2022/05/27 15:00-16:30 陈哲 Higher Deligne-Lusztig theory I (I) In the first talk I would like to give an introduction to Deligne–Lusztig theory of reductive groups over finite fields, with a focus on the case of SL_2(F_q). Time permitting, I will also discuss some basics of the generalisation for reductive groups over discrete valuation rings (called higher Deligne–Lusztig theory). XMU
2022/06/03 15:00-16:30 陈哲 Higher Deligne-Lusztig theory II (II) In the second talk, I would like to discuss the algebraisation problem of higher Deligne–Lusztig representations raised by Lusztig, which seeks algebraic realisations (via, say, Clifford theory) of these geometrically constructed representations. I will discuss our resolution of this problem at even levels in a joint work with Stasinski in 2017, as well as our recent progress towards the odd level case. XMU
2022/06/10 15:00-16:30 陈哲 Higher Deligne-Lusztig theory III (III) In the third talk, I plan to discuss a curious restriction-to-torus formula of Deligne–Lusztig characters, which is motivated by a phenomenon appeared in the algebraisation problem and by a work of Reeder. XMU
2022/06/17 15:00-16:30 聂思安 Lusztig’s map from conjugacy classes of the Weyl group to the unipotent classes For a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field, Lusztig constructed a miraculous map from the conjugacy classes of the Weyl group to the unipotent conjugacy classes. We will discuss various interesting properties and applications of the map. Part of the talk is based on joint work with Jeffrey Adams and Xuhua He. XMU
2022/06/24 15:00-16:30 聂思安 Counting points on Newton strata and a multiplicity-one phenomenon Affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties play an important role in the theory of Shimura varieties. Their geometries are controlled by the Newton strata in Iwahori double cosets. In this talk, I will report a multiplicity-one phenomenon on the Newton strata of a large class of Iwahori double cosets, namely, these strata form a stratification and each of them is nonempty and irreducible. We prove it by counting rational points on the Newton strata. As a consequence, we show the corresponding affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties are explicit unions of classical Deligne-Lusztig varieties of Coxeter type. This is based on joint work in progress with X. He and Q. Yu. XMU

2020 Fall Seminar on real reductive groups

This semester, 2020 Fall, we will focus on the representation theory of real reductive Lie groups.
Throughout these seminar talks, we hope to clarify the current status of the subject and stimulate collaborations. We expect the speakers to explain the technical details. The audiences are encouraged to interrupt the speaker and raise questions/make comments. Most lectures will be given in Chinese.

These techniques are essential in determining the unitary spectrum of G. We will also briefly mention where the difficulties arise as one applies the same techniques for general real reductive groups. SJTU

This can be achieved by a careful study of Loke-Ma and Gomez-Zhu’s work. SJTU

This is the first talk of my proposed seminar on Weyl group, Springer theory, Hecke algebra and related topics. As an orientation, I will first explain the content of Springer correspondence. Then I will briefly review the basic idea of the constructions of the Springer correspondence. In the end, I will discuss some relationships of the Springer theory with other fields, such as combinatorics and representation theory of reductive groups. If time permits, I will also discuss the generalized Springer correspondence.
