Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

A Hecke action on the principal block of a semisimple algebraic group
9:00am|Virtual

I will explain the construction of an action of the Hecke category on the principal block of representations of a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, obtained in joint work with Roman...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Rationality properties of complex characters of finite groups
5:00pm|Virtual

What can one say about the fields of values of irreducible complex characters $\chi$ of a given finite group $G$? In particular when $G$ is a finite (quasi)simple group? What about the ``McKay situation'', i.e. when the degree of $\chi$ is coprime...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

New isolated symplectic singularities with trivial fundamental group
3:30pm|Virtual

Abstract: In 2000, Arnaud Beauville introduced the notion of symplectic singularities and raised the question of classifying isolated symplectic singularities with trivial local fundamental group: the latter condition is meant to avoid the numerous...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Webs in type C
2:00pm|Virtual

In 1997, Kuperberg gave a generators-and-relations presentation of the monoidal category Fund, whose objects are tensor products of fundamental representations, for all rank 2 lie algebras. The general case has been an open problem since. It was...

Stability and Testability

Ultrametric stability problems
Francesco Fournier-Facio
11:00am|Remote Access

We study stability problems with respect to families of groups equipped with bi-invariant ultrametrics, that is, metrics satisfying the strong triangle inequality. This property has very strong consequences, and this form of stability behaves very...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Springer, Procesi and Cherednik
12:00pm|Virtual

The talk is based on a joint work with Pablo Boixeda Alvarez. We study equivariant Borel-Moore homology of certain affine Springer fibers and relate them to global sections of suitable vector bundles arising from Procesi bundles on Q-factorial...
