Abstract: (
Tex image )
Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over a field of characteristic $p > 0$
and denote by $U_q$ the corresponding quantum group at a complex $p$-th root of
unity $q$. Then tilting modules for $G$ can be "quantized" and give rise to
tilting modules for $U_q$. In this talk we shall discuss the problem of
decomposing these quantized tilting modules.
When the highest weight which parametrizes an indecomposable tilting module (for $G$ or for $U_q$) is in the lowest alcove then there is an explicit fusion rule which describes how many times this module occurs as summand in a given tilting module. Recent work by T. E. Rasmussen gives an algorithm for how to obtain corresponding information for weights in alcoves belonging to the second cell for the affine Weyl group associated with $G$. As an application one gets the dimensions of a class of simple modules for symmetric groups.
The same techniques can be used to compare tilting modules for $U_q$ to modules for the corresponding quantum group over a field $k$ of characteristic $l \neq p$. In this case one obtains among the applications equality of dimensions for certain simple modules for the Hecke algebras over $\mathbb{C}$ and $k$.

The representation type of Hecke algebras of type B
Abstract: (
Tex image ) (joint work with A. Mathas)
Hecke algebras of type $A$ and type $B$ are
important objects in order to study the representations of finite classical
groups of Lie type. Aiming at this application, Dipper and
James started the modular representation theory of these
Hecke algebras. Let ${\CH}_n$ be the Hecke algebra of type $B$
with two invertible parameters $q$ and $Q$ in a field $k$
such that its generators have quadratic relations
$(T_0-Q)(T_0+1)=0$ and $(T_i-q)(T_i+1)=0$ $( 1 \le i < n )$.
If $-Q$ is not a power of $q$, it has been proved in early '90s
by combination of results of Uno and Dipper-James that
${\CH}_n$ is of finite representation type if and only if
$n<2e$ where $q=\sqrt[e]{1}$. So, the remaining case is that
$q=\sqrt[e]{1}$ and $Q=q^f$. By renormalizing $T_0$, we may assume
that $0\le f\le e/2$. Assume that $e\ge 3$ for simplicity.
Then our result is that ${\CH}_n$ is of
finite representation type if and only if $ n < min (e,2f+4)$.
To prove that $n\ge min(e,2f+4)$ implies infinite representation type, we use a lemma saying that if an artinian algebra $A$ has an indecomposable projective module $P$ such that $End_A(P)$ is isomorphic to none of truncated polynomial rings $k[x]/(x^N)$, then it is of infinite representation type. To find such $P$, we need Dipper-James-Mathas' Specht module theory and my previous result on decomposition numbers, both proven for cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type $G(m,1,n)$.
To prove that $ n < min (e,2f+4)$ implies finite representation type, we use two array Maya diagrams to describe bipartitions. Then combinatorics of these Maya diagrams and James-Mathas' cyclotomic Jantzen-Schaper theorem prove the theorem.

Algebraic construction
of quasi-Verma modules in positive characteristic
Abstract: (
Tex image )
In the talk we investigate a new class of infinite-dimensional modules
over the hyperalgebra of a semi-simple algebraic group in positive
characteristic $p$ called quasi-Verma modules. We present a purely
algebraic construction of the global Grothendieck-Cousin complex
corresponding to the standard line bumdle ${\mathcal L}(\lambda)$ on
the Flag variety of the algebraic group stratified by the Schubert
cells. We prove that the complex consists of direct sums of
quasi-Verma modules for the highest weights of the form
$w\cdot\lambda$ for various elements $w$ of the Weyl group. Finally
we compare the obtained complex with the specialization of the
quasi-BGG complex over the corresponding Lusztig quantum group into
the base field of characteristic $p$.

Localization type Theorems for modular representations and
representations of quantum groups at a root of unity
Abstract: (
Tex image )
In a joint work with Mirkovic and Rumynin we show that a
variant of Beilinson-Bernstein-Brylinski-Kashiwara localization theorem
holds in (large) prime characteristic. There are indications that
representations of the Kac-DeConcini quantum enveloping algebra at a root
of unity admit a similar description; a close description
of representations of the small quantum group is the
subject of an ongoing joint work with Arkhipov and Ginzburg.
In the talk I will discuss these results and some applications (such as a description of the Grothendieck group of representations of a semi-simple Lie algebra in large prime characteristic with a fixed p-character in terms of coherent sheaves on the Springer fiber).

Families of characters of cyclotomic Hecke algebras
Abstract: (
Tex image )
Some recent work by Gyoja and Rouquier have shown that Lusztig
families of characters of Weyl groups may be viewed as blocks of the
corresponding Hecke algebra on a suitable localisation of the ring of
Laurent polynomials with one variable. This approach can be generalized
in order to define families of characters of finite complex reflection
groups - or, rather, of any cyclotomic Hecke algebra associated with
a complex reflection group. These families are compatible with Lusztig
families of unipotent characters of finite reductive groups as well as
with all generalized Harish-Chandra partitions.
A preprint, which is the orign of this talk, can be obtained from here .

On the Gelfand-Graev representations of finite reductive
groups: Zeta functions and functional equations
Abstract: (
Tex image )
Let $G$ be a finite reductive group, and let $\gamma$ be a
Gelfand-Graev representation of $G$. For each complex valued function
$\Phi$ on $G$ and each irreducible component $\pi$ of $\gamma$,
a zeta function $Z(\Phi,\pi)$ is defined, and proved to satisfy a
functional equation of the same form as the functional equation
for zeta functions of irreducible cuspidal representations of
$GL_{n}$ obtained by Springer and Macdonald (Math. Ann. 249, 1-15,
1980). Corresponding functional equations are obtained for the
irreducible representations $f_{\pi}$ of the endomorphism algebra
$H$ of $\gamma$. In case $\pi = \pm R_{T,\theta}$ the
$\varepsilon$-factor in the functional equation is the Gauss sum of
the representation $\pi$, as defined and computed by Kondo for the
case of $GL_{n}$, and by Saito and Shinoda for a general finite
reductive group. Applications to the representation theory of
$GL_{n}$ are obtained. The talk is based on joint work with K.

Representations of Lie algebras in prime characteristics I
Representations of Lie algebras in prime characteristics II
Representations of Lie algebras in prime characteristics III
Abstract: (
Tex image )
Fix an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$.
Consider a reductive algebraic group $G$ over $K$ and denote
by $\frak g$ the Lie algebra of $G$. This series of lectures will
be a survey on the representation theory of $\frak g$.
It is a particular feature of the theory in prime characteristics that all irreducible representations of $\frak g$ are finite dimensional. Therefore a classification of all irreducible representations of $\frak g$ appears to be feasible. In fact, such a classification does exist when $G$ is the general linear group. For arbitrary $G$, however, we have today (30 May 2001) still only partial information. And even in the case of GL$_n$ we do not know the dimensions of all irreducible representations.
Still, over the last six years considerable progress has been made in this area, beginning with Premet's proof of an old conjecture by Kac and Weisfeiler. In particular, there are in this area now some important conjectures by Lusztig that I want to discuss.

On the Beilinson-Bernstein correspondence of D-modules
on the flag variety in positive characteristic
Abstract: (
Tex image )
Let
$G$ be a simply connected simple algebraic group,
$B$ a Borel subgroup of $G$, $\cD^\lambda$
the sheaf of rings of the $\lambda$-twisted
differential operators on the flag variety $X=G/B$,
$\lambda$ a dominant weight, and $D^\lambda=\cD^\lambda(X)$.
In characteristic $0$ the Beilinson-Bernstein correspondence asserts that there is a natural surjection from the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of $G$ to $D^\lambda$ and that the flag variety $X$ is $D^\lambda$-affine.
In positive characterstic $\cD^\lambda$ admits, aside from the standard filtration, another filtration, called the $p$-filtration,constructed using the Frobenius morphisms on $X$, which Haastert described in terms of some induced representations from $B$ to the infinitesimal thickenings of $B$ and showed that any $\cD^\lambda$-module quasicoherent over $\cO_X$ is generated by the global sections even over $\cO_X$. We will make a progress report in positive characterstic.

Sato-Welter games and Weyl groups of Kac-Moody Lie algebras
Abstract: (
Tex image )
Around 1950, Mikio Sato, partly inspired by papers of Nakayama on modular
representations of symmetric groups, invented a 2-person game with a beautiful
theory, but his work was never published in European languages. Almost at the
same period, C.P. Welter independently created an equivalent theory, whose
clear
exposition is given in a famous book ("On Numbers and Games", Ch. 13, Academic
Press, 1976) of J.H. Conway. In this talk, we give a vast generalization
of the
theory of Sato and Welter. This means that we now have a large collection of
completely solvable 2-person games. The notion of miniscule elements of Weyl
groups due to D. Peterson, and their combinatorial classification due to
R.A. Proctor
are essential in our study.

Cell modules and standard modules for the affine Hecke
algebra of type A
Abstract: (
Tex image )
Let $\wh H_n^a(q)$ be the Affine Hecke algebra of $G = GL_n$.
Kazhdan-Lusztig and Ginzburg have defined "standard modules"
$M_{s,N}^{\phi}$ for affine Hecke algebras in general, where
$s \in G$ is semisimple, $N \in Lie(G)$ is nilpotent, $Ad(s)N = qN$
and $\phi$ is an irreducible representation of the group of the
components of the simultaneous centralizer of $s$ and $N$.
The standard modules generically (i.e. when $q$ is not a root of unity)
have top quotients which form a complete set of irreducible
representations of the algebra. When $q$ is a root of unity,
not much is known about the composition factors of $M_{s,N}^{\phi}$.
My work with J. Graham on the affine Temperley-Lieb algebra defines, for $\wh H_a^n(q)$, certain "cell modules", and gives complete information on their composition series, even when $q$ is a root of unity. This is done using the diagram context of the algebras, and using "cellular structure". In this talk, I will explain how to identify cell modules with standard modules (in the Grothendieck ring). The link is via braid diagrams and the Temperley-Lieb algebra of $B_n$ (sometimes called the "blob algbera" by physicists).

Tilting modules for cyclotomic Schur algebras
Abstract: (
Tex image )
The cyclotomic Schur algebras are endomorphism algebras of a direct
sum of ``permutation like'' modules for the Ariki-Koike algebras: they
include as special cases the q-Schur algebras of Dipper and James.
These algebras were introduced partly to provide a new tool for
studying the Ariki-Koike algebras and partly in the hope that they
might generalize the beautiful Dipper-James theory which shows that
the q-Schur algebras completely determine the modular representation
theory of the $GL_n(q)$ in non-defining characteristic.
As yet there are no known (non type A) connections between the representation theory of the cyclotomic Schur algebras and that of the finite groups of Lie type; nonetheless the representation theory of these algebras is both rich and beautiful. For example, they are quasi-hereditary algebras and Jantzen's sum formula generalizes to this setting. In this talk I will survey the representation theory of the cyclotomic Schur algebras culminating with a description of their tilting modules.

Connections on stable bundles
Abstract: (
Tex image )
Let $X$ be a Riemmann surface, i.e a genus $g$ surface with a complex
structure, and let $\Gamma$ be its fundamental group.
To each $n$-dimensional representation $\rho:\Gamma\rightarrow GL(n,{\bf C})$ corresponds a rank $n$ holomorphic bundle $E(\rho)$ on $X$. Its total space is $(\tilde X\times {\bf C}^{n})/\Gamma$, where $\tilde X$ is the universal cover of $X$, where $\Gamma$ acts diagonally on $\tilde X\times {\bf C}^{n}$ and where the action on the second component ${\bf C}^{n}$ is determined by $\rho$. Let $E$ be an holomorphic vector bundle on $X$. It is natural to ask: {\it Under which condition about $E$ is there a $\rho$ such that $E\simeq E(\rho)$?} Using the Riemann-Hilbert correspondance, this question is equivalent to: {\it Under which condition does $E$ admit an holomorphic connection?}.
Since any skew $(2,0)$ tensor on $X$ is zero, the curvature of any holomorphic connection vanishes. Therefore $c_{1}(E)=0$ whenever $E$ admits an holomorphic connection, where $c_{1}(E)$ is the first Chern class of $E$. The converse is almost true, as it has been proved by A. Weil: if $E$ is simple (i.e. any endomorphism is a scalar) and $c_{1}(E)=0$, then $E$ admits an holomorphic connection. However this holomorphic connection is not unique. In Weil's statement, the space of holomorphic connection is an affine space of dimension $1+(g-1)n^2$. The next question is: {\it Out of these connections, could we single out one nicer connection?}
This question has been answered by Narashiman and Seshadri {\bf [NS1][NS2]}. Their solution requires the notion of stability, which is now recalled. Indeed we will use the terminology "stable" instead of "stable of slope 0". An holomorphic vector bundle $E$ is called {\it stable} if $c_{1}(E)=0$, but $c_{1}(F)<0$ for any proper subbundle $F$. Here the meaning of the condition "$c_{1}(F)<0$" is explained by the natural identification $H^{2}(X)\simeq {\bf Z}$. Narashiman and Seshadri theorem states that a stable bundle $E$ admits a unique hermitian holomorphic connection, i.e. is isomorphic to $E(\rho)$ for a unique unitarisable representation $\rho$ (i.e. $\overline{\hbox{\rom{Im}}\,\rho}$ is a compact subgroup of $GL(n,{\bf C})$).
We will now use some new hypotheses. Let $K$ be a number field, let $X$ be a complete curve of genus $g$ and let $E$ be a stable vector bundle. The notion of stability is defined in this context, using the degree instead of the first Chern class. We can reformulate Narashiman and Seshadri theorem: for each $\sigma:K\rightarrow {\bf C}$, there is a unique hermitian connection on the bundle ${\bf C}\otimes E$ over $X\times_{K}{\bf C}$. Therefore to each infinite place of $K$ is attached a certain connection.
In {\bf [M]}, a similar statement for finite places of $K$ is proved. Also, a conjecture about the algebraicity of the solutions of certain differential equations is stated.

Twining character formula for Demazure modules
Abstract: (

We talk about two kinds of approaches to a twining
character formula for a Demazure module. Here a twining
character is the graded trace of a Dynkin diagram automorphism $\omega$
of a module graded by its weights.
One approach is an algebro-geometric one (with M. Kaneda): we use the $\omega$-equivariant Demazure-Hansen desingularization of a Schubert variety.
Another approach is a combinatorial one (with D. Sagaki): we use the path model of a Demazure module and the global crystal base of a quantum Demazure module.

Asymptotic Hecke algebra and central sheaves
Abstract: (
Tex image )
An asymptotic affine Hecke algebra $J$ was defined by G. Lusztig as a suitable
limit of an affine Hecke algebra as parameter $q$ tends to 0. The knowledge of
structure of $J$ gives a lot of information about the representation theory of
the affine Hecke algebra for all values of $q$. Lusztig also proposed a
Conjecture giving explicit and elementary description of algebra $J$ in terms
of convolution algebras. This Conjecture was verified in many special cases by
N. Xi. In this talk we explain geometric approach to Lusztig's Conjecture
originated by R. Bezrukavnikov and based on the remarkable functor of central
sheaves due to A. Beilinson, D. Gaitsgory and R. Kottwitz. This approach
allows to prove statement which is somewhat weaker than original Lusztig's
Conjecture but strong enough to reprove all previously known special cases, in
particular the case of type $\tilde A_n$.

Green functions associated to complex reflection groups
Abstract: (
Tex image )
Green dunctions of finite classical groups are determined
by the data from Weyl groups and by certain combinatorial objects
called symbols. Generalizing this, we define Green functions
associated to complex reflection groups $G(e,p,n)$, and study their
combinatorial properties.
In the case of $GL_n$, Green functions are obtained by modifying the Kostka polynomials, which are described as a transition matrix between two bases of symmetric functions, Hall-Littlewood functions and Schur functions. In our case, we define symbols associated to $G(e,p,n)$, and construct new type of symmetric functions, Schur functions and Hall-Littlewood functions parametrized by those symbols. As in the case of $GL_n$, it is shown that Green functions associated to $G(r,p,n)$ are obtained as a transition matrix between those two bases of symmetric functions. As a special case, our approach gives a combinatorial description of Green functions of type $B_n, C_n$ and $D_n$.
