On isomorphisms of abelian Cayley objects of certain orders

AbstractLet m be a positive integer such that gcd(m,ϕ(m))=1 (ϕ is Euler's phi function) with m=p1⋯pr the prime power decomposition of m. Let n=p1a1⋯prar. We provide a sufficient condition to reduce the Cayley isomorphism problem for Cayley objects of an abelian group of order n to the prime power case. In the case of Cayley k-ary relational structures (which include digraphs) of abelian groups, this sufficient condition reduces the Cayley isomorphism problem of k-ary relational structures of abelian groups to the prime power case for Cayley k-ary relational structures of abelian groups. As corollaries, we solve the Cayley isomorphism problem for Cayley graphs of Zn (for the specific values of n as above) and prove several abelian groups (for specific choices of the ai) of order n are CI-groups with respect to digraphs

Quasisplit Hecke algebras and symmetric spaces

Let (G,K) be a symmetric pair over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different of 2 and let sigma be an automorphism with square 1 of G preserving K. In this paper we consider the set of pairs (O,L) where O is a sigma-stable K-orbit on the flag manifold of G and L is an irreducible K-equivariant local system on O which is "fixed" by sigma. Given two such pairs (O,L), (O',L'), with O' in the closure \bar O of O, the multiplicity space of L' in the a cohomology sheaf of the intersection cohomology of \bar O with coefficients in L (restricted to O') carries an involution induced by sigma and we are interested in computing the dimensions of its +1 and -1 eigenspaces. We show that this computation can be done in terms of a certain module structure over a quasisplit Hecke algebra on a space spanned by the pairs (O,L) as above.Comment: 46 pages. Version 2 reorganizes the explicit calculation of the Hecke module, includes details about computing \bar, and corrects small misprints. Version 3 adds two pages relating this paper to unitary representation theory, corrects misprints, and displays more equations. Version 4 corrects misprints, and adds two cases previously neglected at the end of 7.
