We introduce an explicit family of representations of the double affine Hecke algebra $\mathbb {H}$ acting on spaces of quasi-polynomials, defined in terms of truncated Demazure-Lusztig type operators. We show that these quasi-polynomial representations provide concrete realisations of a natural family of cyclic Y-parabolically induced $\mathbb {H}$-representations. We recover Cherednik’s well-known polynomial representation as a special case.

The quasi-polynomial representation gives rise to a family of commuting operators acting on spaces of quasi-polynomials. These generalize the Cherednik operators, which are fundamental in the study of Macdonald polynomials. We provide a detailed study of their joint eigenfunctions, which may be regarded as quasi-polynomial, multi-parametric generalisations of nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials. We also introduce generalizations of symmetric Macdonald polynomials, which are invariant under a multi-parametric generalization of the standard Weyl group action.

We connect our results to the representation theory of metaplectic covers of reductive groups over non-archimedean local fields. We introduce root system generalizations of the metaplectic polynomials from our previous work by taking a suitable restriction and reparametrization of the quasi-polynomial generalizations of Macdonald polynomials. We show that metaplectic Iwahori-Whittaker functions can be recovered by taking the Whittaker limit of these metaplectic polynomials.

Let F be a non-archimedean locally compact field of residual characteristic p, let $G=\operatorname {GL}_{r}(F)$ and let $\widetilde {G}$ be an n-fold metaplectic cover of G with $\operatorname {gcd}(n,p)=1$. We study the category $\operatorname {Rep}_{\mathfrak {s}}(\widetilde {G})$ of complex smooth representations of $\widetilde {G}$ having inertial equivalence class $\mathfrak {s}=(\widetilde {M},\mathcal {O})$, which is a block of the category $\operatorname {Rep}(\widetilde {G})$, following the ‘type theoretical’ strategy of Bushnell-Kutzko.

Precisely, first we construct a ‘maximal simple type’ $(\widetilde {J_{M}},\widetilde {\lambda }_{M})$ of $\widetilde {M}$ as an $\mathfrak {s}_{M}$-type, where $\mathfrak {s}_{M}=(\widetilde {M},\mathcal {O})$ is the related cuspidal inertial equivalence class of $\widetilde {M}$. Along the way, we prove the folklore conjecture that every cuspidal representation of $\widetilde {M}$ could be constructed explicitly by a compact induction. Secondly, we construct ‘simple types’ $(\widetilde {J},\widetilde {\lambda })$ of $\widetilde {G}$ and prove that each of them is an $\mathfrak {s}$-type of a certain block $\operatorname {Rep}_{\mathfrak {s}}(\widetilde {G})$. When $\widetilde {G}$ is either a Kazhdan-Patterson cover or Savin’s cover, the corresponding blocks turn out to be those containing discrete series representations of $\widetilde {G}$. Finally, for a simple type $(\widetilde {J},\widetilde {\lambda })$ of $\widetilde {G}$, we describe the related Hecke algebra $\mathcal {H}(\widetilde {G},\widetilde {\lambda })$, which turns out to be not far from an affine Hecke algebra of type A, and is exactly so if $\widetilde {G}$ is one of the two special covers mentioned above.

We leave the construction of a ‘semi-simple type’ related to a general block $\operatorname {Rep}_{\mathfrak {s}}(\widetilde {G})$ to a future phase of the work.

Arthur packets have been defined for pure real forms of symplectic and special orthogonal groups following two different approaches. The first approach, due to Arthur, Moeglin, and Renard uses harmonic analysis. The second approach, due to Adams, Barbasch, and Vogan uses microlocal geometry. We prove that the two approaches produce essentially equivalent Arthur packets. This extends previous work of the authors and J. Adams for the quasisplit real forms.

Let ${ F}/{ F}_0$ be a quadratic extension of non-Archimedean locally compact fields of residual characteristic $p\neq 2$ with Galois automorphism $\sigma $, and let R be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $\ell \notin \{0,p\}$. We reduce the classification of $\operatorname {GL}_n({ F}_0)$-distinguished cuspidal R-representations of $\operatorname {GL}_n({ F})$ to the level $0$ setting. Moreover, under a parity condition, we give necessary conditions for a $\sigma $-self-dual cuspidal R-representation to be distinguished. Finally, we classify the distinguished cuspidal ${\overline {\mathbb {F}}_{\ell }}$-representations of $\operatorname {GL}_n({ F})$ having a distinguished cuspidal lift to ${\overline {\mathbb {Q}}_\ell }$.

Let G be the Lie group ${\mathbb{R}}^2\rtimes {\mathbb{R}}^+$ endowed with the Riemannian symmetric space structure. Take a distinguished basis $X_0,\, X_1,\,X_2$ of left-invariant vector fields of the Lie algebra of G, and consider the Laplacian $\Delta=-\sum_{i=0}^2X_i^2$ and the first-order Riesz transforms $\mathcal R_i=X_i\Delta^{-1/2}$, $i=0,1,2$. We first show that the atomic Hardy space H1 in G introduced by the authors in a previous paper does not admit a characterization in terms of the Riesz transforms $\mathcal R_i$. It is also proved that two of these Riesz transforms are bounded from H1 to H1.

We extend a comparison theorem of Anandavardhanan–Borisagar between the quotient of the induction of a mod $p$ character by the image of an Iwahori–Hecke operator and compact induction of a weight to the case of the trivial character. This involves studying the corresponding non-commutative Iwahori–Hecke algebra. We use this to give an Iwahori theoretic reformulation of the (semi-simple) mod $p$ local Langlands correspondence discovered by Breuil and reformulated functorially by Colmez. This version of the correspondence is expected to have applications to computing the mod $p$ reductions of semi-stable Galois representations.

In this work, we develop an integral representation for the partial L-function of a pair $\pi \times \tau $ of genuine irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations, $\pi $ of the m-fold covering of Matsumoto of the symplectic group $\operatorname {\mathrm {Sp}}_{2n}$ and $\tau $ of a certain covering group of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_k$, with arbitrary m, n and k. Our construction is based on the recent extension by Cai, Friedberg, Ginzburg and the author, of the classical doubling method of Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis, from rank-$1$ twists to arbitrary rank twists. We prove a basic global identity for the integral and compute the local integrals with unramified data. Our global results are subject to certain conjectures, but when $k=1$ they are unconditional for all m. One possible future application of this work will be a Shimura-type lift of representations from covering groups to general linear groups. In a recent work, we used the present results in order to provide an analytic definition of local factors for representations of the m-fold covering of $\operatorname {\mathrm {Sp}}_{2n}$.

Let X be a smooth, projective and geometrically connected curve defined over a finite field ${\mathbb {F}}_q$ of characteristic p different from $2$ and $S\subseteq X$ a subset of closed points. Let $\overline {X}$ and $\overline {S}$ be their base changes to an algebraic closure of ${\mathbb {F}}_q$. We study the number of $\ell $-adic local systems $(\ell \neq p)$ in rank $2$ over $\overline {X}-\overline {S}$ with all possible prescribed tame local monodromies fixed by k-fold iterated action of Frobenius endomorphism for every $k\geq 1$. In all cases, we confirm conjectures of Deligne predicting that these numbers behave as if they were obtained from a Lefschetz fixed point formula. In fact, our counting results are expressed in terms of the numbers of some Higgs bundles.

Given a Polish group G, let $E(G)$ be the right coset equivalence relation $G^\omega /c(G)$, where $c(G)$ is the group of all convergent sequences in G. We first established two results:

1. (1) Let $G,H$ be two Polish groups. If H is TSI but G is not, then $E(G)\not \le _BE(H)$.

2. (2) Let G be a Polish group. Then the following are equivalent: (a) G is TSI non-archimedean; (b)$E(G)\leq _B E_0^\omega $; and (c) $E(G)\leq _B {\mathbb {R}}^\omega /c_0$. In particular, $E(G)\sim _B E_0^\omega $ iff G is TSI uncountable non-archimedean.

A critical theorem presented in this article is as follows: Let G be a TSI Polish group, and let H be a closed subgroup of the product of a sequence of TSI strongly NSS Polish groups. If $E(G)\le _BE(H)$, then there exists a continuous homomorphism $S:G_0\rightarrow H$ such that $\ker (S)$ is non-archimedean, where $G_0$ is the connected component of the identity of G. The converse holds if G is connected, $S(G)$ is closed in H, and the interval $[0,1]$ can be embedded into H.

As its applications, we prove several Rigid theorems for TSI Lie groups, locally compact Polish groups, separable Banach spaces, and separable Fréchet spaces, respectively.

In this paper, we define compact open subgroups of quasi-split even unitary groups for each even non-negative integer and establish the theory of local newforms for irreducible tempered generic representations with a certain condition on the central characters. To do this, we use the local Gan–Gross–Prasad conjecture, the local Rankin–Selberg integrals and the local theta correspondence.

We investigate and compare applications of the Zilber–Pink conjecture and dynamical methods to rigidity problems for arithmetic real and complex hyperbolic lattices. Along the way, we obtain new general results about reconstructing a variation of Hodge structure from its typical Hodge locus that may be of independent interest. Applications to Siu’s immersion problem are also discussed, the most general of which only requires the hypothesis that infinitely many closed geodesics map to proper totally geodesic subvarieties under the immersion.

In this paper, we study the twisted Ruelle zeta function associated with the geodesic flow of a compact, hyperbolic, odd-dimensional manifold X. The twisted Ruelle zeta function is associated with an acyclic representation $\chi \colon \pi _{1}(X) \rightarrow \operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_{n}(\mathbb {C})$, which is close enough to an acyclic, unitary representation. In this case, the twisted Ruelle zeta function is regular at zero and equals the square of the refined analytic torsion, as it is introduced by Braverman and Kappeler in [6], multiplied by an exponential, which involves the eta invariant of the even part of the odd-signature operator, associated with $\chi $.

In this article, we generalize results of Clozel and Ray (for $SL_2$ and $SL_n$, respectively) to give explicit ring-theoretic presentation in terms of a complete set of generators and relations of the Iwasawa algebra of the pro-p Iwahori subgroup of a simple, simply connected, split group $\mathbf {G}$ over ${{\mathbb Q}_p}$.

Let $(\tau , V_{\tau })$ be a finite dimensional representation of a maximal compact subgroup K of a connected non-compact semisimple Lie group G, and let $\Gamma $ be a uniform torsion-free lattice in G. We obtain an infinitesimal version of the celebrated Matsushima–Murakami formula, which relates the dimension of the space of automorphic forms associated to $\tau $ and multiplicities of irreducible $\tau ^\vee $-spherical spectra in $L^2(\Gamma \backslash G)$. This result gives a promising tool to study the joint spectra of all central operators on the homogenous bundle associated to the locally symmetric space and hence its infinitesimal $\tau $-isospectrality. Along with this, we prove that the almost equality of $\tau $-spherical spectra of two lattices assures the equality of their $\tau $-spherical spectra.

Without using the $p$-adic Langlands correspondence, we prove that for many finite-length smooth representations of $\mathrm {GL}_2(\mathbf {Q}_p)$ on $p$-torsion modules the $\mathrm {GL}_2(\mathbf {Q}_p)$-linear morphisms coincide with the morphisms that are linear for the normalizer of a parahoric subgroup. We identify this subgroup to be the Iwahori subgroup in the supersingular case, and $\mathrm {GL}_2(\mathbf {Z}_p)$ in the principal series case. As an application, we relate the action of parahoric subgroups to the action of the inertia group of $\mathrm {Gal}(\overline {\mathbf {Q}}_p/\mathbf {Q}_p)$, and we prove that if an irreducible Banach space representation $\Pi$ of $\mathrm {GL}_2(\mathbf {Q}_p)$ has infinite $\mathrm {GL}_2(\mathbf {Z}_p)$-length, then a twist of $\Pi$ has locally algebraic vectors. This answers a question of Dospinescu. We make the simplifying assumption that $p > 3$ and that all our representations are generic.

We define an involution on the elliptic space of tempered unipotent representations of inner twists of a split simple $p$-adic group $G$ and investigate its behaviour with respect to restrictions to reductive quotients of maximal compact open subgroups. In particular, we formulate a precise conjecture about the relation with a version of Lusztig's nonabelian Fourier transform on the space of unipotent representations of the (possibly disconnected) reductive quotients of maximal compact subgroups. We give evidence for the conjecture, including proofs for ${\mathsf {SL}}_n$ and ${\mathsf {PGL}}_n$.

Let G be a split connected reductive group defined over $\mathbb {Z}$. Let F and $F'$ be two non-Archimedean m-close local fields, where m is a positive integer. D. Kazhdan gave an isomorphism between the Hecke algebras $\mathrm {Kaz}_m^F :\mathcal {H}\big (G(F),K_F\big ) \rightarrow \mathcal {H}\big (G(F'),K_{F'}\big )$, where $K_F$ and $K_{F'}$ are the mth usual congruence subgroups of $G(F)$ and $G(F')$, respectively. On the other hand, if $\sigma $ is an automorphism of G of prime order l, then we have Brauer homomorphism $\mathrm {Br}:\mathcal {H}(G(F),U(F))\rightarrow \mathcal {H}(G^\sigma (F),U^\sigma (F))$, where $U(F)$ and $U^\sigma (F)$ are compact open subgroups of $G(F)$ and $G^\sigma (F),$ respectively. In this article, we study the compatibility between these two maps in the local base change setting. Further, an application of this compatibility is given in the context of linkage – which is the representation theoretic version of Brauer homomorphism.

In the present article, we study compact complex manifolds admitting a Hermitian metric which is strong Kähler with torsion (SKT) and Calabi–Yau with torsion (CYT) and whose Bismut torsion is parallel. We first obtain a characterization of the universal cover of such manifolds as a product of a Kähler Ricci-flat manifold with a Bismut flat one. Then, using a mapping torus construction, we provide non-Bismut flat examples. The existence of generalized Kähler structures is also investigated.

We settle the question of where exactly do the reduced Kronecker coefficients lie on the spectrum between the Littlewood-Richardson and Kronecker coefficients by showing that every Kronecker coefficient of the symmetric group is equal to a reduced Kronecker coefficient by an explicit construction. This implies the equivalence of an open problem by Stanley from 2000 and an open problem by Kirillov from 2004 about combinatorial interpretations of these two families of coefficients. Moreover, as a corollary, we deduce that deciding the positivity of reduced Kronecker coefficients is ${\textsf {NP}}$-hard, and computing them is ${{{\textsf {#P}}}}$-hard under parsimonious many-one reductions. Our proof also provides an explicit isomorphism of the corresponding highest weight vector spaces.

We compute the Jantzen filtration of a $\mathcal {D}$-module on the flag variety of $\operatorname {\mathrm {SL}}_2(\mathbb {C})$. At each step in the computation, we illustrate the $\mathfrak {sl}_2(\mathbb {C})$-module structure on global sections to give an algebraic picture of this geometric computation. We conclude by showing that the Jantzen filtration on the $\mathcal {D}$-module agrees with the algebraic Jantzen filtration on its global sections, demonstrating a famous theorem of Beilinson and Bernstein.
