Characters of simple $\mathfrak{sl}_n$-modules in positive characteristic with subregular nilpotent central character
Consider representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ in positive characteristic with a subregular nilpotent central character $\chi$ (i.e. $\chi$ is a nilpotent matrix whose Jordan normal form has two blocks ...
