چکیده
Deligne has defined a category which interpolates among the representations of the various symmetric groups. In this paper we show Deligne’s category admits a unique nontrivial family of modified trace functions. Such modified trace functions have already proven to be interesting in both low-dimensional topology and representation theory. We also introduce a graded variant of Deligne’s category, lift the modified trace functions to the graded setting, and use them to recover the well-known invariant of framed knots known as the writhe.

The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. The subject of representation theory in complex rank goes back to the papers [DM, De1]. Namely, these papers introduce Karoubian tensor categories Rep(GL t) ([DM, De1]), Rep(O t), Rep(Sp 2t), t ∈ C ([De1]), which are interpolations of the tensor categories of algebraic represen...

متن کاملSignatures of Stable Multiplicity Spaces in Restrictions of Representations of Symmetric Groups
Representation theory is a way of studying complex mathematical structures such as groups and algebras by mapping them to linear actions on vector spaces. Recently, Deligne proposed a new way to study the representation theory of finite groups by generalizing the collection of representations of a sequence of groups indexed by positive integer rank to an arbitrary complex rank, creating an abel...
متن کاملA construction of semisimple tensor categories
Let A be an abelian category such that every object has only finitely many subobjects. From A we construct a semisimple tensor category T . We show that T interpolates the categories Rep(Aut(p), K) where p runs through certain projective pro-objects of A. This extends a construction of Deligne for symmetric groups.
متن کاملA New Fourier Transform
In order to define a geometric Fourier transform, one usually works with either `-adic sheaves in characteristic p > 0 or with D-modules in characteristic 0. If one considers `-adic sheaves on the stack quotient of a vector bundle V by the homothety action of Gm, however, Laumon provides a uniform geometric construction of the Fourier transform in any characteristic. The category of sheaves on ...
