Scholars from across the social and media sciences have issued a clarion call to address a recent resurgence in criminalized characterizations of immigrants. Do these characterizations meaningfully impact individuals’ beliefs about immigrants and immigration? Across two online convenience samples (N = 1,054 adult U.S. residents), we applied a novel analytic technique to test how different narratives—criminal, achievement, struggle-oriented—impact cognitive representations of German, Russian, Syrian, and Mexican immigrants and the concept of “immigrants” in general. All stories featured male targets. Achievement stories homogenized individual immigrant representations whereas both criminal and struggle-oriented stories racialized them along a white/non-white axis: Germany clustered with Russia, Syria with Mexico. However, criminal stories were unique in making our most egalitarian participants’ representations as differentiated as our least egalitarian participants’. Narratives about individual immigrants also generalized to update representations of nationality groups. Most important, narrative-induced representations correlated with immigration policy preferences: achievement narratives and corresponding homogenized representations promoted preferences for less restriction, criminal narratives for more.

AbstractGiven a Lie superalgebra $${\mathfrak {g}}$$ g with a subalgebra $${\mathfrak {g}}_{\ge 0}$$ g ≥ 0 , and a finite-dimensional irreducible $${\mathfrak {g}}_{\ge 0}$$ g ≥ 0 -module F, the induced $${\mathfrak {g}}$$ g -module $$M(F)={\mathcal {U}}({\mathfrak {g}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {U}}({\mathfrak {g}}_{\ge 0})}F$$ M ( F ) = U ( g ) ⊗ U ( g ≥ 0 ) F is called a finite Verma module. In the present paper we classify the non-irreducible finite Verma modules over the largest exceptional linearly compact Lie superalgebra $${\mathfrak {g}}=E(5,10)$$ g = E ( 5 , 10 ) with the subalgebra $${\mathfrak {g}}_{\ge 0}$$ g ≥ 0 of minimal codimension. This is done via classification of all singular vectors in the modules M(F). Besides known singular vectors of degree 1,2,3,4 and 5, we discover two new singular vectors, of degrees 7 and 11. We show that the corresponding morphisms of finite Verma modules of degree 1,4,7, and 11 can be arranged in an infinite number of bilateral infinite complexes, which may be viewed as “exceptional” de Rham complexes for E(5, 10).

AbstractLet {G_{n}} denote either the group {\mathrm{SO}(2n+1,F)} or {\mathrm{Sp}(2n,F)} over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic different than two. We study parabolically induced representations of the form {\langle\Delta\rangle\rtimes\sigma}, where {\langle\Delta\rangle} denotes the Zelevinsky segment representation of the general linear group attached to the segment Δ, and σ denotes a discrete series representation of {G_{n}}. We determine the composition series of {\langle\Delta\rangle\rtimes\sigma} in the case when {\Delta=[\nu^{a}\rho,\nu^{b}\rho]} where a is half-integral.

We study the structure of the generalized 2-dim affine-Virasoro algebra, and describe its automorphism group. Furthermore, we also determine the irreducibility of a Verma module over the generalized 2-dim affine-Virasoro algebra.

Let M be a Verma module over the Lie algebra, sl 2(k), of trace zero 2 × 2 matrices over the algebraically closed field k. We show that the ring, RM, of definable scalars of M is a von Neumann regular ring and that the canonical map from U( sl 2(k)) to RM is an epimorphism of rings. We also describe the Ziegler closure of M. The proofs make use of ideas from the model theory of modules.
