We establish a recursive relation for the bipartition number $p_2(n)$ which might be regarded as an analogue of Euler's recursive relation for the partition number $p(n)$. Two proofs of the main result are proved in this article. The first one is using the generating function, and the second one is using combinatoric objects (called ``symbols'') created by Lusztig for studying representation theory of finite classical groups.
The theory of almost characters which is closely related to character sheaves is proposed by Lusztig to study the representation theory of finite reductive groups. In this article we show that the decomposition of the Weil character for finite reductive dual pairs $(\Sp_{2n},\rmO^\pm_{2n'})$ or $(\Sp_{2n},\SO_{2n'+1})$ with respect to the almost characters is exactly the same as the decomposition with respect to the irreducible characters. As a consequence, the finite theta correspondence on almost characters is established.
It is known that irreducible cuspidal characters satisfy the preservation principle in the Howe correspondences of finite reductive dual pairs. In this article, we generalize the preservation principle to any irreducible characters of classical groups.
Let $(G,G')$ be a reductive dual pair of a symplectic group and an orthogonal group over a finite field of odd characteristic. The Howe correspondence establishes a correspondence between a subset of irreducible characters of $G$ and a subset of irreducible characters of $G'$. The Lusztig correspondence is a bijection between the Lusztig series indexed by the conjugacy class of a semisimple element $s$ in the connected component $(G^*)^0$ of the dual group of $G$ and the set of irreducible unipotent characters of the centralizer of $s$ in $G^*$. In this paper, we prove the commutativity (up to a twist of the sign character) between these two correspondences. As a consequence, the Howe correspondence can be explicitly described in terms of Lusztig's parametrization for classical groups.
The Lusztig correspondence is a bijective mapping between the Lusztig series indexed by the conjugacy class of a semisimple element $s$ in the connected component $(G^*)^0$ of the dual group of $G$ and the set of irreducible unipotent characters of the centralizer of $s$ in $G^*$. In this article we discuss the unicity and ambiguity of such a bijective correspondence. In particular, we show that the Lusztig correspondence for a classical group can be made to be unique if we require it to be compatible with the parabolic induction and the finite theta correspondence.
A sub-relation of the $Θ$-correspondence called the \emph{$η$-correspondence} is defined by Gurevich-Howe for a finite reductive dual pair in stable range. In this paper we propose an extension of the correspondence to general finite reductive dual pairs. Then we determine the domain the correspondence and prove a formula on the difference of degrees in $q$ of two irreducible characters paired by the correspondence.
In this paper, we interpret the theta rank of an irreducible character of a finite classical group in terms of the data from the Lusztig classification. Then we prove the following two results: (1) the agreement of the $U$-rank and the theta rank for any irreducible character of low Theta rank; (2) the agreement of the parabolic asymptotic rank and the theta rank for any irreducible character.
In this paper we obtain a decomposition formula of the uniform projection of the Weil character of a finite reductive dual pair consisting of a symplectic group and an even orthogonal group. This is the first and major step to give an explicit description of the Howe correspondence on unipotent characters confirming a conjecture by Aubert-Michel-Rouquier.
In this paper we give a complete description of the Howe correspondence of unipotent characters for a finite dual pair of a symplectic group and an even orthogonal group in terms of the Lusztig parametrization under a mild restriction of the characteristic of the base field. That is, the conjecture by Aubert-Michel-Rouquier is confirmed.
It is known that the $Θ$-correspondence for a finite reductive dual pair is not one-to-one in general. In this paper, we propose two maximal one-to-one sub-relations $\underlineθ,\overlineθ$ of the $Θ$-correspondences for a finite dual pair of two unitary groups. These two correspondences are extensions of the analogue of the $η$-correspondence proposed by Gurevich-Howe.
In this paper, we propose two maximal one-to-one sub-relations $\underlineθ, \overlineθ$ of the Howe correspondence $Θ$ for a finite reductive dual pair consisting of a symplectic group and an orthogonal group. Moreover, we show that both the correspondences $\underlineθ$ and $\overlineθ$ are extensions beyond the stable range of the $η$-correspondence defined by Gurevich-Howe.
