Kronecker positivity and 2-modular representation theory

This paper consists of two prongs. Firstly, we prove that any Specht module labelled by a 2-separated partition is semisimple and we completely determine its decomposition as a direct sum of graded simple modules. Secondly, we apply these results and other modular representation theoretic techniques on the study of Kronecker coefficients and hence verify Saxl’s conjecture for several large new families of partitions. In particular, we verify Saxl’s conjecture for all irreducible characters of S n \mathfrak {S}_n which are of 2-height zero.

Comparison of numbers and analysis of overflow in modular arithmetic

The method of modular arithmetic consists in operating not with a number, but with its remainders after division by some integers. In the modular number system or the number system in the residual classes, a multi-bit integer in the positional number system is represented as a sequence of several positional numbers. These numbers are the remainders (residues) of dividing the original number into some modules that are mutually prime integers. The advantage of the modular representation is that it is very simple to perform addition, subtraction and multiplication operations. In parallel execution of operations, the use of modular arithmetic can significantly reduce the computation time. However, there are drawbacks to modular representation that limit its use. These include a slow conversion of numbers from modular to positional representation; the complexity of comparing numbers in modular representation; the difficulty in performing the division operation; and the difficulty of determining the presence of an overflow. The use of modular arithmetic is justified if there are fast algorithms for calculating a number from a set of remainders. This article describes a fast algorithm for converting numbers from modular representation to positional representation based on a geometric approach. The review is carried out for the case of a comparison system with two modules. It is also shown that as a result of increasing numbers in positional calculus, they successively change in a spiral on the surface of a two-dimensional torus. Based on this approach, a fast algorithm for comparing numbers and an algorithm for detecting an overflow during addition and multiplication of numbers in modular representation were developed. Consideration for the multidimensional case is possible when analyzing a multidimensional torus and studying the behavior of the turns on its surface.

The ℓ-modular representation of reductive groups over finite local rings of length two

Let O 2 \mathcal{O}_{2} and O 2 ′ \mathcal{O}^{\prime}_{2} be two distinct finite local rings of length two with residue field of characteristic 𝑝. Let G ⁢ ( O 2 ) \mathbb{G}(\mathcal{O}_{2}) and G ⁢ ( O 2 ′ ) \mathbb{G}(\mathcal{O}^{\prime}_{2}) be the groups of points of any reductive group scheme 𝔾 over ℤ such that 𝑝 is very good for G × F q \mathbb{G}\times\mathbb{F}_{q} or G = GL n \mathbb{G}=\operatorname{GL}_{n} . We prove that there exists an isomorphism of group algebras K ⁢ G ⁢ ( O 2 ) ≅ K ⁢ G ⁢ ( O 2 ′ ) K\mathbb{G}(\mathcal{O}_{2})\cong K\mathbb{G}(\mathcal{O}^{\prime}_{2}) , where 𝐾 is a sufficiently large field of characteristic different from 𝑝.

LECTURES ON THE GEOMETRY AND MODULAR REPRESENTATION THEORY OF ALGEBRAIC GROUPS

These notes provide a concise introduction to the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups in positive characteristic, with an emphasis on Lusztig's character formula and geometric representation theory. They are based on the first author's notes from a lecture series delivered by the second author at the Simons Centre for Geometry and Physics in August 2019. We intend them to complement more detailed treatments.

CHARACTERIZING THE MOD- LOCAL LANGLANDS CORRESPONDENCE BY NILPOTENT GAMMA FACTORS

Let $F$ be a $p$ -adic field and choose $k$ an algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_{\ell }$ , with $\ell$ different from $p$ . We define “nilpotent lifts” of irreducible generic $k$ -representations of $GL_{n}(F)$ , which take coefficients in Artin local $k$ -algebras. We show that an irreducible generic $\ell$ -modular representation $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$ of $GL_{n}(F)$ is uniquely determined by its collection of Rankin–Selberg gamma factors $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}\times \widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}},X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D713})$ as $\widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}$ varies over nilpotent lifts of irreducible generic $k$ -representations $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}$ of $GL_{t}(F)$ for $t=1,\ldots ,\lfloor \frac{n}{2}\rfloor$ . This gives a characterization of the mod- $\ell$ local Langlands correspondence in terms of gamma factors, assuming it can be extended to a surjective local Langlands correspondence on nilpotent lifts.

SERRE WEIGHTS AND BREUIL’S LATTICE CONJECTURE IN DIMENSION THREE

We prove in generic situations that the lattice in a tame type induced by the completed cohomology of a $U(3)$ -arithmetic manifold is purely local, that is, only depends on the Galois representation at places above $p$ . This is a generalization to $\text{GL}_{3}$ of the lattice conjecture of Breuil. In the process, we also prove the geometric Breuil–Mézard conjecture for (tamely) potentially crystalline deformation rings with Hodge–Tate weights $(2,1,0)$ as well as the Serre weight conjectures of Herzig [‘The weight in a Serre-type conjecture for tame $n$ -dimensional Galois representations’, Duke Math. J. 149(1) (2009), 37–116] over an unramified field extending the results of Le et al. [‘Potentially crystalline deformation 3985 rings and Serre weight conjectures: shapes and shadows’, Invent. Math. 212(1) (2018), 1–107]. We also prove results in modular representation theory about lattices in Deligne–Lusztig representations for the group $\text{GL}_{3}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ .
