Abstract

The Pappas--Rapoport coherence conjecture, proved by Zhu, states that the dimensions of spaces of sections of certain line bundles coincide. The two sides of the equality correspond to line bundles on spherical Schubert varieties in affine Grassmannians and to line bundles on unions of Schubert varieties in affine flag varieties. Algebraically, the claim can be reformulated as an equality between the dimensions of certain Demazure modules and certain sums of Demazure modules. The goal of this paper is to formulate an algebraic construction that provides an explicit link between the aforementioned Demazure modules. Our construction works only in type A, but it applies to a much wider class of representations than those arising in the geometric coherence conjecture. In the general case, one side of the conjectural equality involves affine Kostant--Kumar modules.

A Course on Lie algebras and Chevalley groups

These are expanded notes from graduate courses about Lie algebras and Chevalley groups held at the University of Stuttgart. In the 1950s Chevalley showed how linear groups over arbitrary fields could be obtained~ -- ~by a uniform procedure~ -- ~from the simple Lie algebras over $\C$ occurring in the Cartan--Killing classification. Together with subsequent variations, Chevalley's work had a profound and long-lasting impact on group theory and Lie theory in general. Classical, and widely used references are the lectures notes by Steinberg (1967) and the monograph by Carter (1972). Our aim here is to present a self-contained introduction to the theory of Chevalley groups, based on recent simplifications arising from Lusztig's fundamental theory of ``canonical bases''. A further feature of our text is that we explicitly incorporate algorithmic methods in our treatment, both for the handling of substantial examples and regarding some aspects of the general theory. Eventually, this may turn into a book project.

On the p-part of the conductor of a generalised character

We show that the $p$-part of the conductor of a generalised character of a finite group is equal to the conductor of its generalised decomposition numbers. We use this to show that $p$-parts of conductors of irreducible characters are preserved under isotypies and perfect isometries that arise in the context of stable equivalences of Morita type with endopermutation source. We apply this to blocks with abelian defect and Frobenius inertial quotient.

On the triviality of inhomogeneous deformations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$

We specify a symmetrized mixed-oscillator deformation family of $B(0,n)=\operatorname{osp}(1|2n)$, with even mixed coefficients and one odd square-zero parameter. For every $n\geq1$, we derive its bracket from a faithful oscillator realization and exhibit an odd cochain whose coboundary is the recovered deformation coefficient. The resulting even change of generators is an exact isomorphism over the exterior parameter algebra. For $n=1$, the cochain agrees with the normalization of Bakalov-Sullivan. We give the source relations and the even-central specialization explicitly, together with a Lean 4 formalization.
