Geometric Satake, Springer correspondence, and small representations II
For a split reductive group scheme over a commutative ring with Weyl
group , there is an important functor defined by
taking the zero weight space. We prove that the restriction of this functor to
the subcategory of small representations has an alternative geometric
description, in terms of the affine Grassmannian and the nilpotent cone of the
Langlands dual group to . The translation from representation theory to
geometry is via the Satake equivalence and the Springer correspondence. This
generalizes the result for the case proved by the first two
authors, and also provides a better explanation than in that earlier paper,
since the current proof is uniform across all types.Comment: Version 4: minor revisions; 73 page
Modular generalized Springer correspondence: an overview
This is an overview of our series of papers on the modular generalized
Springer correspondence. It is an expansion of a lecture given by the second
author in the Fifth Conference of the Tsinghua Sanya International Mathematics
Forum, Sanya, December 2014, as part of the Master Lecture `Algebraic Groups
and their Representations' Workshop honouring G. Lusztig. The material that has
not appeared in print before includes some discussion of the motivating idea of
modular character sheaves, and heuristic remarks about geometric functors of
parabolic induction and restriction.Comment: 19 pages. Version 2 includes more examples and tables in Section
Modular generalized Springer correspondence II: classical groups
We construct a modular generalized Springer correspondence for any classical
group, by generalizing to the modular setting various results of Lusztig in the
case of characteristic- coefficients. We determine the cuspidal pairs in all
classical types, and compute the correspondence explicitly for
with coefficients of arbitrary characteristic and for and
with characteristic- coefficients.Comment: 52 pages. Version 2 corrects a minor mistake in the combinatorics of
the type D case; no numbered statements are affected. Version 3 has minor
additions, mostly in Section 2; final version, to appear in J. Eur. Math. So
Modular generalized Springer correspondence III: exceptional groups
We complete the construction of the modular generalized Springer
correspondence for an arbitrary connected reductive group, with a uniform proof
of the disjointness of induction series that avoids the case-by-case arguments
for classical groups used in previous papers in the series. We show that the
induction series containing the trivial local system on the regular nilpotent
orbit is determined by the Sylow subgroups of the Weyl group. Under some
assumptions, we give an algorithm for determining the induction series
associated to the minimal cuspidal datum with a given central character. We
also provide tables and other information on the modular generalized Springer
correspondence for quasi-simple groups of exceptional type, including a
complete classification of cuspidal pairs in the case of good characteristic,
and a full determination of the correspondence in type .Comment: 40 pages. Version 2: added section 7.5, modified Table 5.2 to match
current conventions of GAP3. Version 3 has minor edits suggested by the
referee, including a slight strengthening of Proposition 3.2; final version,
to appear in Math. Annale

Navigating the ‘meaningless’ of social innovation: perspectives of social care practitioners in Scotland
Social innovation is an umbrella concept that allows space for a diverse range of perspectives to co-exist. In this paper, we explore how practitioners negotiate this complexity. Conducting 19 interviews with stakeholders involved in social enterprise and social care in Scotland, we show that almost anything can be conceived of as a social innovation as defined by the European Union. The EU definition can be a useful tool for organisations to demonstrate to funders how and why they are socially innovative. However, in failing to interrogate the power dimension of social innovation, the EU definition neglects any transformative potential
Cycling stability of a hybrid activated carbon//poly(3- methylthiophene) supercapacitor with N-butyl-Nmethylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ionic liquid as electrolyte
A long cycle-life, high-voltage supercapacitor featuring an activated carbon//poly(3-methylthiophene) hybrid configuration with N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ionic liquid, a solvent-free green electrolyte, was developed. The cyclability of a laboratory scale cell with electrode mass loading sized for practical uses was tested at 60 °C over 16,000 galvanostatic charge–discharge cycles at 10 mA cm−2 in the 1.5 and 3.6 V voltage range. The reported average and maximum specific energy and power, specific capacitance and capacity, equivalent series resistance and
coulombic efficiency over cycling demonstrate the long-term viability of this ionic liquid as
green electrolyte for high-voltage hybrid supercapacitors
Recording the SS Thistlegorm:Rapid multi-image underwater photogrammetric survey of a large Second World War wreck
This paper describes the workflow followed to survey and monitor the interior and exterior of a large and complex metal wreck, the SS Thistlegorm in the Red Sea, using digital photogrammetry. Utilizing a simple single-camera rig and off-the-shelf software, this study presents a cost-effective and easily replicable method for monitoring change in metal wrecks that meets professional standards and can involve non-specialists in data collection. This paper details the background of the SS Thistlegorm, the equipment used, and the photogrammetric surveys conducted in 2017 and 2022. It outlines the importance of having a clearly thought-out data-management system when working on a large target recorded over a limited series of dives. In particular, this paper considers testing the accuracy of the data obtained and describes the post-processing workflow in detail. The conclusion underscores the feasibility of achieving an accurate geo-referenced baseline 3D survey with readily available equipment and how these data can contribute to historical research and ongoing monitoring efforts.</p
Entanglement action for the real-space entanglement spectra of chiral abelian quantum Hall wave functions
We argue and numerically substantiate that the real-space entanglement spectrum (RSES) of chiral Abelian quantum Hall states is given by the spectrum of a local boundary perturbation of a (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory, which describes an effective edge dynamics along the real-space cut. The cut-and-glue approach suggests that the low-lying RSES is equivalent to the low-lying modes of some effective edge action. The general structure of this action is deduced by mapping to a boundary critical problem, generalizing the work of Dubail, Read, and Rezayi [Phys. Rev. B 85, 115321 (2012)]. Using trial wave functions, we numerically test our model of the RSES for the ν=2/3 bosonic composite fermion state
