Euclidean lattices are mathematical objects of increasing interest in the fields of cryptography and error-correcting codes. This doctoral thesis is a study on high-dimensional lattices with the motivation to understand how efficient they are in terms of b ...
This paper considers the problem of second-degree price discrimination when the type distribution is unknown or imperfectly specified by means of an ambiguity set. As robustness measure we use a performance index, equivalent to relative regret, which quant ...
Prediction of ground motion triggered by earthquakes is a prime concern for both the seismology community and geotechnical earthquake engineering one. The subfield occupied with such a problem is termed site response analysis (SRA), its one-dimensional fla ...
These notes cover the lectures of the first named author at 2021 IHES Summer School on "Enumerative Geometry, Physics and Representation Theory" with additional details and references. They cover the definition of Khovanov-Rozansky triply graded homology, ...
Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p >= h, the Coxeter number of G. We observe an easy 'recursion formula' for computing the Jantzen sum formula of a Weyl module with p-regular highest weight. We also d ...

Let G be either a simple linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic l>0 or a quantum group at an l-th root of unity. The category Rep(G) of finite-dimensional G-modules is non-semisimple. In this thesis, we develop new tech ...
In drug discovery, the proportion of aliphatic carbons (C(sp(3))) and the presence of chiral carbons in organic molecules are positively correlated to their chance of clinical success. Although methods exist for the synthesis of chiral C(sp(3))-rich molecu ...
We study the spectra of non-regular semisimple elements in irreducible representations of simple algebraic groups. More precisely, we prove that if G is a simply connected simple linear algebraic group and φ : G → GL(V ) is a non-trivial irreducible repres ...
We present an open-source program irvsp, to compute irreducible representations of electronic states for all 230 space groups with an interface to the Vienna ab-initio Simulation Package. This code is fed with plane-wave-based wavefunctions (e.g. WAVECAR) ...
We define a generalization of the Mullineux involution on multipartitions using the theory of crystals for higher-level Fock spaces. Our generalized Mullineux involution turns up in representation theory via two important derived functors on cyclotomic Che ...
In this thesis we study various one-dimensional quantum spin systems with SU(2) and SU(N) symmetry. We investigate the short-distance behavior of the SU(2) Heisenberg model in the limit of large spin and show that there exists an extended regime where pert ...
Let G be a simply connected simple linear algebraic group of exceptional Lie type over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p >= 0, and let u is an element of G be a non-identity unipotent element. Let phi be a non-trivial irreducible represen ...
We investigate the representation theory of finite sets. The correspondence functors are the functors from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. They have various specific properties wh ...
In this thesis we compute motivic classes of hypertoric varieties, Nakajima quiver varieties and open de Rham spaces in a certain localization of the Grothendieck ring of varieties. Furthermore we study the p-adic pushforward of the Haar measure under a ...
We prove formulas for power moments for point counts of elliptic curves over a finite field k such that the groups of k-points of the curves contain a chosen subgroup. These formulas express the moments in terms of traces of Hecke operators for certain con ...
This thesis is in the context of representation theory of finite groups. More specifically, it studies biset functors. In this thesis, I focus on two biset functors: the Burnside functor and the functor of p-permutation modules. For the Burnside functor we ...
Let G be a finite group and (K, O, k) be a p-modular system “large enough”. Let R = O or k. There is a bijection between the blocks of the group algebra RG and the central primitive idempotents (the blocks) of the so-called cohomological Mackey algebra coμ ...
We investigate correspondence functors, namely the functors from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. They have various specific properties which do not hold for other types of functor ...
We show that Brauer classes of a locally solvable degree 4 del Pezzo surface X are vertical for some projection away from a plane g : X -> P-1, i.e., that every Brauer class is obtained by pullback from an element of Br k(P-1). As a consequence, we prove t ...
