Some Weyl modules of the algebraic groups of type $E_6$

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of type $E_6$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We determine the submodule structure of the Weyl modul es with highest weight $rω_1$ for $0\leq r\leq p-1$, where $ω_1$ is the fundamental weight of the standard $27$-dimensional module. In the process, the structures of other Weyl modules with highest weights linked to $rω_1$ are also found. %We also give some computations for the Weyl modules with highest weights %of the form $r(ω_1+ω_6)$, which arise in the study of %the graph automorphism and associated twisted finite groups.

Smith Normal Forms of Incidence Matrices

A brief introduction is given to the topic of Smith normal forms of incidence matrices. A general discussion of techniques is illustrated by some classical examples. Some recent advances are described and the limits of our current understanding are indicated.

Oppositeness in buildings and simple modules for finite groups of Lie type

In the building of a finite group of Lie type we consider the incidence relations defined by oppositeness of flags. Such a relation gives rise to a homomorphism of permutation modules (in the defining characteristic) whose image is a simple module for the group. The $p$-rank of the incidence relation is then the dimension of this simple module. We give some general reductions towards the determination of the character of the simple module. Its highest weight is identified and the problem is reduced to the case of a prime field. The reduced problem can be approached through the representation theory of algebraic groups and the methods are illustrated for some examples.

The Divisor Matrix, Dirichlet Series and SL(2,Z), II

We examine an elliptic curve constructed in an earlier paper from a certain representation of $\SL(2,\Z)$ on the space of convergent Dirichlet series. The curve is observed to be a modular curve for $Γ^1(15)$ and a certain orbit of modular functions is thereby associated with the Riemann zeta function. Explicit descriptions are given of these functions and of the permutation action of $\SL(2,\Z)$ on them.

Dimensions of Some Binary Codes Arising From A Conic in $PG(2,q)$

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a conic in the classical projective plane $PG(2,q)$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. With respect to $\mathcal{O}$, the lines of $PG(2,q)$ are classified as passant, tangent, and secant lines, and the points of $PG(2,q)$ are classified as internal, absolute and external points. The incidence matrices between the secant/passant lines and the external/internal points were used in \cite{keith1} to produce several classes of structured low-density parity-check binary codes. In particular, the authors of \cite{keith1} gave conjectured dimension formula for the binary code $\mathcal{L}$ which arises as the $\Ff_2$-null space of the incidence matrix between the secant lines and the external points to $\mathcal{O}$. In this paper, we prove the conjecture on the dimension of $\mathcal{L}$ by using a combination of techniques from finite geometry and modular representation theory.

The Divisor Matrix, Dirichlet Series and SL(2,Z)

A representation of SL(2,Z) by integer matrices acting on the space of analytic ordinary Dirichlet series is constructed, in which the standard unipotent element acts as multiplication by the Riemann zeta function. It is then shown that the Dirichlet series in the orbit of the zeta function are related to it by algebraic equations.

Incidence Modules for Symplectic Spaces in Characteristic Two

We study the permutation action of a finite symplectic group of characteristic 2 on the set of subspaces of its standard module which are either totally isotropic or else complementary to totally isotropic subspaces with respect to the alternating form. A general formula is obtained for the 2-rank of the incidence matrix for the inclusion of one-dimensional subspaces in the distinguished subspaces of a fixed dimension.

On the dimensions of certain LDPC codes based on q-regular bipartite graphs

An explicit construction of a family of binary LDPC codes called LU(3,q), where q is a power of a prime, was recently given. A conjecture was made for the dimensions of these codes when q is odd. The conjecture is proved in this note. The proof involves the geometry of a 4-dimensional symplectic vector space and the action of the symplectic group and its subgroups.

The permutation action of finite symplectic groups of odd characteristic on their standard modules

Motivated by the incidence problems between points and flats of a symplectic polar space, we study a large class of submodules of the space of functions on the standard module of a finite symplectic group of odd characteristic. Our structure results on this class of submodules allow us to determine the $p$-ranks of the incidence matrices between points and flats of the symplectic polar space. In particular, we give an explicit formula for the $p$-rank of the generalized quadrangle ${\rm W}(3,q)$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. Combined with the earlier results of Sastry and Sin on the 2-rank of ${\rm W}(3,2^t)$, it completes the determination of the $p$-ranks of ${\rm W}(3,q)$.
