Abstract

We will relate the surprising Regge symmetry of the Racah-Wigner 6j symbols to the surprising Okamoto symmetry of the Painleve VI differential equation. This then presents the opportunity to give a conceptual derivation of the Regge symmetry, as the representation theoretic analogue of the author's previous derivation of the Okamoto symmetry. [The resulting derivation is quite simple, so it would be surprising if it has not been previously observed. Any references would be appreciated!]

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.
