Abstract

The notion of a supercharacter theory was proposed by P. Diaconis and I.M. Isaacs in 2008. A supercharacter theory for a given finite group is a pair of the system of certain complex characters and the partition of group into classes that have properties similar to the system of irreducible characters and the partition into conjugacy classes. In the present paper, we consider the group obtained by the Borel contraction from the general linear group over a finite field. For this group, we construct the supercharacter theory. In terms of rook placements, we classify supercharacters and superclasses, calculate values of supercharacters on superclasses

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.
