Suppose that $$\mathbf{G}$$ is a connected reductive group over a finite extension $$F/\mathbb{Q}_{p}$$ and that $$C$$ is a field of characteristic $$p$$ . We prove that the group $$\mathbf{G}(F)$$ admits an irreducible admissible supercuspidal, or equivalently supersingular, representation over $$C$$ .

Centers of Sylow subgroups and automorphisms
Suppose that p is an odd prime and G is a finite group having no normal non-trivial p′-subgroup. We show that if a is an automorphism of G of p-power order centralizing a Sylow p-group of G, then a is inner.

null (Ed.)Abstract: For a group G, we define a graph Delta (G) by letting G^#=G\{1} be the set of vertices and by drawing an edge between distinct elements x,y in G^# if and only if the subgroup is cyclic. Recall that a Z-group is a group where every Sylow subgroup is cyclic. In this short note, we investigate Delta (G) for a Z-group G.more » « less

null (Ed.)Abstract A rigid automorphism of a linking system is an automorphism that restricts to the identity on the Sylow subgroup. A rigid inner automorphism is conjugation by an element in the center of the Sylow subgroup. At odd primes, it is known that each rigid automorphism of a centric linking system is inner. We prove that the group of rigid outer automorphisms of a linking system at the prime $$2$$ is elementary abelian and that it splits over the subgroup of rigid inner automorphisms. In a second result, we show that if an automorphism of a finite group G restricts to the identity on the centric linking system for G , then it is of $p'$ -order modulo the group of inner automorphisms, provided G has no nontrivial normal $p'$ -subgroups. We present two applications of this last result, one to tame fusion systems.more » « less

Given a representation of a finite group G over some commutative base ring k, the cofixed space is the largest quotient of the representation on which the group acts trivially. If G acts by k-algebra automorphisms, then the cofixed space is a module over the ring of G-invariants. When the order of G is not invertible in the base ring, little is known about this module structure. We study the cofixed space in the case that G is the symmetric group on n letters acting on a polynomial ring by permuting its variables. When k has characteristic 0, the cofixed space is isomorphic to an ideal of the ring of symmetric polynomials in n variables. Localizing k at a prime integer p while letting n vary reveals striking behavior in these ideals. As n grows, the ideals stay stable in a sense, then jump in complexity each time n reaches a multiple of p.more » « less

Let g be a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra and V an integrable g-module in category O. We show that the monodromy of the (normally ordered) rational Casimir connection on V can be made equivariant with respect to the Weyl group W of g, and therefore defines an action of the braid group BW on V. We then prove that this action is canonically equivalent to the quantum Weyl group action of BW on a quantum deformation of V, that is an integrable, category O module V over the quantum group Uhg such that V/hV is isomorphic to V. This extends a result of the second author which is valid for g semisimple.more » « less
