs in the coinvariant algebra. A basis for each isotypic component arises in a natural way from a basis of invariant generalized forms. We investigate twisted reflection representations (V tensor a line...
متن کاملSome Remarks on Representations of Jet Groups and Gauge Groups
We study irreducible unitary representations of the three rst jet (or Leibniz) extensions G k m of a compact group G, focusing on the neighborhood of the trivial representation. We also describe some associated irreducible unitary (continuous tensor product) representations of the gauge (or current) groups of mappings from a Riemannian manifold into G k m .
