The extended Burnside ring and module categories

Abstract

In this note an `extended Burnside ring' is defined, generated by classes of semisimple module categories over Rep(G) with quasifibre functors. Here G is a finite group and representations are taken over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. It is shown that this is equivalent to a ring generated by centrally extended G-sets and hence the name. Ring homomorphisms into the multiplicative group of the field are computed with an explicit formula and tables of these homomorphisms are given for the groups S_4 and S_5 which are of particular interest in the context of reductive algebraic groups. ----- L'anneau de Burnside étendu et catégories de modules. Dans cette note un `Anneau de Burnside étendu' est défini, generé par des classes de catégories de modules semisimples sur Rep(G) avec des foncteurs quasifibres. Ici G est un groupe fini, et des représentations sont prises sur un corps algébriquement clos de caractéristique nulle. Il est demontré que ceci équivaut à un anneau generé par des G-ensembles centralement étendus, d'où le nom. Des homomorphismes d'anneau dans le groupe multiplicatif du corps sont computées avec une formule explicite et des tableaux de ces homomorphismes sont fournis pour les groupes S_4 et S_5 qui sont d'un intérêt particulier dans le contexte de groupes algébriques réductifs.

Quasi-Whittaker supermodules over Lie superalgebras

In this paper, we develop a general theory of quasi-Whittaker supermodules over Lie superalgebras induced from an arbitrary ideal. We determine the quasi-Whittaker vectors in universal supermodules, establish an irreducibility criterion, and classify several families of irreducible supermodules. The odd part produces a new irreducibility phenomenon absent from the Lie algebra setting. As applications, we determine all irreducible quasi-Whittaker supermodules over the $N=1$ super Schr\"odinger algebra and the $N=1$ $\frac{3}{2}$-conformal Galilei superalgebra, and over the complete spectrum-generating superalgebra in a special case.

Rankin--Selberg integrals of opposite conductor--one newforms

Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero and let $n\geq2$. For $r=n,n+1$, let $\Pi_r$ be an irreducible tempered representation of ${\rm GL}_r(F)$ of conductor one and with trivial central character. We evaluate the Rankin--Selberg integral of opposite newforms in $\Pi_{n+1}\times \Pi_n$ explicitly and show that its central value is nonzero. As an application, this implies a case of Disegni--Zhang's conjecture on the nonvanishing of local relative characters.

Obstructions to Jacobi-Finiteness of Quivers with Potentials

We show that Jacobi-finite potentials need not exist on finite $2$-acyclic quivers. Our main tool is a matrix-valued Golod--Shafarevich--Vinberg inequality for quotients of completed path algebras by finitely many, possibly nonhomogeneous, topological relations. Applied to cyclic derivatives, it yields a potential-dependent obstruction to the finite-dimensionality of completed Jacobian algebras. We then construct a purely quiver-level criterion excluding every Jacobi-finite potential on a given quiver, and exhibit a family of quivers for which every potential has an infinite-dimensional Jacobian algebra.
