For a finite group $G$ one has a process of modular reduction which takes a $KG$-module, over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, and produces a $kG$-module, over a field $k$ of positive characteristic. Starting with a simple $KG$-module its modular...

Reverse plane partitions - or RPPs for short - are order reversing maps of minuscule posets in types ADE. We report on joint work in progress with Elek, Kamnitzer, Libman, and Morton-Ferguson in which we give a type independent proof that RPPs form...

Abstract: in joint work with Leonardo Patimo, we investigate the compatibility of
p-cells with respect to standard parabolic subgroups. Given a p-cell in
a standard parabolic subgroup of a crystallographic Coxeter system,
one can induce the...

Let $G$ be a semi-simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic and let $B$ be a Borel subgroup. The cohomology of line bundles on the flag variety $G/B$ induced by characters of $B$ are important objects...

I will review certain stabilization phenomena in the characteristic zero representation theory of general linear and symmetric groups as the rank tends to infinity. Then I will give a survey of some results and conjectures about analogs of these in...

Algebraic topologists talk about an elevator from characteristic zero to characteristic p, with infinitely many floors in between called chromatic levels. I think you could "do representation theory" at any of these levels. I once tried to explore...

Categorification of integrable representations of quantum Kac--Moody algebras is a relatively well-developed subject nowadays, which has found several applications, in particular to low-dimensional topology. The story outside of the integrable world...
