Ringel's interpretation of quantum groups as Hall algebras at $q=1$
Let $Q$ be a finite-type quiver and let $\mathfrak{g}$ be the semisimple Lie algebra associated with the corresponding simply-laced Dynkin diagram. Let $U_v^+(\mathfrak{g})$ be the positive part of ...

Representations of finite groups over the "field with one element"
Have there been any attempts to extend the "F_un" analogy to the representation theory of finite groups?
If I might be allowed some speculation:
If combinatorics can be regarded as analagous ...

What are the analogs of a Levi/Parabolic/Borel/Bruhat over the field with 1 element?
This is inevitably an imprecise question, but there are already several questions like this on the site so I thought i'd try anyway.
If I understand correctly, for any reductive algebraic group $G$ ...

Field with one element look at counting index-$n$ subgroups in terms of Homs to $S_n$, generalization to $F_{1^k}$?
Main idea shortly: As we discussed recently MO272045, there is beautiful fomula which
counts index-n subgroups in terms of homomorphisms to $S_n$.
Let me give "field with one element" interpretation ...

Buildings, projective geometry - what led Tits to think of "the field with one element"?
The mysterious object "field with one element" seems to appear first in J. Tits papers on buildings. It is mentioned in almost any text on $\mathbb{F}_1$.
However, I have never seen any exposition of ...

What are the points of simple algebraic groups over extensions of $\mathbb{F}_1$?
The "field with one element" $\mathbb{F}_1$ is, of course, a very speculative object. Nevertheless, some things about it seem to be generally agreed, even if the theory underpinning them is not; in ...

Analogies supporting heuristic: Weyl groups = algebraic groups over field with one element?
There is well-known heuristic that Weyl groups are reductive algebraic groups over "field with one element".
Probably the best known analogy supporting that heuristic is the limit $q\to1$ ...

Bijection between conjugacy classes and irreducible representation of Weyl group = Langlands correspondence over "field with one element"
Context: The number of conjugacy classes equals to the number of irreducuble representations (over C) for any finite group.
Moreover for the symmetric group there is well-known "natural bijection" ...

Gauss, Jacobi, Kloosterman sums and representation theory in the $\mathbb F_1$-world
This question is inspired by Why are Bessel function and Kloosterman sum similar? - it developed in me desire to understand Kloosterman sums better.
There seems to be common knowledge that Gauss, ...

Are there F_un Lie algebras ?
Background See WP-article on F_1 = F_{un} = Field with one element (and also this MO question). Paraphrasing someone:
we do not know what is it, but it is not a field :). For this question it is ...

Tannaka formalism and the étale fundamental group
For quite a while, I have been wondering if there is a general principle/theory that has
both Tannaka fundamental groups and étale fundamental groups as a special case.
To elaborate: The theory of ...
