Partial flag manifolds over a semifield

For any semifield K we define a K-form of a partial flag manifold of a semisimple group G of simply laced type over the complex numbers. The definition is in terms of the theory of canonical bases.

On induction of class functions

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over a finite field F_q and let L be the Levi subgroup (defined over F_q) of a parabolic subgroup P of G. We define a linear map from class functions on L(F_q) to class functions on G(F_q). This map is independent of the choice of P. We show that for large q this map coincides with the known cohomological induction (whose definition involves a choice of P).

Fourier transform as a triangular matrix

Let V be a finite dimensional vector space over the field with two elements with a given nondegenerate symplectic form. Let [V] be the vector space of complex valued functions on V and let [V]_Z be the subgroup of [V] consisting of integer valued functions. We show that there exists a Z-basis of [V]_Z consisting of characteristic functions of certain explicit isotropic subspaces of V such that the matrix of the Fourier transform from [V] to [V] with respect to this basis is triangular. We show that this is a special case of a result which holds for any two-sided cell in a Weyl group.

The flag manifold over the semifield Z

Let G be a semisimple simply connected group of simply laced type over C. We show that the flag manifold of G has a version defined over the "tropical" semifield Z on which the monoid G(Z) associated to G and the semifield Z acts.

Total positivity in Springer fibres

Let u be a unipotent element in the totally positive part of a complex reductive group. We consider the intersection of the Springer fibre at u with the totally positive part of the flag manifold. We show that this intersection has a natural cell decomposition which is part of the cell decomposition (Rietsch) of the totally positive flag manifold.

A new basis for the representation ring of a Weyl group, II

In a previous paper I have defined a new basis for the representation ring of a Weyl group. In this paper we show that the new basis is related to the standard basis by an upper triangular unipotent matrix. We also give a new parametrization of representations in a fixed family by certain pairs of subgroups of a finite group attached to the family. We outline an extension to the case of unipotent representations of a finite Chevalley group.

A new basis for the representation ring of a Weyl group

Let W be a Weyl group. We define a new basis for the Grothendieck group of representations of W. This basis contains on the one hand the special representations of W and on the other hand the representations carried by the left cells of W. We show that the representations in the new basis have a certain bipositivity property.

Remarks on affine Springer fibres

Let h be a regular semisimple element in a complex simple Lie algebra g. Let t be an indeterminate. We consider the "variety" of Iwahori subalgebras of g tensored with power series in t which contain t times h. This variety admits a free action of a free abelian group of rank equal to the rank of g. We describe a fundamental domain for this action.

Hecke modules based on involutions in extended Weyl groups

Let X be the group of weights of a maximal torus of a simply connected semisimple group over C and let W be the Weyl group. The semidirect product W(Q\otimes X/X) is called the extended Weyl group. There is a natural C(v)-algebra H called the extended Hecke algebra with basis indexed by the extended Weyl group which contains the usual Hecke algebra as a subalgebra. We construct an H-module with basis indexed by the involutions in the extended Weyl group. This generalizes a construction of the author and D.Vogan.

Lifting involutions in a Weyl group to the torus normalizer

Let N be the normalizer of a maximal torus T in a split reductive group over F_q and let w be an involution in the Weyl group N/T. We construct explicitly a lifting n of w in N such that the image of n under the Frobenius map is equal to the inverse of n.

Non-unipotent representations and categorical centres

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over a finite field F_q. We give a parametrization of the irreducible representations of G(F_q) in terms of (twisted) categorical centres of various monoidal categories associated to G. (Results of this type were known earlier for unipotent representations. Analogous results for the parametrization of character sheaves on G were also known earlier.)

Non-unipotent character sheaves as a categorical centre

Let G be a reductive connected group over the algebraic closure of a finite field. In this paper we give the classification of character sheaves on G in categorical terms (as a categorical centre). Previously such a classification was known for unipotent character sheaves and also in the case where the ground field is replaced by the complex numbers.
