Decomposition of cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties
Colloquially I've often heard that “one can construct” all representations of simple groups of Lie type in the cohomology of Deligne–Lusztig varieties. The technical way I've seen this written is as ...

Cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig variety associated to Coxeter element
Determining the individual ($l$-adic) cohomology groups of Deligne-Lusztig varieties has only been done for the general linear group and for some other very specific cases (as far as I know).
However, ...

An example of a Deligne–Lusztig variety for a general linear group
Take $G=\operatorname{GL}_3$, defined over the algebraic closure of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and let $X$ be the set of Borel subgroups of $G$.
The Frobenius morphism $F:G\to G$ induces a map $F:...

(Why) are Deligne-Lusztig varieties nonempty?
Background: Let $G$ be a reductive $\mathbb F_q$-group and let $X$ be the variety of Borel subgroups of $G$. By the Bruhat decomposition, the $G$-orbits in the space $X\times X$ (with diagonal action) ...

Duals of unipotent characters of classical finite groups of Lie type in terms of Lusztig's symbols
The irreducible unipotent characters of classical finite groups of Lie type have been classified by Lusztig using the combinatorical notion of "symbols", see "Irreducible ...

$\ell$-adic cohomology of a quotient by group action
Suppose $Y \to Y/G$ is the Galois cover induced from a finite group $G$ acting on a scheme $Y$ and that this is indeed a Galois cover with $Y/G$ a scheme. In my case $Y$ is the Drinfeld curve $\mathrm{...

Representations of $\text{SL}_n(q)$ of degree $q^{O(n)}$
Every representation of $A_n$ of degree $n^{O(1)}$ is contained in a $O(1)$ tensor power of the defining permutation representation. Is there an analogous result for classical groups of Lie type, say $...

semisimple support of character sheaves
So the essential question is:
How should we think about, or if possible compute, the semisimple
support of a cuspidal character sheaf?
For example, let $G=SL_2$. We have the cuspidal character ...

An analogue of Deligne--Lusztig theory for real groups?
I am considering the following analogue of Deligne--Lusztig theory:
Take e.g. $G=GL_n(\mathbb{C})$, and let $F$ be the complex conjugate, then we have
$G^F=GL_n(\mathbb{R})$. Consider the ``Lang map''...

Is the Gelfand-Graev character isomorphic to a cohomology group for some sheaf on a Deligne-Lusztig variety?
Deligne-Lusztig theory
is awesome. You take a maximal torus $T$, you take a character $\theta$, construct a variety $X_T$$^*$, take etale cohomology, get a virtual character $R_T^\theta$, maybe it's ...
