F-method for symmetry breaking operators

Abstract

We provide some insights in the study of branching problems of reductive groups, and a method of investigations into symmetry breaking operators. First, we give geometric criteria for finiteness property of linearly independent continuous (respectively, differential) operators that intertwine two induced representations of reductive Lie groups and their reductive subgroups. Second, we extend the F-method known for local operators to non-local operators. We then illustrate the idea by concrete examples in conformal geometry, and explain how the F-method works for detailed analysis of symmetry breaking operators, e.g., finding functional equations and explicit residue formulae of regular symmetry breaking operators with meromorphic parameters.

On singular supports of Lusztig's perverse sheaves

We prove a conjecture of Lusztig on a microlocal characterization of his perverse sheaves. For any finite quiver without loops, an equivariant simple perverse sheaf on the variety of quiver representations is a Lusztig's perverse sheaf if and only if its singular support is contained in Lusztig's Lagrangian variety, that is, the variety of nilpotent representations of the preprojective algebra of the quiver.

Skein algebras and quantized Coulomb branches

To a compact oriented surface of genus at most one with boundary, we associate a quantized $K$-theoretic Coulomb branch in the sense of Braverman, Finkelberg, and Nakajima. In the case where the surface is a three- or four-holed sphere or a one-holed torus, we describe a relationship between this quantized Coulomb branch and the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the surface. We formulate a general conjecture relating these algebras.

Kernel of Scott modules and Brauer indecomposability

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be a finite group. We investigate the Brauer indecomposability of Scott $kG$-modules in relation to the kernel of modules. We generalize a criterion for Brauer indecomposability. We also prove that, in certain cases, Brauer indecomposability of a Scott $kG$-module can be lifted from that of a Scott module over a $p$-local subgroup.
