Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Stokes phenomena, Poisson-Lie groups and quantum groups
12:00pm|Virtual

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group, $G^*$ its dual Poisson-Lie group, and $g$ the Lie algebra of $G$. $G$-valued Stokes phenomena were exploited by P. Boalch to linearise the Poisson structure on $G^*$. I will explain how $Ug$-valued Stokes...

Approximating tilting modules
10:30am|Virtual

Using the arithmetics of quantum numbers we construct some “approximations” of tilting modules for reductive algebraic groups that might be useful for understanding the generational patterns of tilting characters conjectured by Lusztig and...

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...

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...
